My Review:
It was a really enjoyable read, romantic and passionate, very intriguing, the author was very good at capturing the reader's attention right from the prologue.
Rupert has just turned twenty-one years and is looking forward to starting his life as a bachelor. But his elder brother's wife has just given birth to their fifth daughter and he decides that Rupert will be his heir. He absolutely must get married. They manage to reach an agreement: he can marry at thirty, has nine years of freedom. When the deadline has come, he meets a very charming woman. Elizabeth is just come out of mourning and want to marry a simple and sweet man who is able to give her the family she so desires. Will she manages to turn Rupert in a perfect husband?
Rupert is a charming man with two beautiful blue eyes but is very stubborn and hates engage. Elizabeth is a smart and sweet woman, who loves tranquility and simplicity
Although it is the third book in the series "The heir and a spare" can be read as a standalone. I'm very curious to read the previous books to find out how the other couples known in this book were formed.
It 's a short and fast but very intense reading, to read in one breath.

EXCERPT:
Rupert straightened his coat with a quick tug and
straightened to his full six feet four inches tall. Feeling confident, he
walked over to the two ladies.
“May I beg you for an introduction to your friend, my dear
Charlotte?”
Charlotte smiled tightly, knowing his habits well. She
turned to include him in their circle, which surprised him a little, but his
friend’s sister did have the perfect manners.
“Of course, Rupert. Mrs Elizabeth Symmons, may I introduce a
friend of ours, the Hon. Rupert Willoughby, the younger brother of the Earl of
Sweeting”
Rupert heard the warning in the introduction and smirked
inwardly. Charlotte was fiercely protectively of those she loved. It was one of
the things he liked most about her.
The beautiful blonde curtseyed prettily and gave him a
sunny, open smile. Rupert bowed in return, surprised despite himself by the
artlessness of her expression.
“May I have the pleasure of the next dance my lady?” he
asked, giving her his most charming smile.
Elizabeth smiled back, glancing quickly at Charlotte for
permission to leave her alone, which Rupert respected. When Charlotte smiled back in return, the
beautiful woman turned to him.
“Of course. Thank you, sir,” she replied confidently,
placing her small hand in his.
She was very petite, tiny even, yet Rupert felt the firmness
of her grip and observed the way she held herself. This would not be a woman
over whom one could easily walk, he told himself.
“You are looking very beautiful this evening, Mrs Symmons.”
Rupert told her, as they swept into the dance floor.
Elizabeth laughed, her bright eyes sparkling with gaiety.
“Why, thank you, sir. And indeed, you are looking very
handsome.”
Rupert grinned, surprised by her words. He didn’t believe he
had ever had a compliment returned before. Most women simply fluttered their
fans and gave him the eyes. The eyes told him how flattered they were that he
had given them his attention. The eyes also indicated to him just how quickly
they would fall into his bed. Mrs Elizabeth Symmons wasn’t giving him the eyes,
nor was she flirting with him. How strange.
