Wager for a Wife by Karen Tuft

5.0

I LOVED this book. I had read Tuft's previous work in "The Gentleman's Deception" and loved it, so I had high hopes that I would enjoy this as well.

This was such a sweet Regency romance. I love how William was of few words, while I could empathize with Louisa, how frustrating it would be, it seemed like a simple take that isn't as widely used in most Regency plotlines that I've read. And Tuft weaved a perfect story, the reader couldn't help but cheer for them! Wondering if they would get a HEA when it seemed like many times it wasn't in the cards. I couldn't put this book down.

I loved all the characters and the ending was perfect that I didn't want to say goodbye to these characters! Lo and behold, Tuft's previous work "The Earl's Betrothal" is connected, she created this book as a prequel of sorts. I can't wait to read that as well. I received this book in exchange for a review but I will most definitely be buying this in paperbook to share with family and friends!
