The Lady Tempts an Heir (The Gilded Age Heiresses, #3)

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

A fake engagement brings together a lady with bold and daring dreams, and the heir whose heart she captured—perfect for fans of Bridgerton! Tall, dark, and brooding—to say that American Maxwell Crenshaw stood out in the glittering ballrooms of London, is an understatement. He vowed never to set foot in England again, but when a summons from his father, along with an ultimatum to secure his legacy, has him crossing the Atlantic for the last time, reuniting him with the delectable Lady Helena March, he can’t deny the temptation she presents. Or the ideas she inspires... Lady Helena March is flirting with scandal. Instead of spending her time at teas and balls in search of another husband, as is expected of a young widow, Helena pours her energy into The London Home for Young Women. But Society gives no quarter to unmarried radicals who associate with illegitimate children and fallen women, and Helena’s funding is almost run out. So when the sinfully seductive Crenshaw heir suggests a fake engagement to save them both—him from an unwanted marriage and her from scorn and financial ruin—Helena finds herself too fascinated to refuse the sexy American. As their arrangement of convenience melts oh so deliciously into nights of passion, their deception starts to become real. But if Max knew the true reason Helena can never remarry, he wouldn’t look at her with such heat in his eyes. Or might the Crenshaw heir be willing to do whatever it takes to win the one woman he’s never been able to forget...

    Thank you so much to Berkley and Netgalley for providing an e-arc of this. All thoughts and opinions are still my own.

    I was so excited for this addition of this series!! I adored Max in the previous books and was so excited to his HEA with Helena.

    This book took me awhile to get on board. This book somewhat relies on the fact that the main characters had chemistry and history in during the plot of book 2. And because of that I struggled to connect to buy into their romance. But this got me in the end and I was invested!

    This story, like the previous ones, had so many amazing themes. It discusses gender roles, the working class, and the way the upper class treated everyone around them. It was so difficult to read at times because of how terribly people were talked about and treated. But I loved that the author addressed some of these darker topics about this time period.

    This is mildly spoilery but I still want to mention it -
    I was so nervous when it was reveled that Helena was infertile. I've read so (SO) many books that handled this theme poorly. But it was fantastic in here. So thank you to Harper St. George for this rep
