A GAMBLE AT SUNSET Betting Against the Duke, Book 1

Narrator Bianca Drew introduces listeners to Georgina Wilcox and her three sisters. They are of African descent and born into the family of a successful businessman, their grandfather. Their trials and tribulations begin with the death of sister Catherine's husband, who, it turns out, has drained the company's coffers of money. Drew captures all the anxiety of these events. Georgina then begins a fake courtship with the third son of a member of the aristocracy, Lord Mark Sebastian. Regency romance aficionados will enjoy Drew's storytelling skills as she leads listeners through the couple's fake courtship and romantic trials, which include a discussion of sickle cell anemia before it had a name. Cleverly done and well performed. E.E.S. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2024]
