A review by luliriisi
The Heir by Grace Burrowes
2.0
I really struggled with this. I couldn't connect with either of the main characters. I can't believe I'm saying this, but there was way too much sex in the beginning. It would have been better if I'd seen the romance between Westhaven and Anna grow instead be thrown into lust straight away.
I also would have liked to know more about Anna's past sooner. It probably would've helped me get on board with her motivations for rejecting Westhaven's proposals (yes, plural).
The pacing was off as well. It felt like nothing nothing nothing then boom! Everything happened in the last third of the book.
There would have been more tension if we'd been introduced to Helmsley earlier and seen him plotting.
I also wasn't a fan of how heavily the book was in Westhaven's POV. Either have the whole book like that or have a better distribution of POVs throughout to keep it from getting lopsided.
I did quite like the side plot of Morgan and Val though.
Sooooo based on all of this, I'm probably not going to read anything more by this author unless I'm super stuck for reading material.
