Wagered in Winter by Scarlett Scott
5.0

Wagered in Winter is the fifth book in the Wicked Winters series. It is based on the Winter’s family and this one is Prudence’s story, the eldest sister. Dev Winter’s was trying to find wealthy, titled gentlemen for his sisters to wed so his wife hosted a Christmas house party and invited several gentlemen. Prudence is not looking for a husband, especially a handsome rake. She wants to live a life of independence and build a foundling hospital. The Duke of Coventry’s younger brother, Lord Ashley, was not seeking a wife for himself but for his shy older brother. To help his brother, Lord Ashley agrees to woo Prudence for the duke. Little did he realize that he would be interested in Prudence for himself! He was so confident in his skills too woo, but when he fails to impress Prudence he suggests a bargain. She will tutor him on how to successfully woo a lady and he will volunteer at her foundling hospital for a sennight. Somewhere along the way, Ashley realizes that he can’t let Prudence go, he had to make her his. This has been a great series and this was a great addition to it. I love all the Winter sisters, they are fiercely loyal, independent and full of spirit. I can’t wait to read the next book that is for Christabella and Gill, the Duke of Coventry. Christabella is supposed to be the wildest sister so it will certainly be full of spice!
