Appartient à la série
Mired in scandal after his parents' mysterious deaths, notorious gambler Lord Jarret Sharpe agrees to tamely run the family brewery for a year if his Machiavellian grandmother rescinds her ultimatum that he marry. But the gambler in him can't resist when beguiling Annabel Lake proposes a wager. If she wins their card game, he must help save her family's foundering brewery. But if he wins, she must spend a night in his bed. The outcome sets off a chain of events that threatens to destroy all his plans. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Series note: This is book #2. While the romance is standalone, there is an ongoing story arc concerning the death of the Sharpe siblings' parents. As such, the series should be read in order.
Unfortunately, this follow-up does not live up to its potential due to the slow pacing, anachronistic elements, and uninspired romance.
Unlike the tortured Oliver and quirky Maria in book #1, Jarret and Annabel are rather bland. They have very little chemistry and their constant "we are too different to be together" quickly becomes annoying.
Furthermore, the book contains an iffy trope for me, i.e.,
Finally, very little progress is made in the investigation into the earl and countess's deaths other than the addition of a new suspect whose motive is rather far-fetched.
Overall, not one of Jeffries better works, but the ongoing mystery and the other Sharpe siblings are intriguing enough to continue. ( )
