REVIEW: An Heir For the Billionaire by Terry Towers
28yo hotel banquet server sees her old high-school sweetheart 29yo Hero during their 10-year high school reunion. Hero gets straight to the point about why he wants to see her again. But it takes him a little longer to inform her about his cancer diagnosis & why it’s important for him to settle things with her now. Are his emotional declarations long-lasting or are they merely part of his cancer scare? How does heroine respond to his sudden return into her life?
I’m a fan of Towers & this book reminds me why. Towers blends steamy content with quality emotional pull that gives the romance that extra edge. I should’ve really rated this book less because heroine reunited with Hero too easily & quickly, after he dumped her for his career 10 years before & dashed her hopes & dreams. But Towers managed to somehow convince me that heroine’s forgiving nature & maturity & Hero’s life evaluation & desperation was good enough reasons to get these two back together so quickly. I believed Hero’s apology as heart-felt. Heroine’s forgiveness was quick but sincere as well. These two had 10 years to grow & realize some things they wanted in their life. And things they regretted. There are no big misunderstandings & they were pretty unified in their relationship. Hero’s cancer diagnosis & treatment were the complications of the story. They had a genuine romance with explicit sexual content that served to heighten their feelings for each other. The epilogue helped give us a good idea that their future together was solid.
Recommended.
