Description from the publisher:

From New York Times best-selling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward comes the first book in a new sexy duet. 

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 the first book in the Rush Series Duet.  Book Two, Rebel Heart, will release six weeks later on May 22, 2018.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
REBEL HEIR is the first book in the Rush Duet.  These must be read in the order of release and for God’s sake do not start this without having the second book downloaded and ready to begin as soon as you finish.  (You’ll thank me for this advice.)



What is the equivalent of throwing your kindle, if you're listening on audio?  It's a darn good thing I had pulled into the gas station just as I got to the cliffhanger.  I think I scared the couple in the car ahead of me when I screamed.  Someone, please, send me a code or a gift card so I can get the next audiobook!  I'm dying here!!



Rush and Gia meet with sparks and the flames just keep getting higher.  You can tell yourself you’re just friends all you want, but some things just cannot be denied.  Then there are other things that cannot be ignored, (but those would be spoilers). 



What can I say:  Read it – join me in screaming and wanting to throw my entire car!



Narration:  The narration is mediocre to great.  Maxine Mitchell is good, but a little flat – she’s, unfortunately, one-dimensional.  Sebastian York could read my Walmart receipt and make it sound like deep rich chocolate with raspberry sauce.  It’s not a male/female thing – it’s an acting thing.  I lived for his chapters and endured hers.  All together, they are mismatched, but a solid four.



Note:  Romance Read of the Month Club has a new Audiobook program and this was their first gift to subscribers in July’s 2019.  They love me; they gave me this wonderful story.  They hate me; I don’t have the second book!!  (Yes, I’m whining.)  While I received this book as a gifted audiobook copy, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
