3 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
"Bridgerton fans will swoon over this entertaining romp through Britain's Regency-era high society."--People A Lady's Guide to Fortune Hunting is a sharp, modern, and absolutely delicious take on the marriage plot. Sophie Irwin's debut is one of the most fun, romantic books I've read in a long time. I cannot wait to see what she does next. --Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Malibu Rising A whip-smart debut that follows the adventures of an entirely unconventional heroine who throws herself into the London Season to find a wealthy husband. But the last thing she expects is to find love... Kitty Talbot needs a fortune. Or rather, she needs a husband who has a fortune. Left with her father's massive debts, she has only twelve weeks to save her family from ruin. Kitty has never been one to back down from a challenge, so she leaves home and heads toward the most dangerous battleground in all of England: the London season. Kitty may be neither accomplished nor especially genteel--but she is utterly single-minded; imbued with cunning and ingenuity, she knows that risk is just part of the game. The only thing she doesn't anticipate is Lord Radcliffe. The worldly Radcliffe sees Kitty for the mercenary fortune-hunter that she really is and is determined to scotch her plans at all costs, until their parrying takes a completely different turn.... This is a frothy pleasure, full of brilliant repartee and enticing wit--one that readers will find an irresistible delight.

This is definitely your run-of-the mill regency romance. No spice at all, just a very brief kissing scene at the very end; it‘s definitely a slow-burn romance, and the banter between the love interests is well-done. Not quite enemies to lovers, as the love interests pretty quickly get over their initial conflict and become friendly before it develops into more. I appreciated the FMC‘s single-minded commitment to providing for her sisters.

Kitty has to quickly find a husband to save her and her four sisters from bankruptcy after their father‘s death. She has no choice but to marry for money, but when she sets her sights on Mr. de Lacey, his brother, Lord Radcliffe, knows what‘s up. He tells her to leave his brother alone, and she concedes - if he helps her find a wealthy husband. Enemies to lovers/slow burn in a funny book. It‘s a clean romance, which is maybe one thing I‘d change.

This was just the sort of palate cleanse I needed. Easy to read and charming, it was a delight and just what my frazzled brain needed right now. 👍
