Vanished Into Thin Heiress by Pru WarrenMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
As a student at Rowley University, Ivy Connors used to pretend that rare books librarian Miss Violet Coopersmith was the grandmother she'd never had. Years later, it comes as a shock when Ivy is invited to a mysterious meeting at an upscale Manhattan law firm and informed that the recently deceased Miss C. was a secret millionaire who'd named Ivy and two other young women who attended Rowley in her will. Ivy's inheritance is a vast property in upstate New York called the Victor's Den, worth nearly $50 million. If she accepts, the property is hers to do with as she wishes, though the will stipulates that she must live there for a full year before she can sell. If she refuses the inheritance or fails to fulfill the terms of the will, the property will be sold immediately with the proceeds donated to Rowley. Ivy decides to accept and spend the next year recreating the childhood experiences she missed while living life in the spotlight as a teen pop star. Could getting in touch with her inner child be the key to Ivy's future happiness?
Unlike the first two books of the series which were told in dual first-person POV, this story was narrated solely from Ivy's perspective. I usually prefer dual POV, but in this case, focusing on Ivy was a good choice because her character arc outside of the romance was so important. There was so much for her to come to terms with in her past, and it wasn't easy for her to find her place in the world. Her unexpected love interest played a critical role in helping Ivy integrate the good parts of her old life with the new life she was trying to build. I never would have predicted that she'd end up with that person, but they made a surprisingly great couple, and I have to admit that I was rooting for them even before it became clear that there was something between them.
Overall, "Vanished Into Thin Heiress" was a wonderful conclusion to the Surprise Heiress series and I highly recommend it for all romantic comedy fans. I look forward to whatever Pru Warren writes next.
