À propos de cet audio

The riskier the wager....

Everyone knows that Gemma Templeton is a wonderful, cheerful, friendly young woman who is well worth one’s acquaintance. She is vibrant and warm, and plays the violin with exquisite talent. The only thing she lacks is a husband, and time is growing short for her in that regard. When an interesting opportunity arises from an unlikely source, Gemma’s future is suddenly far more appealing, and a small wager makes all the difference.

The sweeter the return....

What everyone does not know is that a certain man of a less warm reputation is very much interested in changing Gemma’s unmarried state, and he doesn’t care what anybody says. Lucas Sinclair, Lord Blackmoor, is a dark mark upon the face of society, and his unexpected interest in Gemma leaves many to wonder if his motives don't hide some sinister purpose. He takes her ridiculous wager, and will stop at nothing to see it paid.

This story differed from many other regency romances for a few reasons. I enjoyed the repartee between the two main characters, even as Blackmoor refused to smile at first. There were a couple of occasions further into the story when Gemma was compelled to comfort him when he was very humble and open to her. I found those moments quite lovely.

In one passage in particular, Blackmoor watched Gemma playing the violin while she was unaware of his presence. The author beautifully described the music as Gemma experienced it and I found it rather moving.

The main characters had instant chemistry, which is not always the case in this type of novel. Capturing that element of their relationship early on meant there was more time for us to watch their connection grow while being on their side and hoping for its success.

I highly recommend.

Some beautiful passages

If you like Daphne Du Maurier's Rebecca, and Rebecca Connolly's An Arrangement of Sorts, this book might interest you. The narrator was superb and story was captivaing. It was refreshing to have a story about a relationship that doesn't just stop at marriage itself (as is often the case for period fiction), but all that goes with it beyond the couple (family, friends, responsibilities, etc.). I like that Rebbecca Connolly writes her books with a proper conclusion to give us a little more after. Rating of 4.5.

Fun & heartfelt story
