Her Unsuitable Match

Supposed Scandal

By: Sally Britton

Narrated by: Jessica Elisa Boyd

Lady Philippa must wed to gain her fortune and freedom. A former soldier wants only peace and seclusion. Marriage to each other is their best solution.

Lady Philippa Gillensford is three and 20, an heiress, and sister to a penny-pinching earl. After rejecting every bachelor her mother approves of, Philippa is ready to take her future into her own hands. Though she doubts she’ll marry for love, she is more than willing to marry for freedom from her family’s influence.

Myles Cobbett has withdrawn from society, content to remain alone after surviving the horrors of the Napoleonic Wars. When a friend convinces Myles to attend a ball benefiting wounded veterans like himself, Myles meets the lively Lady Philippa. Shortly thereafter, to help Philippa avoid scandal, Myles rescues her from a complete cad.

Sensing a chance to escape her family’s control, Philippa convinces Myles he must marry her to save her reputation. In exchange for this favor, Philippa promises him the very thing he thought he always wanted: a quiet life, alone in the country. While the two put on a show of marital happiness for their neighbors, both realize they want much more from this arrangement. Can they take a marriage of convenience and turn it into a love match?

Her Unsuitable Match is a sweet regency romance and can be listened to as a stand-alone or as the sequel to Sally Britton's previous novel, His Unexpected Heiress. It is also part of the Supposed Scandal series.

Sweet romance

I loved this book from Sally Britton. Her books always captivate me. The narration was great, really brought the characters to life. I liked how Philippa and Miles meet. I love the ending and epilogs make me happy!

Best of best narrators!

The more I read of this author’s works, the more I want to read of them. What has made them especially well done for me is absolutely my favorite narrator ever! Her talent is amazing.

Sweet love story

Excellent narrator. A well written story line. The characters personalities are well described in this story.

A new favorite by Sally Britton

I think I might have a new favorite book by Sally Britton. Her Unsuitable Match was delightful in so many ways and is 4.5 out of 5 stars for me! First off, it’s marriage of convenience, which is one of my favorite tropes. Add to that a hero (Myles) battling some deep wounds who’s valiant and incredibly kind, a heroine (Philippa) who’s fiercely independent, and conflicts that help them both grow and become more, and you’ve got a regency romance well worth reading. I personally listened to the audiobook and loved how the choice of narrator added to the story. This is definitely a book I’ll be returning to in the future.

*Thank to Sally Britton for an audio version of this book. All opinions are my own.

Heartwarming

This was a beautifully written, heartfelt, “unexpected” love story. My heart is always ready to listen and enter warmly into stories involving a war hero — and Myles took my heart early on in this one. What other heroes can compare to such men? Pippa, whose life was very different to say the least, had her own brokenness that, although she didn’t realize it, only tenderness and warmth and family could heal.

Heartwarming is the best word I can think of to express my feelings as I contemplate this book. In addition I love how Sally Britton brings so many of her characters from previous stories into play in each of her books. Just charming.

I also listened to parts of the book on Audible as I often do, and this narration was very well done. Highly recommended.
