Something in the Heir

Romance Contemporary

It is just another working day when Emma Davison is hired to photograph a Prince at some social function, but little does she know that her life will never be the same. Being completely unlucky in the love department, Emma has decided to stay away from men from now on, and concentrate on her career, even if she is beginning to feel a little jaded in that department. With her wild friend Caro by her side, at least this stuffy photo shoot should be a little entertaining.

Prince Adrian has arrived in America, with his friend and right hand man, Darcy, at just the perfect moment. Adrian needs a break from his mother, who is pushing a marriage on him, that he wants no part in. Feeling caged in and trapped by his obligations, Adrian is determined to evade an arranged marriage, and hatches a plan with Darcy. Escaping for a few days so that he can get his head together, Darcy agrees to run interference with the Queen. Sneaking out of the function, Adrian begs Emma to help him, and she cannot find in it heart to say no. Spiriting him away to her parents beach house, Adrian and Emma soon become friends, and as attraction blooms, Emma fights her feelings, as she knows she will end up hurt.

Emma believes the Queen would hardly allow her son to marry an American nobody, and struggles to stop herself from falling in love with Adrian. Throw in two best friends, some unsuspecting parents, a Prince who has never set foot in a kitchen before, a disgruntled fiancee, and some surprising changes, will Emma and Adrian find their happily ever after together?

SOMETHING IN THE HEIR by Jenny Gardiner is a wonderful tale of love and self discovery, as two people who should have nothing in common, somehow are perfect for each other. The story flows at an enjoyable and natural pace, with plenty of funny moments, alongside the romantic scenes. I love the secondary storyline of Caro and Darcy, and I look forward to the next instalment, to see their relationship develop.

SOMETHING IN THE THE HEIR by Jenny Gardiner is a fabulous short, modern day fairy tale, with interesting characters, and I highly recommend it.

SUMMARY

He’s a prince with a problem, she’s a commoner with a getaway plan.

Modern-day Prince Adrian of Monaforte has a most old-fashioned problem: his demanding mother wants him wed to her best friend’s daughter, the hard-partying Serena. When his refusal falls on deaf ears, Adrian decides it’s time for him to slip away from his gilded cage and figure out his life, all on his own. As luck would have it, event photographer Emma Davison, weary of a revolving door of lost-cause men and tired of her outsider-looking-in career, is in need of her own escape clause, just in time to help a wayward prince in need. And she soon discovers that sometimes a girl’s gotta sweep a prince off his feet.

For any girl that’s ever held out hope that some day her prince would come…or better yet, hoped that some day she’d come to him.
