Book Review: The Rebel Heir by Elizabeth Michels

Thanks to Princes William and Harry, the phrase “the heir and the spare” has become household words. In most Regency romances, “the heir” usually takes center stage. But, in this new series by Elizabeth Michels, “the spare” is the hero.

Book 2 in the Spare Heirs Society series, “The Rebel Heir (Spare Heirs)” introduces Ash Claughbane: The Imposter. A con artist, he has been surviving for the past seven years by swindling members of the peerage. He was actually doing very well until he met Lady Evangeline Green.

Evangeline is biggest distraction Ash has ever had in his career. Yet, try as he might, he cannot take the lady out of his mind. This of course complicates his plan to the max because Ash’s main target is Evangeline’s father!

Win the lady and lose the con; lose the lady and win the con! Ash finds himself in no man’s land as he feels conflicted with each passing day. Will his heart win? Or will the promise he made to his mother on her deathbed rule the day?

A fast and easy read, “The Rebel Heir (Spare Heirs)” is destined to be one of your historical romances favorites. Evangeline and Ash are unforgettable characters. Though they sound unsuited in the beginning, the more you know them, the more you realize that theirs is actually a match made in heaven.

“The Rebel Heir (Spare Heirs)” is Rated M for Mature due to some mild sexual content.
