Gambling on the Duke's Daughter

Brides of Scandal, Book 1

De: Diana Bold

Narrado por: Lillian Rachel

Captain Dylan Blake has spent the last decade fighting for his country. Desperate for a little peace, he sells his commission and returns to England but soon finds himself angry and adrift in London Society. When an old nemesis challenges him to a wager - he must get Lady Natalia Sinclair to dance with him twice in one evening - he is willing to play along.

The daughter of a duke, Lady Natalia Sinclair fears her enormous dowry is the only thing that draws her many suitors. But heroic Captain Blake seems different. Unfortunately, she soon realizes his smile is false, his interest superficial.

Dylan sees Natalia's rejection as a challenge, and the stakes increase when he discovers his elder brother Michael is wooing the duke's daughter as well. Passed over for Michael too many times, he's determined to prove he can be first in somebody's heart.

As the lines between the wager and attraction blur, can Dylan and Natalia find the courage to take the biggest gamble of all - love?

War Hero and the Debutant

A crazy wager leads to love. With great characters and a good storyline, it’s a well-written book. I enjoyed the writing as well as the narration.

Good story

Well written Victorian romance. Does end on a cliffhanger but I enjoyed Natalie and Dylan’s love story

A brilliant masterpiece

An absolute genius of an author! The creative imagery created by this author kept me spellbound from the first page to the last. She made me feel each and every word. what a story she has spun. I think I will listen once more time or maybe many a time 😁. Thank you

Love, lust, and loss

This story is an easy listen with likable characters. The narrator keeps it light and enjoyable.
(Note: It does get a bit steamy)
If you're looking for your next romantic read, this is a good one.

Second Son Bets on Duke's Daughter

Dylan, a second son of an Earl and a Regency era damaged military veteran, bets he can dance twice with an aloof Duke's beautiful daughter, only to enter into a very entwined life dance. Predictable but enjoyable.

A grand beginning

I love titles and nobility of the time period. I loved that love finally wins out. I just took one star away because of the is it for love or duty part of the story. I got this book from a contributor and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Love this story

Excellent story! The characters are fantastic and the plot is perfect. It is a great audiobook to take you to another time and place.

Overall I'd actually choose 3.5.

I really enjoyed the book. The narrator did an excellent job. The heroine was kinda all over the place. I don't really like when they are petty over things and go back and forth. The author is really good but she'll definitely soar when the book has less back and forth between the h/h

kept me interested

Loved it!!! Great story. Not the usual story line I like to read but thoroughly enjoyed this novel!
