In this sizzling third book in New York Times bestselling author Liz Carlyle's compelling historical trilogy, a cynical rake joins a sinister game of cards with dangerously seductive stakes. If he wins this hand... Shunning the glittering elite of high society Kieran, Baron Rothewell, prefers the dangerous pursuits of London's demimonde. Hardened by a tormented past, he cares little for anyone or anything. So how can he resist the wager proposed by the dissolute Comte de Valigny? A hand of cards for the possession of the comte's exquisite daughter. Will he win her heart? Abandoned by her highborn father—until he decides to use her—Mademoiselle Camille Marchand puts no trust in an aristocrat's honor, especially that of the notorious baron. She too is gambling—for her life—and Rothwell is just one more card to be used. But whatever dark desires run through his veins call to her own, and the heart plays its own game...winner take all!

This book filled me with such warm fuzzies. Love the couple; both had very believable neuroses. In the end, when they finally realised they loved each other, you wanted to hug them both. A satisfying romance novel!
This book... well. What can I say, Kieran wins Camille in a card game, half the book is in French, which take you out of the element in my opinion. I was just skipping over anytime Camille spoke, because it seemed she said the same 3 fucking phrases at the beginning or end of everything she said. It got really irritating. I just didnt feel anything for this couple, their romance was not believable in any way, and the chemistry was practically non existent. There was more sizzle when I made my pb and j for lunch, and I dont even like those anymore.
