Dealing Her Final Card by Jennie Lucas

4.0

I love the fantasy idea of the heroine being won in a bet, sold, etc. Guess it's kind of a kink of mine. Totally loved that this hero was so desperate to make her happy, yet going about it so wrong by throwing money at her.

This is very tropey: Hero wants revenge until he realizes h was innocent because 'oops she's a virgin', hero controls heroine's life by manipulating her with her love for a family member, hero is broken and thinks he can't love/doesn't deserve it, but desperately needs the heroine....

Basically a dysfunctional mess that only has a HEA in HPLandia :) Some hate these tropes, but I love it so and though this one was one of the better done examples.
