Just rewards is the last book in the Emma Harte series written by Barbara Taylor Bradford. Emma had made her way from a servant to a business woman in the early 19th century and her grandchild Paula mother of Linnet and Tessa takes it to new heights in the late 19thcentury.
Four women at a crossroads; a family in crisis; and an enemy planning for his long-awaited chance at revenge. Who will have their Just Rewards? The story revolves around Linnet, India, Evan and Tessa the great granddaughters of Emma Harte.
The book starts with Evan’s marriage to Gideon Harte, Evan being the newly found great granddaughter of Emma. Her mom’s newly found independence after battling depression for 15+ years and her step sister Angrahad’s devilish streak are well brought out to integrate with the Harte story line.
Also featured is the love story of India Standish and Dusty a world renowned painter who has to fight his past in the form of a mentally deranged ex girl friend and look after their ten year old daughter Atlanta.
Tessa Fairley who always considered herself as a successor to her mother Paula to take over the Harte empire is starting her life again after divorcing her husband Mark Longden. Does she have to compete with her sister Linnet to take the top spot when her mother retires or does destiny have other plans for her?
Behind the scenes there is Jonathan Ainsley estranged cousin of Paula, a staunch enemy of the Harte family who is trying to damage the Harte’s in every possible way. Does he succeed in his desire to take revenge on the Hartes or does the Harte family thwart him is what you will know in the final book of the Harte series.
Above all there is Linnet who is considered the split image of the great Emma and has great plans to further modernize the Harte empire. Will she proves her mettle and succeed Paula to head the vast Harte empire or lose over Tessa? Will she be able to battle Jonathan and single handedly take Harte’s empire to a new level when a tragedy forces her to be alone at the top?
It is a gripping storyline intertwining the various characters to bring out the end of the Harte and Fairley storyline which started three generations back.
