A review by gypsydawn
Heir by Tate James

5.0

Browsing through my Kindle, I realized I somehow left this little gem unread from the time I bought it at release. A thorough reread of Book 1 & 2 prepped me to dive in - and reminded me of all the reasons I love Tate James. This book takes the tumultuous events of the series and narrows them down to a pinpoint plot - one that offers a HEA, though it's obvious the players will have to work hard to get to a full respite.

Secrets are revealed, identities discovered, friendships firmed and romances - no matter how rocky - are solidified. It's an exciting addition to the series and perfect in its execution, mainly because it focuses on what's really important, glossing over the superfluous non-entities that have dominated the narrative. The King is important.... or is he? Is he, and his actions the true driving force of this story? If you are anything like me, you'll smile as the last page draws near, content that the spotlight went where is should, while hinting at future troubles too small to put on THIS page.

And Sage! Loved to hate her, and now I just love her. Read the Author's note at the end, it gives clues as to the next breakaway story in this world, with our favorite Princess and her flashing swords. Now THAT is a tale. can't wait to get my hands on!

My Final Verdict on Heir



A satisfying end to a wonderful, though sometimes predictable, fantasy Reverse Harem. There were enough surprises to keep the reader on their toes and flipping through pages and enough heat to galvanize the scenes along. Fun and well done, with a door open for future adventures.
