This story took me on a long long journey. Part of the time I wondered why? It just seemed like I was watching the daily lives of these people. I was struggling to keep turning pages. Then it started to pick up more than half way through the book. The ending all twisty and full of who dunnits.

The characters are a plenty. We the the MC and a few secondary then many on the outskirts. Some I enjoyed, others I couldn’t stand then there are those that impress me with their about-face. I know times were different back then. But what poor Emily had to put up with from well…really everyone is outlandish. Favorite character would be Emily for her strength to overcome and endure everyone around her.

Overall this is an okay story…closer to the end. The parties and day to day living really didn’t further the story in the book so I could have passed on some of those. The beginning though was well done and drew my interest into the story. The slower pace of the story just isn’t for me. The characters seemed well done and the excitement at the end was well done

After her freedom is lost with a roll of the dice, Emily’s fate is now in the hands of the unknown but undeniably attractive Phillip, Earl of Lenbridge. Jealous and self-serving, snubbed antagonists create trouble after the Earl forces Emily into an unexpected marriage. When initial attempts to end Emily’s life fail, she must learn to trust in herself, and her new husband. Both Emily and Philip’s personal failures and triumphs feel very genuine, and easily inspire connection.
In a genre that often falls pray to predictability, author Wareeze Woodson  does a stellar job keeping readers guessing until the very end. If you love a comfortable, yet exciting period piece romance, this book is for you.

I really enjoyed this story. It is a historical romance and as such the writing and the language reflect that. It was interesting to read a story that contains a lot of the social etiquette that was the normal in years gone by. The characters reactions to things and how they respond to situations were so different to how a person would respond in the present day and that all added to the charm of this book. The author does an amazing job of transporting you back to that time period and keeping you there.

I love the character of Emily. She starts out so scared and unsure when she is won in a game from her stepbrother. The person who wins her is  Lord Lenbridge. She knows nothing of this man but as the story progresses you feel her confidence and her love for him grown.
The little extra added into this story which makes it different to being just a romance is the element of danger that is present. Someone is out to get Emily, to ruin her life and destroy her marriage but who could it be? Could it be the jilted lover Phillip originally planned to marry? Or his family that don’t approve of their marriage? Or could it even be Emily’s step brother who has feelings for her that are strictly feelings between siblings? The story has you guessing to the end.

The Earl’s Scandalous Wager by Wareeze Woodson – Review by Jaimie Salmon-Colburn

Scandalous and gripping!! Not only does this author write these fantastic characters so well that you can actually hear them talking, but she grabs you into this story and keeps you there! I LOVED this book! Poor Emily has had a rough go. Her mother dies, her father remarries, then her father dies, and he leaves her in the care of her gambling step-brother. Her stepbrother puts her up for grabs in a game of dice and he LOSES her to a stranger!! Her world is thrown upside down and she can’t quite catch her footing. Will she end up beaten down by an Earl (and his family!) who won her in a game? Will she find her way in this strange circumstance? Or will she end up dead, because her step-brother has basically sold her to pay off his wagers! Who really has the luck of those dice?! Read this historical romance to find out!!

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!

This is a historical romance story. This is a newer genre that I am reading and I have found that if you let yourself be immersed into the story, you will love every bit of the historical details. Wareeze Woodson is a new author for me. I love the number of details she includes in her storyline. I could feel myself in the past with the characters. Her characters are amazing. They are fully developed and complicated. This is Emily’s story, and what a story to be part of. Her guardian (step-brother) played a game of chance with Emily on the line and he lost. Emily was now the Earl of Lendbridge’s property. She is unsure of her future. What kind of future can you have with someone you don’t even know? I highly recommend this book. I found Emily’s story engaging and wanting more for her. I cannot wait to read more books by this author.

Not completely what I expected…… IN A GOOD WAY!!!
The mystery and suspense of “Who” could be targetting them was an excellent plot twist. It definitely brought something different to the story.
Used as collateral Emily definitely didn’t see her night going from a normal outing to ending up married, did she….
Woodson is a new Author to me and writes historical Romance in the more traditional way (the way I like) I’m definitely checking out more of her books

The Earl’s Scandalous Wager by Wareeze Woodson was a really good read. While the events that take place happen quickly, it felt like it took a while for this novel to pick up its pace. Once it did, I could hardly put this book down! It got very interesting, very quickly to me. I especially enjoyed the fact that this is the first historical fiction novel I’ve read that has been published recently that actually read like a classic romance novel. I thought that was very interesting and just added to this books charm. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel and I hope to read more from this author in the future.

The Earl’s Scandalous Wager by Wareeze Woodson is a perfect read for anyone who loves historical romances or mysteries. The love story between Emily and Phillip felt natural and not forced. You’ll be rooting for them to let their walls down and let love in. Also, I usually solve the mystery well before the big reveal, but this time I didn’t. Every time I thought I had it solved, my guess would be proven innocent. This book will have you guessing even at the start of the big reveal.

In historical romance there are things you expect and there are things that you expect to be glossed over or changed for the genre such as the treatment of women. However, it was very jarring to continuously have the Earl and every other man think about the main character Emily as a possession. As is always the case, I wish there was a longer time between the meeting and the proper relationship starting because it felt very rushed to me that they got married and then the next day Emily was already practically in love with him. Period romances are my favorites and I was very excited to read this book to add another to the ever growing pile but I ended up slightly disappointed because the characters were coarse and at the best of times fickle. The cute and romantic moments were very wonderful and it was super sweet. Overall, a quaint period romance for a quick change of pace for someone.

Fantastic Book!! Great Historical read. Totally worth the time!! My heart really ached for Emily, whom was caught in the middle between her step brothers financial debt, a bet in which he loses and the people whom try and tear her and the Earl of Lenbridge (Phillip Beckley Benton) apart. I know that the Earl of Lenbridge really loves Emily deep down and I am glad he won against Emily’s step brother. There is some mystery as well to this story. I very much enjoyed this book! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The Earl’s Scandalous Wager by Wareeze Woodson.
This is an historical romance, written in the old school style- keeping true to the language and style of the era. I read a lot of historical romances, but it did take me a few beats to get into the style of writing, as well as this type of dialogue, but it didn’t take too long for me to settle into the story. Everything was very ‘proper’, including the intimate scenes- where the sex was suggested, but not depicted in any great detail. Again, in keeping with the era- and the old school style.
Emily is quite beside herself when her stepbrother, and legal guardian, places his bets in a card game by using her as his collateral. You guessed it, her brother loses the bet, and Emily becomes the Earl of Lenbridge’s prize of the night. What will he decide to do with her? Will it all end in heartache and scandal? If you really want to know, then you should snap up a copy and discover all the details for yourself- no spoilers here.
While I did enjoy the story for the most part, there were a few frustrating moments for me that detracted a little from my overall enjoyment of the story. I found that the storyline was full of contradictions… things that pulled me out of the story and made me go back to reread sections thinking that I had maybe misread or misunderstood them. But no, I hadn’t- the story was just contradicting itself a little. Things like;
“Not that Annalise was necessarily vicious, but she certainly enjoyed tweaking Emily when she could.”
Then only a short while later, this…
“Annalise would use the information to discredit his wife. Annalise was a spiteful, jealous cat…”
And this is just one example of quite a few instances of contradictions- it really frustrated me.
This is my first read by Wareeze Woodson, so I will definitely explore more of her work in order to get a better ‘feel’ for her style and stories.
If you love old school historical romances, with meddling relatives, jealous adversaries, hidden agendas, danger, and drama- then this is definitely the book for you.

Thank you, Wareeze Woodson!

The Earl’s Scandalous Wager by Wareeze Woodson was a great historical romance. I adored Emily as a character and worried about what would happen to her. The attention to detail was spot on and it really helped immerse me into the story. The dialogue kept me immersed as well. I enjoyed the plot, it’s not everyday you’re used as a bargaining chip.

I have to admit that I’m partial to historical romance, but I loved this book. The story begins with the introduction of Emily Ann Brumville being wagered by her brother in a game of dice. It sounds quite shocking in today’s world but was even more shocking then. We follow the aftermath of that bet as well as the ripple effects in the life of Lord Phillip Lenbridge. Phillip and Emily are sweet and fun together. Their dialogue and banter together are fun to read and will put a smile on your face. I highly recommend this book to entertain you and sweep you away for a while.

I like historic romances and what better than one with a twist. This book has a dash of romance and is also a suspense thriller. Emily Brumville, the heroine, has been waged against a bet that her step-brother made, because of his gambling problem. He was sure that he would win the wager. But unfortunately, he loses. Now Emily is at the mercy of the handsome Earl of Lenbridge, Phillip Beckley Benton. Emily is worried if the Earl will propose marriage to her or should she live as his mistress. There are people trying hard to separate them from coming together. Someone is trying to tear them apart, and the suspense builds when unexpected things start happening.
I enjoyed this author. As I said earlier, I like historic romances and this one was a real breezy read. A brave heroine, a dashing hero and the suspense looming around the corner, perfect recipe for a good book.

I LOVE historical romance so when I read the synopsis for this book, I couldn’t wait to start it and it was just such a brilliant read. I loved every single page, word, second of it. I was transported to this wonderful time period which the author had written about in such beautiful detail, it was really great to read. I loved the characters and I really felt for Emily, wagered by her stepbrother in a game. I really enjoyed reading about her relationship with the Earl of Lenbridge – there were so many things going on in their lives I wondered whether they could actually make their marriage work.
This was my first book by this author and I will definitely be looking forward to reading more. Historical romance fans will absolutely love this book – I know I did!

I am a huge fan of historical romance and this book hit the spot. Historical romance meets murder mystery! The whole book will keep you guessing as to what will happen next. I really enjoyed the characters in this novel. Emily, the leading lady is put up in a game of chance by her guardian/step brother. Enter the Earl of Lenbridge, who wins her and marries her that night.

Through everything, Emily is able to keep her cool and outwardly seem unfazed despite accidents happening, a spurned ex-fiancee and murders.

I will be seeking out more novels by this author.

Emily Brumville has been placed up for collateral against a bet that her step-brother made. He was sure that he would be the winner, but he lost on the last role of the die. Although the marriage between Emily Brumville and Phillip Beckley Benton, Earl of Lenbridge was not expected to happen they do try to make the best of it. As they get to know one another and make a go of their marriage there are those that are trying their hardest to sabotage them. Will this fledgling marriage be able to weather the storm? Who is behind trying to tear these two apart? Everyone is a suspect when strange things start to happen and they all have a good reason.

This was the first time I have read anything by this author and I enjoyed her writing style. I especially enjoyed Emily’s character. All the characters were great, but she was my favorite. Though she was young, she was determined to make the best of the situation she found herself in.

Historical Fiction has always been a favorite of mine. Wareeze Woodson wrote an amazingly sweet novel with great historical detail and that lets you sink into the story. I could hardly put it down.

Emily Riventon is used as collateral for her stepbrother’s wager. Unfortunately for Emily, her step brother loses, the game of chance and we start our story with Phillip Beckely Benton, the Earl of Lenbridge. From here the story starts to get real good. This book kept me entertained and I couldn’t stay away.

I enjoyed the characters that Woodson brought to life. Sometimes when we are in the Earl’s point of view, to me the flow was a little unsettled at times. Although, not enough that I would rate it any less stars.

The Earl’s Scandalous Wager by Wareeze Woodson is a historical period romance that does not let the readers down. In addition to romance genre themes, there are also some mystery and drama when it comes to family betrayals with all the scheming, and plotting. The beginning starts out with the main character Emily Brumville being practically given away in a wager to settle her stepbrother’s debts. Phillip Beckley Benton is the Earl of Lenbridge is the winner of this little bet and Emily was the reluctant prize to be won. Despite these unsavory turn of events, they find themselves in a budding romance as newlyweds. It does seem the family may have other ideas as readers follow these two characters. For me, this was an enjoyable read. I recommend this book to adults who enjoy period fiction and historical romance.

This is the first time reading a Wareeze Woodson book. It pulled me in rather quickly. I give Emily, the heroine of the story, full credit of said pulling me in. She is a likable character that you can’t help to feel for. When you meet dear Emily she is put up as collateral by her guardian to pay his debts. (Rude and most definitely had to be illegal.) But with a stroke of luck or horror, depending on whom you ask, Earl of Lenbridge wins. The progresses at a fast pace and is an easy read. I definitely recommend it to other historical romance lovers

I loved this book! Period romances are always a gamble for me, some I can get into and some fall short, this book was definitely a win. I liked the fact that this story was not only romance and steamy moments, there was betrayal, plotting of murder, evil family members and a spy. Philip loves Emily, even though he doesn’t admit it readily, the way he acts towards her, anyone can tell. But the way he acts towards her.. sometimes I wish Emily would tell him off, but that would not be appropriate for the times. Annalise is a nasty mess, and throughout the whole book I was wishing she would get slapped, but I guess her fate was worse since she was in a way abandoned, or what I would qualify as abandoned when she is found out. Emily is a sweetheart and handled everything so perfectly, I hate that she had to put up with Annalise and sometimes her husband’s actions and words. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store next.

At first I wasn’t completely into the storyline with Emily being won in a bet to absolve her stepbrother of his debts. However reminding myself that this was typical of the times I managed to overcome this and actually really get into the story. The writing is very descriptive in a way that completely immerses you in the story and the characters are written with depth and this helped me connect with them and engage in their lives. i enjoyed finding out about what would happen after the Earl one his bet and where Emily fit in his life. Fans of Bridgerton and Austen will enjoy this.

This was quite an interesting read from the very beginning. The Earl draws you in with his gallantry and then his misunderstanding of the workings of the female mind! (I feel like the author captured how men think eloquently!) Emily is someone you want to be friends with because of all the misfortunes that happen to her. You want to cheer her on and encourage her.

This was a romance novel without being over the top explicit. I appreciated that, too!

The Earl’s Scandalous Wager by Wareeze Woodson is a tale of a young woman of noble birth who is put up as a wager by her stepbrother due to his gambling problem. When we first meet Emily Brumville, she is in considerable distress because the situation her stepbrother has put her in. Outwardly, she strives to not look so worried & scared. Emily cannot believe all of the gentleman at the table are actually going through with this wager.

This story and how the main characters, Emily Brumville and Phillip Beckely Benton, Earl of Lenbridge start learning about each other and interacting caught my attention right away. I couldn’t wait to read more about the newlyweds and how they build their relationship to each other’s benefit and hopefully eventually to love each other. To add to the mix, Phillip’s family members, the woman Phillip had planned to marry, and Emily’s stepbrother, all seem to be under suspicion as the one causing mischief against the newlyweds. Who could be so against this union? What would be their motive?

I really enjoyed this book. I hope you do too.

The Earl’s Scandalous Wager, by Wareeze Woodson, is a historical romance you won’t soon forget. When Emily is used as a wager in a bet, she can’t believe the men would follow through and allow it. It becomes all too real when Emily’s stepbrother loses the bet and she is now the property of the Earl of Lenbridge.

What is in Emily’s future? Will she be traded again? Will she be forced to marry this man. Worse yet, will she be his mistress? I love the way this story played out and can’t wait to delve into more stories by Wareeze.

I love reading historical fiction and am pleased to have discovered a new author having thoroughly enjoyed this novel by Wareeze Woodson. This wonderfully written story is full of historical detail and time period social niceties all of which added to the feeling of being immersed in this story and the era. Both the characters and the setting were bought to life by the authors descriptive narrative and I felt engaged with the characters, especially the likeable Emily. Emily Riventon is pledged by her stepbrother and guardian as collateral for his wager in a game of chance. Emily is shocked that both her stepbrother and the other gents involved in the game are willing to use Emily in a bet and tries hard not to show her terror, especially when her guardian looses both the bet and her. The handsome Earl of Lenbridge is the winner and wins Emily, but what does he intend on doing with his prize. Emily does not know what her future holds and whether she will become a mistress or a wife. The storyline flows well and the exciting plot kept me happily turning the pages and I was hooked from page one. I definitely recommend this enjoyable and engaging page turner.
