The Earl's Winning Wager by Jen Geigle Johnson

4.0

This was a sweet book. It’s been fun to get to know the sisters, that we caught a glimpse of in the first book and I can’t wait to read more.

The Standish sisters, all 5 of them, are orphaned and have been passed off from one distant relative to the next. June Standish, the eldest, has done her best to raise her sisters to be proper ladies. It kind of reminded me as a Regency Little Women.

Lord Morley won a ramshackle castle in a game of cards and the 5 women too which are ready to be in society. Just what a bachelor needs! He makes it his duty to oversee repairs but the eldest sister is pretty and makes it easier to be in Brighton. But he doesn’t want to be there just for duty.

Again, this was sweet but I wish there was more tension. The climax was in the last chapter and wrapped up really fast and easy.

I received this ebook from the author for a review but these are my own thoughts and opinions.
