A classic enemies to lovers rom com. Y0u might see the end coming from the beginning but there are enough twists to keep it interesting.

Unfortunately, I had to put this book down half way through, however, I am sure this is suited to many readers who will appreciate it.

Really enjoyable read. Good characters and a Good story. Well worth a read. Think others will enjoy.

This was a good read. I enjoyed the fact that it wasn't just a girl sees boy and falls in love book- so many are just basic like that now. This provided us with a lead who has dreams, ambitions, and end the end is just a normal girl.

I enjoyed the book but I think it needed a bit more of a twist as it felt a bit predictable

Upon reading the description I was excited to dive into a cute book that I could thoroughly enjoy,however, I was really disappointed with this one.

The story is based around Ashley who is 24 and returning home from college and anticipating that she will be taking over Morgan & Hall, her fathers company. Over dinner Ashley finds out that Jamie, who is one of her fathers best employees will instead be taking over which causes Ashley to storm out. Fast forward 3 years and Ashley's father passes away, the will her father left states that in order for her to have a share in the company and to keep the apartment her and Jamie will not only have to work together, but also live together for an entire year.

I wanted to like this book, I really did and I got through more than 50% of the book before I really started skimming through the rest. Ashley is the most annoying character I could probably ever think of. I could have understood a spoiled girl but she's like this THE WHOLE BOOK. All she does in whine and complain and never takes responsibility for anything. Jamie was not so bad but as the book continued on he became just as annoying.

I must also point out that if Jamie really had 110 degree fever he would be a lot worse than just suffering a little cold.

Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for my copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

this is perfect holiday reading written beautifully about two people thrown together because of th we stipulations of a will
The writers description of food especially chocolate makes your mouth water
The ending is as I would have predicted but lovely to read all the same

I loved this! So easy to read. Great story with fantastic characters, couldnt put it down.

A great book that reminded me of the film 'The Bachelor'.

As soon as I read the description for this book I knew I had to read it, it sounded fun and light hearted which I was just in the mood for. So what did I think...

I'm going to start with the characters namely Ashley as I think she falls firmly into the marmite category. She could be a little infuriating at times but it definitely made her an entertaining character! I think that even though she isn't a 100% likeable this doesn't impact on the story too much. I like to see characters have flaws and let's be honest Ashley does have them. I did however love the sparring and fireworks that went off whenever Ashley and Jamie started arguing. 

The plot is easy to digest and there is no complicated story so it's easy to sit back and relax with. I managed to whip through this book very quickly. It's the perfect book to sink into and just enjoy the characters fun and entertaining lives. There were some funny moments throughout and this definitely helped keep things light.

Fun and light hearted!

Thank you to Aria Fiction & Netgalley for my copy. This is my honest and unbiased opinion.

Unfortunately this wasn't the right book for me and I didn't finish but I am still supporting it as part of the blog tour.

This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. The story flowed very well and was very enjoyable. This book will keep you reading long into the night and you will not want to put this book down until you finish. This was such a great read and full of surprises. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

I found the character of Ashley very childish & annoying & there was zero chemistry between her & Jamie. I skipped through a lot of the pages & got to 37% but I had to give up as the story just wasn't engaging.

Sorry not my cup of tea

1.5 stars.

I requested "The Inheritance" by Angie Coleman on NetGalley because a) the cover is cute and I am a sucker for such lovely, sweet covers and b) because even though the synopsis didn't sound very original, it still was good and promised a few giggles. You can also read on the cover that it's going to be a feisty, giggle - inducing romance. Guys, I am so, so sorry but this book was nothing like that.

My problems started already at the beginning with the main character Ashley. From the very first word you could see she's spoiled and childish and she stayed like this for the whole, full of clichés, story. Used to getting everything she wanted in her life, at the first "no" she throws a tantrum bigger than a tsunami, feeling offended with everything and everybody and stops talking to her father, but when he dies three years later she expects she's going to inherit his apartment and money (because she doesn't have money and a place to live *haven't expected this, never. Sigh*). Enter Jamie, a pastry chef and candy maker, who, instead of Ashley, has been chosen to run Ashley's father's company (hence Ashley being so offended). Fast forward three years, Ashley's father is dead, and there is a condition in his will: to inherit apartment, Ashley has to live together with Jamie for twelve months. Jamie will only inherit the company if he works together with Ashley for a year.

Yes, guys. That's the plot. It is to swallow, and it could be a really funny rom - com. But believe me, the characters are - sadly - even worst than the plot. They were both like fifteen years old teenagers, both moaning about each other, hating each other, Ashley behaving in the worst possible way and stating "you don't know who you're messin' with", sending messages from Jamie's mobile, this kind of thing, then the woman from the law firm who were supposed to visit them and see if they work together (huh??? I mean, how???? How can you be sure that they are really going along?), Ashley forbad Jamie to watch TV and basically to use any other room in the apartment than his and Jamie fell into line, but in the meantime cooked for Ashley and tried to persuade her that she's in love with him. There was NO connection between those two characters, no sparkles, no chemistry, let's forget about any tension that should somehow indicate there is a teeny tiny sign of a sparkle... I also couldn't see any history between those two, they got to know each other some time ago but there was nothing indicating they had feelings to each other.

I am truly sad that I feel like that about this book, I wanted to like it so much but I can't change my feelings. I also decided to write this review because I managed to finish this book - skim reading, that's it, but I managed. I just couldn't keep up with the characters, the way they behaved, Ashley knowing everything best in the world, also about who her friends should be meeting, Jamie once giving no damn about Ashley and in the next second following her because she has a date. This romance was so unbelievable and didn't work, the writing seemed so disconnected and yes, the idea was there, the potential was there but they weren't delivered. However, please try this story for yourself, you may find yourself falling in love with it.

great read and easy to follow story line. look forward to reading more from this author.

Angie Morgan thinks her life is mapped out and she will inherit her fathers business - but he hands the running of it over to Jamie his pastry chef and she is devastated and cuts off all ties. Three years later her father dies and stipulates in his will that she will only inherit his home if she lives and works with Jamie for a year.

Angie is furious about this and really resents Jamie and so is certainly not going to make life easy for him living together - although he makes it clear that he cares about her and wants to make it work.

I liked the concept of the story but I think the main character Angie was made too unlikeable for the story to really take off - you ended up just wanting to slap her rather than rooting for her and so didn't care what happened to her

3☆ A story of inheritance, a battle of wills

I'm not to sure where to start, i didn't dislike 'The Inheritance' but I also wasn't bowled over by it.

The concept of the story is a great idea, however it just lacked the finesse.

Ashley's father passes away. He leaves her their house on one condition... James moves in with her for one year.

Ashley's father gave James he's business. Instead of Ashley.
James is a pastry chef and more suited to the job.
 Ashley was angered by this and fell out with her father.
So when they are forced to live together it makes matters a whole lot worse.

Ashley grated on me. Ok I understand James is the last person she wanted to live with but her attitude and constant whining drove me crazy.

Instead of trying to make the best of a bad situation she just couldn't.

All the while this tension and anger is going on, Ashley and James have a romantic connection, a spark. Or should I say in my eyes, a love hate relationship.

Overall I feel this story has got the potential to be really good. I like the concept of the story. It just lacked character and enchantment. I think this could have a lot to do with how I felt about Ashley the main character.

Would I recommend this book....i would say give it a try.
 What is one person's taste isn't always another's, vice versa.

1.5 star rating.

This book was simply a fail. Honestly ... the synopsis sounded cute; Ashley's father owns a candy company, she thinks she's going to join the family business and he surprises her by bringing in someone else, Jamie (who's a pastry chef/candy maker). Skip forward three years later, Ashley has barely spoken to her father and he dies, leaving a condition in his will: Ashley will only inherit her beloved apartment (the one she lived in with her father prior to their estrangement) if she lives there with Jamie for one year. He will only inherit the company if he works with Ashley for one year. Decent plot right?

It could have gone so well - instead we are forced to listen to a juvenile narrator, Ashley as she spends her time: annoyed with Jamie for being nice to her, bemoaning the fact that she doesn't get to sit on "her favourite sofa" and enjoy "relaxing on a Sunday" -both of which are now impossible because Jamie is living in her space. He meanwhile makes her dinner and breakfast, demonstrates that he has feelings for her beyond a business-partner. There is absolutely NO sexual tension - which is what the author attempted to create. The story stays stagnant and the writing seems to be all over the place.

I dislike giving negative reviews because it takes guts to write book, much less write it and get it published and put it out there for the public at large. However I found this book tedious. Often I can find a redeeming quality, but this really fell flat.

I'm sorry.

Ashley Morgan has a crush on Jamie, the handsome pastry chef who works for her family company. But when her father chooses Jamie as his successor instead of her, not only does her relationship with her father change but also her feelings for Jamie. A few years later, her father dies, leaving the company to Jamie and his house to Ashley but on condition that they live and work together for a year. Ashley is not happy about the forced cohabitation and has to struggle with her confused feelings for Jamie.
I found Ashley childish, spoiled and strangely obsessed with a sofa on which she doesn't want Jamie to sit. Although the story is repetitive and the main character is annoying, all in all the storyline could make for a cute rom-com movie.

The Inheritance is the new novel by Angie Coleman, published by Aria. I'll start by saying I'm not normally one for primarily romance-focused novels, but the premise of this one pulled me in.

Ashley Morgan has her life already planned out after graduation. She'll return to the family home and take the reins of the family business. However, things don't seem to go her way. Instead, her father hands over the management of Morgan & Hall to his protegee, Jamie Standley. Upset, Ashley storms out, tearing up a gift from her father in the process.

Three years later, after her father's death, Ashley is forced to return to the family home for the reading of his will. There, it's revealed that both Jamie and Ashley will receive a share in the business. That is, under one condition...that the pair work and live together for a year.

Faced with the prospect of losing to Jamie, Ashley reluctantly agrees. Even though it means she'll be forced to live under tha same roof as Jamie, the man who effectively ruined her future, for an entire year...

Ashley is convinced that Jamie has always had other motives. That he cannot be trusted. And now she's going to get her own back. If, of course, she can manage to ignore Jamie's charm...

Okay, so the plot of The Inheritance is rather exciting. Guy takes over girl's dream, girl gets angry, they're forced to live together, she vows to get revenge. Even though the romantic aspect sounded (and was) entirely predictable, the rest of the premise was what interested me. However, I felt a bit let down by this book.
The main issue? Ashley. Ashley comes across as a spoilt, immature teenager throughout this novel, constantly throwing tantrums. At the beginning of the novel I was starting to warm to her, until she tore up her father's gift and stomped out. Whilst cohabiting with Jamie, she is incredibly stubborn and often quite nasty. I was expecting more from the 'revenge' aspect of this book, but instead, all I seemed to read was Ashley throwing another tantrum, or doing something incredibly childish. (For example, texting Jamie's staff and arranging for the lab to be closed for three days, thus risking lack of pay for the employees and risking missing an important deadline.) And why?

Because Jamie dared to sleep on her favourite sofa.

Due to this, halfway through the book I could see her father's point. And Jamie's, for that matter. I wouldn't trust Ashley to run a business either. So I found it hard to sympathise with her.

She came across as friendly to Jamie one minute, mean the next, constantly holding a grudge even when he was trying to be friendly. Thus, there were quite a few arguments throughout the novel that really weren't needed. I could have forgiven this had the characters been teenagers, but they were not. Ashley is a twenty-four-year-old woman, but acts like a spoilt thirteen-year-old. Her behaviour was a huge distraction from the plot, which I felt had a lot more potential.

That said, this is my own personal opinion, and other readers could think differently. (And like I mentioned before, I'm not a huge reader of romance). Angie Coleman has a nice writing style, and I'd love to read more from her in future. I certainly wouldn't let this one put me off reading her future novels, but this particular book just wasn't for me.
