Blurb:
Evie Jenkins didn’t know what she was thinking by agreeing to switch places with her American heiress cousin. After all, she’s naught but a poor—and usually quite sensible—companion. All she has to do is spend six weeks among London society, pretending to be an heiress…and ensure that absolutely under no circumstances does she accept any proposals of marriage.
When his cousin declares himself in love with a new woman visiting from the States, Alexander Trenton—the sixth Duke of Hargrave—is determined to prove that the young lady in question is just another American “Dollar Princess” desperate for an English title. She seems innocent enough, but Alex is determined to expose her…by thoroughly seducing the lovely and fiercely intelligent heiress himself.
What he assumed would be just one simple kiss erupts into something wild, uncontrollable, and much too public. Now the duke must save her reputation with a betrothal…little knowing that his charming Princess harbors a secret that would certainly ruin them both.
My thoughts:
I’ve read a book by this author before and liked it. The Heiress Swap convinced me to request on Netgalley by the blurb.
Two cousins went to England, one is wealthy and one not so, so they switch places. Evie would have a chance to see museums since she loves fossils and her cousin will train to be in her father’s company since wealthy women don’t usually work and she wants to prove herself to her father.
Evie, unfortunately, catches the attention of the duke. He is convinced she wants his money.
The rest of the book was okay. I was surprised by the drama that followed Evie and the result of it. The ending disappointed me a little because I felt like his uncle let her down and she was raised in her cousin’s shadow for absolutely no reason. I think she forgot too easily. I also felt like Alexander only decided to go after her once he discovered the truth of her past and the letters from his mother. I was annoyed that he kept referring to Evie as a Dollar Princess even though she continued to prove him otherwise.
3.5 stars.
