An Unsuitable Suitor

About This Audiobook

Matilda Rayment isn’t just another sharp-tongued spinster in this Regency romance—she’s a financial savior in petticoats, scrambling to salvage her family’s crumbling estate by marrying off her reckless younger sister before the Season’s end. The catch? The sister in question has eyes only for a charming rogue, and Matilda’s forced to navigate London’s treacherous marriage mart with a poker-straight spine and a heart that might be softer than she lets on. Sally Britton’s writing crackles with wit and tension, blending the precision of Jane Austen with the emotional stakes of a modern romantic thriller. You won’t just root for Matilda—you’ll ache to see if her carefully constructed plans will crumble under the weight of her own secrets and the very unsuitable suitor who refuses to be pushed aside."

"Matilda’s journey is a masterclass in reluctant heroism, where duty clashes with desire in ways that feel achingly real. The supporting cast is a delight—a smarmy duke with a hidden conscience, a wallflower with a surprising backbone, and a hero who’s equal parts infuriating and irresistible. Britton’s dialogue shines, delivering barbed compliments and flirtatious volleys with effortless charm. But what truly elevates this story is its refusal to sugarcoat Regency-era realities: financial ruin, societal expectations, and the brutal trade-offs women faced when marriage was their only currency. The pacing is tight, the stakes high, and the emotional payoff deeply satisfying—even if the HEA feels just a touch too tidy for the chaos of the journey.
