REVIEW: Heiress’s Defiance by Lynn Raye Harris

Heiress’s Defiance by Lynn Raye Harris is the eighth installment in the Chatsfield series and can be easily read as a standalone. Lucilla Chatsfield wants her family’s dynasty back from Christos Giatrakos! She was not impressed when her father handed over the Chatsfield group of hotels to a stranger. It was,is and will always remain her birthright and she won’t let anybody take her position away from her, even the intensely arrogant and breathtakingly gorgeous Christos.

Christos finds the Chatsfield heiress highly amusing, until she raises the stakes — risking his reputation and forcing him to act! Lucilla will be taught a lesson, but to do this Christos must return to a home that almost destroyed him. However, facing his past will test him almost as much as the beautiful Lucilla…

I was desperately waiting for Christos and Lucilla’s story. The previous Chatsfield books built up an awesome anticipation regarding him and therefore I had really high expectations about this one. Needless to say I was not disappointed and loved every minute of this book.

The best thing about Heiress Defiance is the high intensity with which everything is portrayed. Be it the love scenes, the confrontations or even normal dialogue. Christos and Lucilla are both very strong characters in their own way. If you are expecting Christos to be an ultra dominating hero who takes away the focus from his presence and Lucilla to be a damsel in distress, innocent heroine who is completely dominated by the hero then you are going to be disappointed. Lucilla is no wilting flower or damsel in distress. She gives it back to Christos in equal measures and does not back away from him. She is strong heroine and an amazing sister to her siblings. Christos is a mystery because nobody knows much about him and he hides himself well for anyone to find out what he is really thinking. Lucilla uncovers him step by step and something new is revealed about him as the story progresses. The chemistry is hot ,intense and the romance is all about passion.

Overall, Heiress Defiance by Lynn Raye Harris is a must read for everyone who like strong characters and intense romance.
