In this delightfully enchanting first book in Megan Frampton’s new series, Heirs and Spares, opposites attract when a devilish lord and a rule-following young lady from rival families find themselves inexplicably drawn to one another. Perfect for fans of Sarah MacLean and Julia Quinn!
One Night He Cannot Forget…
Lord Lucian Blackwood, second son of the Duke of Waxford, has assumed all the responsibilities of a spare, meaning it is his duty to seduce all the women, win vast sums at gaming, and appear gorgeously clothed for any occasion. He doesn’t expect his friend’s wedding to be any different—but then he meets, and kisses, her. Even more delicious is that she is the daughter of his rigid father’s longtime enemy…and now Lucian and Lady Diantha are tasked with working together on a project that will heal the rift.
One Night She Can’t Help but Remember…
Lady Diantha Courtenay always does the right thing. She wears the proper clothes, she speaks to the right people, she smiles exactly the right amount. When she attends her friend’s wedding, however, she sees a gentleman who makes her want to do all the wrong things. With him. The next morning, she is appalled, and sets herself back on course to being the most proper young lady, relieved she now has a family project to focus on. She thought she was safe from that other Diantha until she realizes she’ll be working with him.

Kissy face
Tryst lists will include museums thanks to Megan Frampton’s The Devil’s Charm, first in the Heirs & Spares series!
Lady Diantha Courtenay and Lord Lucian Eldridge’s meet-cute escalated real quick! I enjoyed that they have different personalities. He was seen as a rake however kind and misunderstood. She was serious however hiding a sensual side. What makes this story better was their parents were enemies, yet they were forced by duty and desire!
This was a well-paced and low angst book. We can enjoy the character development, the plot twist, the anticipation of meeting for dates, and the kissing sessions.
I also enjoyed the secondary characters! The Courtenays were made of eccentric, serious, and middling family members. We can feel the love, irritation, and support. And, I love the message that family doesn’t have to be biological, it could be our own friends!
If you enjoy “love” at first sight, opposites attract, close proximity, found family, nefarious agreements, and amazingly capable women standing up for what’s best, then I highly recommend this book!
Thank you to Net Galley, Avon, and Harper Voyager US for the ARC in exchange for a honest review.
