Something in the Heir by Suzanne Enoch
5.0

I just want to start by saying that this book is not steamy but it is sweet. A perfect palette cleanser.

Eight years ago, Emmeline asked William Pershing to marry her. She was desperate to not lose her childhood home and proposed a marriage of convenience, listing all the benefits their union would bring. Will agreed. Of course, the Duke of Welshire, her grandfather, had stipulations. They had five years to produce heirs in order to hold on to her family estate.

Meanwhile, Will has enjoyed his wife's hosting/planning abilities which have helped advance his career. When their attempts to have children were unsuccessful Will and Emme drifted into separate but content lives.

When Emme receives a summons to attend her grandfather's birthday celebration, he also demands the presence of their darling children. Panic sets in as Emme prepares to let her husband in on the two children she's invented, in order to fulfill their agreement. She's surprised when Will agrees to her plan of finding children they can borrow in order to keep from losing their home.

They borrow orphans George and Rose, who they have eight weeks to transform into their children.

The children add chaos and light-heartedness to their life something they never knew they were missing. This all brings Will and Emme closer as they begin to see each other in a different light.

Thank you so much to the author and St. Martin's for this ARC to review.
