Reviews

[Phair · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really loved the first series about Cheney and was sorely disappointed by the first book following her marriage to Shiloh. Happily this one was a little better. There was a lot about medical practice in 1869 and about life in New York City at that time. Shiloh adopts two 'mutts' that turn out to be Irish Wolfhounds- I love that breed! Some good personal stories and many threads to carry into a next volume. A fair amount of religious content but overall it was still a good story

i felt like the set up dragged on and on and the end was rather hurried and forced. i like the new butler and dogs... they are great additions to the family.

Cheney and Shiloh return to New York. Cheney is buried in being a doctor and Shiloh is running a very successful Winslow Brothers Shipping Company. Although they love each other deeply, they find themselves drifting apart, separated by their careers. Another great read.

Good read.

A lot of description at first. Skimmed a lot in the beginning, but it got a lot better later on in the book.

Ready for chapter 17.

I enjoy reading book about characters I love after their "happily ever after"

[Ashley Kelley · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good story but a little too telling. The tension builds but there is no mystery--everything is spelled out for the reader and predictable. Shiloh as always is wonderful but maybe a little too perfect in this installment. In other books in the series he at least has flaws in this one...it all seems to fall on Cheney. That's a little disappointing. Still, the characters are ones you have come to love so worth the read.

[Holli Olmos · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book. All of the Cheney Duvall books had an air of mystery and excitement that kept high drama levels. But this one by far was the best with an old house and murder that Cheney and Shiloh have to figure out with their medical expertise and the townsfolk with grave backgrounds. It was fun and as always educational to the time period.

[Karen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although the first book in "The Inheritance" series was a bit confusing to me, now that I am getting to know the characters a bit better -- this book was much more enjoyable. I liked the hospital setting as opposed to the sea-ship setting in the first book. Ready for the last book in the trilogy and more intrigue with the many personalities that surround this family.

Good clean. Appropriate for young teens.

[Connie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Enjoyed another book about Cheney and Shiloh--wish that there were more than three books in this series.

[Tessa Palmeri aka Tonya Preece · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love this series! I'm re-reading it with my preteen daughter (who reads at a college freshman level according to a reading and comprehension diagnostic).

[Sadie VanderKodde · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not my favorite, because we don't get to see Cheney and Shiloh interact nearly as much as I like, and the hospital drama becomes a bit tiresome after a while.

[Bear · Rating 1 out of 5]

I was hoping it would get better. It didn't.

[Kim · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved re-reading this old favorite. The Cheny DuVall series is one of my all time favorites. Her character paired with Shiloh Irons is such a good love story combined with the story of their grown spiritually is my favorite types of stories.
