The Lady Tempts the Heir

The Gilded Age Heiresses, Book #3

by Harper St. George

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

Max Crenshaw has been summoned back to England for the third time… in the past it was over drama with his sisters and his parents matchmaking schemes… now his father is ill and has his sights set on his legacy. It’s Max’s turn to marry!

But Max isn’t going to just heed his father’s demands- he’s his own man and it’s a modern (Gilded) age! Solution: he will find a fake fiancée to cease his threats.

His sisters friend, whom he had a shared experience with, the widowed Lady Helena March would be perfect! Just what his father wants and bonus-she’s not interested in marriage either!

Ah, the old fake engagement! I suggest choosing someone you don’t actually like if you don’t want to end up married for real in the end!

I jest! Max and Helena make a perfect pairing… so perfect the only thing that seems to be keeping them from actually being engaged in truth is the long distanced nature of their respective homes (America & England)… But these star crossed lovers have more than just an ocean keeping them apart!

This was a beauty friends to lovers story that develops so naturally over the course of the book. Their chemistry was delicious and the emotional support they each provided was very touching. It was very easy to root for their HEA.

I really enjoyed this story and especially the ending. It could have gone cliché, but Harper St. George delivered a real and honest ending that suited these two perfectly!

The Lady Tempts the Heir by Harper St. George was released February 22nd, 2022.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Berkley Publishing Group through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Ellie-May is no stranger to public scorn, as the daughter of an outlaw , she knows what the Rangers accusations against her deceased husband will do to her family and children. For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms! This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me! ...
