"After caring for a crotchety countess, Patience Ramsey wants a more purposeful position. So, when Miss Thorn of the Fortune Employment Agency offers her the post of assistant to amateur apothecary Augusta Orwell, Patience jumps at the chance. Then her new employer introduces her at an Easter house party as the bride-to-be of her nephew Sir Harold Orwell. Miss Thorn’s cat Fortune may approve of Sir Harry, but Patience has no interest in borrowing the handsome baronet. She’s had her heart trampled on by false promises before.
Sir Harry has enough on his hands trying to restore the family name while spying for the English against the French. But the pretty Patience could cover for him when he must ply his trade during the house party, so he convinces her to agree to the charade. As Harry’s work brings danger closer, he begins to realize Patience embodies everything he could want in a wife. Can he convince her to overlook the scandals surrounding him and exchange their false engagement for a true love?
This sweet, clean Regency romance is the sequel to Never Doubt a Duke. Fortune’s Brides: Only a matchmaking cat can hunt true love."

Banter, and wit and winks!
Oh my!
I am seriously LOVING this series. Regina is hooking me from the first page and I don't want to set the book down until I finish the story! That's high praise coming from me since I have to read them in e-book form...which I am NOT the biggest fan of!
This book starts out with a FAKE ENGAGEMENT troupe!!! Guys my heart soared when I figured out we were getting this story line. *happy sigh*
Plus it was kind of an awkward fake engagement -- I mean more than normal. But second hand embarrassment is my favorite. 😆
K, but ON TOP of the already amazing fake engagement, we get...ESPIONAGE. HOW GREAT IS THAT?!
I loved all of the characters!
Patience was so sweet and meek that her little outburst of outspokenness were SO FUN to read!
Sir Harold was SUCH a fun character! I love when they "play" the rake...SO MUCH FUN. Even though he was trying to be bad to the bone, he was a gentleman through and through. I really loved seeing him work both worlds.
The secondary characters were wonderful as well and I have a feeling we'll be seeing them in future book. *insert evil laugh*
There was SO much wit and banter and WINKS! Oh man my heart! I LOVED IT!! *swoons*
I cannot express to you how stinkin' excited I am for the rest of the series, and I cannot wait to get them all in paperback so they can sit pretty on my shelves!!!
I rated this a 4.5/5 stars!
Quotes:
He eyed her a moment. “Who are you, exactly?”
“Patience Ramsey, your aunt’s new assistant.”
He reared back. “I will not allow Gussie’s preparations on my person.”
Patience raised her brows. “Are they so horrid?”
“You’ll have to ask the previous assistant. I believe she finally regained the use of her fingers, but I expect that rash will last for some time.”
