The way I loved this newest historical fiction from fav author Chanel Cleeton is indescribable!! Full of romance, mystery, revenge and based on real events. Fans of Titanic esque stories with strong female characters and con artist stories DO NOT want to miss this one.

It was also great on audio narrated by Frankie Corzo and Rachel L. Jacobs. Many thanks to NetGalley and @prhaudio for early complimentary copies in exchange for my honest review! Chanel Cleeton has knocked it out of the park with this one!

Chanel Cheeton sure knows how to write a book, but only when it is about the lives of the Perez sisters. Her books that central around other historical events are just sub par. Only gave this book 3 stars because I like the author. But holy predictability…

Chanel Cleeton delivers an absolute gem with "The Cuban Heiress," a captivating historical novel that transports readers to the thrilling world of a luxury cruise in 1934. Inspired by the true story of the SS Morro Castle, Cleeton weaves a mesmerizing tale of two women whose pasts collide in a fight for survival aboard the ship. Packed with suspense, romance, and historical flair, this page-turner is a testament to Cleeton's exceptional storytelling prowess.

Cleeton's vivid and evocative prose paints a rich backdrop, immersing readers in the vibrant atmosphere of 1930s Havana. The historical setting is meticulously researched, lending authenticity and depth to the narrative. The author's attention to detail shines through, capturing the glamour and allure of the era while highlighting the social and political undercurrents that permeate the story.

"The Cuban Heiress" is propelled by a cast of complex and engaging characters who leap off the pages. Catherine and Elena, both strong-willed and determined in their own ways, command attention and evoke empathy from readers as they navigate treacherous waters in search of justice and redemption. Their stories are intertwined seamlessly, creating a riveting tapestry of resilience and empowerment. Prepare to be transported and enthralled from beginning to end.

This was my first Chanel Cleeton read and it definitely won't be my last. A great read for the summer!

Thank you to the publisher & Netgalley for my advanced copy in exchange for an honest review!
