Something in the Heir by Suzanne Enoch: Review

I’ve read several books by this author now and they’ve always been very entertaining. Enoch definately does not write a typical historical romance story.

I was in the mood for a little change of pace and this upcoming release was a perfect choice. While it was a different type of romance story, it is heavy on the enjoyment and amusement factor. Check out my review below.

OVERVIEW:
Emmeline and William Pershing have enjoyed a perfectly convenient marriage for eight years. Their relationship is a seamless blend of their talents and goals. They’ve settled into separate, well-ordered lives beneath the same roof, and are content to stay that way―or so Emmeline thinks. And if William has secretly longed for a bit more from the woman he adores, he’s managed to be content with her supreme skills as a hostess and planner, which has helped him advance his career.

Then when Emmeline’s grandfather, the reclusive Duke of Welshire, summons them both for his birthday celebration and demands they bring their two little angelic children, William is stunned to discover that his very proper wife invented not one, but two heirs to fulfill the agreement for living at Winnover. But surely if Emmeline and William team up and borrow two cherubs to call their own, what could go wrong? Enter George, age 8, and Rose, 5―the two most unruly orphans in Britain.

As the insanity unfolds, their careful, professional arrangement takes some surprisingly intimate turns as well. Perhaps it takes a bit of madness to create the perfect happily ever after.

Something in the Heir by Suzanne Enoch Review

This book was completely different from what I expected. Not that that is a bad thing.

Something in the Heir starts with a married couple and while they have known each other their whole lives after marriage things weren’t progressing as expected. Stiff and acting like roommates more than anything, there is a slight issue with a long running lie. And that is where the fun begins.

The story is completely unique and is just a delight to read. The characters are beautifully explored and you enjoy every one of them in one way or another. From the staff to the children, humor leads the way.

Enoch builds this story in a different manner than what is expected in a historical romance and it is a refreshing read.

Personally, I wanted a bit more in the romance department and sooner in the story, but it was getting there by the end. Plus, there were a few areas that I had to ask why she put them in the book… and the ending had a few weird spots.

Regardless, Enoch’s stories are always a memorable, delightful jaunt into the past, just like this one.
