A Kiss in the Moonlight: A Gambler’s Daughters Novel

Written by Cathy Maxwell

Narrated by Justine Eyre

New York Times bestselling author Cathy Maxwell begins a spectacular new series, the Gambler’s Daughters. Three aristocratic sisters must use their wits and wiles to make their ways in Regency London...only to learn the path to making a brilliant society marriage isn’t easy—especially when Love gets in the way!

To Marry a Duke…

Once there were three Irish sisters—Gwendolyn, Dara, and Elise—who had to fend for themselves when their gambler of a father disappeared, leaving them with an unscrupulous cousin. Dara hatches a daring plan: they gamble what little they own to finance a London season. Her goal: to use their looks and their wits to find a duke to marry for each sister!

It seems her crazy plot might work when the sisters are declared the “Incomparables” of the Season. Dukes and lords line up at their door, but bold women and scandal always go hand in hand. Particularly when Dara’s plans are challenged by the likes of Michael Brogan, who provokes Dara as much as he tempts her. The handsome, clever, and rising politician is definitely not a duke, but he’s determined to teach her about ambition, men, and, above all, love, making Dara wonder if her plans are about to change.

Reviews for A Kiss in the Moonlight

[Andrea Author · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

When the presumed death of their gambler father leaves them all but destitute, three sisters launch a desperate plan: use the last of their savings to win enough for a London season. Their bet pays off, and Dara is soon courted by Michael, a rising politician. Will her scandalous past destroy their plans?

This is a romantic story that's full of twists. The initial clash between Dara and Michael is fun to watch. As the story evolves, Michael proves himself a likable hero who's devoted to Dara. Their courtship is sweet, but political intrigue and family dynamics are against them. They both have to make tough choices to find their HEA.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
