An Heiress to Remember

The Gilded Age Girls Club

by Maya Rodale

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

The final book in the Gilded Age Girls Club series, An Heiress to Remember ends the series with pizzazz! The glitz and glamour are at their true height as dulling department store owners, Beatrice Goodwin and Wes Dalton fight for top billing. Underlying the business competition is the fact that they have a history. Beatrice and Dalton were sweethearts when she was 18 and he worked as a clerk in her fathers’ department store. Beatrice leaves him to marry a Duke, the Knickerbocker dream. Divorced and 16 years later she returns to Manhattan to find the department store, her legacy in shambles and their biggest competitor across the street, her former flame! Thankfully the feminist activist group, The Ladies of Liberty Club has sought her out to offer their assistance as she brings down the patriarchy.

This second chance, lovers to enemies to lovers story is heavily focused on Beatrice and her work and feminist view, but I thought the romance still held true. This story could have gone off the rails, but the hero, Dalton was always supportive and fair- never did he lie or cheat to gain his goals, even though he and Beatrice were business rivals.

This was a solid end to an absolutely delightful series that focused on women coming into their own and still being able to enjoy love and companionship. True modern sentiment.

An Heiress to Remember by Maya Rodale is scheduled to release March 31st, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from HarperCollins Publishers, Avon Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
