Clash of wills by Audrey FlynnMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
After Ruby Silver's restaurant in Cleveland burns down she's lost everything, until her uncle dies and leaves his mansion in South Africa to her and her siblings. Since both her siblings are already wealthy they agree to let Ruby go out and try to restore Jacaranda Mansion to make it into a restaurant. Unfortunately, when Ruby gets to the small town of Marulaspruit, on the edge of the Kruger Game Reserve, it appears that her eccentric uncle left more than one will, and local builder Sam Duvenage, who was raised by Ruby's uncle after his own father left, also claims a legal right to the mansion.
But while Sam and Ruby are bickering over whose will takes precedence and who should therefore be the owner, other forces are circling, determined to buy the mansion for their own nefarious purposes.
This book felt like it suffered from not really knowing what it wanted to be, not really a forced-proximity romance, not really a suspense romance, just kind of somewhere in between. And there was a lot of not sharing pertinent information then running straight into danger on both sides.
Overall, it was pleasant enough.
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review.
