Sutton's Spinster: A Wicked Winters Spin-off Series (The Sinful Suttons Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 5,292 ratings

From USA Today bestselling author Scarlett Scott comes a deliciously wicked new Regency series...

Jasper Sutton, London’s most dedicated scoundrel, needs a wife. He needs one quickly. He needs one yesterday, in fact. His requirements are precise. She has to be capable of mothering the wild twin daughters who have unexpectedly appeared in his life. She must also possess the patience of a saint and the understanding of an angel. Better still if she is plain and has no expectation of a true marriage. He is not about to reform his ways. But how is he to find such a paragon of womanly virtue when a troublesome, maddening baggage keeps haunting his gaming hell and getting herself into scrapes?

Lady Octavia Alexander, the ton’s most dedicated spinster, has no need of a husband. She is quite firmly and happily on the shelf, a devoted aunt to her beloved nieces and nephews. But she does harbor one illicit dream: she wants to start her own newspaper devoted solely to scandal and gossip. What better way to do so than to immerse herself in the sordid underworld of the East End? There is just one problem standing in the way of her plans, and his name is Jasper Sutton. But Octavia won’t abandon her independence and her future for an unscrupulous rogue. No matter how handsome he is, and regardless of how irresistible his kisses.

Between running his family’s gaming hell, chasing after his wayward daughters, and keeping Lady Octavia from being robbed, spirited away by some enterprising criminal, or worse, Jasper is losing his patience. Even more concerning? He’s beginning to fear the only woman he truly wants to marry is the vexing lady who has sworn she will never wed. All he has to do is change her mind and win her heart.

Heat level: Scorching HOT! Don't say you weren't warned.

    Historical romance is not my normal cup of tea but this book was so good! It was written in the format of a contemporary novel with the verbiage and setting of 1800’s London.

    This story was so fun to watch them blossom from marriage of convenience to a love match ❤️❤️

    He never thought he wanted a wife and children until children were deposited on his doorstep and one Lady Octavia made his blood boil in the most primal of ways.

    He put a ring on her finger and fell in love faster than he knew what to make of it ❤️❤️

    Overall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
    Steam: 🔥🔥🔥

    After devouring all of the Wicked Winters by Scarlett Scott, I needed Jasper's story. He was the perfect bad boy that you knew would be devoted to his partner in that growly, dominant way. When Sutton's Spinster came out, I was so excited and so satisfied. 

    Jasper Sutton the head of his family's gambling den needs help. Twin daughters he never knew have landed on his doorstep bringing chaos. Lady Octavia Alexander also needs help. She wants to start her own scandal journal and believes Jasper is just the man to help her. As the story enfolds, these two find that they may just be the answer to each other's problem. In doing so, they also ignite a passion to hot to tame.

    The best part about this book was Jasper. Yes, I did also love fierce and independent Octavia,  but Jasper brought all of the feels. There is something about a bad boy who loves his family that just has you wanting more.

    Like the Wicked Winters, the start of this new series focused on the Suttons perfectly balances the heat and the excitement. I loved watching the relationship between Octavia and Jasper develop. This is a quick book so it got right to the steamy parts without wasting too much time on unnecessary storyline.

    I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick, fun read. It brings the range of emotions in a delightful snack size. You won't regret picking up a copy on Kindle Unlimited.

    I was excited for this, the premise of Scott’s books typically sound good and have enticing troupes, but as I read more of her works, they just seems to fall a little flat. Possibly because they’re too short.

    Why was Octavia’s sister hardly in this book? Especially after the marriage? Why was it presented to the reader as a marriage of convenience but was really a manipulations/forced marriage? That kind of turned me off of Jasper.
    The girls needs to be more present in the book as they’re part of the central storyline. It often seems Scott is more focused on sex scenes than flushing out her book/characters. Which is too bad since the stories are compelling. Why not keep the long detailed sex scenes but also round the story out? It would elevate her as a historical romance author.

    I was not a fan of the magical penis that seems to fix everything when there are major issues with the marriage.

    Will give Jasper points for straightening things out about the cheating and realizing how he was wrong and how he needed to change and grow now that he was a father and husband.
    Could have done without the attack on Octavia, it really didn’t add to the story, and I would have preferred for Jasper to mature and grow and be vulnerable without her nearly dying. Also why didn’t Mirabelle come around during this?

    The hero is a mass of contradictions. Hard, often uncouth, unflinchingly loyal to family, brutal when necessary, and brought low by his desire for the heroine. She is a self-proclaimed, happy spinster eager to start her own gossip journal, and she is seeking the hero’s help as owner of a gaming hell. Sparks fly as these two stubborn souls clash.

    To complicate matters, the hero has recently inherited responsibility for his illegitimate twin daughters who were abandoned by their alcoholic mother upon the gaming hell steps. The hero needs a wife because his daughters are barely tame and need the guidance of a mother. Fortunately for the hero, the heroine makes herself an easy target to fill the role.

    Thus ensues a steamy marriage of convenience with a little intrigue thrown in. It is an entertaining read, but I was hoping that the heroine’s writing endeavor would have featured more prominently as a tool to drive the plot. It would have made the heroine more interesting because after the first several chapters, her wings were clipped first by her sister and then her new husband.
