A Lady’s Guide to Fortune-Hunting: The Sunday Times #3 Bestseller - a swoonworthy regency romance. ‘Will fill the Bridgerton-shaped hole in your life’ Red

Product Information

This is a book that puts it all out in the open, especially in the many debates Kitty and Radcliffe exchange as they negotiate her place in his insular world. Sophie Irwin's book 'A Lady's Guide to Fortune-Hunting' was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 09-05-2022. It's essentially a battle of wills between an upper-class eldest son hellbent on stopping a mercenary and impoverished young woman from marrying into his family.

In truth, I devoured them by meters, and the fact that they only ever tell one story under different names was never a factor strong enough to dissuade me. And although overall I really liked the various conversations between Kitty and Radcliffe, to me there was always something a little off about their relationship. Some of these books I DNFd after a number of chapters (some books I didn't even include in this list because as soon as I started reading them I was just like "immediately no"). I enjoyed the ending of the book and I think it rounded the story very well, I can’t wait to read the second book in the series.Radcliffe’s banter with Kitty is charming and their strong love-hate connection is what elevates the story further. stars - Really gave me Pride and Prejudice vibes and I have heard its great for fans of Bridgerton - but thankfully, this is without the spice and totally clean! The characters’ personalities and motivations are painfully simple: Kitty is the Scheming One Who Needs to Find a Husband, Lord Radcliffe is the Uptight One Who Wants to Foil Her Plans, Arthur is the Lovable Idiot Who Feels Abandoned by His Brother. With her cunning ways and eagerness to make a mercenary match, it could have been quite easy to dislike her, however, that was never the case. Her love and passion for historical fiction bring a breath of fresh air and contemporary energy to the genre.

The extent of the romantic development we get here is like two scenes where the characters talk about Deep Stuff and then next thing you know, they’re in love!

Sophie Irwin’s book ‘A Lady’s Guide to Fortune-Hunting’ was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 09-05-2022. I would have assumed Kitty’s character to have a very perky voice but the narration made her sound very muted.

And so, I stopped indulging myself, and it was with a slight generous dose of hesitation that I started A Lady's Guide to Fortune-Hunting. I also liked how Irwin showcased the snobbery at play within high society, and also how few options women in the era had to ensure their own security. While that's OK, I mean you don't always need to have a plot twist or be on tender hooks for every book you read, I wouldn't have minded something a little unpredictable.The characters' personalities and motivations are painfully simple: Kitty is the Scheming One Who Needs to Find a Husband, Lord Radcliffe is the Uptight One Who Wants to Foil Her Plans, Archie is the Lovable Idiot Who Feels Abandoned by His Brother. A Regency Romance where the eldest daughter of a family of five girls must marry for money or she and her sisters will be homeless. I simply couldn’t put it down and immediately hoped after turning the last page that this author has more tricks up her sleeve because I am her newest fan!

The ending had the kind of heart-fluttery tenderness that made me want to pause and immediately re-read! This is a clean read that has enemies to friends and may a bit of How to Marry a Millionaire thrown in. Pero no dejó de ser un libro entretenido e intrigante que, como he dicho, me dejaba con ganas de seguir leyendo. I loved how they were always drawn to each other on the edges of the room and approached each other with full honesty. All things seem to be going her way until a veteran of Waterloo catches wind of what she might be plotting.

Altogether, my fundamental problem here is that this book lacks any kind of depth; it’s a very paint-by-the-numbers Regency “historical fiction” with a romance thrown in, and you can really feel that reading it. Miss Irvin, you must, I do beg you, tell us what happened to Cecy and Montagu, how life has treated sweet Beatrice and romantic Jane. Ms Irvin doesn't need them to consummate anything because she is quite skillfully fanning the flames through other means, and the repertoire is ample. Kitty no busca cazar un noble o alguien socialmente superior a ella, se conforma con que su marido sea rico y pueda saldar sus deudas. Kitty was a young woman on a mission, head of her family with four sister dependents to secure a future for.
