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.

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
