The Lady Tempts an Heir

Gilded Age Heiresses, Book 3

By: Harper St. George

Narrated by: Justine Eyre

Tall, dark, and brooding - to say that American Maxwell Crenshaw stood out in the glittering ballrooms of London is an understatement. He vowed never to set foot in England again, but when a summons from his father along with an ultimatum to secure his legacy has him crossing the Atlantic for the last time, reuniting him with the delectable Lady Helena March, he can't deny the temptation she presents. Or the ideas she inspires....

Lady Helena March is flirting with scandal. Instead of spending her time at teas and balls in search of another husband, as is expected of a young widow, Helena pours her energy into The London Home for Young Women. But Society gives no quarter to unmarried radicals who associate with illegitimate children and fallen women, and Helena's funding is almost run out. So when the sinfully seductive Crenshaw heir suggests a fake engagement to save them both - him from an unwanted marriage and her from scorn and financial ruin - Helena finds herself too fascinated to refuse the sexy American.

Contains mature themes.

Heart warming and frustrated all in one.

I loved the characters so very much. The ending was a disappointment. It makes me peeved because my heart was waiting for something better at end what a let down.

Her best

She was a new author to me. I could not put this down. Buying the series.

Yawn

Little frustrated with myself that I actually finished this series despite the lackluster first and second books. Th chemistry was lacking. Neither of the lead characters was believable in their respective business/charitable passions. The family never got its comeuppance. Everything just sort of worked out without any actual conflict or much in the way of sacrifice.

Boring

Boring! I only made it to chapter 4. All everybody did in this book was talk business. They all bore me to tears.

3.0

This was not one of my favorites of the series. The FMC was written pretty stiffly and only somewhat likable. The MMC seemed pretty weak as far as strong men type from that era. Hoping the next installment renews my attention. I did like the inclusion of previous characters.
