Something in the Heir

We’ve heard of marriage of convenience… one keeps the home they’ve grown up in and the other gets to have connections to fulfill great intentions. But, I’ve never read a kids of convenience story so I enjoyed this book!! To keep their home, Emmeline and William needed heirs by their fifth year of marriage. They eventually found siblings and they’re fun yet you want to hug them (or secretly add coins to their hidden stash). I think the book is well paced and you’ll want to keep reading when a runaway returns to the siblings lives, and something is kindling between mama and papa! Of course there is a happily ever after, however the author keeps us guessing how grand the HEA is until the end. I recommend this feel good book! Thank you to Net Galley, St. Martin’s Press, and St. Martin’s Griffin for the ARC in exchange for a honest review.

The plan is to marry so that Emmeline can keep the house she has always lived in. She chooses to approach her friend Will with this idea; they will be partners in advancing his political ambitions. Eight years later, Grandfather is having a party and invites them. He wants to meet the children. Well, there aren’t any. Emmeline made up a couple to appease Grandfather. From here, the story becomes one filled with secrets and humor. Where will they get two children? Will they be able to fool Grandfather? Will this experience teach them realize there is more to their relationship that a political partnership? This is a bit different, but I found it entertaining and enjoyable. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and am voluntarily reviewing it.

“Something About The Heir” by Suzanne Enoch. This was a cute, entertaining, historical romance with a marriage that needs a huge push to help rekindle their relationship and that comes in the form of two unruly, thieving, but lovable children, as well as a whole lot of lies. I found myself wanting these characters to make the journey to HEA together. There was never a dull moment with these children and all their shenanigans that at times had me laughing out loud. This pulled me in and kept me captivated until the end! Emmaline Hervey grew up at the beautiful estate called Winnover Hall. When she finds out that her family is moving and the next one to get married gets the estate, she does the unthinkable for that time, she proposes to William Pershing and they quickly get married. But in order to keep this estate they will need to conceive and have children to carry on the family name. But after seven years these two have no children to show. So when her grandfather the Duke of Welshire gets sick and wants to see all of his family, Emmeline must come clean and reveals to William that she has invented children so they wouldn't lose their home. With no time to waste William agrees to go along with her scheme and they quickly go to an orphanage and pay to rent two children for a few weeks. As they experience things with the children they realize that they had stopped appreciating the other. And soon find a heightened awareness between them. But will they be able to fool her family? And if they lose their estate and the children they have come to care for, what will become of them? This is a well written, truly fascinating and entertaining story. The secondary characters in this story bring so much laughter, emotion and love to this story! My heart was overflowing with happiness. Received an early copy and this is my honest review.

A fun and totally different type of regency read. The characters are great! Emmeline and William Pershing have been married for 8 years, a compatible marriage of convenience. Married so to inherit Winnover manor from Emmie Grandfather the Duke. There is just one clause that hadn’t been honored, to have a child within the first 5 years of marriage. So when the Pershing are invited to celebrate her Grandfather’s birthday and to bring the children, Emmie has no choice but to inform Will of her lie. She has invented not one but two children so to keep her beloved home Winnover. The search begins to find temporary children for the next 8 weeks, giving them time to learn their roles or parts of the play …. to fool the Duke. So many laugh out loud parts, the children are simply adorable! George and Rose do steal the show, but also brings joy back into the Winnover household. Thank you NetGalley for this eARC. I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an Advance Reader Copy of this story. #NetGalley #SomethingintheHeir #SMPRomance #StMartinsPress #SusanneEnoch
