I don't know who needs to hear this, but public disclaimer guys - Something in the Heir by Suzanne Enoch is NOT a traditional romance. When I looked at the cover I thought romance, hopefully romcom, but I have been trying my best not to let covers influence me in that way since my debacle with A Perfect Marriage. Thankfully it worked this time since the amount of actual romance in here is very minimal. The story is also told from multiple viewpoints including the children's which is probably another reason it doesn't scream romance when you read it. That being said, there is still SOMETHING going on between Emmeline and William, and it was super sweet. They also had some great banter at times which I can never get enough of. I was thoroughly entertained by the storyline and having George and Rose as viewpoints was a brilliant decision by Enoch.
I have no idea how other people will feel, but I think the audiobook is the way to go and I am incredibly happy I decided to listen to it. Sarah Nichols in truth probably sounded a little too old to voice Emmeline, but her voices for the children and the other characters cannot be beaten, and I thought her narration was ace. I really enjoyed the Regency setting and the hilarity that ensues from a couple deciding to 'borrow' children to keep an estate. From the reviews I've seen, it would appear that I enjoyed this a lot more than most and I really do think it has to do with the lack of romance with a cover like it has. I honestly don't even know what genre to categorize it, but if you are a fan of silly shenanigans, laughing, and quirky characters I highly recommend giving Something in the Heir a shot. I'm so happy I bought a physical copy, and I will most certainly be doing a reread at some point. Helloooo new comfort read!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
