Nicholas plans to fulfill his responsibilities with military precision.Penelope recently finished finishing school and plans to live out her days alone or to marry for love. She's in for a surprise when she meets the new Duke of Blackborne. The two quickly are at odds, but can they come together when they discover a web of greed and deceit?
The Heiress is more light-hearted than Laura Beers's regency spy series, The Beckett Series. The story was a fun, enjoyable story that I could easily read and I found it relaxing. The characters were interesting and I really enjoyed the side characters as well. I could see Beers easily making stories for each the side characters. The personalities of the characters were easily distinguishable, different, and really came alive in the story. I could tell that the Beers had fun writing the characters and scenes. It really came through in her writing and descriptions. Penelope is a little bit of a troublemaker, but in a good way. I liked that Penelope was a strong female character who wanted to get involved with her own life and the things around her. Nicholas came off a little like the prince in "Beauty and the Beast" fairy tale. He was very gruff, stern and a little broken. He needed Penelope to help him find happiness in his life again. It's something that I would recommend reading. The Heiress is part of Miss Belle's Finishing School series. The series follows graduates of the finishing school and is written by several different authors. The Heiress is book 2 of the series. The other books in the series are as follows:
- The Governess by Elizabeth Johns
- The Beauty by Rebecca Connolly
- The Spinster by Bree Wolf
The Heiress kindle version is only $1.99 and the paperback is only $7.99 on Amazon. To buy a copy today, click here.
