This book was oddly silly despite the nefarious undertones. It was charming enough but I could have used more of the romance and less of the children.
This book was so adorable. Rose and George were so precious and the relationship between Will and Emmie was so cute. The dialogue was so cute and funny. Such a good feel read

I love how this book captured a more mature, reconnecting kind of love that is not common in most romance stories. As a parent and someone who has been married for more than a decade, the relationship in this book captured the joy of connecting and solidifying love as you get a little older.
I can understand why some people might not get the same emotional charge from this book as I did, but I think that is a feature, not a bug. This is a great story about finding joy and staying emotionally connected as your life changes and your family grows.

What a fun read! I like Historic Romances, so I knew that I wouldn't have any trouble reading this one, the premise sounded different enough to not be the same book I've read countless times, and this book did not disappoint! I didn't want to stop reading, it was so enjoyable. Imagine making a deal with a friend, to get married, which will benefit you both. This is what Emmaline does, in order to keep her home, and proceeds to send letters to her grandfather, keeping up an allusion of a perfect marriage (and family)! And it works perfectly, until Emmaline's grandfather invites the family to celebrate his 70th birthday. Now Emmaline needs to find 2 children to pretend to be part of her perfect family.
