Free Nook book, I think.
This book is not too bad a read, but it's a little slow, the characters a little bit two-dimensional, and the story doesn't tie up any loose ends. It's properly titled, though —the big focus of the story is Fanny's inheritance, about which some of her relatives are not very happy, particularly her uncle who feels that he should have gotten her share. He spends the entire book plotting to get that money from her somehow so he can pay off his debts — his biggest strategy in...more

This is a great story; romantic, clean, and heartwarming.
The setting of the book was so important to the plot, that it was a little jarring when the setting completely changed. I felt like I didn't know the characters (except Jonas) outside of Broadmore Island and somehow I expected them to be different off the island.
This book made me think a lot about social classes. Classes must exist if anyone wants to experience something nice or luxurious. For example, the wealthy can only have a fancy par...more

Plot line to steal the inheritance from her by Uncle Jonas was extremely hokey. This novel had potential, but the unrealistic plot scheming made it a bit pathetic.
"A Daughter's Inheritance" Book One in The Broadmoor Legacy series written by Tracie Peterson and Judith Miller has been released in audiobook format by Oasis Audio and this is a winner. There is a reason why children love to hear stories read to them by their parents and they enjoy the reading even more when the parent uses voices to identify the characters; it makes the reading much more enjoyable. And while we may grow taller we never outgrow the love of having stories told to us in voices an...more

When the grandfather died he left Fanny her father's share of the estate and her uncle as her guardian...more

This is a tale of greed...how much will one man do to get the money that is due to his neice. I have never been made of money or had more then I know what to do with so getting the intend is hard for me personally. I do like reading of the balls and fancy dressed, long dinners and the correct manners of a young women of the day. There are three cousins that have a diffrent station in life and it's fun to see their point of view and the world through their eyes. We have Fanny who orphaned and rai...more
Free download for nook. I forgot to review this when I finished it a week or so ago, but I can say this: It was extremely frustrating thinking I would get some closure on the heroine's love story, and then not getting it. I know it is part of a trilogy, each of which focuses on one of a trio of female cousins. I figured each book would somewhat bring closure to the main character, but that was not so, at least for this first one. Also, it appears that the plotline of the scheming uncle trying to...more
Extremely "light" Christian historical fiction. I really skimmed this book after the first 200 pages. While I was interested in the story, I just could not stand any more descriptions of the women's fine frocks and extravagent parties. I really would have liked to read more factual details about this period in American history.
I know that the author intended to focus on the greed of the era, but it was just "too much" for me.

I didn't realize this was the first in a series when I downloaded it as a Kindle freebie (I really need to do better research). However, even had I known it was part of a series I would have expected more resolution to the plot than what the novel provides. There is basically no closure, which I found extremely frustrating, especially since the book dragged on a bit but I kept reading to find out how it ended. The shifts in point of view were annoying, as there was often little to signal the shi...more

I didn't really like this book very much. The characters are all pretty shallow... and I wasn't able to get into the plot very well. Her villainous uncle doesn't turn out half so villainous as he could, and the main character's love interest it... *gulp* rather stereotypical. The plot it one of the seven original plots of the world – the rich heiress falls in love with one of the servants, her uncle interferes… blah, blah, blah.

No wonder the story moved along so slowly; it's part of a series!
I picked this up when it was offered as a free nook book. Not utterly captivating by any means, but it is a simple story that I found fairly interesting. This does not read as a stand alone book whatsoever.
The characters have a Christian background, but not so much so it is a major part of the story. I also was expecting a little more scheming and plotting based on the description.

The ending definitely was abrupt for me, but I guess we'd all simply had enough of Uncle Jonas and his antics. What a complete jerk!
I like the three cousins a lot and wish the book had even more scenes with the three of them; very sweet interactions between the girls.
I do feel sorry for the fops, but at least they got a free mini-vacation out of Uncle Jonas.

This book is meant to be read as part of the trilogy as nothing is actually resolved at the end of the book. There is a lot of expected aspects to the novel. You come to expect the way God is on hand for the good guys in Peterson’s novels so despite the coincidence of Michael meeting the religious miner (although still a bit hard to swallow), you let it go to move the story along. The history and research was well done, however at times it is long-winded and drawn out.

Money means a great deal to people. A young woman, named Fanny, inherits a great amount of money from her grandfather. Her Uncle Jonas is very displeased that she has inherited such money. He goes through many lengths to get this money without her knowing. Fanny finds love but comes to find out she may not be able to have this man. Tracie Peterson and Judith Miller’s A Daughters Inheritance captured my interest throughout the whole book.

From the start of this book it has reminded me a lot of Luxe by Anna Godberson who wrote books set in the similar time frame. This book was a freebie I picked up on kindle download last year and have finally got around to reading it. It's set in Rochester new York where my family are currently living, but so far I haven't recognised any of the areas they are referring to in the book. Set with a back drop of society events and marriages for financial gain, this book centres on Fanny and her life...more

A Daughter's Inheritance by Tracie Peterson & Judith Miller
I snagged this as a Kindle freebie a while back. And I'm very glad I did!
A Daughter's Inheritance is the story of the Broadmoor family, specifically we focus on Fanny Broadmoor. Fanny tragically lost both of her parents and has been in the guardianship of her beloved grandfather ever since. She is very close with her cousins, Sophie and Amanda Broadmoor, and when their grandfather dies things change drastically.

As the first novel in a series, this is something that I am extremely eager to continue to the next novels. Many times if there is a series where questions are left unanswered for the next novels they are abrupt and annoying in their wait for answers. With this novel I find I have anticipation for the next book in the series, but I'm not left on a ledge in annoyance. I'm glad I've already purchased the second book, and received the third for a review - I cannot wait to read them.

This is a first book in a series about 3 cousins. I really wanted to like this book. It had some fun plot twists and interesting characters. The frustrating part for me was that this book was listed as a romance. There was very little romance in the book and the relationship was not resolved at the end of the book. The 2nd book is written from a different character's perspective and is taking a different storyline. I would have liked this book better if it had a little more resolve.
This book too enough of my time. The plot was drawn out and never seemed to come to a head. Franny is a young girl who has lost her parents and was being raised by her grandparents. With her grandfather's death she is left with her father's share of the estate and in the guardianship of her uncle. It is obvious that she has feelings for Michael who is a servant of her family. Her uncle does not want her to inherit any money and is trying to figure out a way to ensure she never sees any of the mo...more
Fanny Broadmoor is a young woman enjoying life on the Thousand Islands on her grandparents estate. Both of her parents had passed away she is under the care of her widowed grandfather, but when he passes away she becomes a ward of her uncle, who is determined to take Fanny’s inheritance from her. Fanny, unaware of any trouble is enjoying time with her two cousins Amanda and Sophie and all that the island has to offer.
I started this book thinking that this story was a first in a series, but that it was a stand-alone. It is not. The trilogy is sequential and if you don't know that before hand, like me, you would be very disappointed by the ending of this book!! That being said, I thought it was a good start- there were lots of points of view, so that was confusing, but it was a good introduction to the second book, which I enjoyed the most.
It sharted out pretty good but the last half of the book was drawn out and uneventful even though there was a lot going on. It took a long time to get through this book and I don't think I would have finished it if I hadn't listened to the audiobook. I wouldn't really recommend it and I probably won't read the next in the series even though the book really leaves you hanging.
I really liked this book. I didn't like how the book left you hanging with all sorts of questions. Thankfully I had the 2nd book waiting in the wings & I could just pick it p & move on. It still leaves the question of Fanny & Michael but now I can hardly wait for the 3rd book to come my way. Trying to find the title of it though. hum.....................
Nice just about sums this book up. Good-ish storyline, okay characters, nice setting, but nothing that really stood out to me. There was an awful lot of dialogue, and not much art in the writing, which meant that the story got a little stodgy in places.
Still, I'm going to read book two to find out what happens. ; )

I didn't like the way this book ended ... it seemed very abrupt, and there is no "happy ending" for the main character. I'm sure the authors have done this so you'll read the next book(s) in the series, but from what I have gathered so far, the remaining two books in the series will focus on Fanny's two cousins (Sophie and Amanda)and Fanny's story will (hopefully) be finished up, but in the background of the other two. I would have rather gotten a happy ending to Fanny's story and then had littl...more
Again-purchased at a church rummage sale--bought on the basis of what I read on the cover-hopeful that it wouldn't be trashy, boring. I wasn't disappointed. Evidently it is a series and this just happened to be the first. I do hope that the next one picks up where this one left off... A good find!
I was interested in the characters, however was very disappointed when the book ended on a to be continued note. It is the first in a series, but NONE of the conflict was resolved leaving me feeling like the trials for the heroin will never end. Debating on reading the others in the series.
