About the author
Anne Herries
285 books66 followersLINDA SOLE also writes under the names of Anne Herries, Emma Quincey, Lynn Granville and one as Juliana Linden.
Linda was born in Swindon. Her family moved to Ely in Cambridgeshire when she was nine, and Linda attended the local school but left at fifteen to work as a hairdresser in her father's business. She was married at eighteen and ran her own hairdressing business for some years before moving to Cambridge, although Linda has now moved to somewhere a bit quieter in Cambridgeshire. She started writing in 1976, combining this with helping her husband to run his antique shop.
Writing as Anne Herries, Linda won the 2004 RNA Romance Award and the Betty Neels Trophy. She lives in Cambridgeshire. After many happy years of taking their holidays in Spain she and her husband, now have a second home in Norfolk. Being only a short drive, they can visit for a few days at a time, which suits their busy lifestyle these days. They are only just across the road from the sea, and can see it from their windows. At home and at the sea they enjoy watching the wildlife and have many visitors to their gardens, particularly squirrels. Anne loves watching their antics and spoils both them and her birds shamelessly. She also loves to see the flocks of geese and other birds flying in over the sea during the autumn, to winter in the milder climes of this country. Anne loves to write about the beauty of nature and sometimes puts a little into her books, though they are mostly about love and romance. She writes for her own enjoyment and to give pleasure to her readers.

Eliza, the perfect woman. She is kind, forgiving, innocent. Of course she catches the eye of Daniel Seaton, and of course they get the perfect future together. A typical romance, with discovered relations and inheritances that were extremely predictable, but I enjoyed it anyway. I did like Lady Sarah though, so I was glad to see her happiness fulfilled.

kinda slow - not really believable that she sends out a job inquiry and her birth mother answers. The idea was there to start the story but the details needed more work to make them believable.

Even though Secret Heiress was not the type of book that requires any mental strain - the 'mysteries' in its plot easily resolved before the book's halfway point - it was still an engaging and sweet novel, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
I would have liked for the author to have allowed us readers to participate a tad more. Although the mystery Lord Seaton was investigating manages to hold out to the end of the book to be resolved, the others 'mysteries' were extremely obvious. It would have been nice to not have been 100% aware of various familial links between characters, before the story had fully developed.
But as a light read for lovers of historical romance, Secret Heiress is a perfect pick :)
