Something in the Heir

I just finished Something in the Heir by Suzanne Enoch and I have to tell you how cute and funny this book was. I laughed with pure joy!

Emmeline Pershing has a plan, a plan to keep her family home. It entails marrying her friend! 8 years later she hasn't managed to start the family she needs to continue to keep her home. Her grandfather and his silly rules... So Emmeline tells a tiny white lie.

Now the Duke, her grandfather, is requesting that all his grandchildren and their families come for his birthday. To Emmeline's chagrin... That means producing her imaginary children. The whole jig will be up!

Not willing to go down without a fight, Emmeline and her husband Will hatch a scheme to borrow 2 kids from the orphanage for a few weeks, enough to fool anyone, they can keep their home and their life as it was. Things don't go quite according to plan, which makes for some laughs, some tears, and the two of them falling in love with 2 rogue children and falling back in love with each other.

The words cute, funny and adorable spring to mind when I think of this book. Loved every silly moment this book delivers. I fell in love with Emmie, Will, Rose and George. The whole dynamic of the 2 kids made me smile and my heart break a little. George has had to take care of his little sister for so long that letting these adults in in any way, is too dangerous for him. I laughed so hard at the games the kids play with the butler and how the butler pretends he isn't fond of the kids himself. I loved the location of the book and how all the characters had so much charm to them. I felt like I was being hugged all the way through the book.

My heart felt so full after I was finished and I didn't want the book to end. I loved how the book ended too. It was so perfect.

I love women's fiction and this one might be my favorite in that genre now. 5 stars. 5 beautiful stars!!

Thank you so much to #netgalley and #stmartinpress for this book. It was the best of the year so far, for me.
