Richer Than Sin by Meghan March
5.0
We were asked not to write any spoilers, so I don’t dare give many hints about the story. I will just say that this is an addictive, passionate story about money, power and lost love. These characters are victims of their birth, born to their families in this small town, powerless against an enmity born more than a century ago. One family is rich and powerful, the other is poor and downtrod, yet both are intertwined in the history of the town. Whitney Gable is broken by the choices taken in life, Lincoln Riscoff lives an empty life, bound by the demands of his family’s empire.
This feud feels like Romeo and Juliet and a little bit of Dallas soap opera; they meet as enemies and are soon lovers, but are torn apart for ten years. She comes back home, broken and persecuted, feeling like a failure. He has lived and worked but is empty until she comes back. He decides she is his and he will not stop until he has her.
There’s hate and love, anger and compassion, broken pasts and hope for the future. We’re taken on a roller coaster of passion until we get a spectacular cliffhanger and are left hanging (or panting?) for the next installment.
I loved that the book is written in dual POV’s and alternating present and past time, so we hear the current story together with the story that split them apart ten years ago. The author’s writing is brilliant here, since all the chapters, past and present, his and hers, seam effortlessly together and we get a very cohesive and clear history. I loved the humanity of all the characters, some are hateful, others kind and compassionate. The old patriarchs I found childish and funny in their rivalry. I love angsty books and this one is a winner.
