Review: The Heir by Sophia Travers
/About the Book
Two rival families. A marriage between their heirs. In public, it’s love. But in private? It’s war.
Aiden Prince is the arrogant heir to the old money family that destroyed mine. He’s hazel-eyed and sharp-jawed, the golden boy of high society.
I’m the girl who’s never belonged in his world.
At sixteen, I poured my soda on his loafers. He told me to lick it off.
At eighteen, I learned the truth—Aiden’s family took everything from mine. I vowed to make everyone who mocked us eat their words.
At thirty, I have the chance to get back everything Aiden’s family stole…but I have to marry Aiden to do it.
In public, we’re the perfect couple. But in private? We’re playing a dangerous game—the first one to desire the other loses.
I’ll never give an inch to Aiden…until I see who he is beneath his cold exterior.
He’ll do anything to protect me.
His touch sets me on fire.
His world doesn’t want me. My family doesn’t want him.
We promised to divorce once our deal is done…and we each lose everything if we fall in love.
Review
The Heir had so much potential, unfortunately, it did not live up to it. Truthfully, it fell flat, and I was bored. The Prince and Hunter families have a long-standing rivalry. The Prince family is labeled as being “good,” while the Hunter family is seen as being “bad.” I didn’t quite understand why the latter had been labeled as that.
The one thing that I did enjoy about this story was Aiden’s relationship with his siblings. He’s constantly advising that he wants to make sure they are okay and doing his best for them. That was one of his best qualities. Aiden and Emory have great moments—great banter and fun teasing; however, they are far in between and mostly toe the line of being unforgettable.
Final Thoughts
The Heir didn’t feel like a story centered on powerhouse families. It was much lighter than I expected, and the stakes felt low. I would have loved it if the characters and families were explored more, and there was a bit more drama.
