This review is from: The Wolfe Wager (A Zebra Regency Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Although often contorted, this book is a fun break from reality. Ms. Ferguson offers appealing characters and a credible romance. The contrived plot is what keeps this from being a truly excellent book. The heroine distains the season because she is searching for her lost brother. But somehow she turns abrupted to allow all three gentlemen involved in the wager to court her seperately. And then there is the government, which denies that her brother is still alive, but secretly knows he is a prisoner of war. Why would the government hide this? It would actually be in their best interest not to mess with the peerage's inheriting structure and mess up the title system with their denials.
Overall, the strong characters make up for an inherently weak plot and make this a pleasant read.
