A GENTLEMAN'S GAME (ROMANCE OF THE SURF) BY THERESA ROMAINE

SYNOPSIS

Suave Nathaniel Chandler can just as easily talk himself into a willing lady's embrace as he can broker a business deal. But no amount of charm is sufficient to cloak a chilling, recent discovery: every one of his award-winning racehorses has suddenly and mysteriously fallen ill.

Determined to discover the source of the problem, Nathaniel searches for all possible explanations. His suspicions fall on the alluring Rosalind Agate, his father's new secretary. But for the sake of both their livelihoods - and his recent attraction - Nathaniel sets aside his suspicions. Instead, he decides to use Rosalind's wit and her wiles as key components of his investigative team.

As the upcoming race draws near, Nathaniel and Rosalind must use every trick up their sleeves to not only catch the culprit, but also satisfy the desire that burns between them…

REVIEW:  A GENTLEMAN'S GAME (ROMANCE OF THE SURF) BY THERESA ROMAINE

A Gentleman's Game by Theresa Romain

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


The air of mystery is what sold me. The romance is just an added bonus. I received a copy of Ms. Romain's latest story in exchange for an honest review. Nathaniel is trying to live down past actions and show he has grown into a responsible businessman. Yet with obstacles that include a doubting father, mysteriously ill horses and a daring infatuation with a woman he doesn't trust, he may not stand a chance. In all I feel that Theresa Romain did a pretty good job of crafting her story around two very misunderstood characters. A Gentleman's Game is the first historical romance that didn't completely sell me on the love story but drew me to the puzzle inside.

REVIEW:  TO CATCH A RAKE (THE RAKE'S HANDBOOK) BY SALLY ORR

To Catch a Rake by Sally Orr

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Anything you can do...

I loved George and Meta. The way they got under each other's skin was priceless. To Catch a Rake is sexy battle of wills that has the irresistible flavor that I look for in my reads. I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review. The mix ups, tension and determination to get even had me engrossed from beginning to end. I loved reading this.
