Gambling on a Gentleman

Thoroughly charming story, from the meet-cute to the gratifying ending.

It was easy for me to fall in love with smart, strong, and capable Alice, a heroine who had learned the hard way to stand up for herself and fight for what's important to her. And it was equally easy to be charmed by kind, funny, and swoon-worthy Geoffrey - even though his occasional waffling (and, of course, him messing up a perfectly good thing) made me sometimes want to shake some sense into him.

Overall, this is a lovely, well-written story of redemption and of hope that made me equally smile and swoon. Although it's not quite my favorite of the series (as of today, that's still “Embracing Her Ever After”), it's a close second. :)
