Review: An Unsuitable Heir

An Unsuitable Heir An Unsuitable Heir by K.J. Charles
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My first ARC! Thanks to NetGalley for sending me this :)

I’ve become a pretty big KJ Charles fan over the last year or so. She does a great job constructing unusual historical romances with a lot of research and attention to detail behind them. An Unsuitable Heir is no exception, although more focused on interesting characters than professions or political beliefs this time. It’s about Mark and Pen, as you might have gathered from the end of book 2, and in fact it overlaps significantly in timeline with that book. I have to say, my one negative is that I read this right after An Unnatural Vice and there were a few too many repeated scenes for me (and I didn’t check, but they did feel repeated word-for-word, just from a different POV). Wait, I might have one more gripe, but I think it’s true for the whole trilogy – these books are just so short, I binged this one in just one evening!

Anyway, it’s probably obvious but I really liked this book. I was really surprised to find out that (view spoiler), and much of the book centered around that. It was a very interesting depiction, and I thought it was handled very well, though I personally can’t comment on the accuracy. I did wish we got a little more of Mark, but this was very much Pen’s book, I felt. Anyway, I was satisfied with how the trilogy wrapped up! I will, as always, be on the lookout for more KJ Charles to read! :)
