The Bastard and the Heir by Saxon James & Eden Finley

My review

5 stars

Well, what can you really say? But when these two authors get it right, they do it masterfully. The raw emotions and having the understanding of why these choices are being made even if you know they are wrong you can understand them. Wren shows us that by being brought up away from this corruption, he can bring a new light into a company that so desperately needs it. He brings this family closer together even if pain needs to happen first. He brings it all together. Darcy learns what life really is all about, not just an obligation but true hard earned happiness.

Seriously, an outstanding read from Saxon & Eden, different from their normal, but that's what makes this one along with UP IN FLAMES, so moving and powerful.

Book overview

DARCY

The death of my father not only rips out my heart but tears open my entire life.

His funeral brings the appearance of his bastard son, the byproduct of my father’s apparent misadventures. Wren Porter is a prickly, untrusting beef cake in an ill-fitting suit, and he looks so much more the part of a Ritcherson than I do.

Now it’s on me to teach him the family business while ignoring my attraction to the man the world thinks is my brother.

All it would take is one misstep for him to find out the secret my father literally took to his grave.

He’s not the bastard son.

I am.

Wren’s the true heir to the Ritcherson fortune, but I’ve fought my whole life for my place at the table. If anyone discovers the truth, I’ll lose everything.

I used to think the worst thing that could happen would be losing the company, but the closer I get to Wren, I realize the biggest thing on the line is my heart.

The Bastard and the Heir is a medium angst romance between two men who are absolutely, positootly not related. The world just thinks they are.
