Readers who revel in the pages of Jane Austen and appreciate the slow-burning tension of forbidden romance will find themselves captivated by this historical novel. The story features a sharp-witted and intellectually curious heroine who chafes against the rigid societal expectations of her time. As she navigates a world where women's roles are strictly defined, she finds herself drawn to a man who challenges her beliefs and awakens emotions she never thought she could experience. Through witty banter and stolen glances, their connection deepens, forcing her to confront her own hidden desires and question everything she thought she knew about love and her place in the world.

A Delightful Friends-to-Lovers Historical Romance!
Matthew vowed never to marry, so how could Fortuity possibly accept his proposal? When his cousin's scheming left them alone in the library, propriety demanded a hasty engagement. Though Fortuity had always loved Matthew, she was certain he didn’t feel the same. Was she mistaken, or was Matthew simply unwilling to admit the truth? His cousin’s betrayal would bring no shortage of troubles, but could a marriage of convenience turn into something more? Their journey was anything but smooth, but would love triumph in the end?
I thoroughly enjoyed this charming story and highly recommend it to fans of historical romance, especially those who love a heartfelt friends-to-lovers journey.

This historical romance is part of a series that revolves around a family of eight siblings. Seven young women and their brother. This is the second book, and you will meet the characters from the first in this one, so it is better to read them in order. Though each book is a complete story for each sister.

Our heroine, this time, has not got much self-confidence except for her writing. She plans to keep herself by publishing her work. Our hero has been a family friend for years and has sworn off marriage because his heart was broken.

All the characters are wonderful, even the four-legged ones. We get the whole range of emotions. There are plenty of giggles to balance the tears.

I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Great fun.

Fortuity and Matthew have been friends for ages. So much so that they cover for each other in difficult situations. It's no surprise then that Matthew will goes to great lengths to protect Fortuity. With all the chemistry necessary as well as a hefty dose of past relationships and family issues, this is a second wonderfully written story. The Broadmere family adds humor and substance causing the reader to become engaged with the entire family. Can't wait for book three.

Another great read from Maeve Greyson!
I hadn’t read the first book in this series but was able to pick this up and become familiar with the characters and the background of the Broadmere family.
I loved Fortuity and Matthew. Despite their initial insistence at being just friends, the chemistry is undeniable. Conflict and heartache complete their struggle to find love. I’m excited to read about the next sister to make a love match. 5 stars!!

This second book in The Seven Unsuitable Sisters series was a captivating and well written friend to lovers' marriage of convenience romance. It had wonderful characters, humor, wit, and so many emotional issues and problems that kept me entertained. I enjoyed the family members included and how a beautiful love overcame many obstacles. The ending was very nice. I highly recommend reading!

Okay, I finished this book, and I did not even struggle to keep reading, but...

First, the villains in this book were just annoying. I would have squatted them out like a bug. Second, Matthew had 5 years to get over his jilt. Pull up your bootstraps, dude!!

I thought Tuti was relatable. She has been friend zoned enough times to be skeptical of Matthew's change in heart and is insecure. The emotional angst between Matthew and Fortuity was enough to hold the book.

I still hope to read the rest of the series.

The writing is excellent. The premise is great - all seven sisters must be wed until their brother can accept his title. Fortuity is an author and she's been friends with Matthew for years. I became annoyed with them because they refused to be happy for way too long in the book. They have the perfect person right in front of them. Stop arguing!
Thank you to Dragonblade for the copy of this book. Opinions are my own.

Witty and entertaining, I enjoyed this second novel about the Duke of Broadmere's sisters, who have to be happily married and in love, if he is ever to acquire his full inheritance. Broadmere is not always diplomatic about how he goes about achieving success, and he is up against his formidable “flock” of sisters, as they have been coined because they are as adept at putting a spoke in his wheel as he is at making his edicts. Fortuity has suffered from unrequited love for her brother's best friend for more years than she is willing to admit to, but Viscount Matthew Ravenglass is quite determined never to marry, having once been jilted at the altar. Nevertheless, Fortuity and Matthew are good friends and are more than willing to rescue one another at social events. Unfortunately, Matthew is also hosting his widowed aunt and cousin, Eleanor, who has turned out to be malicious and manipulative to the extreme, resulting in Matthew and Fortunity being put in a compromising situation. Matthew will do anything to protect Fortuity, but she refuses to marry a man who does not love her and is only being honorable. Matthew finds a beautifully creative way to persuade Fortuity to marry him, but their troubles are not over as his past comes back to visit him. It takes some more creative thinking to solve their problems and to win her trust in him. I received a copy of this enjoyable standalone romance as a gift through Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley and as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Friends only...

Fortuity has been anything but...She has been carrying a torch for Matthew, a viscount, who was jilted and doesn't want to marry. So these two have been friends only, until someone forces their hand. For some strange reason, Fortuity doesn't want to get it on with Matthew unless he's into her. Matthew is happy going along with blinders on.
There is a large cast of her sisters and one brother and the story moves along at a good clip.

This is a fun series about 7 sisters that need to be married, for love, before their lone brother can inherit. This story is about Fortuity. She prefers to watch and take notes of others at social engagements rather than take part. Her loves are writing romantic stories and a long time family friend. Can she write a happy ending for her and her friend Matthew?

This story touched me deeply. Fortuity loves Matthew deeply, but after a woman left him at the altar he has sworn off marriage. I cried, I laughed, and I cheered for them to find a way to a happily ever after. The addition of animals just made it more amusing and real. This was one of the best stories I've ever read!

Fortuity has a problem….she is in love with a man who refuses to marry . Matthew has a problem…he is a coward when it comes to love. The dance they do around each other is a bit funny and it is only when a very naughty niece gets in the way that things go very wrong. Eleanor is a “mean” girl right down to her toes and her antics are anything but funny. (Had to wonder what she got out of any of her plans!) The author weaves a very tight knit story with the main characters and their families. I adore the 7 sisters. They seem like a chaotic riot waiting to happen. Matthew and Fortuity have that special touch of chemistry-just fills your heart. The pain that Fortuity goes through and her final straw brings the house down around both their ears. (Men just don’t listen sometimes-very frustrating) and it was interesting how the author captured that dynamic . The villain(s) get what was deserved, in very interesting ways-but perfect for these families. I adored Ignacious and the kitties, they were great comic relief ! Well written, well developed and can’t wait for # 3- Grace?

I received the story for free and these are my own opinions.

Aspiring romance writer Fortuity doesn’t care that she’s a wallflower as it enables her more time to skulk in the shadows of the ballroom and scribble down her observations for her characters. However a scheming female sees to it that Fortuity is compromised and she finds herself summarily betrothed, then wedded to her best friend. She is aghast that the man she loves is being forced to marry her out of a sense of duty. Whilst Matthew Ravenglass is not all sorry to be marrying Fortuity, the scandal bringing home to him his true feelings, he finds that his new wife is not ready to believe that he has changed so much. Add in two conniving females and their marriage is looking rocky!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Lady Fortuity Abarough is the Broadmere sister that caught my interest in Blessing’s Baron, Book 1 of Seven Unsuitable Sisters. Studious smart women always intrigue me. Her character is straightforward, secure intellectually, insecure with her looks, and with a twist of stubbornness. Such a cool package in one character. Fortuity takes us through a merry chase as she fights for her beliefs and desires for her life.

Viscount Matthew Ravenglass is a friend of the family and Fortuity has loved him secretly for years, but he doesn’t believe in love or marriage. Watching him deal with Fortuity and a marriage he thought he didn't want was delightful.

Ravenglass’s cousin, who had a prominent role as troublemaker in the first book, plays a main roll in this book causing more problems with her viper personality. Every book needs an evil doer, and she takes the cake.

The author’s storyline was fun, creative, and satisfying.

Lady Fortuity is one young lady that has no interest on the Season but she want to be an author , so when Viscount Matthew Ravenglass see her taking notes she reveal him her passion about writing and he is very proud of her . When they get found alone they must marry and even he never wanted to marry after been left at the altar they marry in name only . Fortuity is in love with Matthew but will she make him love her ?
I received this book from netgalley , the author and the publicer as an ARC . Thank you . All thoughts and opinions are my own .

Lady Fortuity Abarough has always thought of herself as the plainest sister, but she never let it bother her. Her brother, Chance, the new Duke of Broadmere, is relentless in pushing her & her sisters towards the altar. After all, he can’t inherit the full of the estate until all seven sisters are married—happily and in love matches. When Viscount Matthew Ravenglass, a dear friend and the man she secretly loves, catches her jotting down notes at a ball as research for her stories, her secret is laid bare. In a moment of trust, she confides her lifelong dream of becoming a published author and seeing her name on the title page of her books. Rather than laughing at her as she expected, he offers his help since he is well connected in the publishing industry. Their friendship takes an unexpected turn when his meddling cousin Eleanor sets a trap and leaves them no choice but to marry. Fortuity, however, insists on a marriage in name only.
The second book in the series & whilst its easily read on its own the series is about the Abarough sisters so characters do overlap. I really liked both Matthew & Fortuity, they were friends, she’d loved him for ages but whilst he was obviously in love with her he took sometime to realise it. I enjoyed their journey to a HEA but she did annoy me at times especially when she left to go to Blessings, she was like a three year old having a temper tantrum. Communication would have helped. They both had insecurities which they dwelt on a little too much for me

I previously read the first book in the Seven Unsuitable Sisters series and I was curious enough to continue. I knew that the next one featured my favorite sister, Fortuity, and that's all I needed to snatch this up from the catalog. Fortuity, hilariously nicknamed Tuitie, is next in line for the marriage mart and may already have her future groom picked out. Matthew is the best friend of the previous hero and the perfect husband for Tuitie. The only problem is he was jilted at the altar by his previous fiancee and believes love is a hoax. He has genuine feelings for Lil' Toot, but is reluctant to engage in wedded bliss considering his previous unluckiness in love. I loved these two together, but I swear they self-sabotaged their relationship so often it made me wanna scream.

Despite my frustrations with Tuitie, I love the way Greyson writes her heroes. They're kind, charming, and their patience could rival Job. Matthew was a major sweetheart who only cared for Tuitie's happiness, even at the sacrifice of his own. He was willing to have their marriage in name only if that was what she truly wanted. Oof, couldn't be me. That man is a saint. I didn't understand her reluctance to marry him, especially since she said she loved him several times. I don't care if it was a marriage of convenience, you're still marrying him, girl. Wake up and smell the bridal bouquet. I hope the trend of considerate heroes continues and our Abarough sisters can see their true worth without sticking their kid slippers in their mouths at every turn.

I really enjoyed Fortuity's Arrangement and found this sequel surpassed its predecessor. The writing was better, more focus on the couple, and featured a faster pace. This was a great improvement from Blessing's Baron, which was already pretty pleasant. I'm looking forward to the future sisters' romances and their beaus. This series is so sweet and I'm glad Dragonblade published this lovely collection. Tuitie is such a fun nickname that I will definitely be incorporating into my list of endearments, Arrangement or not!

Fortuity and Matthew have always been friends. She loves him even though he says he wishes to remain a bachelor. When they are caught alone together Fortuity is not sure if he marries her for honor's sake or if he actually loves her. Fortuity's insecurities, as well as two evil women, continue to plague their marriage. Can they find happiness? I received an ARC from NetGalley and Dragonblade Publishing for my honest review.

This had a really strong start, and I had believed it would end up surpassing the first. But it lost its momentum.
Ravenwood’s swift 180 on his marriage stance was confusing.
Multiple one note antagonists who only serve to move along the plot. I found the dealings in the last chapter to be over the top and juvenile.
I did question why I was reading this yet I continued to read. And I’ll probably continue the series if I can. So, idk!
..Also the cover gives uncanny valley.
