The Earl’s Winning Wager proves to be a sweet, light Regency romance that makes for delightful afternoon reading.

Lord Morley wins a game of cards and acquires a family’s worth of responsibilities. He aims to be a worthwhile guardian for the Standish sisters, yet the eldest Miss Standish hesitates to fully welcome his regard. In navigating the new situation, the story surrounding the pair unfolds with great entertainment.

I enjoyed getting to know the characters in Jen Geigle Johnson’s second Lords for the Sisters of Sussex novel. Since the story is fairly low-stakes, the range of personalities and family dynamics make it fun and heartwarming to read—it is definitely one to check out if that is exactly what you are hoping to feel with a Regency romance.

3.5 Stars

Jen Geigle Johnson once again throws a little twist into the Regency aristocratic romance. This time, there are five sisters with a royal bloodline and no livelihood other than the charity bestowed on them.

I enjoyed getting to know the sisters and their unique personalities. And I sincerely hope each of them gets her own story.

Overall, The Earl’s Winning Wager is a sweet, easy-paced romance without a lot of conflict, other than will they or won’t they get together. But sometimes, that’s exactly the kind of read I’m looking for.
