The Inconvenient Heiress (The Spinsters of Inverley Book 1) Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
In the quiet seaside town of Inverley, nothing exciting ever happens to gently bred spinsters like Miss Arabella Seton. Content with her watercolor paintings and her cats, she is confident that no one suspects her forbidden and unrequited passion for her best friend, Caroline.

The eldest in a family of six children, Miss Caroline Reeve has the unenviable task of shepherding her siblings into adulthood with little coin and even less patience. The only benefit to being an eternal chaperone is that no one ever expects her to marry.

When the Reeve family inherits an unexpected fortune, Caroline must take her rightful place in high society. Fortune hunters abound, and it is up to Arabella to save her from their snares and convince her that love has been in front of her all along.

Can the heiress and the spinster discover an unconventional love outside of the Marriage Mart?

5.0 out of 5 stars It will change your mind about historical fictions

I don't typically read historical romances but this story changed my mind. Arabella and Caroline are life long friends until they become more. Throw in siblings, family dynamics, new found wealth and you have a humdinger. This was a fabulous read and the author captured the essence of the 19th century woman.

4.0 out of 5 stars Get lost in the past and be happy to be in their future
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2022
A lovely historical sapphic tale of famine to fortune, a dash of debutants and suitors, and a sweet HEA that made me smile. I'm a fan of this author and have read many of her works. This is a softer style of writing- nothing jarring or too unwholesome. I did think there was a lack of passion between the MC's- I needed a little bit more dialogue or chemistry initiating moments between them that solidified their love, but still a sweet read.

It murders my spirit reading historical fics when I am reminded of the the oppressiveness of society toward women and am very glad to be living in the present.

I loved the epilogue. The entire concept made me smile and laugh- it was the quintessential cherry on top of an enjoyable read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Read
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2022
I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.

Arabella is artist who longs to be independence and to be with her best friend Caroline who is task to watch out for her siblings. Caroline is shock when she learns of inheritance that belong to her father now she thrust into the world society. Arabella is there for Caroline to help make sure she won’t be taking advantage of all the while tries to get Caroline to see they are made for each other.

I enjoy this read and how author describe the gorgeous seaside setting of their small English town and the longing between Arabella and Caroline was well played.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slow burn sapphic romance
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2022
Caroline is relieved when her brother inherits a title and a fortune. Now, she no longer has to scrimp to manage her family's finances. Instead, she can turn her attention to courting her best friend, painter Arabella.

I loved the relationship between Caro and Arabella. It's a slow burn, with both characters hesitant to to jeopardize their friendship by pushing the romance too far.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
