He lost a wager . . . but won a treasure.

Due to a lost wager, the Duke of Ravenham is obliged to bring a pretty little nobody from the country into fashion among the high-sticklers of London Society. Ravenham would never refuse a debt of honor, no matter how unorthodox, so he overlooks Miss Gordon's vulgar relations to do what is necessary, escorting the unsophisticated chit to balls, etc. But what he expects to be an irksome duty turns out to be something quite different as he falls under the spell of his protege's innocent charm. When he lost that wager, he definitely never counted on losing his heart as well!

First impressions can be deceiving.

Miss Gabriella Gordon only came to London at her mother's and sister's insistence, for she'd much rather assist in running her father's veterinary practice than attempt to fit into fashionable society. No sooner has she arrived in London than the exalted (and exceedingly handsome) Duke of Ravenham comes to call. The reason is less than flattering, however: due to a lost wager, the Duke is forced to bring Gabriella into fashion, a "favor" she would certainly refuse if her family would let her. But the more time she spends in the dashing Duke's company, the more conflicted she feels— particularly when she discovers they have more in common than she ever dared dream.

"This book was a fantastic read! Once I started I couldn't seem to put it down and I was annoyed when my breaks at work ended and I had to stop reading." Nook reader

"I think just about anyone would enjoy this book as an easy, pleasant read. The author has written this book so well, I am going looking for more of her books!" Kindle reader

Tessa

A good clean Regency Romance!

Reviewed in Australia on 2 February 2017

Verified Purchase

This a Regency Romance in the old style. The author has the nuances of the period off pat. A time when a debutante could be made by whom she was accepted by and destroyed by rumours , correct or not! Our heroine, Gabriella Gordon, is invited to have a season in London by her married sister. They are the children of the second son of a Viscount who made most of his living as a veterinarian. Brie, and her brother Gabe, were both very involved in his practice until an accident caused his death. Brie no longer has an excuse not to go to London for the season.
By chance she becomes sponsored by the Duke of Ravenham, and is befriended by his sister. She finds that the Season is better than she expected but often finds herself embarrassed by her older sister, a rather silly creature.
There are also pitfalls to be avoided but, all in all, it's a very sweet Regency Romance.

Fun, sweet romance

Reviewed in Australia on 17 January 2022

It's really nice to read a romance where people give in to their nasty sides. This one was a fun read with a good cast of characters and an enjoyable plot. This is a sweet, rather than steamy, romance.

I am having a Brenda Hiatt bookfest, and I am enjoying some wonderful Regency romances.
This one has been entertaining, with a somewhat quirky twist. I am sure glad I was born inth the 1800's

The friendship that develops between Elizabeth and Brie is comfortable and adds some normality to Brie's messy new life

Reviewed in Australia on 28 August 2017

Verified Purchase

This book had it all; the horrid sister, the evil rake and the handsome hero. The friendship that develops between Elizabeth and Brie is comfortable and adds some normality to Brie's messy new life. The only complaint was that in the first few pages everybody seemed to be called Gabrielle or similar. It would probably been better if the author could have squeezed the explanation about all the Gabrielle's earlier in the story.

Very enjoyable Regency Romance

Reviewed in Australia on 29 December 2017

As a fan of Regency Romance, I enjoyed this book very much. The writing is true to the period and the characters interesting and engaging.

It only wanted a little more focus on the chemistry between the hero & heroine and their growing feelings for one another - then I would have given it 5 stars.

A most enjoyable Regency romance. It has everything you could want, a handsome hero, a beautiful heroine, her pushy mother, a snobby older sister, a rake and more. All of these come together to make a great story. I loved it.

Wirklich nette Regency-Romanze

Reviewed in Germany on 1 March 2018

Verified Purchase

Da die andere Rezensentin gar so harsch mit dieser Geschichte umgegangen ist, fühle ich mich zu einer Rezi genötigt.
Die Geschichte ist zwar kein Highlight aber wirklich nett geschrieben und die Protagonisten sind sehr sympathisch.
Die Versatzstücke sind altbekannt und bei manchem kümmerte sich die Autorin nicht so besonders um historische Genauigkeit, aber da trifft sie sich mit eigentlich allen anderen Regency-Autorinnen. Auch Größen des Genres wie Mary Balogh gehen von Zeit zu Zeit eher locker mit der historischen Genauigkeit um, es sollte halt nicht so sehr übertrieben werden, dass es völlig unglaubwürdig wird (und da hat halt jeder seine eigene Schwelle).
Im übrigen ist die Idee mit der Tierliebe und den Fähigkeiten von Brie, vielleicht nicht gerade wahrscheinlich, aber gänzlich neu und unverbraucht und habe ich so noch nirgends gelesen.
3,5 Sterne von mir und eine Leseempfehlung.
