Never Trust a Scoundrel: Gayle Callen

A pact with the devil…

“Miss Grace Banbury was in shock. Her mother put her up as a prize in a high-stakes card game. And now, the gentleman who won is ready to claim her! But Grace has other plans. She just needs the dastardly rogue to go along with it…

“A notorious rake from a scandalous family, Daniel Throckmorten has no use for blushing virgins. Yet there’s no denying the attraction for the beauty standing before him, proposing an enticing wager: He will use all his charm and wit to seduce her into his bed…and she only has to resist. If she succeeds, she wins enough funds to secure her own future. If he wins…she’ll be his. Daniel has never been so tempted—and he has no intention of losing…”

I have been meaning to read Gayle Callen for a while now and I finally got a chance to. I was so excited and was not disappointed in the least! Her plot was really, really fun and unique. Her main male character was striking and very much worth remembering. Her female lead was feisty and powerful. The background itself of the story was really well-planned and I can really tell how much effort and thought went into it. I can honestly really appreciate the quality of Callen’s writing.

This book was so much fun to read and I really, honestly could NOT put it down. Of course, I will read more of her works in the very near future.
