Publisher Description
There’s no such thing as luck…
Once a lady, reduced to a governess, Emilia Greene is desperate. The child in her care has been left orphaned and penniless, and Emilia will do anything to protect her—even track down the girl’s only relation. That man would be the next Viscount Sydenham, and surely he’ll be gentleman enough to take care of his cousin.
Or scruples…
Unfortunately, that man is Nicholas Dashwood, the dangerously attractive owner of the notorious Vega Club. He’s no gentleman, and he doesn’t want a title. What Nick needs… is a governess, for his younger sister.
When your heart is at stake
Their precarious bargain throws them together in unsettling proximity, until neither can deny their attraction to each other. But Nick has enemies, and Emilia has secrets, and taking a gamble on happily-ever-after could cost them everything.
The final book in the Wagers of Sin series
Customer Reviews
A pleasant read
This was a nice read, a bit predictable at times and uneventful. The main character kept berating himself and saying what a bad person he was, etc but he never displayed any of those traits. Not once. Think the author got too repetitive with it. It was enjoyable nonetheless.
Delightful
This is the fourth book in the Wagers of Sin series, but stands alone well. As it turned out, I had forgotten most of the previous three books (they came out a few years ago) but that did not take away from the story. You’ll find yourself wanting to read the first three books, though.
The main characters, Emilia and Nick, are both likable people concerned with doing the right thing. Emilia finds herself responsible for a young charge, and applies to Nicholas for help, etc. They both have some secrets they’re reluctant to share, but I liked how the plot didn’t hinge on “if you’d just TALK to each other this wouldn’t be an issue!” The side characters really add to the story without distraction here, they’re vital to both the plot and to Emilia and Nick in a way that really builds the story and the character development. There is a realistic amount of steam, and the characters have a consenting, healthy relationship.
I was provided an ARC of the audiobook of this book, but my opinions are my own. The audiobook was enjoyable, the narrator has a pleasant voice and does a good job of differentiating the main characters.
