Rush is so sweet and dedicated to Gia they're banter is funny and witty I love it. I also like how even though he's scared too he's stepping up and supporting her without in stake in her situation.

The Rebel Heir has captured my heart. These characters, the chemistry as a couple, and the banter hooked me in from the very first page. Rush and Gia are absolutely enthralling.

Rush is absolutely, hands down, without a doubt my favorite Vi Keeland/Penelope Ward hero. He is arrogant with the right amounts of jerk and charm, and he oozes charisma and sex appeal. Honestly, I was attracted to him from the first line he uttered. I had no problems believing that girls would be chomping at the bit to get their hands on him. I would if I would be there. Plus, he has that heart of gold underneath. Make no mistake, though, his soft heart is for a select few, but it is good enough to make me swoon hard for him.

Gia's personality is absolutely infectious. Something about her draws the reader and Rush in. She is light and fun, loyal, working hard to chase her dreams - basically the type of heroine you would want to be friends with. I adore her character, and love her banter with Rush. She isn't afraid to push his buttons, to put her desires out there, or to go for what she wants, whether that is her career or Rush.

The chemistry between these two is absolutely insane. Their personalities click, the friendship is perfect, the flirting is the best foreplay, and the tension between the two radiates. I love every single moment that these two walk the fine line between friends and lovers.

So at this point, you are probably wondering why the 4 CROWN rating if all I have been doing is gushing over these characters and their relationship. Well, by 11% I knew the plot twist. I knew what the final scene of the book was going to be, and I was not wrong. The writing is great, what we expect from these authors. You've already read my adoration for these two characters. However, when I know how the story is going to play out from almost the very beginning, it decreases my enjoyment of the book. I want to be slammed with the plot twist and have my mouth gaping open in shock. I didn't get this. Am I excited for Rebel Heart? Absolutely, the fall out is going to be EPIC if I know Rush. I don't know where the story is going to go, and I hope I get to experience the ride while it is happening with the second book versus figuring it out early.

Fans of these two will adore this book. Readers will fall in love with these characters, revel in the chemistry that heats up the screen, and cheer for these two to get together. Although I like more surprises with my plots, the characters and the relationship are enough to carry the story and keep readers entertained.

loved this book!! This far surpassed a treadmill book. It was so good I finished it in one day!! The chemistry between Gia and Rush was amazing! I was laughing so hard at the banter between the two of them! And holy mother of all cliffhangers!! I can't wait to read the next one. I am routing for these two!

5 STARS! Sexy, surprise-filled page-turner!

I’m a big fan of both Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward, and I especially love their co-written work. Two of Vi’s books landed on my 2017 favorites list, and she’s already claimed a spot on this year’s list. Keeland and Ward are a perfect pairing because they clearly work well together. Not only do their writing styles mesh seamlessly, but the transitions between the two authors are also virtually undetectable. As someone who’s read several of each author’s individual works, I can’t discern who is writing what, and that’s exactly how a co-written novel should read. Together, they consistently turn out stories that are not only well written and plotted, but that flow smoothly and draw the reader in, holding their attention with hard won yet beautiful, sexy love stories that are difficult to put down.

I’ll be honest, I’ve always shied away from cliffhangers because I’ve considered myself to be the kind of reader who needed the instant gratification of a complete story. I’ve been a strictly romance reader for the last 8 years, averaging about a book a day. I’ve read thousands of romance novels, avoiding cliffhangers like the plague. But over the last year or so, I’ve read a couple of stories that ended in a cliffhanger, and with a few caveats, I might have changed my stance somewhat. As long as the wait between books isn’t too long, I’ve found that I enjoy the actual experience of anticipating the release of the next book. I know, I know—color me surprised, too. I knew going into the Rush Series duet that a cliffhanger was involved, but the blurbs intrigued me enough that I really wanted to read these books. Most surprisingly, though, is that I think the fact that I have to wait for more of Rush and Gia’s story is genuinely ramping up my excitement. Of course, part of me wants the next book to suddenly appear on my Kindle, say, like right now. But, there is another part of me that is content with delaying that satisfaction and simply relishing in the opportunity to look forward to the release of Rebel Heart. Without going into too much detail, I’ll just say that while I am definitely eager to know what happens next, the authors gave me enough while still managing to leave me hungry for more—a feat I am certain was not easy to pull off but one that they did and did well.

Rush and Gia’s story started with a rush, that’s for sure. This wasn’t a typical boy-meets-girl, run-of-the-mill romance at all. Despite not having known each other for long, they definitely clicked, and a friendship built quickly and easily—or as easily as it could have built between two friends who had this kind off-the-charts chemistry sparking between them. I was swept right up into this romance along with Rush and Gia. They clearly enjoyed each other’s company, they had a lot of fun together, and this translated into some fantastic banter. But there was more than just a friendship forming here. The undeniable physical attraction pulsing between them, practically demanding acknowledgment, kept me invested in this couple and tapping my Kindle hoping for more.

A rebel in every sense of the word, Rush wasn’t looking for a relationship at all. His history clearly messed with his thought process on them, and while part of him definitely wanted to corrupt Gia in the most delicious ways, another part of him wanted to protect her—even if what he thought she needed protecting from was him. His confusion where she was concerned was evident and clearly communicated, which made his feelings and fears something that the reader could sympathize with. Gia had her own issues, and she certainly wasn’t the falling-at-his-feet bombshell he usually hooked up with. Her frank honesty, and the way she called him out, giving as good as she got, not to mention her curves, her looks and those glasses, sealed the deal though, and they were soon crossing the line. A surprise bump in the road pushes them back into the friend zone, but it isn’t long before Rush realizes that’s not where he wants to be. Too bad that bump in the road will feel like a pebble in their path compared to the boulder that’s just been dropped in front of them.

Keeland and Ward penned a sexy surprise-filled page-turner in Rebel Heir that was complex and positively engrossing. This was the kind of story that I found myself devouring, but as the pages turned and I neared the end, I was slowing my reading simply because I didn’t want it to be over. I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for Rebel Heart to release, and the kicker is that I’m perfectly happy to be here. Rebel Heir by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward gets five smooches from me!

I'm in love with Rush and Gia. I'm in love with their chemistry, their connection, their honesty. Rebel heir is an incredible story, a roller coaster of emotions (lust, laughter and be prepared also to shed a tear ot two) and with a mean cliffhanger ;)

Heathcliff Rushmore or Rush as he likes to be known as was brought up by his mum she became pregnant whilst dating the man of her dreams only to discover he was already married . His biological father wanted nothing to do with him but his paternal grandfather found out about his existence and saw to it that he had an a share of his inheritance after his death which did not please his father . Although he only sees his father and half brother during board meetings Rush prefers to live in the Hamptons where he owns several properties and a very profitable bar/ restaurant . One thing is for certain he’s a total player and with the sexy bad boy image he has no trouble getting girls but that all that’s set to change . Gia ex greeting card writer and now budding author is staying in a shared house with her best friend Riley , her aim is to write her novel that’s been commissioned if she doesn’t deliver by the deadline than she has to repay the money she be given and already spent . With no permanent man in tow she just has a one night stand with a rather handsome man who left her with a name and phone number which were false . Gia meets Rush when she’s covering the shift at the bar for her best friend Riley she doesn’t realise that he’s the owner . Having never done any sort of bar work before she’s absolutely useless but instead of chucking her out Rush offers her a job as a hostess in the restaurant . Gia gratefully accepts his offer at least now she’ll be earning some money it’s also pretty evident that there’s also a very strong sexual attraction bubbling up between the two of them. Sadly for Gia , Rush is not interested in a relationship especially with an employee he only wants sex with no strings attached. Can these two overcome deep seated issues and give in to their attraction, with book one ending on an OMG moment it’s sure to be a rollercoaster ride in book two ...... can’t wait to read it .😍😍

Couldn't finish it. :(

I'm really unhappy with this book, I really tried but I couldn't actually finish it. For me it's just annoying how everyone who behaves or dresses differently than Gia (till 57% of the book) is either a whore, or a slut or whatever, not just from her own point of view (which is the one that sadden me mostly) but also from Rush's pov. And the real problem is that is not something that happens lightly once or twice and is used in a way to send a message or teach something, is just something that happens over and over and over again in this book... as if this kind of speech was really harmless to women. C'mon, we're in 2018, this is a book written by two female authors. I'm disappointed to say the least.
And please, don't tell me that in order to a book to be erotic or whatever, you have to be degrading to women and make all your characters be as well. I read a lot of other books from the same genre and it's really rare to find this occurancy. I was actually surprised.
Well, if you're also a critic reader that worries about these kind of miscronstructions of women I really don't recommend this book in particular.
P.S.: The MAIN character is not portrait as "slut", till she puts on a skirt and some make up. What the fudge.
