Blog Tour: Heiress by Susan May Warren

They can buy anything they want—fame, power, beauty, even loyalty.

But they can’t buy love.

The beautiful and wealthy heiress daughters of August Price can buy everything their hearts desire. But what if their desire is to be loved, without an enormous price tag attached? When one sister betrays another for the sake of love, will she find happiness? And what happens when the other sets out across the still untamed frontier to find it—will she discover she’s left it behind in the glamorous world of the New York gilded society? What price will each woman pay for being an heiress?

Set in the opulent world of the Gilded Age, two women discover that being an heiress just might cost them everything they love.

My Review:
This is a rich story of love and betrayal, with many twists and turns that will keep the reader anxious to see what’s going to happen.

The setting is fabulous, with all the Regency period details, all the ball gowns and dog collars that you can imagine, but also with a real grittiness running beneath it. An underground current of deceit and unhappiness. Esme, dreaming of a life as a newspaper woman, cannot fathom being married to someone she doesn’t love, while Jinx, her sister, cannot imagine a life without the riches she’s grown up with. Both make choices, and both pay the price for those choices. We follow them in their lives as they struggle with their decisions and look for the love that continues to evade them. There are many tense chapters that leave the reader gasping as injustice and misfortune strike them both, but we, like them, look forward to seeing them succeed.

The characters themselves are well done, dynamic, full of life. Even Foster Worth, the quasi-villain, maintains a trace of humanity. Esme and Jinx are by turns amusing and frustrating, but we come to love them both. Phoebe suffers a bit, she doesn’t come across quite as real as the rest, since we can’t really understand her manipulations against her daughters.

This is a fun, fast-paced novel, and I can recommend it without issue.
