American Royals II: Majesty

By: Katharine McGee

Narrated by: Brittany Pressley

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES • Is America ready for its first queen? If you can't get enough of Harry and Meghan and Will and Kate, you'll love this sequel to the New York Times bestseller that imagines America's own royal family--and all the drama and heartbreak that entails. Crazy Rich Asians meets The Crown. Perfect for fans of Red, White, and Royal Blue and The Royal We.


Power is intoxicating. Like first love, it can leave you breathless. Princess Beatrice was born with it. Princess Samantha was born with less. Some, like Nina Gonzalez, are pulled into it. And a few will claw their way in. Ahem, we're looking at you Daphne Deighton.

As America adjusts to the idea of a queen on the throne, Beatrice grapples with everything she lost when she gained the ultimate crown. Samantha is busy living up to her "party princess" persona...and maybe adding a party prince by her side. Nina is trying to avoid the palace--and Prince Jefferson--at all costs. And a dangerous secret threatens to undo all of Daphne's carefully laid "marry Prince Jefferson" plans.

A new reign has begun....

What could have been

I really like how it includes parts of US history that really did happen but with a fictional spin. I also enjoy the new geographic information of how the US could have been.
It’s a fun, romance, drama filled version of how the US could have been today if a handful of men had made different decisions centuries ago.

Loved it!

This series is so good! I didnt want to stop listening! Love story and royalty the best!

Awesome

Both the 1st book and 2nd book were awesome! I hope the story would continue! This series would make an awesome TV series or movie. The American "Downton Abbey".

Such a good book!

I love this book so much, I could not stop reading it! I highly suggest it if you have read the first of the series.

I'll be waiting for book 3 if there is one.

Another great entry in this series. Brittany does it again narration wise, she nails it with voices, accents and tones. Glad to see Daphne taken down several pegs, among other things.
