Scandal in Spades (Lords of Chance #1) by Wendy LaCapra. Historical Romance Release & ARC Review.


Add To


The Marquess of Bromton has just learned that he’s a bastard. Feeling his honor is at stake, he attempts to bestow his estate upon a rightful heir by manipulating a high-stakes card game. But the winner demands more than Bromton bargained for—a marriage…to his spinster sister. Lady Katherine may be the least marriageable lady in all of England, but a child of their union would be a rightful heir…

Scandal has hardened Lady Katherine and narrowed her world to duty and family. There’s nothing to be trusted in the Society she left behind…especially not the imperious marquess with his single-minded pursuit. Or his knee-weakening kisses. 

Except, the more their connection deepens, the more Bromton surprises Katherine. But the truth about their courtship could destroy everything…

Giles Langley the Marquess of Bromton has learned news that devastated all he held important.  Now for the sake of his honour he must try and put things right.  That's why he has just cheated at cards.  He played to lose but the man he played with has a different agenda. 
Lady Katherine Markham was the subject of a cruel jibe after two betrothals and no wedding.  Now five years later she has decided to stay a spinster. Unfortunately her brother has plans to bring a friend home.  Last time he did that she was humiliated again.  She must act first. 
Our hero has not had a particularly happy life and sees no way to change that. 
Our heroine wants nothing more than to protect her family from more scandal.  She would also protect herself from more heartache.
 
It can be embarrassing to be reading in a coffee shop and crying at the same time.  (You get funny looks)  That's what happened to me when I was reading this,  especially near the end.  You can't help but get involved in our characters emotions. 
This book will certainly play on your sympathy.  There is a grand romance to go with it though,  so you will be sure to enjoy it all.  I did.
