Regency Romance with a Twist — A Brilliant Match, by Jennie Goutet

From the desk of Laurel Ann Nattress:

Happy Monday after the Thanksgiving holidays to my US readers. I took a few days off and enjoyed myself with lots of turkey, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. I even squeaked in some cyber shopping on Black Friday. How about you?

Today I am thrilled to introduce you to Regency romance author Jennie Goutet’s latest novel, A Brilliant Match. If she is a new-to-you author, then take heed. Jennie has written twelve novels, many of which are bestsellers. Her readers praise her ability to bring the Regency era to life as well as her charming characters, and engaging plots.

As the first book in The Earl’s Sisters series, it is a good time to add A Brilliant Match to your TBR (to be read) list and jump right in. The heroine, Lady Dorothea, is not your typical husband hunting Miss in London. There is a twist. She is determined to find a match to surpass her high expectations. The book description below will give you an idea of her circumstances, and the man she meets who is not on her wish list.

Jennie is offering a generous giveaway chance for a copy of A Brilliant Match and a $25.00 Amazon gift card to one lucky US resident. Please check out the contest and entry details below.

I hope you will give A Brilliant Match a try. It is the perfect escape during the hectic holiday season.

Best, LA

BOOK DESCRIPTION

A love match would not do. She would make an advantageous match—a brilliant match!

At the age of nineteen, Lady Dorothea Rowlandson was practically on the shelf. Had she not suffered her father, the earl’s, untimely death weeks before last year’s season, she would surely by now be a married lady—the established wife of an illustrious peer. With such a regrettable delay, time was ever more of the essence if she wished to secure her own future and that of her sisters.

Miles Shaw holds an encumbered estate. It is only logical, therefore, that he commence the London Season on the hunt for a well-dowered wife. His personal code of honor requires he be upfront about this goal, so that he deceives no one. And as he fully intends to love and cherish the wife of his choosing, he will naturally bring as much to the union as he receives. After all, he is a landed gentleman with no shortage of charm.

When chance forced Miles and Dorothea to partner one another for the first dance of the first crush of the season, Fortuna could only have been in a funning mood. To have fostered so unsuitable a connection was nothing short of absurd. For what could a peer of the realm’s daughter and a gentleman of no consequence, with his pockets to let, possibly have in common?
