About this listen
In 1774, Juliet Catesby lives with her father and sister at Royal Vale, the James River plantation founded by her Virginia family over a century before. Indigo cultivation is her foremost concern, though its export tethers her family to the powerful Buchanan clan of Glasgow, Scotland. When the heir of the Buchanan firm arrives on their shores, Juliet discovers that her father has secretly arranged for one of his daughters to marry the Scot as a means of canceling the family's debt. Confident it will be her younger, lovelier sister, Juliet is appalled when Leith Buchanan selects her instead.
Despite her initial refusal of him, an ensuing altercation forces Juliet to flee Virginia. Agreeing to marry, she sails with Leith to Scotland, hopeful of a better match for her sister, who accompanies her. But once in Glasgow and faced with the contentious, powerful Buchanan clan, she realizes that the man who saved her from financial ruin and scandal is the very one she must now save in return.

I, Monroe Wilde, the woman some could argue isn’t exactly Elizabeth Bennet material, have been chosen to play the beloved heroine for one week at Pride and Prejudice Park, a destination experience for Jane Austen devotees. To make this dream even more amazing and surreal, my best friend, the Duke of Blackthorne, Alastair Fitzroy, has volunteered to play my Mr. Darcy.

Mystery, a touch of suspense, achingly beautiful romance, rich lyrical prose, & a lovely faith thread made Indigo Heiress unforgettable. Laura Frantz masterfully brings Colonial Virginia & Glasgow, Scotland to life in this heartfelt historical romance. Juliet & Leith were two endearing characters who completely drew me in. I couldn’t wait to see how these tenacious characters would navigate an arranged marriage.
Juliet Catesby’s a strong, independent woman who’s thoroughly involved in her father’s Indigo plantation from the planting to the harvesting. But with her father’s mounting debts & war looming, Juliet knows their livelihood at Royal Vale is tenuous. When the heir to a wealthy Scottish exporting firm arrives in Virginia, Juliet discovers her father has arranged a marriage to cancel out their debts. Confident it’s her younger, beautiful sister Loveday, she’s shocked to find Leith Buchanan wants her. Though she refuses the gruff widower, a terrible altercation forces her to reconsider & she & her sister find themselves on his ship bound for Scotland.
I was fully immersed in this gorgeous story. Juliet’s compassion, strong convictions, intelligence, & faith had me cheering for her from the beginning. I appreciated her struggles & courage as she deals with her own personal challenges & the scourge of slavery. Leith is one of those gruff Scottish heroes you can’t help but adore. I loved his darling twins & seeing things from his POV.
Juliet’s & Leith’s slow burn romance kept me anxiously turning the pages. They’re both strong characters & I enjoyed every moment as their relationship develops. But, as their romance blooms, so do the intrigue & plot twists set against the backdrop of the coming Revolutionary War. The author brilliantly captures the dilemmas & historical elements to really make this time period come to life. I loved the vivid descriptions & details of indigo planting & the gorgeous settings.
I listened to the audiobook version & loved the narrator! She did a fabulous job bringing these characters to life with their various accents. It was a fabulous book to listen to.
Highly recommend & a must read for historical fiction fans! I received an advanced complimentary copy from the publisher but also purchased the audiobook version. All opinions are my own & voluntarily provided. 4.5-5 stars!
Beautifully written historical romance!
