A review by lbcreads
Something in the Heir by Suzanne Enoch

3.0

Emmeline was to remain her childhood home, Winnover Hall. Will was secretly in love with Emmeline so he said yes to marrying her 8 years ago. After drifting apart over the years, Emmeline has to come clean. She lied to her family about having children in order to meet the Duke's demands to be able to stay in Winnover Hall. Now they have to continue their charade and find two kids to pretend to be their children so they can stay in their home.

I wanted to love this story as I thought it was a cute, sort of second chance romance. However, there were some pacing issues and repetitive passages that cause me to give it 3 stars. Also, while the book was written in third person, it bounces from POV to POV without a smooth transition making it difficult to know whose perspective we are in.

I enjoyed the story overall but also felt like there were a few unnecessary subplots and a lot of character development that seemed to happen off page.

It was a refreshing story, if somewhat predictable and I would recommend it to anyone who likes historical fiction. It was an easy read and had some charming moments.

Thank you to NetGalley for an eArc in exchange for my honest opinion.
