Anne Middleton never plays by the rules. She is willful when she should be obedient and unabashed when she should be decorous. Worse still, she can never resist a good wager... or a very naughty book. And Confessions of a Courtesan is about as sensational and risque as a book can be.
Michael Grey - Earl of Thornhill - had once courted Anne's sweet and modest sister. But whilst Anne is certainly no lady of decorum, her bold impulsiveness slips through his armor, and propriety is forgotten. Now he too is immersed in the book of forbidden delights, where each page is an invitation to sin and a guide to pleasures unknown...
Roused by heady desire, Michael tempts Anne in a way she cannot resist - a wager. Thus begins a game of chance, where coins have been replaced by a currency that is far more illicit. And the stakes of seduction are dangerous indeed...
I received The Wager (Sisters of Scandal, #2) for free. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Would you ever consider a relationship with a man who proposed to your sister? I know I wouldn’t. But I’m not Anne Middleton.
The Middleton sisters are at it again! This time, middle sister Anne, is finding love where she least expects it. Anne is brash, intelligent, and can’t resist a wager. When looking for the most erotic book in England, she runs into the man who proposed to her sister the year before.
Micheal Grey, the Earl of Thornhill, only proposed to the eldest Middleton sister because he thought he should. After an unexpected run in with Anne, he begins to wonder if his proposal was directed toward the wrong sister. He realizes a wager might be the only way to win her heart.
I love how Maxton mixed courting through letters with the tantalization of the erotic works Anne and Micheal are reading. What fun it would be to reference the pages of that erotic work! And when the two meet face to face? So explosive!
The Wager is a salacious morsel of regency romance!
