Something in the Heir by Suzanne Enoch
3.0
*I received a free ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
While the premise of this book sounded interesting, and the actual core plot provided some excellent comedy, I was left feeling ultimately disappointed in this book. The two main characters, Emmeline and Will, played second fiddle to our orphans, George and Rose. While I ADORED the children, and think the author did a fabulous job of writing them and their hijinks, I never became invested in Emmeline and Will, the two I should care about. Moreover, while this book is branded as romance, there is next to none. It encapsulates a lot of the tropes inherent to romance, but doesn't take them any further than surface level.
If you are looking for a story about two plucky orphans, scooped into a wild scheme by selfish adults who end up caring about them more than their own selfish desires, then this might be the book for you! I was just left feeling a little disappointed. But as always with Enoch, the writing is incredible.
