The Devil and the Heiress (The Gilded Age Heiresses, #2)
by

Like the first book in the series, The Devil and the Heiress is an exemplary take on the fortune hunter romance. Christian and Violet are appealing, well-suited characters, and their road trip romance is enjoyable to read. The story takes off, however, after a bit of a bump in the road - a small twist that definitely surprised us and added a little fun to the romance.
But of course "the course of true love never did run smooth," so once the wheels come off of the relationship, we needed to see how our characters came back together. We love a little groveling from a hero, and when it's public groveling combined with feminist political action, we really love it - and we get it here.
If you're looking for a basic fortune hunter on a road trip romance with some "pretend to be married" and a dash of hurt/comfort, this is a well-put-together exemplar that will check all your boxes.
49-Word Summaries:
Meg: What’s a budding romance novelist (and new money heiress) to do when her parents want to auction her off to the highest bidder? Why, get a sexy earl who definitely doesn’t want her cash to drop her off at a writer’s colony on his way to Scotland of course!
Laine: Violet is committed to her boyfriend but he isn't quite so committed to her so she decides to run off to a NaNoWriMo rather than marry an aristocrat. He's decided to trick her into thinking running off to Scotland to marry was her idea. Sexy time ensue before marriage.
This objective review is based on a complimentary copy of the novel.
