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.

Disappointed in the ending

The book was good but the ending stunk. I wish they could have adopted a child or gotten pregnant. It makes no sense that the author didn’t build in a solution to the challenges they faced. While not all situations have happy endings, when I read a book, I’m looking for an escape from reality. The ending did not provide that. I’m sure the author was well-intended, but the ending was a huge let down for me.

Ending was anticlimactic

It had promise of a good love story but it had little substance and too much inner angst. It needed more humour rather than two people constantly motivated to irritate the other as it watching the other person get angry made them appealing. Too long and then ended suddenly. Poor epilogue meant to sell another book rather than bring closure to this story.
