Summary: My First Brenda Joyce book.....
Review: I am a little more than half way through but came on here today to see if anyone else who read this book picked up on an annoying little habit of Ms. Joyce's to repeat herself, namely the constant repetitiveness of using "she, Jill,..." and "her, Jill,...." over and over again as if we don't know who she is referring to. I was hoping this is not a trademark of hers because I'd like to read other books by this author, but this annoying habit has me wanting to hurl the book across the lawn. The only reason I haven't is because I want to see what happens! Little quirks aside, I am really enjoying it.

Summary: Interesting account, great ending
Review: I thought this book was soo interesting, another one of those "I can't put it down" books. I loved the story behind it, and i loved the story that was going on, it was soo interesting, and I loved how everything worked out. I get really emotionally involved in all the books i read, and totally got into this one :)

Summary: Worth every penny I spent on myself
Review: I enjoyed this book as much as any of Brenda's books. It had all of the mystery, romance, and excitement that I enjoy in her books. I loved the time jumping and as always the details of the periods. I couldn't put the book down.

Summary: Brenda Joyce has won herself another dedicated reader!
Review: I have never heard of Brenda Joyce but once I read an exerpt of this book, I was hooked. Once I started reading, I was unable to put the book down. Her main characters, Jill and Alex, were definitely an intriguing pair who both expressed sexual attraction and emotions along with possible deceptive qualities. You never knew what would happen next. But once you did, it was shocking and unpredictable. I highly recommend this book to whom ever loves romantic suspenses with mysterious endings.

Summary: A Page Turner
Review: The Third Heiress by Brenda Joyce was a very involving book. It swept me up in its story and suspence. What made the book such a page turner for me is that you honestly don't know who to trust. The leading male character, Alex is in many ways a question mark through out the entire story. Should Jill trust him or not? Just when you begin to have faith in him, he does or says something to make you suspicious of him again. The story line that takes place in the past is also a page turner. What exactly did happen to Kate? Where did she disappear to and why? Brenda Joyce never gives away the ending until it's upon you.

Summary: Worth it

Summary: What happened to Brenda Joyce?
Review: I first would like to say that I was a true Brenda Joyce fan. For anyone who read "Promise of the Rose", you know what I am talking about. I love all types of romance ---comtemp. hist. funny. suspense, ect...Unfortunately, this book, "The third Heiress" did not live up to the hype. I felt no emotional involvement with the characters at all. There was nothing about Jill for me to want to read about! The mystery was lacking and I did not care for the whole "Who am I" plot line. It was played...so played! I know Brenda Joyce has written five star books before, I have read them. This book fell short. I hope she can lure me back with something better in the future.

Summary: Was great from start to finish
Review: The Third Heiress by Brenda Joyce was great. This was the first of her books that I have read,and I plan to buy more of her works. I was hooked from the start of the book to the end. I never would have guessed the ending. Great work Mrs. Joyce. I hope you kept writing more mysteries.

Summary: Not the usual fare.
Review: I picked up "The Third Heiress" because I have always enjoyed Brenda Joyce's works. This book has more of a suspense edge to it; as do a lot of romances now. The problem with The Third Heiress is that the principle characters and their motives were not established early on in the book. One hundred pages into the book, I was still wondering what was going on in the book and why I should care. Going to a fiancee's funeral with his bitter hateful family, seeing a photo with the name "Kate," and her last name on the of it does not make for a compelling mystery or much of a drama. Believe me, I did not stay up all night reading this one. There was no reason to. I did not like any of the characters, or care what happened to them.

Summary: Sorry, but I thought this book was bad!
Review: To me, this book couldn't decide what genre it belonged in. Is it a romance, romantic suspense, ghost story, glitz? Who done it? I didn't care; the girl was long gone! Too many coincidences and stilted dialogue added to my dislike of this story. Then, there's the so-called love scenes; added I'm sure to give the author's fans a fair dose of her trademark sensuality. I'd pass on this!
