Publisher's summary

In the game of love....

Georgiana Lucas despises the arrogant and cruel Marquess of Westmorland even before learning that he’s won the deed to her friend Kitty’s home in a card game. Still, Georgiana assures Kitty the marquess wouldn’t possibly come all the way to Derbyshire to throw them out - until he shows up, bloody and unconscious. Fearing that Kitty would rather see him die, Georgiana blurts out that he’s her fiancé. She’ll nurse the hateful man back to health and make him vow to leave and never return. The man who wakes up, though, is nothing like the heartless rogue Georgiana thought she knew....

You have to risk it all

He wakes up with no memory of being assaulted - or of who he is. The bewitching beauty tending him so devotedly calls him Rob and claims she’s his fiancée even as she avoids his touch. Though he can’t remember how he won her hand, he’s now determined to win her heart. But as his memory returns and the truth is revealed, Rob must decide if the game is up - or if he’ll take a chance on a love that defies all odds.

Very Sweet but a bit long

Lovely story. Too much inner reflection and coverage of events that we are already aware have happened, and the “misunderstanding/omission of details” premise that grows tiring. I almost gave up several times, but I am glad that I stuck through until the end. It is a bit tame for my liking. Very appropriate for a teenager. Overall, a decent, sweet, innocent story.

This is a wonderful series of books!!!

I really enjoyed this series as well as your other series of books. I know that I will come back to listen to them again.

Hate amnesia plots? This one works!

Caroline Linden has done a very good job of pulling of the always tricky amnesia plot. Great sexual tension between two attractive lead characters. It does run a bit off the rails toward the end, when the whole "secret agent" plot comes to the fore. Still, an enjoyable book from one of my favorite authors, and Beverly A. Crick is an always reliable narrator.

Great Narration

The story is excellent and the narrator is one of the best I’ve heard. Hope to hear her more.

Excellent listening

I binged on this series and applaud C Linden for three very entertaining books. Unlike many series, each book in The Wagers of Sin is its own unique story. Not cut from the same cloth with different main characters. This book like the previous two were very well-written and the characters were delightfully entertaining. C Linden and B Crick are definitely a good team.

My absolute favorite of her books

I adore this story. It’s by far the best of her delightful stories. Not just a HAE story but one full of sweet moments all the way. I adore the conversations and wit. In this writers romance books it easy to see why the characters fall in love. This story is the absolute best of the lot. I’m half in love with the both of them in only the run time of the book.

Delightful

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story was wonderful and the narration was excellent. The main characters, Georgiana and Rob complimented each other beautifully. I highly recommend this book.
