Suzanne Enoch has a beautiful talent for crafting fun, entertaining tales with more than a touch of chaos. Something in the Heir is an excellent addition to that collection. Will and Emmie have their hands full, and it’s a blast to watch.

Will and Emmie have had an outwardly picture-perfect marriage for eight years. However, it only takes one letter to shatter that illusion. Emmie’s been lying to her family for years, and the mad scramble to cover it up leads to the wild adventure with the Fletcher siblings.

Will and Emmie have grown into a marriage of convenience where they barely recognize each other from the childhood friends that they once knew. Having that life upended drives them to rethink what they know about each other. As a result, it’s a sweet rather than spicy story.

Worlds collide as the streetwise Fletchers are taken in by the wealthy Pershings. George is a protective older brother, while Rose is a sweetheart with a mischievous streak. Watching long-held ideas being shaken and the crazy stunts pulled by the children and servants is a blast, while a sense of levity surrounds the chaos.

The characters are well-crafted, and the different personalities bring the story to life. The butler, Powell, was my favorite of the extended cast. He definitely did not have an easy job trying to keep the house from being completely torn apart. Watching the different factions face off while trying to hide their antics from each other made me laugh.

Being a family is complicated, but the Pershings show why it is worth the effort even when nothing seems to go to plan. Suzanne Enoch did a great job with this book, and I look forward to seeing what she has in store next.
