WAGER OF SIN by Jess Michaels

Let the war begin!

Bianca Clairemont and Lucius Hawkins both are in the upper crust of London society, but they are not your typical lords and ladies, as they walk to the beat of their own drummer.

Bianca, through an arranged marriage to “Hawk’s” best friend Oscar, took Bianca to a world that she would have never know in the 1800’s except for Oscar introducing her to a world of sexual desires. A marriage without love that did not survive was all that Bianca had. Upon Oscar’s death Bianca was free to take lovers and gamble, some times loosing a lot of money. She owes Hawk a lot of money.

When Bianca goes to Hawk with a wager of her wanting him to be her lover for thirty days,  with him begging at the end of the thirty days to continue, she will win back the money that she owes Hawk. Hawk wants Bianca to be his mistress for as long as he wants her even if at the end of the thirty days she is begging for him for more time.

While Hawk was Bianca’s gambling partner he wanted more, as she was his obsession and his downfall, Waterloo. Throw in an ex lover bent on destroying Bianca, and the wager between Hawk and Bianca and you have an explosive, tantalizing book to read. With the sexual under currents between Hawk and Bianca, will they realize their desires and let love in?

Fraught with the danger of Bianca's ex lover Everett, who has an abusive side, Wager of Sin is a suspenseful erotic story well worth the look! Wager of Sin is an erotic book that hooks you into reading the whole book in just one.  Even thought it takes place in the 1800’s, you are entranced with Bianca as a woman who is fighting for her independence, Hawk’s ability as a man to fight for the woman he desires and the strength of the story line to make this book well worth the look. 

With two very strong personalities coming into play you are torn between rooting for one or the other to win, as the winner takes all. Not only well written, you are drawn into the story's weaving, enticing tale. I not only enjoyed this book, but it makes me want to go out and get more books by Jess Michaels. I was pleased to find an erotic book full that was steamy, with an excellent plot that grabbed and held my attention through the whole book.

Definitely be on the lookout for any book written by Jess Michaels!  Anything by this author is worthy of getting.
