What happens at the infamous Vega Club . . .
Sophie Campbell is determined to be mistress of her own fate. Surviving on her skill at cards, she never risks what she can’t afford to lose. Yet when the Duke of Ware proposes a scandalous wager that’s too extravagant to refuse, she can’t resist. If she wins, she’ll get five thousand pounds, enough to secure her independence forever.
Stays at the Vega Club . . .
Jack Lindeville, Duke of Ware, tells himself he’s at the Vega Club merely to save his reckless brother from losing everything, but he knows it’s a lie. He can’t keep his eyes off Sophie, and to get her he breaks his ironclad rule against gambling. If he wins, he wants her—for a week.
Until now.
A week with Jack could ruin what’s left of Sophie’s reputation. It might even cost her her heart. But when it comes to love, all bets are off . . .
Reviews with the most likes.
I love Linden but there was serious lack of dramatic tension here. Most probably due to the “fall in lust” bit, so I didn't feel like their relationship was challenging enough to weather any storm. Also, aside from a series of disapproving relatives, the couple didn't have much obstacles in the way of their romance - so, hardly any suspense or tension in the story.
4/5
The plot was really far-fetched, especially the third act, but it was a fun book regardless. I love how obsessed Jack was with Sophie and how much he loved her. And I'm so happy that Sophie got to meet her uncle! I wonder if he was invited to the wedding? I wish we saw Sophie and Jack's wedding!
I'm sorry, Eliza did WHAT? I knew there was something fishy about the guy she liked but WHAT THE HELL, WOMAN?
