ABOUT THE BOOK
Lady Philippa must wed to gain her fortune and freedom. A former soldier wants only peace and seclusion. Marriage to each other is their best solution.

Lady Philippa Gillensford is three and twenty, an heiress, and sister to a penny-pinching earl. After rejecting every bachelor her mother approves of, Philippa is ready to take her future into her own hands. Though she doubts she’ll marry for love, she is more than willing to marry for freedom from her family’s influence.

Myles Cobbett has withdrawn from Society, content to remain alone after surviving the horrors of the Napoleonic wars. When a friend convinces Myles to attend a ball benefiting wounded veterans like himself, Myles meets the lively Lady Philippa. Shortly thereafter, to help Philippa avoid scandal, Myles rescues her from a complete cad.

Sensing a chance to escape her family’s control, Philippa convinces Myles he must marry her to save her reputation. In exchange for this favor, Philippa promises him the very thing he thought he always wanted: a quiet life, alone in the country.

While the two put on a show of marital happiness for their neighbors, both realize they want much more from this arrangement. Can they take a marriage of convenience and turn it into a love match?

Her Unsuitable Match is a sweet Regency romance and can be read as a stand-alone or as the sequel to Sally Britton's previous novel, His Unexpected Heiress.

It is also part of the upcoming Supposed Scandal series.


REVIEW
I would recommend reading Her Unsuitable Match. The main characters were dealing with a lot of intense situations from battling inner battles, to figuring out a place in society, dealing with bullies, family strife and more. It wasn't necessarily a "relaxing" read, but it was a good read. There was a lot of conflict going on in the story and the characters struggled to find their happy-ending. The villains were entitled, selfish, manipulative and caused a lot of mischief. There were several lessons that could be pulled from this story. The main characters were likeable, felt genuine and grew as the story progressed. I like when characters change and develop in a story. It feels more realistic and you can gain more from the story itself. Her Unsuitable Match was well written and developed, however, I would recommend reading His Unexpected Heiress first. The book mentioned several characters and experiences from the first book and I think it would be better to read as a sequel rather than a stand-alone.
