The Marriage Gamble (Regency Romance)

Summary: Delightful Romance
Review: This book has it all: delightful characters, wonderful romance, and believable intrigue!

Damara is puzzled and angry when she first finds out from the newspaper about her engagement to the Marquis of Emsley. She heads to London to find out who this dastard is she is supposed to be engaged to. Simon, Lord Emsley, newly returned from the war and the new marquis, is also confused by the announcement and is determined to discover this obvious fortune hunter who he is supposedly engaged to. When the pair meet, sparks fly. Simon is determined to stay engaged to the fascinating woman, but Damara is tired of having her life run by dictatorial men. The course of true love has quite a few obstacles to overcome in this delightful romance!

This book is one of my favorite regencies! All of the characters, including the secondary characters (family members, friends, and villains), are marvelous and true throughout the book. The plot is forward-moving and believeable. The writing is great prose, a fun read (with laugh-out-loud sections). I highly recommend this book.
