A review by chandlerainsley
The Heiress Hunt by Joanna Shupe
2.0
what started out as a promising second chance childhood friends to lovers romance devolved quickly into a "sex solves all problems" story
which is incredibly disappointing because joanna shupe's writing is fun and accessible. i just couldn't be bothered to care for either maddie or harrison in any meaningful way.
the story is about harrison who returns to new york after an extended stay in paris. he initially left nyc after he overheard his childhood best friend and long time crush, maddie, say that she would only ever think of harrison as a friend. so he decides to bang broads abroad while also making time for wealth building since he's been disowned by his entire shitty family. maddie meanwhile is chillin and playing tennis & trying to bag a duke.
harrison comes back to nyc and attempts to seduce maddie. and then the second half of the book... kind of a trainwreck but i'm determined not to spoil it for those who are looking to pick this up. let's just say the story completely changed directions at 50% and any attempt at tension between maddie and harrison left the building. that, coupled with the "harrison tries to get revenge," story line kind of made this unsalvageable for me.
there's more i could say about the complete lack of character development or overly controlling hero but i'm bored just thinking about it.
