The Heiress's First Date

The Heiress Merger #3

by Evie Croft

Paris on a private jet? Check. Three impossibly hot billionaires fighting for my attention? Double check. My anxiety threatening to ruin everything? Oh, you better believe it.

Last week, I was just trying to survive a bachelorette auction I didn't want to participate in. Now I'm juggling the affections of my reformed nemesis, my longtime crush, and my best friend turned surprise suitor. And let me tell you, their idea of a "casual first date" involves crossing international borders.

When Alex suggests whisking me away to the City of Love, how could I say no? Between toe-curling kisses under the Eiffel Tower and nights that would make even French romance novelists blush, I'm starting to think I could get used to this whole dating-multiple-men thing.

But my mother's determined to ruin everything (as usual). I'm keeping a secret that could destroy all the trust our Fab Foursome has built. And because my life isn't complicated enough already, my best friend drops a bombshell that changes everything.

About the author

Evie Croft's favorite trope is found family, followed closely by friends to lovers. As the author of The Heiress Merger, she writes heroines who get everything they deserve — and then some. She lives lakeside, believes most problems can be solved with a group chat (or a glass of wine), and writes the kind of chemistry that makes you fan yourself in public. A known enabler who has never met an ice cream she didn't like, she makes no apologies for melted hearts or socks. Keep appropriate beverages on hand.

Ok now we’re cooking… but seriously, it’s still not concluded?!? And waiting 6 months for the next installment will just have me lose interest.

Guess I’ll just make up my own conclusions…

G and K FINALLY connecting
A discovers the mom killed the grandpa
The mom was lying about the will
G buys out the company
They merge all the companies.
K and A elope and G and K decide to go their way.
K finally learns she doesn’t have to swallow all her future babies ALL THE TIME 🤢

There. Easy peasy.

A fabulous romp

I've just devoured all three books in quick succession, and adored every minute.
Such a clever storyline and it was interestingly amusing to see how these four started to integrate, both physically and emotionally. Can't wait for book four to see them all come together as a family. Ummm and what's occurring between Lucinda and Tyler!!!??

I like where the story is going. It is still a little odd for me to read a book that only contains a few days of the story. Still enough things are happening to keep the flow going.

"Moan" (uh...me!) - so much Love in Paris

Katie-bird flies off to date one of her three love-interests in Paris, taking in all the romance and the art of love across the big pond. Meanwhile, back home, there is a flood of new relationship dynamics that still my heart. Claustrophobia and cuddles never mixed so well.

A certain mother-figure makes us imagine an unfortunate tumble down an elevator shaft... maybe in the next episode? *smirk* Looking forward to finding out.

Great book 3

A great continuation of Katherine, Alex, Gabe and Kingston story of falling into their polyamorous relationship. This part is mainly about Katherine and Alex going on their date, but what happens between Gabe and Kingston could change this for all of them. All the feels and good spice 😁🔥🔥

I’ve been hsnging out for each new instalment…

I stumbled upon this first book in the series, and ate it up quick as a flash.. each next book has had me in a firm grip, can’t wait for the next one.

Again with the slowest of slow burns but in a bit of a different fashion. Ma’am how could you end the book with that last paragraph???!!! And this time the next book isn’t out so I have to wait for Katherine’s reaction??? Screaming in impatience!

I love the continuation of this story and the direction it’s going! I’m excited to see how Kingston and Gabe move forward especially.

Ok

This is entirely too long. It's been less than 2 weeks in the span of 3 books...there's no need for 4 freaking books.

[Suzy100]

I hit 50% and decided I couldn’t even skim read the last half of this. Will not be finishing the series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Now that I am on a roll, I did enjoy this one from the get go, I know where the storyline is going and it no longer seems to matter that I didn’t read book 1. It was a quick easy read, we continue to read about the development of their relationships. It's still very spicy, 🌶️🌶️🌶️ there is some tension and drama and angst.
Each of these books only covers a short period of time, but overall a good continuation of timeline.
So far this series has been an enjoyable read.
I enjoy the banter between the characters.
The lighter and heavier sides of the story.
I was happy with where things were heading at the end of this book.
