Description
The Marquis of Lyndhurst is tired of women who are more attracted to his title and money than to his charms. So when his mother requests that he go to the Isle of Wight to court another eligible woman, Ryker decides on a little game … his cousin Robby will pose as him, and he will pose as his cousin—a rake and a gambler. If the woman falls in love with him, it will be for himself. Only then will he reveal who he is.
What the marquis doesn’t expect, however, is someone like Jewelene. Lovely and provocative, intelligent and headstrong, Jewels cares not for status and wealth. Ryker finds her irresistible, and she finds herself falling for the handsome man she believes to be the marquis’ cousin.
But Jewelene is playing a game of her own. In a daring bid to repay her family’s debts, each night she poses as Babette, the French card dealer. When Ryker begins flirting with the sultry Babette, Jewelene realizes she has become her own rival. If she reveals the truth, will her house of cards come tumbling down?
Reviews
Meh
3By readin'readerThe storyline is okay, but the book is in need of some serious editing - WAY too many suspension points, and the dialogues are too contemporary. Also, the male lead is really douchey.Deleted halfway through
1By AkuraniThe story didn't hold my attention and tended to drag, def nothing close to Conn's other books. Jewel is described and spirited and independent but just comes across as annoying, high pitched, and bossy. The Marquis just seems like a d-bag....No explanation of what attracts them to each other except for the fact they are both good looking....would not recommend this book.Loved it
