I was very disappointed by this book. E. Stanley Jones is a favorite author of mine. This book was obviously written by an 87 year old man within an editor. It not only has typos, misuse of words, but in many places it is reduntant. There are gems buried in this poorly written book, but most of them have already appeared in The Word Become Flesh.Having great confidence in Jones I ordered three copies knowing I would want to pass them along to my friends. Anyone want a free copy?

It took too long to get the main characters together. Once you started to read the book you could tell right away who the lovers would be and it just too long to get the two together. Also, there wasn't enough parts where he would come to her rescue or she would come to hers. But, there was excellent discription of everything from what everyone was wearing to what the lovers felt when they looked at eachother. Jude has an excellent ability to discribe everything without overdoing it and making it boring.

I have read so many romance novels and can say that this is still one of my very favorites! I have read it a couple of times over the years. I would like to echo what others have said here that this is one of her best works and absolutely worth your time and money! The characters are well developed and their romance is both lively and endearing. You will not want to put this one down.

I got this book because I love all of Judes book and as soon as I opened the page I was enraptured with it. Axia is a girl that was never let out of her house and her only campianion was tode her friend and the other campionion her beatiful vain cousin Frances. Axia meets Jamie when he climbs over the wall to get a look at Frances whom he mistakens for the Maiden Hall hERISS. Axia lets him belive what he will and the whole story takes from there. I found this book to be one of Judes best and I hope you do to!

It took me a month to finish this book! Usually I am more than willing to stay up all night to finish a Jude Deveraux book. (I LOVED "Rememberance"!!!) For every few pages from "The Heiress" that I was able to make myself read, I would put the book down and take a few days break. The book was hard for me to get interested in, but I forced myself to finish it because it was a Jude Deveraux book. I think the surprise ending made up for the rest of the book, but I would not recommend getting this just for that. Do yourself a favor and borrow it from the library. You'll satisfy your curiosity without feeling stupid about paying for this book.

This is a wonderful book, in one word, I'd have to say cute, the sassy characters are great. This book combines a perfect amount of laughter, love, exitement, and even tears. Through the whole book is fun and adventure, the reluctant heiress, Axia, determined to enjoy her freedom, is the perfect character to make the most enjoyable romance novel imaginable
