A young heiress must disguise herself to attend a prestigious, all-male university, where she unexpectedly falls for her handsome tutor, in this swoony historical romance by the USA Today bestselling author of Queen Bee.

Lady Rosalin Chen isn’t as vapid as she pretends to be. She’s actually a computing genius and smarter than most of her peers in the ton. Not even her friends know that she’s been sabotaging her own chances to find a match in the marriage mart.

She’s in want of a proper education, not a husband. So while her cousin is gallivanting around Europe, she decides to take his place at Cambridge University. How hard could it be to act like a gentleman, after all?

The only boy who could possibly see through her disguise is her tutor—sharp-eyed math prodigy Tarik St. Clair. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to hide who she really is. Even if Lady Rosalin decided to come clean, can love ever be part of the equation once the truth is factored in?

Rebel Heiress is the third and final book in THE DIAMONDS series. After three seasons out in the ton, Lady Rosalin Chen is told she must marry. However, when her cousin, Lord Ansel Chen, decides to go on a secret grand tour of the world, Rosalin can’t help disguising herself as him and attend his college classes instead. Her tutor is the mathematical genius, Tarik St. Clair, and it is love at first sight for her. The only problem is he thinks she is a boy, and he’s not rich.
I have never imagined science and math to be swoon-worthy subjects, but Amalie Howard does a fantastic job making them a love language for Tarik and Rosalin. Drawing from other historical figures who were women in education or women in secret, the author does a nice job grounding this book in the plausible yet fun premise.
The epilogue at the end does a nice job giving everyone featured throughout this series closure.
The audiobook narrator does a nice job overall, bringing this love match to life. My only critique is the deepening of her voice for the male parts, and Rosalin’s alter ego didn’t help make it feel believable that the character could have fooled everyone pretending to be a man.
Overall, this is a nice conclusion to the series and a nice romp into an idealized past. The search for love and for female agency is nicely balanced in these historical romances.
