Book Review: ‘A Caribbean Heiress: A Novel’ By Adriana Herrera

A Caribbean Heiress may be the best romance novel of the year. It has everything and more you want in this kind of novel. A really well-written story with romance and hot steamy sex (you may need a cold shower after reading) and a couple you root for the second they meet. A perfect book for the beach, lake or just chilling out as the summer starts. It’s 1889 and Luz Alana (a beautiful black woman) is heading to Paris for the Exposition Universelle, where she will try to sell her Rum to european markets. Being black and a woman works against her. She’s from Santo Domingo and is then headed to Scotland to try and claim her inheritance from her late father. She meets the Earl Of Darnick, known as Evan at the expo and there’s an immediate spark. He has a whiskey he is selling and he’s based out of Scotland as well. It doesn’t hurt that he’s a hot Scot. They start hanging out and fall for each other (neither want to admit it). Evan soon proposes a business marriage for the two of them to help accomplish what they each need legally being married. It’s suppose to last 3 months but you know how these things go and when plans come to an end, the quesiton is can they admit their true feelings for each other?
