The Wedding Gamble

I liked it a lot. I admit that it did bother me that Sarah never really seemed to let go of Sinjin. But I liked it anyway. I liked Nick.

I enjoyed The Wedding Gamble so much. It was cleverly written--both sweet and steamy. The humor was wonderful and the author shows an immense knowledge of the Regency period. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good Regency romance.

The plot of The Wedding Gamble is inventive and fast-moving, the setting alive with detail and color, and Ms. Justiss has expertly created a likeable, believable cast of characters. I felt torn with Sarah over Sinjin, her first love, and Nicholas, her new husband of whom she is very unsure. Her villain is truly rotten and definitely added punch to the story. And, Ms. Justiss, if you have the time, would you write a story for your secondary character, Hal? I eagerly look forward to reading more books by this bright author.

Excellent book. Well written and refreshingly different. The author brings Regency London alive. Both Nicholas and Sarah are strong characters and Sarah is no simpering Miss, but a vital, intelligent woman who is a good match for Nicholas. Julia Justiss draws an excellent villain, as well. Hard to believe this is Justiss's first book. I'm looking forward to her future ones.

I usually do not read Historical romance and The Wedding Gamble is the first Regency Romance I have ever purchased. After reading about Sarah's plight, during the Marriage Mart season, I would like to read more books in this time period. Ms. Justiss did a wonderful job with descriptions and she portrayed Sarah as a strong heroine who knew how to go about getting what she needed and wanted. Ms. Justiss also did a splendid job making me hate the villian and love the Marquess of Englemere. I look forward to reading more books by this author.
