From Library Journal
In this novel by historical romance writer Feather ( The Eagle and the Dove, Avon, 1991; Brazen Whispers , Avon, 1990), skilled gamesters Judith Davenport and her brother, Sebastian, live to take revenge on the man who ruined their father. Their plan is endangered when Judith becomes involved with Marcus, Lord Carrington. Forced into marriage after one night of passion on the eve of Waterloo, Marcus considers Judith an adventuress, but he is determined to curb her gaming and make her into a respectable wife. Judith will not give up her plan of revenge but walks a fine line between achieving her goal and losing her love. The outcome is evident early in the story, but the characters and the Regency setting are competently handled. Fans of more sensuous romances will appreciate this Loveswept offering.- Barbara E.
