I am a sucker for regency era romance novels. Especially with witty banter and characters that grow. A very modern day Austen-like romance with hints of Bridgerton. I appreciated the author's world that she built around this and I like that ended with not a lot of scandal. I liked the main character, Kitty, and liked that she was not perfect. Cecily was probably my favorite character of it all however.
I will definitely read a book by this author again.

A Lady’s Guide to Fortune-Hunting by Sophie Irwin is an enjoyable debut romance novel set in England's regency era and follows Kitty Talbot, the oldest of five sisters, who is jilted by her fiancé after a long courtship. Kitty was only marrying him so that she and her newly orphaned sisters don't end up destitute. With him going back on his expected offer of marriage to her, she now needs a wealthy husband and fast. The house where she and her sisters live is about to be taken from them if they don't come up with money owed on it. She has twelve weeks to achieve her goal, thereby throwing herself into the London season as she tries to hide a secret that could ruin everything if it became public knowledge. With her parents are dead she feels the weight of responsibility for her sisters.
Focused on her mission, Kitty was assisted by her “Aunt” Dorothy, a friend of her mother’s and able to become immersed in the season. Aunt Dorothy was fun and honest, stepping in at times to keep Kitty from appearing a fool. The snobbery of the ton, the judgment they passed onto those of reduced circumstances, and how the men perceived women and their role in society plays a role in this story. Kitty met her match in James, Lord Radcliffe. They did not like one another and James had soon figured out her intents and worked out her schemes. These two verbally sparred, coerced favors out of one another but very slowly, feelings built. The banter between Kitty and James was amusing while there was almost no romance between them, until there was.
Ms. Irwin wrote a entertaining and enjoyable story that is not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with humorous escapades, clever banter, subtle chemistry and endearing characters giving Kitty and James a chance to fall in love. I highly recommend A Lady’s Guide to Fortune-Hunting to other readers..
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
