The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is the story of Cam and Jules who go back to Cam’s birthplace in North Carolina. He is from the richest family with a notorious adoptive mother, Ruby, who has “lost” all four of her husbands to different accidents.
Cam has never wanted to go back but Ruby’s death and his cousins imploring finally bring the wedded couple back to Cam’s childhood home and, as expected, things unravel, secrets emerge and things are never what they seem.
While I enjoyed reading this story, I didn’t like Jules’ voice or the way she spoke. I wasn’t crazy about any of the characters and the revelations, when they happened, were interesting but because I just wasn’t invested in the characters, I found myself not caring too much.
It was a pleasant enough read, just not one of my favorites.
with gratitude to netgalley and St. Martin’s Press for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review
