Description

USA TODAY bestselling author Eva Leigh continues her Last Chance Scoundrels series with a steamy romance between two opposites—a rogue with a taste for wagers and a bookish wallflower—who marry for convenience... but neither bet on falling in love.

Finn Ransome is an expert on Lady Luck, which is why he refuses to take a chance on love. Experience has taught him that he’s happier at a gaming table than around people he will, inevitably, disappoint. However, the clock is ticking on his father’s matrimonial demands. But the only woman to catch his eye is a bluestocking who would never consider a rogue like him.

After a disastrous first Season, Tabitha Seaton decided to focus on books instead of ballrooms. She hopes to join the Sterling Society, a collective of the most brilliant, influential minds in London. Except, they will never admit an unmarried lady. Now Tabitha needs a husband, and a notorious, handsome gambler may be her best bet.

Finn and Tabitha are opposites who have no intention of wagering on a love match, and a calculated marriage of convenience solves all their problems—with no risk to their hearts. Once married, however, their potent attraction boils over into a deep passion that neither expected. When a painful mistake drives the new lovers apart, Finn will risk it all to prove a scoundrel and a wallflower are a winning pair...

    I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it.

    I have not read the first book of this series. While those characters make multiple appearances, I didn't need to in order to understand this story. I loved that this book was written in a dual POV format. Getting glimpses into the character's thoughts during and/or after a scene really help me to better connect to the character.

    I will say that there were times when Tabitha's intellect was over-the-top. I almost wanted to skip some sections but forced myself to read it through. I didn't want to miss something else that may prove to be necessary to understand later on.

    I adored Finn! I wanted to cry and hug him several times throughout the story. Having a problem reading can be hard on someone. The author did a wonderful job in really showing the suffering that he went through to highlight how one’s disability could affect other aspects.

    Tabitha was a delight until about the last portion of the story. She never communicated with Finn her history so when something Finn says is taken the wrong way, she fled! I really lost a lot of respect for the character, especially one of her supposed intellect. I mean how can someone say innocent words not knowing how they could possibly affect someone if that someone NEVER communicated about a past event?

    This is a very steamy story with some vulgar language so if you do not care for it, well you decide.
