The Lady Gambles: A Regency Historical Romance

By Carole Mortimer

Her heart pounding beneath the bright lights of London's most fashionable gambling club, Lady Caroline Copeland nervously steps out from behind the curtain .

Eyes scanning the crowd, she's drawn to a devilish-looking gentleman glowering at her from the back of the room. The intensity of his gaze burns through her disguise, making her throat dry, her cheeks pink. Caro's gambled her reputation to be here, and can't risk letting anyone close enough to expose her secret...no matter how much her body craves to give in .

Reviews for The Lady Gambles

[wyvernfriend · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Almost a 4 star book. I enjoyed this story about a woman who decides to support herself in Regency London by singing at a gambling house. When the owner of this gambling house, which he won from a not-very-upright previous owner, comes to visit he's intrigued by her and slowly but sure they both start to thaw.The fights are well done, the characters lept off the page at me and I really enjoyed this read.
