Something in the Heir by Suzanne Enoch

4.0

Well, this was just a delight!

I am not a huge regency reader - but this one caught my eye, and I am glad I read it. Huge thanks to #NetGalley and #StMartinsPress for gifting me an early version to read and review.

While this is billed as a romance, to me it was really a family story. Emmeline and William have had a marriage of convenience, a partnership as they call it, for the last 8 years. In a real reminder of how things were back in the day, in order for Emmeline to keep the home she grew up in, she must get married and have children within a timeframe. She and Will quickly married, but they weren't able to have conceive. So naturally Emmeline lied to her grandfather the Duke.

When it was clear that they were going to have to find kids to pretend to be their own, I was nervous about how this was going to play out. But I quickly fell in love with the Fletcher kids. Rose and George MADE this book. They were so well rounded, so fun and feisty, and so deeply committed to eachother.

I also adored the staff and how they interacted with the kids. And the slowburn of Emmeline and William was so perfect. Just a delightful read! Highly recommend.
