Thank you to St. Martin's Press for providing me with an eARC for Something in the Heir. All of the following views are my own.
Something in the Heir centers around Emmeline and Will Pershing, childhood friends who agreed to a marriage of convenience in order to keep Emmeline's home, Winnover Hall. The catch is that in order to keep it for the remainder of their lives, they must have produced an heir within the first five years of marriage. Now eight years into their marriage, Emmeline reveals to Will that she's convinced their families (and most of the ton) that they are parents to two children, Malcolm and Flora. The only problem is they only exist on paper and with an upcoming milestone birthday for her grandfather, those make believe children must become real. They find a set of orphans, George and Rose, who closely match the made up descriptions and decide to train them for eight weeks so they can pull off their elaborate web of tales.
With witty dialogue, shenanigans to spare, and a renewed romance, Something in the Heir quickly became one of my favorite releases this year. This was my first Suzanne Enoch novel and because I quickly fell head over heels for her writing, it certainly won't be my last. I would recommend this for fans of The Parent Trap, The Sound of Music (George and Rose did remind me very much of the Von Trapp children), and India Holton's Dangerous Damsels series.

I just finished Something in the Heir by Suzanne Enoch and I have to tell you how cute and funny this book was. I laughed with pure joy!
Emmeline Pershing has a plan, a plan to keep her family home. It entails marrying her friend! 8 years later she hasn’t managed to start the family she needs to continue to keep her home. Her grandfather and his silly rules… So Emmeline tells a tiny white lie.
Now the Duke, her grandfather, is requesting that all his grandchildren and their families come for his birthday. To Emmeline’s chagrin… That means producing her imaginary children. The whole jig will be up!
Not willing to go down without a fight, Emmeline and her husband Will hatch a scheme to borrow 2 kids from the orphanage for a few weeks, enough to fool anyone, they can keep their home and their life as it was. Things don’t go quite according to plan, which makes for some laughs, some tears, and the two of them falling in love with 2 rogue children and falling back in love with each other.
The words cute, funny and adorable spring to mind when I think of this book. Loved every silly moment this book delivers. I fell in love with Emmie, Will, Rose and George. The whole dynamic of the 2 kids made me smile and my heart break a little. George has had to take care of his little sister for so long that letting these adults in in any way, is too dangerous for him. I laughed so hard at the games the kids play with the butler and how the butler pretends he isn’t fond of the kids himself. I loved the location of the book and how all the characters had so much charm to them. I felt like I was being hugged all the way through the book.
My heart felt so full after I was finished and I didn’t want the book to end. I loved how the book ended too. It was so perfect.
I love women's fiction and this one might be my favorite in that genre now. 5 stars. 5 beautiful stars!!
Thank you so much to #netgalley and #stmartinpress for this book. It was the best of the year so far, for me.

No tenía expectativas sobre este libro. En medio de estar en cama enferma y sentirme muy mal por ello, me puse a leerlo.
Cuando me percate que estaba leyendo un capítulo tras otro sin parar. Me enganchó desde el primer momento.
Es una historia super ligera, entretenida, bonita, entrañable.
Los personajes. Cada uno, me encantó por igual. Pero.. George y Rose me robaron el corazón. Que niños tan ocurrentes, pícaros y hermosos.
El amor que se cocina entre nuestros protagonistas Emmeline y Will, es a fuego lento, pero realmente no se siente tanto, porque siempre hay un momento agitado alrededor de ellos debido a la llegada tan repentina de los niños.
La interacción del personal de la casa entre ellos y con los niños, me parece de lo más divina. Es que no puedo de la ternura.
Cumplió con su objetivo. Me entretuvo, me hizo reír, me sacó unas lágrimas, me emocioné, grite, me enojé y al final terminé con una sonrisa en la cara. Incluso estoy escribiendo esto con una sonrisa.
Cabe destacar que disfruto muchísimo los romances de época, sobretodo de regencia. Y este sin duda se va a la pila de mis favoritos.
Matrimonio arreglado, found family, friends to lovers. Qué mas se puede pedir?
Un libro super, super precioso. 💌
