A Tangled Inheritance by Chalon Linton
4.0
Fun regency romance by Chalon Linton. This enjoyable story is told from the perspectives of Nora Ellsworth and Devlin Fausett. Nora is a smart, talented heroine who could have her pick of men but has been expected to marry Jonathan Browning since birth. Devlin is a handsome, musically talented gambler who has a bad reputation for high stakes games. His family has threatened to cut him off if he doesn't stop his gambling. When he meets Nora at a friend's wedding party, he is immediately taken with the beauty and vows to change to try to be worthy of her. However, when Nora learns she must marry to keep her family's estate, she must chose between the man she loves and the one she is expected to marry.
One of the things I really enjoyed about this book was the fact that the hero had an addiction to gambling, but was inspired by the heroine to change for the better. I also liked that Nora was not a pushover. She has feelings for Devlin, but isn't willing to compromise on his gambling and offers support to him when he tries to change.
There's plenty of action along with a sweet romance. Several twists emerge throughout the book that kept me quickly turning the pages. Anyone who enjoys sweet historical romances would enjoy this book.
