A Lady's Guide to Fortune Hunting by Sophie Irwin

4.0

 

Historical fiction is one of my favourite genres and this book certainly didn’t disappoint. From the off this was a fun and witty read and this is perfect for lovers of regency era England. This is the author’s debut novel, and after a book like this, I am really looking forward to her next book. 

 

Kitty Talbot was such a smart, quick witted, and loving character and I hope the next book includes her! 

 

This book is a prefect read for lovers of Bridgerton and Pride and Prejudice. Although in saying that, this is the perfect regency romance, unlike Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton, there is only limited physical contact between Kitty and the male characters, but I think that is what makes it that bit different and refreshing. I also liked the character of Kitty as she made it VERY clear at all times that she was really only there as a fortune hunter, and once that outcome had been achieved, you wouldn’t see her for dust! 

 

Overall, a really good book to lose yourself in and be transported back to regency England and the trials and tribulations of society life.
