Sometimes, you’ve got to take a job with the devil to pay the bills…
Too bad I learned too late the devil wears Armani, is the most uptight man in the history of history, and I just signed an unbreakable contract shackling me to his pompous royal side for the summer.
But God, he’s got this British accent that makes my panties melt.
Until the words he says catch up with my brain and make me … with my brain and make me want to throw one of his precious vases at his head.
One minute we’re fighting—and the next—we can’t keep our hands off each other. Because somehow, when Mr. Blue Eyes is kissing me, he makes me forget how much he annoys me.
And that starts a whole new level of complications I. Don’t. Need.
Cuz if you dance with the devil, someone’s gonna end up getting burned…

My first read by Magan Vernon and I must say, she sure can cook up the slow burn. It is definitely a book worthy of a Hallmark Movie. Natalie has a master’s degree in history but it is certainly not paying the bills. Listing her flea market treasures also know as antiques is bringing in some money but not enough. When listing a vase from England she got the most unusual response and subsequently a lucrative proposition. Spend the summer in England cataloging antiques in a manor for a snobby British aristocrat – Lord Gavin! Natalie would have the experience of a lifetime and be able to pay her bills. Her biggest obstacle – Don’t Fall for the Lord of the Manor.
This was a delight to read, containing some of my best loved features – humor, angst, taboo romance, and enemies to lovers. I look forward to sampling more stories from this unique author.

I am royally smirking. (It’s a thing!)
Heired Lines is a smile inducing happily ever royal kind of book. It guarantees a happy ending and a dopey grin with a side of sighing.
Swoon if you must, I’m sure Lady Sarah has an original fainting couch somewhere. This Lord knows how to woo a lady. (I’m snickering because its totally not true!) He doesn’t want the American curator. He just can’t see to stop needing to be in her presence.
Despite what they want, it seems these two will get exactly what they deserve.
Also can we talk about the food bill for over 30 dogs… I just want their dog food/treat budget!
Oh and can we please, ease get a Natalie guided tour! Ms. Vernon could you set that up!?! I need to get on the waitlist ASAP. Webly sounds like my dream, hoarder rooms and all!
Magan Vernon is a new to me author and after finishing Heired Lines I’m definitely going to be reading more from her. This one is a slow burn British royalty and American commoner romance.
Natalie is fresh out of school, her mother has mounting medical bills when the job opportunity of a lifetime falls into her inbox. A Lord from England needs a curator and she is the perfect person for the job. Lord Gavin is rich, a lord, good looking and kind of comes across as a jerk in the beginning. Two people who wouldn’t normally cross paths are now forced to work together and to fight off their attraction for one another.
This is a slow slow slow burn and I was rooting for Natalie and Gavin from the start. I loved their banter from the beginning and their chemistry once they finally met was great. However, I was also getting frustrated at all the almost moments throughout the book. This story also had somewhat of a fairytale vibe for me with the Lord, a commoner, a wicked mother and of course, a ball.
Heired Lines is a fast paced, slow burn, sweet romance that will have you laughing out loud a few times. For any fans of royal romances this one is a MUST READ.
A modern fairytale. Natalie has a degree and a pile of bills like most 20 something young Americans. She is selling items on EBay to pay her mom’s medical bills when she gets an unimaginable job offer. Gavin has just been made Lord of Wembley when he stumbles upon Natalie’s post about a vase from Wembley. From the moment they connect online sparks are flying. In person it is even more pronounced even as disaster looms. She has to deal with a snobbish family and society rules she is unaccustomed to while they fight their feelings for each other. In the end the heart wins out and the family comes around to give them their fairytale ending.
If you love a slow burn romance, this is the book for you. Natalie is a history and antique lover who is trying to take care of her sick mother and struggling when she gets an email from Gavin questioning her expertise after posting an antique from his small town in England. A small town he happens to be Lord of. After some heated messaging back and forth he gives Natalie the chance of a lifetime and a job that could be the answer to some of her problems. There is some great chemistry right off the bat between Lord Gavin and Natalie but with roadblocks, like a stuck up mother in the way these two have their work cut out for them to make things works. Luckily enough for them an HEA is in the cards.

Natalie wasn’t expecting Gavin to be nobility!
Natalie Reeder was trying to make money to help pay her mother’s medical bills when she offered a vase for sale stamped Webley, England. Natalie was surprised when she was questioned by a possible buyer named Gavin Webley about the vase and after some back and forth, he offered her a job to help clean out his family’s estate in Webley, England. Natalie was surprised that the buyer was Lord Gavin Webley who had inherited the Webley estate from his Great Aunt Sarah. Gavin’s security team had vetted Natalie, but he was surprised that she was more interested in the historical items in the house than she was in him.
Heired Lines is a different twist between nobility and billionaire romances because Gavin knows everything about Natalie, and she couldn’t find him on the internet leading to some fish out of water feelings for both of them.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Heired Lines by Magan Veron a five-star read that jewel of a read. Aaaawww Gavin, you really are a little bit of a grump aren’t you but let’s be honest I think we all would be if we had his family. I really, really liked Natalie she had a little of Great Aunt Sarah’s fire and love of treasure. This was such a fun and flirty read, I love this authors writing as she just makes life funny, its great as she pulls all the different aspects to life and manages to get everything in and make it all make sense, but still be funny and a little naughty. I started this one thinking I would read a couple of chapters before bed, as I’m now working from home I don’t have a long commute so I don’t have to be up so early (thank goodness) so it was great timing, until I couldn’t put it down and stayed up reading till 4am. I’m sat at my home desk in my pjs with a coffee, my hairs a mess and I am present in body if not spirit, but I don’t care, I managed to read this amazing story and have fun regal dreams!! Let your reality be held for a moment especially during these troubling times and enjoy being a lady for a moment, and enjoy this fun ride of a read.
