Summary: Disapointed .
Review: I found the heroine and the hero so immature. Plus the "beautiful gal" totally obnoxious. There was no growth for the character and the other major people just sat back and just watched to see how their lives would work out. I found it VERY difficult to finish the book.

Summary: The Heir did not inherit positive comments from me
Review: The Heir was probably the worst novel Lindsey has written. I'm not a 'die-hard' Lindsey fan, but I must confess that my 'favorite novel list' contain several novels written by her, and I do find her books more than tolerable. However, the Heir did not inherit neither the romance nor action usually associated with Lindsey's earlier novels. Actually, it was so 'boring' that I had to literally force myself to finish the novel. The hero and heroine were 'weak' characters and the menace, 'dear old' Ophelia was obnoxious and dizzy, oh well, as she was written to be. The hero's uncles were just plain 'stupid', the heroines two aunts reminded me of the two aunts in 'Arsenic and Old Lace', and the month long 'search for a bride' party became blase'. After reading The Heir, I decided to read a good old fashioned classical romance to appreciate the fine art of writing. Happy Reading!

Summary: Johanna Lindsey is Back and Different
Review: I have been an avid fan of Ms. Lindsey for years. I have each and every one of her books and am always anxiously awaiting the next one. I had been very disappointed with her last few books and was not expecting much from this new one. Boy, was I wrong! I loved this book. The characters, particularly the secondary ones, were endearing, and the protagonists were lovely. I like this new and different perspective from Johanna Lindsey. The main characters did not tear each other apart with words, but fell in love talking! Though I would have liked to see more passion, I was not disappointed with the passion in the book and I found myself seduced by the growing love between Sabrina and Duncan. All in all, I'd say that this was Lindsey's best novel of her last 3. I reccommend it wholeheartedly!

Summary: spent money on the hardback
Review: sigh. Having enjoyed Johanna Lindsey's books for a long time, I was excited to see the Heir come out. I have noticed, like a few reviewers before me, that he latest book have lacked the flair that her earlier books have had. I am actually a bit depressed to spent the money on the hardback version, which I rarely do with books unless I know the author well. I found it to be a sweet story, but it just didn't keep my interest that well. It is all right if you are looking for a sweet story about two friends falling in love (more like it happens in real life, which is great in real life, but that isn't why I read romance novels....), this is for you. If you are looking for the sensual passion found in Ms. Lindsey's earlier works, you will, more likely than not, be dissapointed.

Summary: There is something in "the air"
Review: OK, bad pun. I liked this book to a degree, but I felt a strange distance to it--been feeling that a lot with several of my favorite authors. It's like there's a wall between me and the characters--a writer friend says it's because there's too much telling of the story and not showing it. I think I agree with that. I felt like I was just an outside observer as opposed to one of the characters.

Summary: Goodie but not Oldie
Review: I will agree that this is not classic Johanna Lindsey, but when has she ever stayed the same? Her style, characters, everything is constantly changing. That is one of the reasons she is so good. The Heir has friends falling in love, not something anyone has ever done well. I think these two work as a couple. I also liked that she concetrated more on the humor than suspense or minor characters. Johanna will always be the queen of romance.

Summary: A delightful escape!
Review: "The Heir," by Johanna Lindsey, is an enjoyable and lighthearted romance due to the witty interplay between the cast. Though the story line remains inside sub-genre guidelines, the enchanting characters, both main and secondary, turn the novel into a pleasurable reading experience. The rapid dueling dialogue between Duncan and Sabrina is simply enchanting while Ophelia's efforts as a matchmaker adds a delightful amusing element to the novel. What I found so enjoyable about the book was that even though it was predictable in its conclusion the journey to get there was a delightful escape in the romance reading experience.

Summary: Not so great
Review: I only gave the book three stars because Lindsey is the author. It was a significant dissapointment to see a book of such low calibur come from such a phenominal author. Johanna seems to have veered away from the style of writing that has made her so popular. The character's were fleshed out well enough but there was no real spark between them. Certain parts of the book were good and I really enjoyed the secondary characters. I put the book down one day two weeks ago to go get some tea. Yesterday I realized I hadnt picked it up since.

Summary: The Heir
Review: This book was much better than the Joining--although I feel it falls short of Ms. Lindsey's usual pizzaz. Her last three books have been a little disappointing.It's hard for me to see where where the two characters fall in love.There just doesn't seem to be any chemistry. I'm still waiting for Jeremy's story, and of course the other Anderson brothers.

Summary: Average
Review: Johanna Lindsey is my favorite author, but I was disappointed in this book. I thought the 2 main characters were lacking in passion and there was no real excitement in their romance. I feel Sabrina would have been better paired off with Rafe. The kidnapping made no real sense. I did enjoy Sabrina's character,especially when she got mad and the 2 grandfathers, also the aunts were funny. I hope the next book is up the Lindseys usual standards.
