THis book goes back and forth from now and the past. It is about a house on the coast of Maine. Many things throughout the years have been happening in this house. In the now Sonya MacTavish never knew about this house or her family there until she inherits it. THis book was awesome reading about the things that bump inthe night and the day.

THis book held my interest, It does end in a cliff hanger, I am excited to read the next one in this series.

I love Nora Roberts books and this one did not disappoint. It is the first of a trilogy and like all books in a series she writes, I fall in love with the characters anxiously awaiting the next book!

This is a spooky ghost story with a good romance. I read this page-turner with anticipation and dread for anyone that tried to get married in that house! I really wanted to MC to be happy and for the spirits on the dead brides to rest in peace. It was a quick read and thoroughly enjoyable! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the free copy.

I absolutely loved this book!! I laughed and loved it! The characters and dogs make it great! I can’t wait for the next one to come out!!

Inheritance by Nora Roberts was one of my favorite reads last year!

Nora Roberts has been a favorite author of mine for years and years and I’ve loved following her writing journey. No matter what genre she takes on, her stories are wins for me, with well-researched and well-written plots, characters, settings, and norms.

Inheritance starts off her newest trilogy, The Lost Bride trilogy, about a family haunted for generations. Some of my favorite books of hers are the ones with magical realism and paranormal characters, and Inheritance has that, along with a little romance and a centuries-old mystery to solve.

The book is also a bit creepy, with spooky dreams about the tragedies of the past and odd happenings in the present. I’m normally not into creepy ghost books, but somehow Roberts makes it all work perfectly and I loved the whole book.

The next book in this trilogy, The Mirror, is out in the fall and I can’t wait!

I liked the story for the most part, but found the book too long. There were pages and pages of uninteresting dialogue, too many descriptions of Sonya's work projects and a romance that was less than satisfying.

I’ve always loved Nora Roberts and this book is no exception. The mystery, the Maine setting. I cannot wait for the next book in the series!

Oh wow, I don't know what I can say about this book that hasn't been told in the other reviews but I loved it! This book had me completely captivated from the Prologue to the final page. Great writing, well developed characters, and a ghost story that held my attention from beginning to end, and after that cliffhanger ending I can't wait to read the next book to find out what happens next. So, now I patiently wait for book two.

I am a huge fan of the ‘In Death’ series which Roberts publishes under the name J.D. Robb. She’s a really entertaining writer and I always enjoy her books, including The Inheritance, the first in a trilogy. However this one seemed formulaic and reminded me of how the In Death books are plotted. Smart, independent woman with family issues meets sexy, successful man. In both cases the woman moves from relative financial insecurity to sudden wealth. Roberts does a great job with the gothic elements, the friendly and unfriendly ghosts, and integrating the supernatural elements into the plot. I expect that the easy relationships Sonya establishes with her inherited family and their extended families will become more frayed and complicated in the next books in the trilogy. Things have gone very smoothly for Sonya so far given the immense changes she’s experienced. I’ll look forward to the next two. Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for an advance legally in exchange for an honest review.

MY REVIEW: DNF/Skim Finish

I love Nora Roberts so don’t take my "no star review" as anything personal. I’m sure I still love her old books and will probably love future books. The thing that’s happened to me is I’m changing my reading preferences. I can’t even really tell you what I’m going to love, like or not love any more.

I’ve fallen out with a lot of genres with too much cursing, Grimdark, young adult angst and smut or sexy times. Of course, I just don’t like certain characters. In this case, there are a few from my list.

I kinda wish this was just a full on haunted house book. Either way, I have no doubt Nora Roberts fans will love this book.

*I would like to thank Netgalley and publishing for a copy of this book.

Loved this romance book! The characters in this book were great they felt very realistic and were easy to connect with. Loved the romance plot of this book and the chemistry that the characters had between them! This books plot was easy to follow along to and enjoyable to read keeping you invested from start to end! Loved how the story progress and the combination between fantasy and gothic elements that the book had. The cliffhanger ending was amazing and has me so excited for book 2 to release! Definitely recommend if you have been looking for a story with a romance plot and fantasy and gothic elements intertwined.

Not my favorite of Nora Roberts. To me it was hard to follow and the main characters was not interested in the mysteries of the home. She accepted it and dealt almost too easily with the unexpected issues. It just seems a bit predictable to me. Unlike all of her other books this one did not catch my interest very well. Will continue to read her books but this one isn't my favorite for sure.

This is my third book written by Nora Robert’s and I really enjoyed it. Once again Nora has written fantastic characters that kept me interested until the end and the setting was intriguing. I will definitely recommend this book to all.

I could not get past the language used in the beginning chapters of this book. I find much of the attitudes toward the inciting incident outdated and problematic, placing most of the blame on the woman, and unfortunately could not get past it enough to continue reading

Right off the bat, let me say, beautiful cover. This story was haunting and captured me. Has such an old school Nora feel. I loved that. Overall, it was a great read, and I am okay with cliffhangers to a degree, but this was such and abrupt ending! I did love the way the women in this story were portrayed. strong, capable and the relationships between them was great

I’m pretty delayed on reviewing this ARC since it was published in November, but thanks to St. Martin’s Press and Netgalley for providing this. I’m not a big Nora Roberts reader historically but a few years ago discovered her Chronicles of the One series and loved it. On to the review…. Inheritance is the first in a new series, The Lost Bride Trilogy, and I really enjoyed it. It has the perfect mix of spooky, romance and feminism. Some of the characters’ reactions ring a bit untrue for me, but that willing suspension of disbelief is worth it in the end. Like all good series, book one ends on a super cliffhanger, so I’m looking forward to the next title! Definitely recommend this for those that like a scary, but not too frightening, story and anyone who’s a Nora Roberts reader already.

Oh my gosh! I didn't expect to get so deep into this book! I don't even think I read the description. I just fell in love with the cover. I can't wait for the next book in the trilogy!

Inheritance is the first book in the The Lost Bride Trilogy. Sonya is starting over after ending an engagement and leaving her job when an unexpected visitor tells her she has been left an inheritance by her father's twin brother. She is stunned by this news since her father has passed away and had no known siblings since he was adopted. She moves to Maine to live in the manor left to her for the required amount of time to inherit her inheritance and begins to learn about her father's strange family history. The manor holds secrets and is haunted and Sonya is invested in finding out how to end the curse that has plagued her father's family taking all of the brides away on their wedding days. I am looking forward to the second and third books in the series!

Inheritance by Nora Roberts is the first book in The Lost Bride Trilogy. Before going any further, I will say, if you don't like cliffhangers, then you might want to wait until the whole trilogy is published so you can read them one after another. Sonya MacTavish is shocked to find out that her late father had a twin he never knew about, and that this uncle, Collin Poole has recently died and left her almost everything, including a large Victorian Mansion on the Maine coast. In order to keep the home, she has to live there for three years. As a graphic artist, she can work from home, so she heads off to find out more about her father's newly found family. When she arrives she meets, Trey, a man who was like a son to her uncle. He tells her all about "the first lost bride" and the supposed curse on the house and family. As Sonya stays in the house, she realizes that she is sharing it with many ghosts, and that she has inherited the family curse. Can she and Trey solve the puzzle to rid the house and family of the curse?

I don't read a lot of paranormal, but this is Nora Roberts and I do enjoy her writing and stories. This was a gripping story, that I very much enjoyed. My one niggle with her books is the length and this was another long one. Could some of it been cut, maybe, but I enjoyed meeting the various characters, including the ghosts, and learning about the family history. There is some chills with one of the ghosts being evil and like a poltergeist. The others provide humor and made me smile. The house is definitely a wonderful setting and almost another character in the story. The secondary characters of Chloe, her best friend, her new boyfriend Trey and new cousin Owen all play important roles in the story and in Sonya's new life. I look forward to seeing them again and how they help her to solve the mystery. I need to know what is going to happen next, and am anticipating the next book in the series, The Mirror.

I only recently became a Nora Roberts fan, and Inheritance is another wonderful book by her. While I don't read a lot of series, this is the first book in her new Lost Bride trilogy and I'm beyond excited for the remaining books. This story left my awed and wanting more, and with a total cliffhanger. I loved how she blended romance, fantasy, and paranormal, along with some history, into this unique tale.

I am beyond excited for the next book in the series.

Thank you, St. Martins Press and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.
