I seem to be, oh, two months behind on reviews. We'll see how many of them I get posted haha I really liked the concept of this one - Emmeline & William got married several years ago to fulfill the requirements of E's capricious uncle so that E can continue to live in her childhood home. But things are about to come apart at the seams - a secondary requirement was that they produce an heir, which never happened... but E's uncle thinks it has ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont\'d) because she\'s been lying to him via letter all this time! Now he\'s coming to visit, so E has to confess to William and find two suitable children to convince her uncle that her imaginary family is real.

This is a book I think I\'ll enjoy more the second time around. It\'s not nearly as much about the romance between E & W as I was expecting - instead, it\'s more about what makes a family and them coming together that way. It was a nice ⬇

This one was fun, but somehow I kept thinking I was expecting more. This was very much a screwball comedy, but i also kept thinking WHY?!?!?! The kids were cute though.

What a delightfully fun read! Emmeline loves her home at Winnover Hall - even if it means following the rules stipulated by her grandfather to remain there. It drives her to quickly marry- and then to invent fictitious children all to remain there. But as her grandfather‘s birthday approaches, they must present their children- so she and her husband scramble to borrow some. Though a bit predictable, the charming characters make this a fun read!

This one was such fun…unbelievable, but wonderful just the same. This is my third from this author, and I‘m definitely open for more. Emmeline, a young woman of 18, hurriedly weds her childhood friend William (20) in order to retain her beloved country home. Her grandfather (a duke) has stipulated that the couple must have a child within 5 years to keep it. After 8 childless years, in a desperate effort to save their home, Emmie “invents” 2 🔻

robinb children (on paper). When she and William are summoned for the duke‘s birthday celebration, they “borrow” George & Rose, siblings from an orphanage. Then things get interesting and even wackier. And you can probably guess where it leads. But even though the premise is over-the-top, it‘s also heart tugging and amusing. And the focus (other than on the kids), is the slow build to love for the couple (and surprise, there are no intimate scenes). 🔻 2y
robinb Even though it drug a bit in places, the outstanding characters (leads and all) were worth the leisurely pace. 4.25/5⭐️ 2y
