Marie Lavender has a way with words and is a sensational
writer. This is book two of the Heiresses in Love series and in my
opinion she becomes better with each of her books. Our book continues
the story of the Hill family with this one about Gabriel, our hero. Our
heroine is Chloe Waverly, just orphaned by her father's death.
According to the attorney for her father she has just been betrothed to a
very cruel man. Having no other family other than her grandmother in
New Orleans she stows away on the La Voyageur owned by Gabriel's father.
The story is very strong filled with suspense and twists you just
won't see coming. Nothing is predictable and yet when love is involved
it is the only thing you can predict. At any moment Chloe was in danger
either from thugs trying to kidnap her or from losing her heart.
Gabriel had made up his mind that he was the owner of his fate but fate
has a mind of its own and he's in the same danger as Chloe. His
determination to protect and escort Chloe to the safety of her
grandmother is a responsibility that is very serious to him but Chloe in
relating her circumstances left out the part that she was running from
her finace and the finace was just as determined to have her back! The
best thing I liked about the story was the vivid characters, so well
developed and brought to life with the powerful descriptions. Of course
the story line was full of interesting people, places, mysterious plots
with surprising twists, romance, delicious seduction, but yet
fascinating with the play on all of the emotions. At times I was
crying, then laughing, upset with a fierce anger, totally surprised,
shocked, full of happiness or in complete despair and then cheering for
the good guys or girl but so completely drawn into the story that I read
the whole thing at one setting. I just could not stop reading even
though I really tried to so that I could get some sleep...it just kept
playing in my head and I finally gave up and was so glad I did! I'm
cheating a little on my review because part of this is the same thing I
said about book one "Upon Your Return" but it says what I feel so well
that I just have to repeat it. Both of these books are so good, not
just romance or sex, they are about love, seduction, suspense, fear,
happiness and put together so well and yet SO different! I can't wait
for book three. GREAT READ!
