Oh. My. Goodness. I have been a Susan May Warren fan from the very first book that I read of hers but this one is beyond them all. Heiress<\/strong><\/em> just confirms to me that Susan may be one of the most versatile authors I’ve read. From sweet romance to humor to intense suspense to gripping historical novels, everything this author has written has made me want more. I made myself wait to read Heiress<\/strong><\/em> until my earlier review obligations were met and can say it was definitely worth the wait.<\/p>\n A story that begins in New York City during what is known as “The Gilded Age”, Heiress<\/strong><\/em> features sisters Esme and Jinx, daughters of a prominent newspaper publisher. In a world filled with glamorous clothing and fabulous balls, it is their duty to marry well and enhance the family’s position in society. Jinx eagerly awaits her chance to participate in the societal rituals involved in finding a husband. Unfortunately she must wait until older sister Esme has married before her father will allow it – and Esme has no desire to marry the man chosen for her. At this juncture, choices are made by both young women that will affect their lives forever.<\/p>\n The story takes the reader from the mansions of New York to a small frontier town in Montana and spans over a decade in time. A dramatic and emotional tale, the plot is filled with unexpected twists. Just when things seem to be the most hopeless, something will happen that brings light. On the other hand, just when you think one of the women will finally find happiness, something else will happen that will set her back. This is one book that will keep the reader in suspense until the very end because there is absolutely NO way to guess how everything will be resolved.<\/p>\n Heiress<\/strong><\/em> is a bold story that touches on some ugly facts of life such as rebellion, adultery, domestic abuse, lies, and betrayal. It illustrates how a person without Christ can be held prisoner by success, wealth, and power. It is ultimately a powerful account of the potential high cost one must pay for choices made.<\/p>\n This book was provided for review by LitFuse Publicity.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/strong><\/p>\n But they can\u2019t buy love.<\/p>\n The beautiful and wealthy heiress daughters of August Price can buy everything their hearts desire.
