The Heir by Grace Burrowes

4.0

3.5
Gayle and Anna are interesting, well-developed characters. Their romance is sweet and had me cheering for their HEA. The secondary characters added to the story and the various subplots. I love when a story includes family members that show different sides to the character – which we have in this story. We get to see each of the main characters via relationships with various family members.

Both the romance and the mystery subplots are interesting and compelling. The way in which each story was wrapped up worked for me, fitting the story and characters. I found the story relatively easy to read and at times very compelling.

For me there were times when the story dragged, both in terms of plot and scenes. The mystery plot wasn’t built out enough before it became a main part of the story for me.
