Publisher’s Description:
Don’t wager more than you’re willing to lose…
Disguised as a country miss, Charlotte Devon flees London, desperate to leave her tattered reputation behind. In Scotland, her estranged father’s noble blood will finally make her a respectable debutante. Except she finds herself accidentally wed to a devil-may-care rogue with a sinful smile. He’s the last thing she needs…and everything her traitorous heart desires.
Charming rake Anthony Fairfax is on holiday to seek his fortune…and escape his creditors. When an irresistible Lady Luck wins him in a game of chance—and a slight mishap has them leg-shackled by dawn—the tables have finally turned in his favor. But when past demons catch up to them, holding on to new love will mean destroying their dreams forever.
My Thoughts:

In this first book of her newest series Erica Ridley brings us a dissolute and charming rake who can not stay away from games of chance and any sort of gambling. He has lost repeatedly but still can’t resist the chance to win it all back.
Our heroine is the illegitimate daughter of a lady of the night and a nobleman. She has left London to find her estranged father. She needs money to help her along the way and joins the card game in which our hero is winning.
Can this pair thrown together by odd circumstances find love or will they part after living out this farce.
I enjoyed this book and even read it twice before leaving my review.
I look forward to subsequent additions to this new series.
I gave this book 4 of 5 stars for storyline and characterization and a sensual rating of 2.5 of 5 flames. It is a mildly sensual read with almost no sexual interaction.
I was invited by the publisher to read this book and received a complimentary digital ARC via NetGalley.
This in no way affected my opinion and I have voluntarily left this review.
In the Rogues to Riches historical romance series, Cinderella stories aren’t just for princesses… Sigh-worthy Regency rogues sweep strong-willed young ladies into whirlwind rags-to-riches romance with rollicking adventure.

My Thoughts:
January 19, 2017
This is book #3 of this fun series by a relatively new author on the scene. I have read book #2 and the prequel Novella that are part of this series and found them to be engaging. I did however miss out on book #1. I will try to go back and read it although I don’t think it necessary. These books seem to only be tied together by theme rather than characters. They all do well as standalones.
I feel the characters and storyline are well developed and interesting.
I gave this book 4 of 5 stars for storyline and characterization and 2 of 5 flames for heat. There isn’t a lack of sexual by play in this book but it was kept to a minimum.
I received a complimentary digital copy from the author via Book funnel to read and review.
This in no way affected my opinion of this title.
