Something in the Heir

A Novel

De: Suzanne Enoch

Narrado por: Sarah Nichols

In Something in the Heir, smart, capable heiress Emmeline Pershing will do anything to keep her beloved home; and all it takes is an arranged marriage and a teeny white lie to fulfill her family’s silly inheritance rules! But now her little fib means that she and her completely unsuspecting husband are going to inherit big―and very messy!―trouble in this spicy, sexy delight from bestseller, Suzanne Enoch.

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 eight, and Rose, five―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.

It’s clean, funny and there’s actually a plot

Susan Enoch is on a list of authors I once really enjoyed but stopped getting due to the unfortunate ratio of sex:plot. Along with books that spent more time on sex than a viable plot, humor seemed to also disappear. This book was humorous, had character building, a great plot and clean.

Something in the Heir

This story was great fun, The characters were well developed by the author, and the narrator performed them well. I especially enjoyed the portrayal of little Rose.

Fun and lively tale

I picked this up, then had been putting off reading it. Looking at the summary, it just sounded tedious. But it was done as a light-hearted and fun romp. Even when elements were added to the story that could have made it heavy or awkward, they were handled in a light-hearted way. It never felt plausible, but I don't require that from the books I enjoy. It was well written and well narrated, and I enjoyed the time I spent listening to it.

Ok

Predictable but fun. The voices were really enjoyable allowing you to get to know the characters better

So very good!

I loved it so much. A wonderful feel good story. Charming and delightful. I will look for other books by this author, Suzanne Enoch.

I did not want this book to end!!!!

From start to finish this book totally had me sucked in. I loved the characters, especially the children and all their shenanigans. The sweet love comes softly romance between the parents was so sweet. Definitely this is my new favorite book of the year and I can’t wait to start the next one! I wish I could give it 10 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Predictable

LOL, what a predictable little farce with so many twist and turns that you will say “I knew that was coming”!! It’s fun to listen to, but I think they missed an opportunity of having Emmi being with child at the end for another little wrinkle, of course that news would have come much later than a month.

Delightful!

A romp- an entirely enjoyable, ingeniously thought out romp! I’d love to hear from these characters again

FANTASTIC!

I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed a book this much since listening through all of the Marion Chesney/M.C. Beaton books. This is the first I’ve listened/read from this author. I can only hope her other books are just as charming and witty. I did read one review stating there wasn’t any romance. There is nice, clean romance. If you you prefer steamier stuff, you won’t get it here BUT, it is still worth the credit.

All of the characters where wonderful. I thought the narrator did a great job, most particularly with the characters of George and Rose. Oh, I do hope the Author’s other books are just as good.

Oh the children!

I loved Rose and George! They were far more smart and resourceful than anyone expected. Will and Emmie handled all the obstacles very well and proved they were good partners and more 😉
The story moved along nicely.
The narrator was very good too!
