Linden has in store for the rest of the series!Rating: 4 1/2 stars / AI voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Hugh truly does have his heart in the right place-the ways he can help his mother and sisters are very limited and the alternate method he'd come up with by himself just wasn't going to have the same effect (though OMG, man, you should have admitted to them the situation your father left you all in much sooner than you did!)Reading this story is like reading an unusually romantic train wreck-you love the characters, hate the deception behind them being together, and know disaster is coming and just can't stop reading until the HEA is achieved. The narrative of the third installment in the Wagers of Sin series (An Earl Like You, 2018, etc.) is replete with tried-and-tested tropes but is witty and. Though they get together originally for all the wrong reasons-unbeknownst to Eliza, unfortunately-it's hard to imagine that they would have found each other any other way (and even if they had met somehow, that Hugh would have truly noticed her anyway-he even admits this to himself at one point) so it's hard to hate her father *too* much. It doesn’t take long for Eliza to lose her heart and marry him. The earl is everything a gentleman should be, and is boldly attentive to her.

I am loving this series!Hugh and Eliza are a wonderful couple. Heiress Eliza Cross has given up hope of marriage until she meets the impossibly handsome Earl of Hastings, her father’s new business partner. An Earl Like You by Caroline Linden is the second book in the Wagers of Sin series and features a plot where the hero is involved in deceiving the heroine in a significant way.
