Wow! Was this fantastic!!! A "sit down and don't get up until you have turned the last page" type of book. Anyone who loves historical fiction, thrillers, or whip-smart badass heroines will devour this! I can hardly sing its praises enough! This was by first book by Alex Hay but it certainly won't be my last. Highly recommended and if I could, I would give it 10 stars! Seriously, run to your nearest bookstore and get a copy when it is published. I have already preordered it, and have plans to read this again in paper form to mark all my favorite passages!

This was fine. I went into it expecting it was a romance and was disappointed. There were too many characters and it tried to keep the reader in the dark for too long, in my opinion.

I got this book as an Arc from NetGalley.

Set in London in the 1800s. Honestly this book was okay. I feel like certain parts could have been taken out to move the story faster. Overall it was a good quick read. Perfect for two plane rides!

Alex Hay brings us the story of Quinn le Blanc, a very talented con woman in 1898 London. She has set her sights on one of the richest families in England. Her target is to get the duke to the marriage altar then take the family fortune. As she gets closer to her goal, the more deceptions start to unfold. Quinn is hiding behind the facade of a wealthy heiress, but she finds out that she is not the only one keeping secrets. What happens when every turn is met with suspicion and deceit? Follow along with Quinn to see what happens when she sets her sights on Max, the Duke of Kendal, and his family. See what twists and turns happen as each player moves forward in their games and what happens once all bets are in and the dice are thrown.

Alex Hay brings us the story of Quinn and those in her employ as we try to figure out how they are going to pull of the wedding of the year. See what happens as each player plays a set across the board and how that impacts all the other players. You keep wanting to turn the page to see what happens next.

I have read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I would like to thank NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing | Graydon House for this privilege.

London, 1896. The city's most gifted con woman attempts to wed a Duke and filch a fortune from England's wealthiest family. Gripping!
