This is my favorite story if Jennie's. Well done. A different type of story from many others. I love her different plot types.

An interesting plot, with good characters, and the London season for a back drop. I enjoyed it all...except for the young Lord Pool, who will no doubt appear in the rest of the series. At 14, he is the typical spoiled upper class young man. But he was will hopefully provide entertainment as he ages!

Jennie Goutet never disappoints! I sincerely hope this is the beginning of another series! A Brilliant Match is engrossing, delightful and was hard to put down; a satisfying read!

First book I have read by Jennie Goutet, and I was not disappointed. Good, heartfelt story. Can't wait for the next one!

I loved this new book by Jennie Goutet. It is beautifully written. The growth in maturity and self-awareness experienced by both of the main characters kept me involved and revealed them both as admirable people. I'm looking forward to the stories of the young Earl and his other sisters as well.

I enjoyed this book. I didn't like the heroine at first but she grew on me. Nice exploration of romance where money and titles were part of the mix.

The story is much more interesting than one gleaned from the synopsis, and it feels true to the period. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next one in the series.

As usual, Jennie has writes a splendid story in which the deep character development creates authentic personalities. Miles is my favorite for the honorable way in which he behaves with charm, kindness, and confidence. Even though he is in search of a wife, he wants a love match despite his pecuniary considerations. Unfortunately, he almost immediately realizes Dorothea is the woman he wants. However, she seeks a brilliant match to a rich husband who has a title. Her reasons are due to her planning futures for her sisters to be brilliant. To complicate matters, her brother is a teenage Earl who is determined to do anything he desires regardless of propriety. Miles walks a thin line in revealing his situation. His cousin, Viscount Robert Throckmorton, is the heir to their grandfather, the Earl of Pembroke. “Rock” is very key to the climax in this story. Honesty and thoughtfulness are among Miles’ best qualities, so he is careful in what he says. When he trusts the truth to Dorothea, he suffers rejection. Actually, she has many opportunities to witness how gallant and thoughtful Miles really is. So hope survives. There is a climax well worth the wait. Then a very unique proposal happens. I am sincerely glad to know I will again meet these characters in the next books of this series !

I enjoyed this story very much, but to be honest it took a bit to fully grab me. I had to get to “know” the characters and then I was invested. A strong story plot with characters that kept me interested in their story. Both the hero and heroine were considered “unsuitable “ by society. One by lack of title and wealth. The other without connections and knowledge of society. Where they both lacked, they had what the other needed. One had charm and knowledge of social expectations and the other had wealth and title. While their paths crossed and sparks fly there seems to be a big difference and divide that is between them that keeps them apart. I loved the self discovery and growth the characters had and how they changed for the better. I look forward to seeing the remaining family members find their own happiness in future books.

I just love a happily ever after with main characters that you want to cheer for and somehow help along. I especially liked the hero, and how his heroine grew. I am hopeful to read more about the Poole family, and Rock... I'll be keeping an eye out for future books in this series

Jennie Goutet almost never disappoints. I loved the authenticity of the characters. The heroine began to mature as the novel developed and to become more settled and realistic in her expectations. And Miles, wow, I believe he is my favourite among Goutet's male leads. A very likeable young man who demonstrated far more nobility than those titled gentlemen who were his rivals. I thoroughly enjoyed this read.

Great start to a series! Beautifully written and the main couple is a brilliant match. Highly recommend this one!!

Loved these characters and their financial and status dilemmas ♥️ 😂 So romantic, engaging and amusing— Such a delightful read!

A strong start to this new series! Dorothea is the daughter of an earl and is seeking a titled, wealthy husband. She meets Miles who is neither of those things (in fact he is in serious need of money) but who is handsome and sweet. Dorothea did a lot of growing in this book (something I always appreciate) before she could realize the importance and desirability of having a love match. I loved that her family was so important to her, though her view of them was another area of growth for her. I also enjoyed how Miles brought out the best in her and inspired her to be even better. I enjoyed this first book in this new series, and I look forward to reading more about Dorothea's sisters
