Sense and Suitability

‘An utter delight! Pepper Basham’s debut into the Regency genre sparkles with deft wordplay and a joyous wit. Simon and Emmeline’s story charms on every page, while endearing side characters try their best to steal the show. With clever nods to Jane Austen’s classic, SENSE AND SUITABILITY is everything romance readers adore: sweet, swoony, and perfectly bingeable.’ * Joanna Barker, author of A HEART WORTH STEALING *‘Filled with romantic drama caused by misunderstandings and poor timing, the pace is quick, while the charming characters and their consistently good-hearted approach to dealing with conflicts and other difficulties make this novel sparkle.’ * Booklist *‘SENSE AND SUITABILITY is a sweet, second-chance Regency romance with an Austenesque flair. Pepper Basham brings a modern voice to classic themes, offering keen insights into family and community, while never losing her signature humor. An absolutely lovely read!’ * Mimi Matthews, USA TODAY bestselling author *‘Wow. SENSE AND SUITABILITY is one of the best Regency romances that I’ve read in YEARS. With her signature humor, Pepper Basham has penned an engaging, dreamy tale with a cast of delightful characters and witty dialogue that absolutely sings! I found myself thinking about the hero and heroine while away from the novel, eager to find out how it all ended. This is a must-read for Jane Austen fans!’ * Grace Hitchcock, award-winning author of TO CATCH A CORONET, MY DEAR MISS DUPRÉ, THE WHITE CITY, and THE FINDING OF MISS FAIRFIELD *
