An Heiress at Heart Love Grace Jennifer Delamere 9781455518937 Books Reviews

I'd like to chat with the writer of this book. How she came up with the premise she puts forth might be a fascinating story in itself. I don't usually recount the plot of the books in my reviews. That's a job better left to the people selling the stories. I give my opinion about the story and characters. Lizzie Poole is an interesting character. She comes on scene as a fairly feeble female, weakened by influenza. But she is not a weak female. Her quest to find the family she never knew she had, and her rather extreme efforts to keep a promise to a dying friend is complicated by her attraction to a 'brother-in-law' the English law of her day says she can never marry, no matter what her feelings are.

This book is intelligently written. Some problems kept it from getting 5 stars The 'hero' waffles in a less than heroic manner. He loves her, he hates her, he loves her, he's appalled--he can't seem to make up his mind. Then there are all these people presumed dead who keep popping up alive in the oddest places at the most inconvenient times. All in all, the story is engaging. The characters are people you can care for, for the most part. Though in the end, when everyone but the hero and heroine professes to have known about the deceptions all along, well, that seems a bit of a stretch! Still, this is a reasonably priced offering well worth checking out. Get it and see what you think.
In the past, Lizzie Poole had mistaken infatuation for true love, and the trust she had put in Freddie turned out to be foolish when he deserts her in Europe to return to his family and marry another or lose his inheritance. Her brother rescues her after dueling with Freddie, and the two Pooles flee to Australia. When her dying, look-alike friend makes her promise to return to England to take her place in an elite family, Lizzie never imagines what a tangled mess she will instigate.

Geoffrey Somerville was a third son and became a clergyman, never expecting to inherit his father's title. However, when his two older brothers die, that's exactly what happens. He never understood why his middle brother had eloped with his older brother's fiancée either. After all, duty, responsibility, and family should always come before some notion of love. Yet, when Lizzie comes home pertending to be the middle brother's widow, he's drawn to her in ways he can't explain. As their relationship blossoms, he begins to realize love is more powerful than he ever imagined, and he just might throw all his duty to the side to marry this lady. The complications of the situation impede that possibility, however.

This was a compelling story, clean in the way it's written and the content. I had only two criticisms. The faith thread needed to have been a stronger part of the story, and the ending seemed rushed. Although it ends well, additional paragraphs, where Lizzie at least answered Geoffrey's question would have made it better.
Lizzie Poole's sole romantic indiscretion nearly destroyed her, cloaking her reputation in shame and forcing both her and her brother Tom to flee Europe for Australia following an ill-fated duel. Determined to live a blameless life henceforward, Lizzie never expected to find a woman in the wilds of Australia who might hold the key to her past. Ria shares an eerily similar face and form to Lizzie, so much so that when the two women begin comparing childhood reminscences they become convinced that they are half-sisters -- Lizzie the illegitmate offspring of Ria's nobleman father's affair with a servant.

The years pass and tragedy strikes -- and on her deathbed Ria extracts from Lizzie a radical promise that will change her life forever. She begs Lizzie to return to London as Ria, make amends with her estranged grandmother, the formidable Lady Thornborough, and in so doing reclaim the birthright denied her by the stain of illegitimacy. With nothing to keep her in Australia, and a burning desire to discover the truth about her parentage, Lizzie agrees. Arriving in London as Ria, Lizzie finds herself captivated by her would-be family's kindness and acceptance. The one thing she didn't anticipate were her blossoming feelings for Lord Geoffrey Somerville -- Ria's, and now her own, brother-in-law -- and as such, the one man forbidden to her by law. When a man from Lizzie's past threatens to destroy her by unmasking her scandal-ridden past, Lizzie must decide if she is brave enough to reveal the truth of her identity -- at the risk of destroying her relationship with her new family, and with Geoffrey, forever.

When An Heiress at Heart was released last fall, it caught my attention as being the sole inspy mass market release from Hatchette's Forever imprint. As such, I have to wonder if its trim size and release were perhaps overlooked by many members of its potential target audience. In a mass market-sized novel of this ilk I never expected to find a story as sparkling and well-developed as any trade-length romance. This is a remarkably assured debut that should mark Delamere as a rising star in the genre.

From the opening pages of Lizzie's story I was captivated by its unique setting and premise. In my reading experience, the Victorian time period is often overlooked in favor of the earlier Regency, and to incorporate Australia and its reputation as something of a haven for the lawless -- or, as in Lizzie and Tom's case, those fleeing the law -- adds a refreshing dash of exotic color to the setting.

Delamere's characters are wonderfully realized, springing to vibrant life on the page. While Lizzie's assumption of Ria's identity is pure soap opera, such a trope has a rich literary tradition (i.e., Dumas's The Man in the Iron Mask), and as such can be wildly entertaining. I loved her tasteful, yet unflinchingly honest portrayal of Lizzie's unsavory past -- she is very much a fallen woman by the standards of the day -- a refreshingly honest portrayal of the emotional consequences of sin and the glory of forgiveness and redemption. Likewise Geoffrey is a multi-faceted hero, one in the unique position in "drawing room" romances of this type who was first a vicar, until tragedy forced him to assume the family title and its responsibilities. His abrupt change in circumstances provide a nice, organic opportunity for an examination of the tension between duty and desire, and legalism and grace.

An Heiress at Heart was a delightful surprise. It is no stretch to state that it is one of the strongest inspy romance debuts I've had the pleasure of reading recently. Delamere displays a commendable aptitude for pacing, characterization, and a knack for incorporating relevant historical data (here, the wonders of the Great Exhibition and the Crystal Palace, and the Victorian penchant for social reform) that deftly enriches the storyline. Peopling her world with colorful supporting players (I can only hope that Ria's cousin James takes center stage in a subsequent story!), Lizzie and Geoffrey's is a sweetly realized romance threaded with grace and a dash of gritty adventure that leaves me eager to read more of Delamere's work!
