Happy BOOK BIRTHDAY to... The Heiress Swap by Maddison Michaels - REVIEW!

Life has been crazy, as previously stated, and continues to be, unfortunately, but the reading has been fabu...including today’s featured title. It’s a BOOK BIRTHDAY celebrant, and my second read penned by author Maddison Michaels, whose work I can certainly say continues to impress! So, if you’re a Historical Romance fan, stay right where you are...you DON’T want to miss this one! If you’re not a Historical Romance fan, perhaps I can persuade you to take a chance on this one because it’s got other elements that might just be up your alley! Ladies and gents, permit me to introduce today’s ebook of choice...

About the book… 

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. 





~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 




Think your classic twin switchero, but with older heroines, and unexpected love matches thrown in for the two doing the swapping. Are you with me? 

Aimee and Evie both love their own lives...BUT...Aimee is restless, and Evie wouldn’t say no to a little freedom that comes with a title. For Aimee, the answer is getting to spread her wings within her father’s business, if only he’ll take her seriously. For Evie, the answer is time and resources to explore her true passions. The solution for them both, a swap of places where those they are with will be none the wiser, they can experience just what they’ve been after, and nothing could POSSIBLY go wrong. Right? Umm, yeah, about that. As is often the case, things go left of center just when everything seemed to be smooth sailing, creating havoc the likes of which a bull in a china shop could only be equally compared. Mad props to both ladies for sticking to their guns, facing adversity (no matter how charming, disarming, or pig-headed!), and coming out on top, even if it was with a few more bumps and bruises to color their world. 

A great addition to the genre with fabulous characters and a great story-line you just can’t get enough of...or at least I couldn’t! Nothing but love for this book birthday celebrant, so join the party, and grab yourself a copy today!

About the author…. 


Indoctrinated into a world of dashing rogues and feisty heroines when she was fourteen years old, Maddison Michaels is a prolific reader and writer of romantic suspense and historical fiction. She gets her daily dose of suspense from working as a police officer, prosecuting real-life villains in the Courts of Australia. A member of the RWA and RWA Australia, Maddison is as passionate about her writing as she is about her other two loves: her family and her cups of tea. Luckily, she gets a healthy dash of romance married to her wonderful husband, and her exercise regime is kept on track by her six-year-old daughter, who ensures Maddison is kept very busy chasing her around. Maddison’s debut novel The Devilish Duke is her way of time traveling back to Victorian London to experience a cornucopia of intrigue, romance, and debauchery all from the comfort of her living room!

TLC Book Tours presents... THE BACHELOR BETRAYAL by Maddison Michaels - REVIEW!

Hi there!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.

Today, we're teaming up with TLC Book Tours and Entangled Publishing to celebrate the latest addition to the Secrets, Spies, and Scandals series from author Maddison Michaels!  It's a story that throws punches without apologies, both literally and figuratively, and has two characters that are so stubbornly set in denying their own desires while chasing their shared quarry, they're burning up from the inside out.  Ladies and gents, get ready for some historical spy games the likes of which you've never seen (or at least I haven't!) as we dive between the epages of today's blog tour guest and ebook of choice...

About the book...

He wants justice
Underestimating Marcus Black is the last thing his enemies ever do. After all, the respected Earl of Westwood is a deadly threat… when her Majesty needs him to be. And his only goal is to avenge his brother’s murder. Which would be much easier if the viciously-skilled Lady Kaitlyn Montrose wouldn’t swoop in, knee him in the bollocks, and then run off with his only lead…

She wants revenge
Kat is determined to avenge her beloved uncle’s murder and nothing will stop her. Especially not the devastatingly handsome, and equally lethal Marcus Black. The fact that he’s after the same target is a complication she hadn’t planned on. And as much as she enjoys taunting him, she has a job to do—one that doesn’t include sparring with the infuriating man at every turn. Except Kat has a new plan… one that Marcus will just hate.

Now they’ll have to work together… if they don’t kill each other first
Individually, Marcus and Kat are deadly. If they worked together, they could be unstoppable. But when attraction gets in the way of vengeance, it’s more than hearts on the line. And only one person can win…



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



It's not often a story starts off with a lady trapped in a train car with two miscreants that mean her harm...and SHE'S the one that comes out on top!  Not to mention the time she goes climbing in moonlight, encounters an unexpected, yet not completely unwelcome, spy of the male persuasion with the same lofty goal for the evening...and leaves him behind in pieces, even if only for a moment, as she escapes with her prize.  No siree, this is not a book like you've, or at least I've, read before...and I gotta say, me likee!

Kat is deadly with a dagger, though just as capable with simply her wits and well tailored clothing, thanks to her late Uncle Victor.  He's late not by time, but by circumstance...which gives us the plotline for Kat's revenge streak.  She grew up unlike most ladies of her station, and yet can blend into any social occasion or situation necessary.  She's sharp, and always in control...at least, she was...though the same can be said of the one causing the inner chaos she's trying to tamp down.  That chaos goes by the name of Marcus, and he has his own agenda for seeking the shared foe they are aiming for.  She wants to make them pay in blood, while he wants to see them pay for the rest of their days.  A role reversal for sure, but I can't say I blame either of them, considering the circumstances.  The thing is, while their teaming up is the best possible pooling of resources to get their man, they created a new obstacle to overcome as they inadvertently fan the flames of their hearts.  Trust me when I say, it's a pleasure to watch because you keep moving towards the inevitable, but you're never left hanging because you're so caught up in the storyline outside of their potential.

All in all, a great read from start to finish, and a series that I for one will be checking out the further adventures of in the near future...because hello, I haven't read the first book and I'm dying to see what happened there!  Recommended for adult Historical Fiction fans.
