The Heir by Grace Burrowes
5.0
Now THIS is a romance book
In sci-fi and fantasy, reviews often mention the author's world-building, the ability to create a complex and complete setting that makes the story all the more believable. With this book, Burrows captured my heart with her romance-building. The characters were robust and went through all the small and unglamorous dealings of getting to know each other, their personalities and their bodies, before becoming lovers. Yes, I'm saying the MCs made their way around the bases instead of throwing themselves headlong into home base. It was quite refreshing for me and, though the plot might have been hobbled in a place or two, the characters had endeared themselves to me enough that I looked past it with ease.
