Inheritance
is the first in The Lost Bride Trilogy by #1 New York Times bestselling
author Nora Roberts—a tale of tragedies, loves found and lost, and a family
haunted for generations.
1806: Astrid Poole sits in her bridal clothes, overwhelmed with happiness.
But before her marriage can be consummated, she is murdered, and the circle of
gold torn from her finger. Her last words are a promise to Collin never to
leave him…
Graphic designer Sonya MacTavish is stunned to learn that her late father had a
twin he never knew about—and that her newly discovered uncle, Collin Poole, has
left her almost everything he owned, including a majestic Victorian house on
the Maine coast, which the will stipulates she must live in it for at least
three years. Her engagement recently broken, she sets off to find out why the
boys were separated at birth—and why it was all kept secret until a genealogy
website brought it to light.
Trey, the young lawyer who greets her at the sprawling clifftop manor, notes
Sonya’s unease—and acknowledges that yes, the place is haunted… but just a
little. Sure enough, Sonya finds objects moved and music playing out of
nowhere. She sees a painting by her father inexplicably hanging in her deceased
uncle’s office, and a portrait of a woman named Astrid, whom the lawyer refers
to as “the first lost bride.” It’s becoming clear that Sonya has inherited far
more than a house. She has inherited a centuries-old curse, and a puzzle to be
solved if there is any hope of breaking it…

– ☆☆☆☆
This is the first book in a trilogy, and it definitely leaves you wanting more
– and quickly! So cliffhanger haters, be warned!
I love the layering of this story, and the time travel dreams which soon cause
the heroine, Sonya, to wonder just what she has stepped into!
We meet her dissolving her relationship and leaving her job due to an
unfaithful and vindictive fiancé. She is then catapulted into a new life, as an
heiress of a haunted mansion in Maine, with a decision to stay man free
seriously challenged by the arrival of the rather wonderful Trey.
As she tries to rebuild her career, and understand the somewhat cryptic
messages and frightening dreams of her inheritance, we travel with her in this
unexpected change of direction of her life – finding out more about her
father's family is intriguing for sure. I loved that once her best friend Cleo
came to visit, she decided to also move and support her in this adventure –
always good to have a friend by one's side when things go really weird!
Expect lots of gothic drama and modern-day romance in this very engaging and
page turning story... I just need book two and soon!
