The Lost Heiress

Such a delightful book! Lots of details and plenty of drama. If you love sweeping historical dramas, with past tragedy and murder and missing cursed gemstones....well, I can't say enough good about this tale. It absorbed me all the way from beginning to end. Now I am so eager for book two to be published, though I dread the wait for book three. Especially since we know that the last remaining conspirator is just waiting to strike again!

I loved Brook and I loved Justin and I loved Whitby. And the supporting characters, from Dierdre right down to Aunt Mary, who faints when she pleases...well, all of them are so well drawn that they seem very real. I kept thinking things were going to happen...like perhaps Whitby really wasn't her father, or perhaps she and Justin were going to quarrel, or perhaps she would come to grief on the powerful stallion Oscuro and not get to learn to drive, or that her cousins would hate her and conspire against her because of the inheritance, or that Pratt will do his best to ruin her...well, some of it happens and some doesn't, and you'll just have to read the book to find out! Which is exactly what you ought to do!
