Standard and very predictable but sometimes that hits the spot.

This was pretty much your run-of-the-mill American meets Brit who is actually a Lord but it was a way more in-depth and historical aspect of the manor he lives. It was a pretty fun read except I do not love the UNC aspect (Go Duke).

I love a good commoner + obscure nobility story.
The heroine is from NC and her family has amazed a lot of debt through college loans and cancer treatments for her mother. Our hero has inherited a castle in Wembley and he needs it cleaned out because his great aunt was a bit of a hoarder.
It is a slow burn. Typically I enjoy that tripe but the pacing in this book was very uneven. It felt a bit like when you are speeding along and your foot slips off the gas pedal and you have a huge drop in speed all at once. The story was choppy somehow and felt off in places.
It is not a terrible book but it will not be one I remember either.

Heired Lines was a likable story and I did for the most part find it engaging to read. As the characters were pleasant, the setting interesting and the storyline relatively drama free. But there was just something about the story, the romance, and most importantly the characters that I didn't connect with, and if I'm honest, I found it a little clichéd and a bit like a Hallmark movie just with added spice. Yet, I can't deny it was sweet and easy to read, and I'm sure fans of the author will enjoy it.

This was such a cute laid back royalty romance! This story gave me such hallmark vibes I couldn’t help but snuggle into my favorite reading chair with a fluffy blanket and get immersed in the story. Heired Lines follows the story of Natalie, an antique curator who lands the job of a lifetime to appraise antiques in England for Lord Gavin—needing the money to help pay for her mother’s medical fees, Natalie jumps on the chance and finds herself immersed in not only the history of the country and all it holds, but also enveloped in everything that is Lord Gavin.
Like I said earlier, this was a super easy and light read. Lord Gavin was definitely swoon worthy and had me pining for my own nobleman. The sexual tension was nothing short of hot as Lord Gavin and Natalie’s slow burn of a romance builds. The book was low on the angst (this is where that hallmark vibe comes in) and Natalie was that cookie cutter heroine you would expect in a contemporary romance, which for me at the time was super refreshing after reading fantasy back to back for a whole month. I loved the ease and dimension that Natalie brought to the story as she helped push Gavin in the best ways and vice versa. The chemistry was great and sweet.
Honestly, this story felt like a great palette cleanser. A feel good story for a feel good kind of moment. The ending was predictable but honestly I didn’t mind it in the slightest as I was so invested in the characters and the warm fuzzies I was getting. So If you are in need for a great feel good romance, I highly recommend you giving this one a go!
Thank you so much to the Publisher and Netgalley for giving me an ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I liked this book! This book started of great! It caught my attention right away! It slowly started to stall out for me around the half way point. It is a definite slow burn! For those that like slow burns you will really like this book! Towards the end it started picking up for me. It just left me wanting more!

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.

If you are looking for a slow-burn, royalty work place story than this is the book for you! Natalie is this budding curator that is trying to pay for her mother's medical bills when she stumbles across an amazing find at a flea market. After she posted the find online she is contacted by Lord Gavin with a job proposal. With an offer she just could not refuse, she jumps at the chance to work with more amazing artifacts in England. Upon arriving and meeting Lord Gavin you can feel the attraction between Lord Gavin and Natalie. As I said this is a slow burn romance but that does not stop the sexual tension that is built up as the story progresses. I really enjoyed this twist of a royalty romance. I really appreciated Magan Vernon sharing with me that her muse for Lord Gavin was Armie Hammer which enhance my enjoyment of the story just a little bit more.

If you don't mind jumping over a few things and letting others go than this is great. It skips over a lot of stuff and you just need to kind of accept it.
The romance is almost instant attraction and it gets hot. I enjoyed that part of the book but everything else just felt super forced.

This is an ARC review. All opinions are solely my own.
Heired Lines by Magan Vernon is a slow burn romance that could be made into a Hallmark movie. This is mostly a clean romance with a small hint of hotness. It does not make the story any less endearing. As someone who is obsessed with historical artifacts and royal families this book really delivered.
Natalie is the newly graduated antiques curator and Lord Gavin has a manor that is a former hoarder's dream. Lord Gavin makes Natalie an offer she can't refuse. From the moment Natalie arrives in England, slapstick hilarity ensues. The awkward moments just keep piling up for Natalie.
The most negative thing I can say about this book is that the cover model does not match the actual hero in the book. It's not horrible but several times in the book Natalie mentions Lord Gavin's golden blonde hair. This model has brown hair with blonde highlights. I don't even know why I noticed this detail.
