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

Radcliffe’s banter with Kitty is charming and their strong love-hate connection is what elevates the story further. Jane Austen taught me that fortune-hunters are ruthless villains but I’m glad that Sophie Irwin proved her wrong. 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. La sinopsis del libro puede revelar parte de la trama y, dado que yo la leí, el principio se me hizo muy obvio (casi como el final). Kitty though never shies away from the mercenary charge and maybe more than any heroines I've encountered in romance, she makes a persuasive case for why women should be praised for their ambitions and why men and a classist society should be mocked openly for their hypocrisy.

I loved how this book shone light on the snobbery of the ton and the judgement passed on those of reduced circumstances and how the men perceived women and their role is society. The only person she can’t fool is Lord Radcliffe, who sees straight through her plans, and is determined to stop her at any cost. I thought Martyr was going to be a literary no-brainer for me, a novel that I wouldn't even have to think about because it was pretty much guaranteed that I'd love it. De hecho se cuece a fuego muy lento lo que hay entre Kitty y lord Radcliffe, casi hasta el final y aviso de que es novela blanca.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. If you like sweet romance with characters who are charming, full of humor and wit this is also for you. Sad to report that for a book that sounded so fun and had lots of hype, this was such a disappointing read. 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.

I had heard much praise for Sophie Irwin's debut novel, and whilst I wouldn't rank her among Heyer or Austen, this was certainly a delightfully fun read. Infelizmente, o seu noivo, cancela o casamento e Kitty vê-se obrigada a ir para a temporada londrina à procura de marido.And so, while it is nice to have a relatable heroine, and undoubtedly, me - a modern woman should find it easy to bond with someone who thinks and feels along similar lines - I don't want a modern woman ravaging all things regency. A Lady’s Guide to Fortune-Hunting is Sophie’s debut novel and it has already sold in twenty territories worldwide.

I won’t mince words here: this was a very, very bland book, not a single shred of personality to be found anywhere. This book is designed for the screen, I can already imagine the scenes, and I hope it will be made into a film one day. 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. Her love and passion for historical fiction bring a breath of fresh air and a contemporary energy to the genre, and Sophie hopes to transport readers to a time when ballrooms were more like battlegrounds. Irwin from the very off makes it perfectly clear why Kitty is pursuing a rich suitor, and throughout the course of the book, Kitty's devotion to her sisters never waivers, even at the potential sacrifice of her own happiness.

What I liked most was the constant emphasis on money and the heroine refusing to be apologetic about fortune-hunting. I loved how they were always drawn to each other on the edges of the room and approached each other with full honesty. She is shocked to find out that their family farm in Dorsetshire is heavily in debt and that Kitty and her 4 sisters are penniless.

También sabe que los afectos de su hermano menor no son correspondidos y no dejará que Archie se case con una cazafortunas. In our over-sexualised era, it is perhaps inconceivable to fall in love with anyone without even touching them, but it is enough to read this book to see that this is entirely possible.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.
