Ever got yourself a massive pizza with stuffed crust and extra carbs on the side to go. Placed it on the kitchen counter top, stared at it and thought, "You are no good to me whatsoever, I have experienced your effects multiple times and have seen what you do to me." Then, just when you're about to close the box and outsmart that fucking pizza, you say damn it all to hell. ...more

One thing is for certain is that I love when Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland team up to write a book.
I love the fact that when I began this book, I quickly became caught up in their story. Vi and Penelope write seamlessly into every page, every word has you hooked. Their books they have written together are all binge-worthy. It’s hard to put them down.

I didn't even know what this story was about.
I just liked the book cover model.

...And apparently the story is good too...
First of all you need to know that this the first book out of a two book story. There is a cliffhanger in the end, but nothing I was not really expecting.

Fuck me...*bites her fist*
damn, I finally picked this one up and I liked it very much!
Classical plot by the master of craft Keeland with a twisty twist in the end that is not your usual game changer...LOL

The slut shaming pissed me the hell of. Basically, everyone who previously slept with hero was a slut or a whore. So yeah girls, it's 21st century but you can't have no strings attached sex cause you're a slut or a whore automatically. And also, you can't wear heels, short skirts and low cut blouses cause you look like sluts too.
And this coming from female authors.
Well... that was disappointing. I like both authors' previous work but this one didn't click. I didn't feel the love or chemistry be ...more

I went in blind and I have no clue why but I was expecting a royal romance lol That, it was not. But it was still good :) If you like an asshole hero who's a bit misunderstood, then you will probably enjoy this one! I have to admit if it wasn't for that twist of a cliffhanger at the end, I would have thought this novel to be rather predictable. Wasn't expecting it!

I LOVED THIS BOOK!
I sat at the pool on vacation and devoured this book. Rush ... is ... mine. More than the fantastic writing, wonderful plot, and lovable characters was so much emotion. There were times I was sitting with my hand over my heart as Rush stole it, other times I was fanning myself, and then cursing them the next.
Gia is my people. I swear, it was like hanging out with my best friend.
This is a true five star read. Keeland and Ward knocked it out of the park!

Do not read the spoiler if you intend to read the book because my spoiler is the revelation that is made towards the end of the book, which would totally spoil the book for you.
(view spoiler) I guess Book 2 will clarify it all.
Although the cover is awesome (yummy), this issue is one of my pet peeves so I do not want to read this book.

OH. MY. GOD. You can't leave me hanging like this. That cliffhanger makes me badly want to read Rebel Heart ASAP. I am curious how it's going to play out. With Gia and Rush's complicated situation in the last chapter, the sequel will be full of drama.

2.5 Stars
I was really digging this at first but by around 67% it started to go down hill...and then it crashed and burned. I had a few thoughts about who Harlan could be when Gia first spoke about him, and I’m so disappointed to say I was right. I wish I would have searched it out because I would have stopped right then. Anyway, this is not my jam, quite honestly the whole second half of the book just didn’t feel right, it went from over the top in one direction to the complete other side of the ...more

*grabs paper sack to breathe into*
I knew going into Rebel Heir that it was the first of a duet. I thought I was prepared. But I should know by now that Ms. Keeland and Ms. Ward never do anything half way. This book was two halves of a whole. And not only because it’s a duet but because the first half of the book gave me all the smiles. Even though I knew it was too good to last but I was just so engrossed in their story I didn’t think about anything other than the beauty I was rea ...more

Rush is the bad boy, illegitimate child of a man who's from a wealthy family and who inherits quite a large share after his grandfather passes away. He doesn't see eye to eye with his biological father and he has the wealth and common sense to do something about it.
That's his approach to almost everything until Gia comes along. Gia ends up working at his restaurant and he's really drawn to her. They start spending more and more time together and really getting to know each other. The probl ...more

While failing miserably to help her friend, aspiring author Gia Mirabelli is still fast on her feet and ends up employed at The Heights, an upscale restaurant/bar in the Hamptons. She only intended to supplement her income during the summer. She needs to write her novel without distractions, especially not lying ones like the previous g ...more

Rush is the owner of The Heights, he has that rough sexy exterior that makes woman go week at the knees but he also happens to be an arrogant je ...more

First course of business: I call dibs on Rush. Seriously. He’s mine. All mine. Because, damn that alpha male intensity just works for me. Mm hmmm....
And it works for Gia too. She’s the perfect balance to all that intense protective nature that radiates off Rush. Gia is quite unexpected—she’s trying to find her way and Rush is most definitely there to help her.
But at what cost? Freedom? Money? Friendship? Or their hearts? Will they both breakdown their barriers to let love in? Or is there to much ...more
