"This novel will appeal to those readers who enjoy the damaged hero/nurturing heroine as well as the older woman/younger man tropes. If you like card games (like Blackjack) and gambling, this is definitely "the" book for you. I'm also recommending it to those who like to read romantic historical novels, more specifically, during the Georgian era." - Love Romance Passion
"The wonderful cast of characters breathed so much life into Emery's words, they became real to me. I love reading a book where you can tell the author loves (or hates) her characters and she definitely has the gift! Above all else, the focus is on the love story. *Happy sigh* We all need a good love story now and then.

I can't wait to read the previous book which is already on my Kobo E-Reader
