"IN THE GAME OF LOVE“Sophie Blake’s grandfather willed his fortune to the first of his granddaughters to marry a duke. Since her cousin, Deirdre, will seal the deal any day now, the quiet, bookish Sophie can sit back and enjoy her time with the only man she truly adores: Graham. No matter that the part-charmer, part-scoundrel has absolutely no designs on her! Sophie is content to engage Graham in lively conversation, beat him at cards…and probe at the darkness hiding behind his rakish smile.
“YOU’VE GOT TO PLAY BY HEART…
“Then Graham unexpectedly gains a title, an estate in near ruins and a mountain of debt. If there is any chance of survival he must find a rich wife—quickly. As his hunt for a bride begins, Sophie realizes that she isn’t even in the running. Suddenly no longer content to be a wallflower, Sophie gets a stunning makeover and becomes the belle of the ball. Plenty of heads are turning…including Graham’s. But this beauty has secrets of her own. Will she be his salvation, or seal his fate?
There was an EINTIRELY unexpected twist in this book and it was WONDERFUL! It was so well-written that I didn’t see it coming and I love Celeste Bradley all the more for it. The language was—as always—eloquent and suited all of the characters perfectly.
I fell in love with Graham and felt for his loss (which I will not give away!) and Sophie only made him seem more human. Sophie, herself, was a very dynamic character and was entirely relatable. Overall, I loved this story and Celeste Bradley never ceases to amaze me. I felt a little of myself die inside when I realized that this was the latest book that Bradley has written… That means that I have read ALL of her books! I certainly hope she writes more as soon as possible because I don’t know how long I can go on without her writing! (Dramatic, I know, but true!)
