Something in the Heir
by Suzanne Enoch
I loved this book. I thought it was a very inventive take on the standard Regency romance. Emmie needs to get married before her cousin in order to stay in the house she grew up in. She marries her childhood best friend and supports him in his career, but they have a distant marriage. In 8 years she's requested to go to her grandfather's birthday party and bring the children she was not only required to have in order to inherit, but the children she made up and wrote to family about for years.
Emmie and Will end up "borrowing" two orphans to pose as their children. Along the way they of course fall in love with the children and learn to love each other as adults rather than the childhood friends or "partners" they had been in their marriage. Their relationship was very cute, and it was nice to see them both appreciate each other and also learn to open their hearts to their new relationships with the kids.
Of course there is the villain, the standard misunderstandings, and the children expecting to be left after 8 weeks, and these are handled in such a way as to bring the new family, and the loving staff closer together. There is also a cute secondary love story between the lady's maid and another staff member that I enjoyed.
This was a rated (barely) PG romance that I highly enjoyed. I received a preview copy from NetGalley and am giving an honest review.
