About this listen
Hear the most captivating historical debut of the year!
Kitty Talbot needs a fortune. Love is not required…
She’s got just twelve weeks to find a rich husband and save her sisters–and she must use every ounce of cunning and ingenuity she possesses to climb London society if she is to succeed.
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.
There is not a day to lose and no one–not even a lord–will stand in her way…

Critic reviews
"This book captivated me. What a sassy, witty, delicious tale. Kitty Talbot is a fabulous, fearless heroine." (Sophie Kinsella, The Party Crasher)
"A thoroughly modern heroine with wit, style and energy…a formidable Austentacious talent." (Janice Hallett, The Appeal)
"Plucky, witty and bright, with one dainty slipper poised in the present and another one firmly rooted in the past. Readers of Jane Austen and fans of Bridgeton will swoon." (Nita Prose, author of The Maid)

I couldn't turn off this novel. I found myself walking around the house with headphones on just to be able to listen to it!

A glorious story
Loved this tale of spirited Kitty forced to hunt a fortune for her impoverished family. Witty, twisty and utterly compelling - the new Jane Austen is here!

Most Enjoyable!
Easy listening with enjoyable plot. Wonderful characters, humorous and exaggerated.
The underlying message is however, timeless- acceptance of others for who they are, irrelevant of wealth or status

Great story and narration
I enjoyed this book so much I ended up listening to it all through the night!
A captivating, witty Regency Romance with a courageous and capable heroine.
I found it extremely well read although I must admit I speeded it up a tad to 1.5.
More of the same please.

A witty and fun Regency drama
A witty and fun Regency period drama following the vivacious Kitty as she determines to find a wealthy husband in order to save her family from ruin. As the eldest, it is down to her to save them from debts left by her father. However, Kitty doesn't have access to the finer society parties due to her birth, so she relies on her wily ambitions to secure an alternative entrance into popular society. Her nemesis Radcliffe stands in the way, but soon finds himself embroiled in a plan to help her access the finer parties. There are plenty of nods to Austen's Pride and Prejudice and all the wit of Bridgerton. The focus remains on Kitty and Radcliffe and gives both their narrative POVs. There is much witty repartee between the pair. A thoroughly fun read. #aladysguidetofortunehunting #ladysguide #Sophieirwin #regencyperiod #drama #romance #theton #fortunehunting #historical #netgalley

Feel good book
It took a couple of chapters to get into this book as I wasn’t sure what to expect. But once I did, it was warm, enjoyable and well written. I really enjoyed it

fun but well focused tale
Loved the theme of the young lady scheming to save her family's fortunes through marriages to rich men-- she aimed high and got there in the end but not by the route she planned...
