Ashford McNab displays the full gamut of emotions while narrating the third title in Bowen’s Season for Scandal series. McNab’s theater training allows her to create a believable cast of characters spanning from the haut ton to lords of the criminal underworld. Angelique Archer has had enough of being passive and decides to take fate into her own hands, using Alexander Lavoie’s club to make the money her family so desperately needs. But when Lavoie unexpectedly catches her, all bets are off. While the final reveal of the villain is not really all that surprising to anyone paying attention, McNab’s complete commitment to the text more than makes up for it. Another recommended title for those who prefer their romances unabashedly feminist. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
A card counter and a rumored assassin gamble on working together in this thrilling romance from a "charming, clever, and engaging storyteller" (Sarah MacLean, New York Times).
He should have thrown her out. But when club owner Alexander Lavoie catches a mysterious blonde counting cards at his vingt-et-un table, he's more intrigued than angry. He has to see more of this beauty-in his club, in his office, in his bed. But first he'll have to devise a proposition she can't turn down.
Gossip said he was an assassin. Common sense told her to stay away. But Angelique Archer was desperate, and Lavoie's club offered a surefire way to make quick money-until she got caught. Instead of throwing her out though, the devil offers her a deal: come work for him. Refusing him means facing starvation, but with a man so sinfully handsome and fiercely protective, keeping things professional might prove impossible . . .
