“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 listeners will find an irresistible delight.

Captivating and Soothing

Overall a really nice story, in particular at bedtime. The storyline moves slowly at a leisurely pace, and yet captivates, and left me wanting to hear what would happen next. The performance is captivating, and makes you want to listen, although there are a few technical bits about the performance that could be polished, such as, continuing in the voice of a character in the following text of the book. Alternately saying a characters line in a way that is next indicated with an adjective, such as angrily, yet the line was not delivered in such a way as the text suggests. This happens occasionally and it’s some thing that is probably a noticeable to most listeners. The absence of sex scenes is fantastic. The intimacy scenes remind me of the style of intimacy coaching that was used in Bridgerton so successfully. I recommend this book; thoroughly enjoyed it.

Absolutely delightful!

I didn't want to stop listening to it, so much so that I tried to listen while working. 😉This audiobook is absolutely delightful!

So good

This is one of the more PG series (can two books be called a series?) that I have listened to. But it was great. Loved the characters and plot. Narrator did a great job. Thoroughly enjoyable listen.

Fun read

A cute and entertaining book. I enjoyed listening to the story and I didn’t want to pause it until it was over.

Austen fans rejoice.

Great characters. Great story. Loved the ending!!! Finally a romance that’s full of romance. Thank you Sophie Irwin.

Loved it!

It reminded me of Pride and Prejudice. I loved the characters, storyline, and witty dialogue. A quick happy read.

Great Writing!!

Story flows easily and anxiously. Wonderful characters, and the sparing nature's of the two leads!! Great story. Looking for other reads by this author.

What a heart warming love story!

If you love Jane Austen you’ll love this book! The romance is deep and beautiful and the characters are so well developed. I couldn’t put it down! If you like classic romance and happy endings, you’ll enjoy this read tremendously.

Loved this book!!!

I really enjoyed everything about this book! The story, the narrator, the characters all blew me away! It was a charming story of love, resolve and family!

Enemies to lovers done right!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I even listened to the ending twice because I liked it so much!!! If you like jane austen and bridgerton vibes, this book is for you! It’s easy to see the direction the story will take, (ie-rich lord and penniless lady with aspirations to marry rich), but seeing the direction didn’t detract from the quality of the story or the experience as a reader. I genuinely enjoyed myself and felt like this was an accurate portrayal of enemies to lovers!!! Highly recommend!
