An Unsuitable Suitor

A Regency Romance Novella

By: Sally Britton

Narrated by: Andy Garcia-Ruse

Matilda Rayment is determined to protect her sister's interest and her family from ruin, which means she must marry off her flirtatious younger sister before the Season ends. When the Rayments cross paths with Oliver Bolton, the nephew of their steward, his interest in Miss Beatrice threatens all Mattie's plans.

For as long as he can remember, Oliver has dreamed of courting Miss Beatrice Rayment, but never dared reach above his station. He hasn't been a gentleman long, but owning his estate - however small in size - gives him access to new rungs on Society's ladder and finally, his chance has come.

It is up to Mattie to steer Oliver away from making an unhappy match with her sister, but before long she finds herself losing her heart to the steward's nephew. Oliver finds he cares less and less about winning Beatrice the more time he spends in Mattie's company. Can such an unsuitable match take place, or will all their plans be ruined?

Great characters

I enjoyed the character development in this story, and wish I hadn't read the description before I listened to the story because the unfolding of the plot would have been more fun.
This novella is another triumph for author Sally Britton. I always enjoy her stories and immediately find another one to listen to, whatever will I do when I've caught up to everything she's written so far?!
