Charlotte Stuart has traveled all over
Europe with the aunt and uncle that raised her after her
parents died. Now it is time to return to England to wed
and to please her guardians she goes through the motions of
looking, but she has no intention of committing herself to
any man. Charlotte was hurt by a man in her past and wants
nothing more than to become a spinster and work with her
charities.
Edward Woodcliff is a Viscount. He has
let out the rumor that he has fallen on hard times to weed
out the women only interested in his money and title. He
has finally found his match in Charlotte. but her pride
keeps getting in the way. How will Edward win over the girl
without looking like a liar and wounding her pride even
more?
Lady’s Wager is a well-written, classic
historical romance. Both characters are well traveled and
smart. Only for a short while does Edward think of
Charlotte as being only a mindless female. My favorite
part was when Edward thought to try winning Charlotte over
by being nice to her. I think Lady’s Wager
started a little slow, but by the end I really enjoyed the
story. |
