Heiress by Susan May Warren is like no other book I’ve read by her. Up until now I had only read her contemporary fiction which I absolutely LOVE! Now I am a fan of her historical fiction as well.
Susan May Warren takes the story of two sisters, Esme, the oldest, destined to marry for money instead of having a career as her heart desires, and Jinx the youngest who doesn’t understand why her sister wants to give up wealth and standing in society to pursue a career. We follow these two girls from Esme’s debut in society to adulthood. Seeing how their decisions early in life set them up for heartbreak and trouble the rest of their lives.
Heiress has it all, it has romance, mystery, action, and family drama. We see this girls go from frivolous young girls who blush at the mere smile from a boy, to grown women who ache for true love and companionship. Susan May Warren weaves words in a way that makes the characters come off the page and into your living room with you as if you were watching their lives take place instead of reading about it on the page. I can’t wait for book two of this three book series.
