This Chick Read: Inheritance (The Lost Bride Trilogy #1) by Nora Roberts

Sonya MacTavish is stunned to learn that her father, who was adopted at birth, had a twin brother. His twin owned a magnificent home in Maine that he left to her when she died, the caveat being that she’d need to live in it for three years before inheriting. After finding her fianceé in bed with her cousin, Sonya didn’t have any problem with starting fresh in Maine. When Sonya arrives in Maine and meets Trey, the youngest lawyer in the firm that handled her uncle’s will, he admits to her that the manor is just a little bit haunted and sure enough Sonya hears music, finds her things moved around, and the kitchen magically cleaned. She also finds a painting by her uncle of his bride who died on their wedding day, and starts having dreams of other brides who died as well.

I always enjoy Nora Roberts writing. She is so consistent and her pace is easy to read and comforting to read. This novel, Inheritance, was just as enjoyable as many I’ve read in the past but there was something that stuck with me after I was done reading. Maybe it was the ghostly tales, or the romance between Sonya and Trey? I’m not sure, but I thought about this book for a long while after I was finished and really wished that I’d read it when books 2 and 3 were available for me to dive into immediately. Regardless of that lack, I so enjoyed this novel!

Who doesn’t want to inherit a fabulous old manor and a little bit of cash? Especially after breaking off a relationship with a deadbeat fianceé? Sonya was up for the challenge but she is a realist and needed her best friend with magical Louisiana roots to become her roommate and help her get to know her new ghostly friends.. and enemies. Sonya’s adventures while getting to know who each of these ghosts were added to the fun of reading this story as each reveal added another piece to the puzzle. Her attraction to Trey who basically grew up in that manor visiting her uncle made this book even more attractive to me. Handsome hero, mysterious inheritance, getting to know your new family? Check, check, and check! This book kept ticking all of my boxes.

If you’re a fan of Nora Roberts, then you are going to love this book. I think most anyone will find this an enjoyable read but there are always those one or two who don’t like popular stories just to be difficult. Maybe even those difficult readers will like this book. I thought it was a lot of fun, had a great romance, but even more importantly the story about Sonya and her family was the heart of the story. I really couldn’t put it down once I picked this one up. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for an honest review and it was honest.
