Loyal Heir by Michelle Heard
3.0
Loyal Heir is the story of Forest Reyes and Aria Chargill, who are best friends first and maybe more later...
Warning: The books in this series feel the best when read in order.
Synopsis:
Aria is a girl who has boys falling all over her, boys she doesn't want. After a bad breakup in the past, she has lost interest as well as confidence in herself and whether she will ever find true love.
Forest is faced with the danger of a rumour spreading due to his current no-dating phase in life, especially since he broke up with his one and only love, who went away. That is when these best friends forever think of posing as a fake couple to shut everyone up, but what happens when those feelings get real…
Review:
One word I would use to describe [a:Michelle Heard|18108320|Michelle Heard|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1581582191p2/18108320.jpg]'s writing is that it is addictive. This was an okay read for me but that doesn't mean I could let go of it.
Forest is the younger brother of Fallon, whose story we read in the previous book, [b:Defiant Heir|56344809|Defiant Heir (The Heirs #3)|Michelle Heard|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1608448069l/56344809._SY75_.jpg|73462997]. And Aria is the younger sister of Hunter, the protagonist from Book One, [b:Coldhearted Heir|51887064|Coldhearted Heir (The Heirs #1)|Michelle Heard|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1594819229l/51887064._SY75_.jpg|73462996]. It's time for the youngsters to start at Trinity Academy.
Loyal Heir is Forest and Aria's fake to a real love story. It's the classic 'best friend not wanting to risk their friendship for love' story.
It was hilarious to see someone else having fun due to a fake relationship between the protagonists. In this case, it was Carla Reyes, Forest's cousin. But then, as their fake or not so fake relationship progresses, Aria's past starts to unfold. A past from which stem her insecurities about herself, a bad relationship that crumbled her confidence in herself.
I sometimes wondered what the exact catch was because the story was pretty staid. There are only two situations that bring a spark to the story. One, when Forest's ex is introduced and two when the sweetest fake couple ever is caught up in events, not of their own making. Otherwise, the story is very wholesome, but with minimum conflict.
Aria is an art student, a promising one, and I loved the way her character is shaped up, especially the parts revolving around her art. The main takeaway from the entire series, though, is the close bond the entire group shares with each other. And I am going to repeat that in every book's review! Because I can never get enough of this group of friends who are like family, and who are really a family in some cases.
Thank you to Candi Kane PR for an e-ARC of the book.
P.S. My reviews of the books in the series is as follows:
Coldhearted Heir | Arrogant Heir | Defiant Heir | Loyal Heir | Callous Heir | Sinful Heir | Tempted Heir | Forbidden Heir
