Very nice take on familiar genre -- if somewhat anachronistic (in this time period, no ducal family would welcome a housekeeper as the next duchess). It's really the characterizations that make this novel, set in the Regency period. The Duke (the eponymous Heir of the title) is nicely fleshed out and appealing without being too "alpha male". The secondary characters help propel the plot along. I recommend to anyone that can be flexible in that the true social strictures of the time are somewhat side-stepped.
