No, there is nothing even mildly apocalyptic about this book. Sorry. But
never mind that... If you enjoy reading the odd Historical Romance with a healthy
heat level then this book is for you.
Lady Jane Roxdale’s very crummy husband has just departed the world of
the living leaving her a wealthy woman. Unfortunately, Constantine Black, dead
hubby’s cousin and a dreadfully sexy rake to boot, has inherited the land and title
along with a nasty debt about to come due. Marrying the prim widow Jane is the
obvious answer, but nothing is ever easy in romance land. If it were, we
wouldn’t have much of a story on our hands now then, would we?
Heiress in Love has a cast of thoroughly likeable characters. I love a
series, there’s nothing more satisfying than knowing many of those engaging
secondary characters hovering on the fringes are going to find their HEA
sometime soon. I like that Jane and Constantine have layers, issues granting
them real reasons to fight their growing attraction. The boudoir scenes are
sensual and jam packed full of meaning for the two. There’s a generous dose of
wit and a dash of adventure when Jane finally steps up to save the day. I love
a Self-Rescuing Princess (not that she’s royalty but you get what I mean).
Book two in the series, Mad about the Earl, was released back in January
so you may dive in knowing full and well you already have access to the
continuing story. This, my friends, is ace.
