REVIEW: The Black Sheep’s Inheritance by Maureen Child

In The Black Sheep’s Inheritance by Maureen Child, Sage Lassiter is furious to find out that his adoptive father left a fortune to his private nurse and cheated his own daughter of her rightful inheritance.He is sure Colleen Falkner is not the angelic nurse who deserves what she got and he is willing to go any lengths to expose her–even seduction.!

Sage doesn’t expect to find Colleen innocent when he unleashes his revenge plan to get close and expose her.But Colleen manages to surprise him by turning out to be someone who is beyond what Sage expected and also by demolishing all the barriers he’s carefully constructed around his heart.

The Black Sheep’s Inheritance kicks off the Dynasties: The Lassiters series.The romance is well written, fast paced and smooth moving majority of the times.To be honest,I am a little conflicted about the book because although it had an enjoyable story,I found it lacking in the intensity and conflict department.Sage is a nice guy who has made his billions without any help from his adoptive father.I could not think of him as a black sheep because he did not have any extreme faults to be called a black sheep.He uses seduction to expose Colleen but in the end gets trapped in his own game when he falls in love with her.Colleen is a likable heroine who has a sweet and innocent nature.The romance was easy going most of the times and though easy going is a good thing,I would have preferred some more conflicts.Sage’s sister,Angelica and her fiance,Evan McCain play an intriguing part in the story which makes me eager to read their story.

Overall,The Black Sheep’s Inheritance by Maureen Child is a well written easy going romance.Though it is lacking in intensity,it makes up for a good enjoyable read and sets the stage for the upcoming books.

Follow the money…into bed!

Estranged from his adoptive father, Sage Lassiter earned his own billions. But when J.D. Lassiter leaves a fortune to his private nurse in his will and cheats his own daughter of her rightful inheritance…Sage is enraged, to say the least. He’s sure nurse Colleen Falkner isn’t the innocent she appears. And he’s willing to go to any lengths to expose her…even seduction.

But using sex—crazed, incredible sex—to find out what she knows could backfire. Because Colleen is not what Sage expected. And like it or not, she’s about to demolish all the barriers he’s carefully constructed around his heart
