Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Cathy Maxwell begins a spectacular new series, the Gambler’s Daughters. Three aristocratic sisters must use their wits and wiles to make their ways in Regency London...only to learn the path to making a brilliant society marriage isn’t easy—especially when Love gets in the way!
To Marry a Duke…
Once there were three Irish sisters—Gwendolyn, Dara, and Elise—who had to fend for themselves when their gambler of a father disappeared, leaving them with an unscrupulous cousin. Dara hatches a daring plan: they gamble what little they own to finance a London season. Her goal: to use their looks and their wits to find a duke to marry for each sister!
It seems her crazy plot might work when the sisters are declared the “Incomparables” of the Season. Dukes and lords line up at their door, but bold women and scandal always go hand in hand. Particularly when Dara’s plans are challenged by the likes of Michael Brogan, who provokes Dara as much as he tempts her. The handsome, clever, and rising politician is definitely not a duke, but he’s determined to teach her about ambition, men, and, above all, love, making Dara wonder if her plans are about to change.
Customer Reviews
Plans change for the better
Rules of society are to be followed, not to be bent or broken, in “A Kiss in the Moonlight” a Gambler’s Daughters novel by Cathy Maxwell!!
Taskmaster Dara Lanscarr and her sisters must marry dukes for a better life, so they attend the London marriage market with their aunt, Dame Eleanor aka Tweedie. However, Dara breaks a couple rules for good reason and her scandalous behavior leads her to face the fact that she is desired!
I love the sarcasm especially from Dara in the beginning, and from all sisters throughout the book! Tweedie’s hilarious mockeries are in the form of theories and thoughts that accompany Dara’s rules at the beginning of each chapter.
I enjoy the different types of mysteries in the book! Dara helps her beau Mr. Michael Brogan solve a treason. One sister gets hurt over the union and her actions are a mystery to her family. The other sister seems to be admired by a hot, mysterious person.
The middle-child with the “average looks” gets the ring first however it takes a direct guy, the right guy, to make the direct girl see the beautiful truth! I highly recommend this book!
Thank you to Net Galley, Avon, and Harper Voyager US for the ARC in exchange for a honest review.
