About this listen
A woman who becomes a gambling prize discovers that nothing is more seductive, or dangerous, than love...
When her father auctions her off to pay his gambling debts, Melissa Seacourt vows that she will be no man's bought bride. Desperate to escape her fate shackled to someone she could never love, Melissa instead is forced to honor and obey the seductive stranger who comes to her rescue.
Purchasing a wife for 20,000 guineas wasn't the end game Nicholas Barrington envisioned when he walked into the notorious Newmarket gambling club. But the innocent Melissa arouses much more than his protective instincts. It will take all of Nick’s skill and daring to best a cunning adversary hellbent on his destruction. With two lives now hanging in the balance, Nick's playing for the highest stakes of all: his future with the woman who won his heart.

“Not much sense in the noodle”
This is a very interesting story with dark themes continuing on from Book 1 of the aptly named Dangerous series. The storyline is well-devised although I can’t say there were many characters whom I found likeable (as those that weren’t rotten eggs had characteristics I found annoying).
Melissa is incredibly gullible with a warped rationale undoubtedly shaped from her dreadful upbringing and filial influences. By some amazing chance she finds herself saved from ruination by Nicholas who, despite his ‘famed temper’, treats her with patience and gentleness.
Pity that Melissa finds it difficult to accept Nick’s decisions, as her defiance, lack of honesty and poor decision-making constantly lands her in several precarious situations. She has more lives than a cat and never seems to fully grasp how lucky she is to escape or be rescued from an even worse fate.
Nick is all that an HR hero should be, and with the patience of a saint. Melissa does eventually gather her senses and love prevails - thank goodness or I would’ve really disliked this book.
I do recommend this audiobook and suggest that listeners persist to the end as it is worth it.
Although I find Charley’s man-hating dialogue tedious, I am most curious to listen to her story next.
