The Hesitant Heiress

The Hesitant Heiress (Everstone Chronicles #1) After being unjustly expelled from the Boston Conservatory of Music, Amaryllis Brigham sees her dreams of founding a music academy disappearing before her very eyes. Now the only way to achieve her goal comes with high stakes for someone set on avoiding men as much as possible: marry within the year to inherit her grandmother’s fortune. Amaryllis reluctantly takes part in her aunt’s society, intent on getting to the west coast on her own… and without a husband. Despite her own misgivings, she soon finds herself falling in love with the most unlikely of men, Nathan Everstone, whose father not only had a part in her expulsion, but whose ominous presence has haunted her dreams for a decade since her mother’s tragic death. Nathan turns out to be much more than he seems and everything she never knew she wanted. But just as everything Amaryllis has recently hoped for comes to fruition, it all falls apart when she finds that the real culprit who has been managing her life isn't who she thought at all. My review This was an interesting story. I didn't love it, but I certainly liked it. I do look forward to reading the stories of the other characters in the story when their books are released. For some reason, the beginning just didn't draw me in totally, but the end is very good the way Dawn wraps everything up with a couple of twists and turns. The last couple of chapters were my favorite part! If you like historical fiction, I'd give this one a try. :) "I was given an Advance Reader Copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review."
