stayed up all night to finish this. loved it so much! loved the heroine! she was so spirited and fresh! she fought for their love. the thing that sealed it was when she found some other chick pushing up on her man! she didn't run away and jump to crazy conclusions. she charges in and tells the chick to get her hands off the man. go girl! loved the hero, hard but tender, as he discovered his love for the girl. utterly enthralling and funny! all time fave! Oh how I LOVED this book! It was ever better than Her Husband’s Harlot (HHH). I knew in HHH that Paul, Percy’s brother, was headed for disaster and in Her Wanton Wager he finally hits rock bottom and it’s up to Percy to bail him out. Gavin never have a chance! Percy had been looking for adventure her entire life and she wasn’t afraid to chase it find her happy ending.I enjoyed Percy and her wild ways in book 1 and in this book, she is even more wild and adventurous. In the early 1800’s women were to supposed to be all prim and proper but Percy wanted to be an author which was looked down upon back then. With that being said Percy never fit in with the stuffed shirts of the Ton. Nothing ever exciting happens there and the days were always boring. After her and Gavin’s first “date” you know that she is hooked and that she will never look back.Gavin, the leader of The Underworld, a gaming hell and Persephone’s Hades so to speak. He’s determined to win the bet that will help him seek revenge on Nick, Percy’s adopted brother, who he blames for him being thrown in jail when he was a boy for a crime that he didn’t commit and one that he believes that Nick did. I’ll be honest and say that Gavin surprised me in this book. He was loyal and true to his word when he made promises and was the perfect match for Percy.This book is a must read but I do advise reading Her Husband’s Harlot first so that you can get to know all of the characters. 5 stars!
