This book was everything I look for in a book. It was so exciting. The romance was fantastic. It really had me on the edge of my seat, and my heart racing. It was very well written and flowed well. Hit me right in the feels, I cried, I sighed… This book will always lay claim to my heart… Amazing!

When Lady Laura Pomeroy meets Miss Susanna Rochdale, she offers to help her navigate the ton, and give her lessons on how to act when in society. As the daughter of a banker, Susanna hasn't had the same training as most debutantes, and Laura likes her new friend too much to allow her to fail. The only sticking point is Susanna's overprotective older brother, Miles, who was burnt by the aristocracy, and doubts Laura's intentions. He wants to see what Laura is telling Susanna, and is surprised by how witty and smart she is. But he's the son of a banker, and she's a marquess's daughter, they'd never be able to marry.

This was a surprise to me at times. I liked both Miles and Susanna, and thought their chemistry was great. Initially, I was expecting them to be very different people, and that the romance would be a little forced, but they really gelled well with each other. Miles' first foray into society had not gone well, and it had coloured his thoughts on members of the ton. He wanted Laura to be like the other women he had met, but she was kind and open in a way that other society ladies never were. I do wish they had spoken a little more, but I understand why both were guarded. A lovely Regency read.

This was a sweet, enjoyable, and romantic Regency story - definitely on the lighter end of things, Mills and Boon-wise, and a very nice read indeed.

I read this ARC for an honest review
All thoughts and opinions are mine

This is a new author to me
I really enjoyed this

A Season of Flirtation is a Regency Romance and the first in the Less Likely to Wed series. that reveals the social snobbery and social strictures that restricted the lives of those who aspired to be or were part of the Ton. Lady Laura Pomeroy and her family started her life in the country, part of the less important gentry. Her father, unexpectedly, became Marquess of Carmelton. They now have a place in Town and she is enjoying being part of the Season, although she has no desire to get married as she feels this would affect her study and enjoyment of mathematics.
She becomes friends with Susanna Rochdale, a member of a prominent banking family, and agrees to teach her how to flirt and act when trying to catch the attention of someone in the Ton. Her brother, Miles, a banker, also decides to attend these etiquette lessons as he is suspicious of the Ton after getting his heart broken by a debutante previously as a banker wasn’t regarded to have good enough social standing and is waiting for any chance when he can cancel the lessons. He is tall, dark, handsome and an inverted snob. He doesn’t want her to marry someone from the upper class Ton but from their own class, preferably a banker.

Miles discovers that Laura is a kind, lovely person. Unfortunately her father invests her dowry and family money unwisely and it is lost. She loses her position in the Ton and it is though they will have to sell their townhouse and move back to the country. Miles comes up with a plan to save her family’s finances but will they be able to overcome all the other issues and be together?

This is a very gentle romance. The first 2/3 of the book are very slow moving but it does speed up in the latter part. The characters are likeable, drawn together with a love of maths they would be the geeks of yesteryear which is rather sweet. I don’t always enjoy historical romances but this one is rereadable and I look forward to reading the other two in the series.

This Regency romance is an engaging read full of atmosphere, banter and chemistry. I like that the main protagonists have different social statuses, which leads to personal and societal conflicts. The gentle romance mirrors their emotional involvement, and a good cast of historical characters and details make this a lovely book to escape to another time.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.

A sweet clean romance which sticks to the social guidelines of the era for a change. The characters are captivating and it was an enjoyable read. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Lady Laura is helping a Susanna fit in with ton by teaching her how to flirt. When Miles finds out he insists on sitting in with his sister Susanna and keeps a close eye on Lady Laura. I just loved watching this sweet, clean romance story play out. The geek in me enjoyed the nods to mathematics, which they both shared a love for. As always with these books it was the perfect escape

A thoroughly entertaining read, bursting with romance and fascinating Regency period detail.
Our heroine has a passion for mathematics and seems to have found her perfect partner in a handsome young banker...but there are obstacles aplenty to overcome before Laura and Miles find their happy ending. Laura does not want to give up the freedom she enjoys as a wealthy single woman and Miles is struggling to overcome a past disappointment. Then there is the difference in class between the pair and the snobbish attitude of the ton...
But fear not, for all falls into place by the end of this delightful escapist tale!

A lovely, gentle and today turvy romance. Laura is fabulous, kind and believes in equality, just as well as she draws closer to a newly rich, non titled banking family. Miles is a bit of a stick in the mud, but the tales of tonnish life are well portrayed and the generous friends are highlighted against the backdrop of snobbishness.

4.5 stars

A clean read. I think I'd have liked a bit more passion.

Laura is helping Miles's sister deal with the ton. How to behave in balls, how to flirt with desired men and put other fortune seekers off. Miles is not that happy with this as he thinks his sister will be better with a merchant rather than a member of the aristocracy. I wondered if this book is part of a series but goodreads doesn't give me any clues. Laura is keen on maths and so really interested in the fact that Miles is a Banker. Laura's father, the marquess, who is mourning his wife and still recovering from a bad accident. makes a poor investment decision and looses Laura's dowry. Miles sees how the ton treat their own when their own loose reputation and money. He sets out to help but first must make contact with a lady who was possibly going to be his bride. I did enjoy the book but as I say would have liked a bit more passion. Ada (King) Lovelace is mentioned in passing.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I would encourage anyone reading this to not be put off by the fact this is a mills and boon book, as this is a clean romance which sticks to the social guidelines of the era, and is a fantastic read that I couldn’t put down. The characters are captivating, and I am hopeful the author will write another following up on the friends on our heroine. I would heartedly recommend this book!

A lovely story. I can't quite put my finger on why but this was a superb book. The setting and descriptions of the gardens left a clear picture in my mind and into this, the very charismatic characters fitted. The 'hero' and 'heroine' were lovely and of course all worked out well for them. The support characters were an integral part of the story and added to the depth of the book.
