Something in the Heir by Suzanne Enoch, is a rom-com written within a historic romance, a unique and delightful read. This is the story of Emmeline and William Pershing who have been friends for years and decided a marriage of convenience would best support their end goals; Emmie receiving Winnover, a family estate, and William having success in his career through her connections. The couple agreed to live separate and apart under one roof and remain that way. When the Duke of Welshire, Emmie’s reclusive grandfather, summons all of the family and their children to his estate to celebrate his birthday, she finds herself in a disastrous situation. Will is totally bewildered at the extent his wife went to in order to keep Winnover, her beloved estate. Her biggest lie above all the lies is the invisible children her grandfather believes they’ve had. Not only are there no children, but they must make haste to materialize a son of eight years and a daughter aged 5. What they did not bargain for is George and Rose, orphans. After all nothing could go wrong when you borrow unruly orphans and present them your grandfather. Right?

One might think it would be Will and Emmie leading this story, and they do in parts, but it's clear from the moment Rose and George are introduced, they are the stars. Wise beyond their years, intensely loyal to one another, and need for love more than they will ever admit, these two little rascals steal every single scene they're in, leaving laughter, frustration, confusion, and affection in their wake. They were adorable and it was somewhat obvious, from the beginning, how it would all end; but it was fun getting there, with plenty of twists, turns, and shenanigans along the way.

An amusing and entertaining story that was hard to put down, this was a humorous read making me smile or laugh with each turn of the page; needing to find out what would happen next for Will and Emmie. There is sarcasm, humor and some shenanigans that will keep you on the edge with laughter. The characters are beautifully explored and you enjoy every one of them in one way or another. From the staff to the children, humor leads the way. I highly recommend Something in the Heir to other readers.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

I enjoy a found family story with children, but this story was just okay. It's been a month since I read this as I write this review, but I can't really remember any strong feelings about this book.
