The Earl’s Scandalous Wager by Wareeze Woodson – Review by Amanda Lundin

The Earl’s Scandalous Wager by Wareeze Woodson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a delightful story! It has the perfect ingredients of great book: romance, rags to riches, period piece, ball gowns, murder, mystery, scandal, strong characters, and a wonderful plot.

I love a good romantic mystery as well as period pieces (ball gowns and titles, I’m still a princess at heart). This book did not disappoint. It kept true to the times and language to the perfect degree that you could fully understand what they were saying and enjoy the different types of speech. The predicament in which the main characters met, their developing relationship, and trials and errors (lots of those), emotions and reactions felt very realistic and we’re so well written and thought out.

Another thing that was really neat about this book was the various character’s point of views we got to experience; which I think really added something special and unique. This sharing of view points enabled the reader to be in everyone’s thoughts and experience the emotions she allowed her characters to showcase; and boy did they have some strong feelings! There were no flat characters in this book.

I adored this book, it is definitely worth the read and I will be looking into this author for other great reads!
