Fun to read
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.

Read if you like bad boys with soft centers.
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 love Sutton!
You are not going to be happy if you miss the opportunity to read this series. These characters are absolutely wonderful. Didn’t think I would find a family I could love more than the winters. But I was wrong.

excellent!
Intriguing, complex, well written characters with great emotions and intelligence! A delightfully twisted storyline, with numerous subplots that leave you wondering where everyone will end up! Well done, Ms Scott! I look forward to reading more!

Great Detail
New author for me. Although the ending felt a bit rushed, her detail around the sensual aspects is superb. Even though the overall plot was not a surprise, there were some surprising details. I am left wanting to read the next book in the series.

Loved this story!
I loved this story and read it in a day! What a great start to a new series! The characters were so engaging and from the complete opposite ends of society. Lady Octavia, a member of the aristocracy and Jasper from the tough part of the east end. The attraction between them was instant, although they had yet to acknowledge it themselves. The twins were exactly like young ones, picking up words you would rather them not! Octavia was a caring lady but she had something she was intent on accomplishing. There was a glimpse of a mystery, yet to be solved. I’m looking forward to reading the next in the series.

He has just been landed with his 6yr old twin daughters (who he knew nothing about). He needs to find a wife, Lady Octavia is very annoying but he can't resist her

A wonderful start to this spin-off series
This is a wonderfully crafted start to this steamy spin-off series, that follows the great Wicked Winter's series of books. The characters are all amazingly portrayed, and have some brilliantly crafted trials to overcome.
