Man, how is it possible to write this review without giving away any spoilers, it's a bit of a tough one especially when it's a duet and the previous ended with a pretty big cliffhanger. But as duets go, that was expected to happen. Lies or well withholding truths is never a good premise for any relationship. You'll be on the edge of your seat as you go through the trials that Rush and Gia will face to finally get their HEA.
Rebel Heir had me completely invested in this duet and as soon as that one ended, I was eager to get the conclusion for Rush and Gia. I was so nervous and a bit anxious to see how everything played out between them because honestly, it wasn't looking good at all. I was definitely expecting to get the same kind of feelings I had while reading Rebel Heir and it was bit disappointing when that wasn't the case. Overall. the duet is still a good read and I'm still an epic fan of the awesome writing duo that is Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland. But I found myself rather disappointed with the actions of Rush and Gia.
With the major conflict involving Rush's reactions, I think the way he handled it wasn't great and my heart broke for Gia. I was surprised to see something outweigh his love for Gia. And was continuously stringing her along, which I didn't think it was fair to Gia at all. I was pretty frustrated with his character in this one, he needed to look at the bigger picture and figure out what kind of life he wanted with Gia.
And the few horrible assumptions that Gia made when it came to Rush was just a bit off-putting for me, a man who was all-hands-on-deck when it came to being the baby's father. Even going the lengths of setting up a nursery in his own home, how could you second guess that? The back and forth between them left me in a bit of a daze.
There were some moments in Rebel Heart that didn't quite fit the flow of the story, it took me away from it actually.
As a duo, this was an enjoyable read, but Rebel Heart left me a bit at odds and it wasn't anything like it expected it to be.
I still love this author duo and fans should definitely give this one a try.
