This book was so great. I really loved the banter between Harrison and Aimee. The author was captivating, I could not put the book down. The story follows a Heiress who switches places with her cousin to follow her dream in her father company. She however falls in love with her competition whom her father entrust the company to since she is a woman. The book has love, loyalty, grief, heartache, murder, kidnapping. It really is a roller coaster that everyone needs to be on. I recommend this book to anyone. It was well written and can’t wait to read more from this writer

If you read The Heir Swap, this book is about what Aimee is up to in London. I'd been waiting for this release and it was good.
I will say that the pacing felt slower than the first book, but I was itching to get to the reveal.
What I wasn't expecting was the villain in this book! I never saw it coming.

Heiress Aimee Thorton-Jones is bound for England along with her cousin. Her parents hope she'll meet an eligible titled lord and settle down, as her mother wishes. She wants to prove that she is just as valuable as a son and take over her father's company. And she intends to do that by swapping places with her cousin as a trainee in his London offices.

The London office is run by her father's protege Harrison Stone. Before officially meeting he and Aimee have a run-in on the street that leaves each irritated with the other. And that carries through to their everyday interactions with each other. He's torn between sending her home or thoroughly kissing her. His gut tells him she's hiding something.

And with the company under threat of sabotage, he plans on finding out who she really is.

Thanks so much to the author and Entangled for this ARC to review.

Book two of the cousin swap...

Aimee (the American heiress) took her cousin's place, working in her fathers' business. With Harrison, his protege as her boss. There's some sabotage going on as well as a lot of kissing or more. Harrison gets pushy and high handed, which is the wrong tactic with Aimee, who is very headstrong.
Recommend.

the Heiress Masquerade is the second book in the Dollar Princess series by Maddison Michaels and I have to admit I was waiting on this one as I wanted to get the other half of the story from Aimee's point of view. In book one, we followed Evie, her cousin when they changed places and now we get to see what happened to Aimee.

Aimee Thornton-Jones is an heiress and she knows her mother's plan is to ship her off to England to marry some titled lord but she has different plans. She is going to swap places with her cousin and become a trainee at her father's company to prove to him she's just a valuable as any son. The only problem is his protege - Harrison Stone. They don't exactly have the best first meeting.

Harrison Stone has plans and this determined young woman in his employ is not going to derail them. It doesn't matter that every time she's around him all he can think about is kissing her. When he finds out that instead of being the niece of his boss, he is actually his daughter, he is even more concerned about the feelings he has for her. When they can't fight their feelings anymore, they take the next step. Unfortunately for Harrison, he messes everything up by trying to force a marriage and Aimee doesn't take it well.

All the while, there is some definite sabotage going on with the business, and Aimee and Harrison are determined to figure out who is trying to create problems. As they dig deeper though, things start to get more dangerous and the question is whether everyone will come out of the deal in one piece. Add to that, Harrison's unwillingness to give his heart to anyone and there is a real chance that Aimee and Harrison don't have a chance.

I loved that you get bits of Aimee in book one and then we get bits of Evie in book two. This book has an interesting story and great characters. It's a quick read and I enjoyed this book. I highly recommend you read both books.

Aimee and her cousin are going to England, with different purposes. Aimee is to take part in social functions (and maybe find a husband), and Evie will attend some training at her Uncle’s London office. Aimee wants to be a bigger part of her father’s company. She talks a reluctant Evie into trading places. Harrison Stone doesn’t know what to think about the niece of the head of the company. She is self-assured, stubborn, and beautiful. She completely confounds him. Their mutual antagonism is entertaining. Something is fishy about the company’s books. They must work together to solve that mystery. The ledgers are not the only problem or danger they must face. Not only is someone out to harm the company, they apparently want to harm Aimee as well. A complex story with a couple of mysteries, danger, a secret identity, and a sizzling romance.
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and voluntarily reviewed it.

After having read The Heiress Swap last year, I was very happy to see the other story popping up on Netgalley. Because both of the stories are intertwined.

That is: Aimee has persuaded her cousin Evie to swap lifes during their visit to England. In the first part, we follow Evie, and in this second part it’s about Aimee’s part of the swap. I loved Aimee’s character. She is bold and daring and not above some lies and deceit to pursue her dream of following in her father’s footsteps into his company. But, as a woman, Aimee is not supposed to work, not supposed to voice her opinion. And certainly not critize her boss. I loved, how she was relentless in getting her way and showing the world her superpower. You go, girl.

And Harrison: big mouth, but giant marsh mellow underneath. Loved him and his endless bickering with Aimee. Five out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

⭐️⭐️Don’t Miss This Fantastic Book!⭐️⭐️

Maddison Michaels has truly outdone herself with *The Heiress Masquerade*, the second book in her captivating Dollar Princess series. This historical romance is a delightful mix of charm, wit, and intrigue that kept me hooked from the first page to the last. I loved everything about this story including the characters, the picturesque setting, and of course the brilliant plot!

Get ready as Michaels takes you on a journey through The Gilded Age in Victorian England where I found myself fully immersed in a world of opulence, societal pressures, and the underlying tensions of class and gender expectations. That’s right Michaels brings it all and there were times during this book that I found myself truly upset or overjoyed at the trials and victories that the MCs experience. As usual women were considered inferior to men and incapable of functioning without the guidance of a strong man. 🙄🤐 If I had lived in that era I would have constantly been in trouble as biting my tongue and bowing down to male greatness has never been a virtue of mine.

Alas, Michaels created two characters that make their way together through several different types of foes.

- **Aimee Thornton-Jones**: As the protagonist, Aimee is a breath of fresh air. She's intelligent, fiercely independent, and determined to prove herself in a man's world. Aimee is not your typical 19th-century heroine; she's a woman ahead of her time, navigating both high society's expectations and her own ambitions with grace and wit. One of my favorite quotes that captures her spirit is when Aimee boldly declares, *"I refuse to be just another pretty face in a parade of eligible women. I am my own woman, and I will chart my own course."*

- **Harrison Stone**: Harrison, the brooding and sharp-witted hero, is Aimee’s perfect foil. His internal conflict and growing attraction to Aimee add layers to the story, making their relationship all the more compelling. The chemistry between them is electric, highlighted by their witty banter and undeniable sexual tension. One line that stood out to me was Harrison’s realization: *"Every argument, every challenge she throws at me only deepens my desire to know the woman behind the mask."*

The narrative is filled with unexpected twists and turns, especially as Aimee and Harrison work together to uncover who is threatening her father’s company. The mystery element is woven seamlessly into the romance, adding an extra layer of suspense that kept me turning the pages. Michaels’s ability to balance romance with intrigue is masterful.

Overall, *The Heiress Masquerade* is an absolute gem of a novel, offering everything a historical romance reader could want—romantic tension, a strong-willed heroine, a dashing hero, and a plot that surprises at every turn. Maddison Michaels has crafted a story that is both timeless and timely, and I eagerly await the next installment in this series. If you’re a fan of Bridgerton or The Princess Switch, you’ll fall in love with this

American heiress Aimee Thornton-Jones concocts what she thinks is a great way for her to learn more of her father's business while her cousin, Evie, takes her place among the ton with her chaperone. Aimee intended to take the secretarial course her father had arranged for Evie so that she would have skills to take care of herself once Aimee married, hopefully someone with an English title. Aimee chose to get more information on her father's business so that she could convince him that she was able to take over when he was no longer able to perform his duties. She didn't plan on encountering fellow American Harrison Barnes and when they did meet, Aimee was unable to keep to the script and her natural instincts came out. It was puzzling to Harrison that Evie's uncle thought she was quite and shy when his first interaction with her showed her as anything but those descriptions. Suffice it to say, their subsequent interactions didn't change Harrison's initial impression of Evie but that didn't stop the intense attraction he felt for her and she returned. Neither Harrison, nor Aimee/Evie were planning on marriage and they will each have to deal with their feelings about love, commitment and how to manage them and their aspirations regarding being business owners if they are to have a HEA. The Heiress Masquerade is a wonderful follow-up to Evie's story.

This was my first time reading this author. Overall, the book was good, but something was missing for me. I’m going to give this book 4 stars but really, I’d give it 3 1/2 stars. Aimee and Harrison were likable enough, they had some chemistry, but their personalities were a tad exhausting. Harrison doesn’t want to love because loving leaves you vulnerable to heartbreak. Aimee is a brash American who is threatening to pull her Derringer pistol on Harrison and others way too frequently. By the end, I believed in the chemistry and love of the characters more so, but the story and emotions still fell a little flat. I’m thankful for the HEA, but it was a pretty formulaic, repetitive read start to finish. I did not fall in love with this story or these characters. I’m usually all in on strong female characters, but Aimee really seemed as foolish as she was strong. Still with a read overall.

I found this romance both enjoyable and entertaining. Both main characters, Aimee and Harisson, were likeable. I especially liked the heroine. She is a headstrong, self-confident young woman who knows exactly what she wants. She aspires to have a career and run her father’s companies. For that, she will find a way to access her father’s offices and learn all she can about his business and how to get it. This book is full of tension and twists and turns, and we can't stop reading it. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, which had the perfect mix of romance, spice, and twist.
I received a complimentary copy of this book, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I liked the book. The plot is well written and intriguing with its hate-love, swapped identity and rags to riches tropes, and is full of banter and bickering, twists, action, danger and a few steamy love scenes.
It took me a while to warm up to Aimée’s character. She is a very strong, independent, goal-oriented personality, but was too rude, unfair and spoilt for me at first. Harrison has his flaws too, but I liked him from the start. Their relationship is a rollercoaster of conflicting emotions, tension and passion.

The book can be read as standalone. The story runs parallel to the first installment, therefore it is also possible to reverse the order if wished.

When her mother wants to send Aimée Thornton-Jones, the daughter of a rich American magnate, to England so that she can have a season in London and find an aristocratic husband, she is furious. Aimée has no intention to become the next Dollar Princess and marry, least of all a destitute English Lord, have children or lead a stifling life as a woman and member of high society. Her greatest wish is to work with her father and one day take over his company. But her father is also against her plans. Aimée therefore decides to swap identities with her cousin Evie Jenkins, who is to accompany her on the crossing to England as her companion and complete a secretarial internship in the European branch of her father's company in London. For Aimée, it is the best opportunity to learn more about the business and prove to her father that she is an excellent businesswoman. The only downside is that the London office is run by Harrison Stone, who, a favorite protégé of her father, she was jealous of all her life and therefore became her nemesis and competitor.

Harrison, the descendant of an English earl but raised in America, was still a boy when his parents died, leaving him alone, penniless and without the support of his English relatives, until Thomas Thornton found him and became his mentor and a kind of foster father to him.
Since then, Harrison has worked his way up in Thornton’s company and now heads the European branch of the company. He is close to achieving his life goals to become wealthy and independent when an important business deal suddenly falls through, the company is sabotaged and additionally he has to deal with his boss's headstrong, intelligent and sassy „niece“, to whom he feels irresistibly attracted...

I hate it when my expectations aren’t met and unfortunately, that was the case withThe Heiress Masquerade. The premise is solid: an American heiress shipped off to England for the season to catch herself an English Lord chooses instead to swap places with her cousin and instead work in her father’s London office learning the business. Sadly, while Aimee Thornton-Jones is described as highly intelligent and despite her speaking five languages fluently and understanding her father’s business, she also comes across as petulant and, at times, downright childish in her behaviour. I struggled to like her. On the other hand, Harrison Stone, head of the London office, is very easy to like and respect and it was his character that kept me reading when I really wanted to tell Aimee to grow up and stop being such a princess. The plot is reasonably well structured but the dialogue is all wrong for the period in which this book is set, another thing that annoyed me. Add to that some of the word selection was just plain wrong. For example,“... she didn’t seem overly congenial to the idea.” I think the author meant to say “... amenable to the idea.” In other places the sentence structure was just plain clunky. An example is “The man nodded to them, then pushed back his chair and headed straight for the door, his two other men hurrying after him, both glowering at Harrison.” Overall, from a RUBY winning author, I really expected a much better written story. That said, I did finish the book so there were obviously enough hooks to keep me going and perhaps this story will work better for other readers.

This was such an entertaining story! I did like the main characters of Aimee and Harrison. How Aimee thought it would work changing places with her quieter cousin, I don’t know. Aimee was much more outspokenly and used to ordering people about. She certainly wasn’t afraid to go after what she wanted and that was to help run her father’s shipping empire. Harrison is a self made man and determined to get what he wants. Work dominates his thoughts so that he can achieve his goal. Although, Aimee and Harrison didn’t get on at first, the more they spend time together so their attraction grows. However, Harrison is determined not to love anyone due to his background and if Aimee does marry it will only be for love. There is a mystery to solve and some danger but this all added to my interest. This story move along at a good pace and I thoroughly enjoy it. I received a copy and have voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

3.75 stars. This was an entertaining romance story with a surprise twist. Think Bridgerton meets Prince and the Pauper.

A million-dollar heiress switches places with her illegitimate cousin so her cousin experiences high society while the heiress gets to work for her father's successful business empire. There were moments where the business talk disinterested me, or there were repetitive discussions over marriage, but overall the descriptions and commentary between characters was great.

The romance between Aimee and Harrison was enjoyable. Their banter was funny and yes, there are some spicy scenes. I also really like that we read from both Harrison's and Aimee's POV. Without spoiling anything, I really enjoyed the conflict/subplot towards the end of the book. It was very high-risk and I was fully absorbed by the situation.

Thank you to Entangled Publishing, NetGalley, and Maddison Michaels for the eARC. This is my honest review.

American heiress looking to make an impact in her father’s business while her father and mother are pushing for her to maintain the standard role of heiress. Princess meets unconventional Earl who doesn’t want to marry either.

The plot kept me intrigued throughout the entire story. Plot twist of additional family member was unexpected. Love story was well written. Loved the women empowerment!

Thank you to the author and publishers for offering me the opportunity to read this ARC.

Thank you @entangled_publishing for my complimentary copy. My thoughts are my own.

This was an enjoyable read with likable characters and all of the elements that make historical romances so much fun to read.

Aimee wants nothing more than to one day take control of her multi-millionaire father’s company. So when her parents send her, along with her cousin, to London with the hopes that she will snare an earl, Aimee jumps on the opportunity to swap identities with her cousin. Her cousin will attend the balls, wear the beautiful gowns, and meet lots of eligible bachelors (book 1 in this series) while Amy will go work at her father’s company. She hopes to prove to her father that she is quite capable of working in his business.

Aimee meets Harrison Stone on her first day in London and it doesn’t take long for them to butt heads. Both are quite stubborn! Meanwhile there is a dangerous scheme underhand to ruin the business. When the schemer takes note of Aimee’s true identity, Aimee is in immediate danger.

With a kidnapping plot, a murder, a dangerous rescue, a few stolen steamy moments, and a strong female main character, this one has a great storyline and it kept me engaged! I highly recommend this for lovers of historical romance.

Absolutely lovely read! I loved the first book (which is a companion to this book) and so I was excited to read this book about Aimee and Harrison. They are the epitome of enemies to lovers. From the moment they meet they butt heads. Of course the growing attraction between them is not so subtle and can’t be ignored.

Aimee really has a wake up call when she switches with her cousin Evie and takes on the role of trainee secretary so she can learn about her father’s company and prove to her father she has what it takes to be in the business profession. Aimee’s privilege does show (I totally get the whole sharing bath water ick) but I love how she is willing to put in the hard work and has a strong determination to prove herself. Harrison is a bit grumpy and doesn’t really have time to deal with his feelings toward her but finds the time anyways. They equally work together and fight but are actually really solid couple.

I really enjoyed the resolution to the conflict and the ending to super cute. Definitely excited for the next read which I assume is about Sam. I’m loving this series so far!

*Received via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*

Wow! I absolutely loved this book. Amazing characters and wonderful plot. Very beautifully written and easy to read.

Aimee Thornton-Jones is a New York heiress. She doesn’t want to be another “dollar princess“ like her mother wants. To ship her off to England to marry some lord. She begs her cousin to swap places with her. Aimee will work as a trainee at her father’s company and prove to everyone that she is better than any son.

Harrison Stone doesn’t know what to make of Aimee. She’s hiding something and she is reckless. He wants to fire her and kiss her. Dangerous combination. With the company under threat of sabotage, he is determined to find out who she is. I loved their chemistry and passion. They were made for each other.

Overall I loved this book very much. If you’re looking for a historical, workplace romance then you’re going to love it.

This is a new author to me and I really enjoyed this fresh and unique historical romance! This is book 2 in a series and I do feel like I was missing some things since I did not read book 1. But the chemistry, banter, and plot were all really well done and I still had an enjoyable time with this one.

Our heroine is an American who si sure her mother will ship off to England to find a suitable husband with her fortune, but she has no interest in that. Instead she wants to switch places with her cousin at her father's business and work.

Our hero is her father's protege and he is not too thrilled about our heroine coming into the business and putting her safety at risk.

They are at odds at first but soon enough end up working to uncover a mystery that may save her father's business.

I really enjoyed this for the most part, at times I did feel like the mystery took front stage and the romance was pushed to the background.

I received an ARC for review

Hot arguments, prickly banters and sparks flying every darn chapter! Gotta love this.

I am told the book one is better than this and I cannot imagine that. Because I have not read it, but I love this book. Aimee and Harrison are a constant contrary joy to read about, their banter ridiculously flirty and fiiiine. Perfect enemies to lovers where everyone is frustrated enough to pull the other one in kisses. And more.
Harrison is the down to business kinda Earl in waiting (lol loved that word). Handsome, driven but scared of losing a loved one.
He is going to get his majority in the company in Egland side , owned by none other than Aimee’s father in America.
Precisely for the reason even without seeing him ever Aimee hates the man who is like a son to her father. But she Wants to help run the company and nothing will stop her. So out, she goes to london and switches places with her cousin to learn about business in London office. Right where Harrison is the boss.

Oooh the sparksss :)

Add in Derringers, telegram takers, other secretaries, a German businessman, some caveman stuff, even a kidnapping, and it's a hell of an entertaining ride. Certainly going back to read book 1 and wait on Sam's story I hope that's book 😁

Thank you Entangled and Netgalley for thus great read!
