Book Review: Rebel Heir by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

How to kick off a great summer in the Hamptons:
Snag a gorgeous rental on the beach. Check.
Get a job at a trendy summer haunt. Check.
How to screw up a great summer in the Hamptons:
Fall for the one guy with a dark leather jacket, scruff on his face, and intense eyes that doesn’t fit in with the rest of the tony looking crowd. A guy you can’t have when you’ll be leaving at the end of the season.
Check. Check. Check.
I should add—especially when the guy is your sexy, tattooed God of a boss.
Especially when he not only owns your place of employment but inherited half of the town.
Especially when he’s mean to you.
Or so I thought.
Until one night when he demanded I get in his car so he could drive me home because he didn’t want me walking in the dark.
That was sort of how it all started with Rush.
And then little by little, some of the walls of this hardass man started to come down.
I never expected that the two of us, seemingly opposites from the outside, would grow so close.
I wasn't supposed to fall for the rebel heir, especially when he made it clear he didn’t want to cross the line with me.
As the temperature turned cooler, the nights became hotter. My summer became a lot more interesting—and complicated.
All good things must come to an end, right?

Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

Rebel Heir is book one in The Rush Series Duet.  Yes, there's a cliffhanger. Absolutely Yes, you want to read it, cliffhanger and all.  Although I saw the cliffy coming I couldn't wait to get to the angst. And this book has angst!

It's has it all:
Bad Boy- Check
Fun Bantering- Check
Sweet & Sexy- Check
All Heart- Check

Rebel Heir- Heathcliff 'Rush' Rushmore came into an unexpected inheritance. He mostly keeps to his properties in the Hamptons. One bar in particular is his home base.  It's also the same bar where he discovered Gia Mirabelli behind his bar screwing up drink orders.

Gia had took her book advance and moved to the Hamptons for the summer.  When her roommate begged her to cover her at work, she agreed hoping for the best. The best didn't happen as she screwed a few drink orders and the boss was not happy.

Luckily for Gia the boss had another position for her. Although Rush would love for that position to be under him, he doesn't date his employees.  But there was something about Gia.

I loved the spin the story took. It went down an unexpected path. It put the newly found relationship to the test. The ending left me excited for the next book! 5 Stars
