The Heiress Swap is the first book I've read by Maddison Michaels but I will say, it won't be the last if I can help it. I enjoyed the story and the characters and hopefully the next book gives us Aimee's story as I truly interested in what she was up to while Evie was taking her place inthe ballrooms.

Our main characters in this story are Evie and Alex. I loved Evie. Having grown up as a companion to her wealthy cousin, she knows the ins and outs of what's required in society so when she agrees to take her cousin's place in London, it's not as difficult as one would imagine. With that said, the only caveat is that she not accept any proposals of marriage which she feels should be an easy task. Little did she know about the Duke of Hargrave.

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. Alex is determined to expose her…by thoroughly seducing her and proving to his cousin that she is not for him but when his plan goes sideways and he compromises Evie, he finds himself betrothed to her himself.

I enjoyed this story but Alex's determination to make Evie the bad guy in this story drove me crazy. I understood that his backstory sets the stage for his feelings but at the end of the day, it's not like these ladies had any choice in the matter and the fact that he held her responsible for all the wrongs he experienced was slightly annoying. I also think that as Evie started to have feelings and do more than just be betrothed to Alex (despite their plan to get out of it), she should have come clean with him. I suppose she was holding out hope that he would never have to know, but she took a pretty big step with him still calling her another name and thinking she was someone else.

Like I said, I did enjoy the book. The banter between the characters, the storyline, and the writing were all well done and I'll definitely pick up more by this author. If you're looking for a new historical romance, consider checking this one out.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the copy in exchange for an honest review.
