Featured Book and Review: The Forgotten Heiress



A forgotten heiress inherits a crumpling empire… as she struggles to protect herself from the ruthless billionaire who is seeking to salvage it 
Raised by a guardian in Ireland, Olivia Grey is shocked when the secret details of her birth are leaked to the media as she tried to come to terms with the unexpected death of her father. Drawn into her estranged family, the shy and reclusive clothing designer finds her way through the media spotlight, an imploding empire and the expectations of the elite New York financial world. 
Fionn Lynch is a hot, obscenely wealthy math genius with a razor sharp business mind who seeks out Olivia to squash the media speculation around the family. Olivia is more of a challenge than he expected and he has to change his game plan to save the company he helped to build. 

Review


As a writer and reader of contemporary romance, this genre is near and dear to my own heart and I am particular about the books I enjoy.  When I picked up a copy of The Forgotten Heiress by debut author Susie Warren, I wasn't sure what to expect. I can honestly say that I was not disappointed.

Both Olivia Grey and Fionn Lynch are well developed, believable characters. They display a vast array of emotions, that help draw the reader into the story and keep them wanting to know what happens to these people. Will Olivia come to terms with the legacy left behind by her father? Will she be accepted by her step mother and step brother? Will Fionn save the company he has worked so hard to build? Can people from two different backgrounds make it? In addition to the wonderful characters,  Ms. Warren does an excellent job of balancing just enough drama and romance to keep the story moving along with out leaving out anything important.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys contemporary romance.  5 Stars.

Finally A Book Review Again: Audacious




It has been a long time since I posted a book review on my blog. That isn't because I have not read some great books, but rather because I have been short on time.  Anyway, I finished Audacious in May and felt compelled to write a review, so here it is.


As many of you may know I have always been a lover of history and romance, so I was immediately drawn to this novel.  Set at the dawn of the American Revolution, Ellen Gullo weaves a complex story of duty, loyalty and love. She uses believable characters to portray the struggles the American colonists must have gone through on the eve of War. At the same time she weaves a beautiful love story between two strong individuals, Brock and Charlotte, who must come to terms with events of their past and their present in order for their love to endure.

I recommend this book to anyone who loves either historical fiction or historical romance. Overall I give it a Five Star Rating.

This book is available at
Amazon
Barnes and Noble
