Sophie Irwin’s irresistible debut takes you on a rollicking romp through Regency England. A Lady’s Guide to Fortune Hunting is a must for lovers of Jane Austen, Bridgerton and historical romance.
Like so many before her, Kitty Talbot must hook a rich husband to save her family from financial ruin. When her one moneyed option in the country evaporates, Kitty heads to London just before the Season begins. But ingratiating herself with the ton and learning to navigate the social mores isn’t as easy as she imagined. While Kitty may not have the breeding of the gentry, she’s got wit and cunning on her side. Until one man, Lord Radcliffe, sees her exactly for what she is: a fortune-hunter. He cuts her a deal to keep her away from his brother but finds himself in an altogether unexpected situation…actually helping her pull off her plan!
All the superlatives have been thrown at this one, and they’re well deserved. A Lady’s Guide to Fortune Hunting is an utter delight, full of sass, laughs and wit. The marriage plot is central, so the romance is a bit of a slow burn, no sexy times. I loved it. It’s a don’t miss.

With The Comeback, Lily Chu delivers her second celebrity romance, featuring lawyer Ariadne Hui and K-Pop star Choi Jihoon. Jihoon, her roommate’s cousin, crashes at their place after a breakup. And it’s not long until Ariadne finds herself falling for him. But in the glare of the spotlight, being associated with a superstar isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I don’t know what it means, but the blurb says, “Now with her heart, her future, and her sense of self on the line, Ari will have to cut through all the pretty lies to find the truth of her relationship…and discover the Ariadne Hui she’s finally ready to be.”
