I devoured Rebel Soul in a matter of hours. I couldn’t put this book down. West, despite coming from old many and ancient traditions, is nothing like the rest of his family. Sure, he may have the money, but he doesn’t have the arrogance about him. Stacia is hard working, she loves her family and with the sudden arrest of her father she will do anything to help them.

West is swoony to the extreme. Sure, he needs an heir in a year and is willing to do anything to make it happen. However, when Stacia quickly becomes a fixture in his life he is willing to do anything he can to make her see they are perfect for each other and that this is something they can do together. Stacia is a little more reluctant. I love that girl though. She isn’t your typical heroine, all prime and proper. She is covered in tattoos and piercings and pretty BA. There is so much chemistry between West and Stacia. When they finally give into their connection it is explosive and there is no stopping them. Their humor is priceless and it works for them.

Everyone, well mainly Colton, thinks this is all a mistake and nothing good will come out of it but West is determined to prove everyone wrong and convince Stacia they are meant to be. P.S. anyone else hoping Colton gets a book soon!?

Rebel Soul gives a different twist to the heir to get inheritance romance. This story is steamy, hilarious, and has a little bit of drama. A MUST READ.

This was one of those books that will ALWAYS be a go-to, feel good, sexy read.

I loved West and Stacia. I say that about a lot of characters but "love" is such a widely encompassing word that it's just perfect to use.

West was swoon-worthy, genuine, and sweet as candy. He was smitten with Stacia from the get go. He was honest, determined, and so damn giving.

Stacia was in a crappy situation with her family. West immediately helped her out. Along the way she fell for him and gave in to their undeniable lust and budding romance.

West and his alpha-possessive mind was sexy AF. Stacia with her badass car knowledge, quirky movie liners, and confidence was a breath of fresh air.

This is easily going to be a pick me up reread book in the future. So much love!

Ahhh this is everything I wanted it to be and more!

I have read a lot of books where either the hero or the heroine must do something, sometimes a crazy something, in order to receive their inheritance. However, I've never read a book where the hero must have a baby by the time he turns 25 in order to receive it and I loved every second of it! I devoured this book in just one sitting; I couldn't read it fast enough!

West is absolutely everything I wanted him to be. He was sexy, alpha, sweet, caring, smooth, and I fell in love with him just as much, and just as quickly, as Stacia did. Stacia is incredibly strong and life threw her a giant curve ball. She will do anything to help her family and I love how stubborn she is.

I loved the relationship these two have, they go from friends to lovers to so much more! Their journey made me laugh out loud, swoon like crazy, and fall in love right along with them. While on the surface they couldn't be more opposite, they connect on such a strong and deep level as their relationship grows and their feelings for each other become stronger.

If you love books with babies and sweet men, you have got to pick this one up!

Grateful to have received a complimentary ARC copy to honestly review.

Easy arranged-relationship romance read!

Rebel Soul is an arranged-relationship/hero needs a baby to fulfil the wishes of a dead relative kinda book. This trope has been done many times before, but I felt like this had a different take on it which ended up being the sweet, romantic story of Stacia and West.

West Larson is the heir to his grandmother's estate, which holds many childhood memories for him. However, his grandfather left instructions in his will that he needs to produce an heir before he is 25, or he won't get anything. What he didn't specify, was marriage, so West decides he's going to find someone who he can have baby with. His cousin's wife's best friend (promise it's not that complicated), Stacia has had her world tipped upside down when her father is accused of embezzlement and life as she knows it ceases to exist. West and Stacia have a brief history and a whole lot of chemistry. She is having money problems trying to help out her father and family, so in West's mind, they can have a mutually beneficial agreement. Howerver, she wants nothing to do with him and his proposition, despite how attracted she is to him. When a turn of events mean Stacia moves in with West, things go from friends to more quickly as they give in to the attraction. But there are other obstacles to face, in the form of West's family, his lawyer's disapproval and then the problem of actually making a baby. As a couple, they start to navigate their way through life together and it was a really sweet read.

Stacia was so great, she was stubborn and really didn't want to take any hand outs, which is why she stood her ground for so long. She acted like a grown up would, doing whatever it took to help her family in their time of need. I also loved how different she as from the clean cut heroines some stories have. West was full of boyish charm, but he knew when to act like an adult and assessed the situation maturely, he didn't panic and jump straight into a relationship to gain his inheritance. I loved how they had a friendship already, which was made stronger before anything more happened between them.

The only thing I was slightly disappointed with was the ending. It felt so rushed and abrupt, I thought we'd see more of the pregnancy and them as parents. Also, the lack of a twist was kind of unexpected. I am glad that it didn't go down the miscommunication drama route where one of the main characters misunderstands and the whole relationship begins to fall apart at the end of the pregnancy, but everything kind of felt too easy in the end. But then, I think because both the H/h acted like adults throughout, any dramatic twist would've felt forced. I'm not sure, it just felt a bit underwhelming at the end. I also wish they'd resolved a few things in more detail, like with her dad's court case and West's parents' relationship with the couple.

Overall, I really enjoyed Rebel Soul, it was a nice easy read, and I did laugh out loud a few times at the film references. West and Stacia were a great couple who were hot but had good witty banter too, keeping me interested and I read it in one sitting. I will definitely be working backwards to Brock and AJ's story soon!

Oh wow...
So, I have read a few books by this author now and I have come to love each one and each character that I've read about... This one now holds first place when it comes to my favorite reads by this author.
Where to start?

Well, Stacia comes across as a rough and tough kind of girl. She's covered in tattoos and for the most part, gives off the vibe that she is the rough kind but underneath all that is a sweet, kind, loving and soft girl.

West is a mirror of perfection. He's sexy, swoony, smooth and a character that had me weak at the knee as much as he had Stacia weak at hers.

Life-changing events and Stacia's life and everything she knows about it changes. Her father is done for embezzlement and sent to prison which leaves her with basically nothing. She has the idea of moving in with West. They both find themselves drawn to each other, something they did not see coming.

West is entitled to an inheritance, he must become a father and have a baby by the time he hits 25 which only leaves him a year. So when he goes in search of someone to be the mother of this child, who is the perfect person for the position? Stacia of course! But is the right thing for her to do? Is she the perfect woman to do it? What will that mean for these two? Will they actually have this baby?

You will have to read to find out!!

I loved this book. It's one of those books you can't help get lost in the plot. I laughed and I swooned, and I obsessed!

This book was hot, fun, enticing and all round an amazing read that had my attention from page one all the way through the very end!

It's a 5 star must read!

Stacia & West have amazing chemistry.

Both are in a sticky life situation - would an "arrangement" work for them both? This book had an interesting twist on the unplanned pregnancy and I liked it!

A quick, easy read with steam, family drama, fun friends and more!
