She likes calculated risk, he’s a chance... all bets are off!

~ Doris & Georges ~
A country miss with an exceptional love of numbers on a mission to save her parents by playing cards and making the gentlemen of Bath’s purses a little lighter. If only that silly persistent lord would stop hounding her and side-tracking her plans.
An earl, a gambling fool with two unlucky racehorses and determined to never marry, who simple cannot get over the fact he’s been beaten by a woman. There’s something about her, and he’ll get to the bottom of her scheme - one way or the other.

An unlikely pairing for certain, these two managed to keep me spellbound till the end!
For all his goofy enthusiasm - he’s like this tail-wagging overly happy puppy; a little impulsive and pushy, but with the biggest heart (not that he will admit to that) - she’s more sober, cautious and calculated - literally; she trusts numbers and logic, but she can’t deny how at ease he makes her feel. They take things slow; a considerate friends-to-lovers slow burn even though he falls head-over-heels (again, not that he will admit to that because he doesn’t do love. Ever!) and I like that for once it’s actually the woman who screws up - yet it’s still him doing the grovelling.

This story was both steamy and adorable, touching yet light and fun. It gave me all the warm and fuzzy with a few laughs, a splash of scandal, a thoughtful grand gesture gone astray, and a wickedly delicious diner invite. This was a wonderful read that perfectly fits in with this delightful series, and I can’t wait to read the next one!

I’m a sucker for good and strong main female characters and Dodo, Miss Doris Loughty is so good that she makes you want to stay in her story forever
.
That's why I understand that a man blinded by the next bet to win only sees his attention diverted from his affairs when he sees her entering the gaming hell he is in.
.
George Chance, the earl of Lindow, only has to win a hand or several to recover what he is losing in the races and when he sees Doris for the first time, in addition to seeing that she is very attractive, he thinks that she is an easy hand to deprive of some bills.
.
But when he is proven wrong he tries to do everything possible to find out how she is doing it, because surely there is a trick behind it.
.
But she has no tricks up her sleeve except that her brain loves math and can know exactly the odds of having a good hand. But with the Earl of Lindow chasing her, she can only accept the truce of teaching him how to play his cards.
.
But of course, being so close, no matter how much she tries to stay firm and not give up anything personal, while trying to make more money betting it is quite difficult.
.
I loved Dodo, George is good, but I adore strong female characters especially at a time when they were not favored and couldn't go far. A woman who looks for a gap and tries to make her way by challenging the ideas of society and especially the most famous Rake in the Ton.
.
This is the second book I have read in this series and although each book is different like its characters, they are all so captivating that I end up thinking that the book is very short.

Thanks to Emily E. K. Murdoch and Dragonblade publishing for give me a copy of this beautiful book in exchange for muy honest and voluntary opinion

For me, this third book in the series was a bit disappointing and I didn’t like either of the main characters and her name just annoyed me 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m actually looking forward to book 4 and that brother seems the most interesting

A good addition to the series!

George the gambler of the family meets his match in Doris (Dodo). Doris is a maths genius who deals in numbers and George keeps trying to convince himself that his big day will soon come.

The sizzle between these two is felt throughout the story and the witty moments make this a really enjoyable read with some slight steamy moments.

Lessons learned soon lead to love and eventually their HEA.

I voluntarily read and reviewed this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

Obsessions, Lessons, Discovering, Romance
The plot of the story other than finding romance is quite simple as Doris (aka Dodo) is a card expert with mathematic skills like no other. She needs to send home money to save her parents from losing everything.
Arriving on the scene is George one of the Chance brothers that is a compulsive gambler who loses more than he wins. 
George's meeting and losing to Doris sets the story into many full-blown card lessons along with a very strong attraction between them and we follow them through many frustrating ups, downs, and secrets before they reach a happy conclusion.
My enjoyment of this story was limited. I really didn't care for either of the characters much and the plot didn't captivate me like the previous Chance stories.
💖Favorite character: Viscount Pernrith the half-brother who adds some responsibility and depth to the Chance family
📖Story rating: 3.5 rounded up to 4.

Dodo has come to Bath to gamble in order to earn money to save her parents.
She meets George, an Earl who is a gambler and horse owner for racing and betting.
Initial meeting over cards leads to contentious relationship as they each learn to appreciate each others flaws and good character.
Some twists and a betrayal add to the excitement.
A good addition to the Chance brothers series.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC!

I flew through this book after the reading the previous one - our main character is lovable, and written in not that characteristic "oooh, I'm a numbers genius and no one likes me" kind of way. First of all, she's clearly of the upperclass as far as being well-educated, but doesn't run in London society, the way we see in a lot of other historical romance books. Second, the author has taken clear pains to portray her as a lover of numbers, but not necessarily having that be a repetitive and only quirk, which I appreciated. Though I love a nerdy historical girly no matter in what context, to be fair.
Where I found this book semi-lacking was in our MMC, though through no fault of the writing- I think I'm just not a girl who likes male characters who are a bit childish and out of touch - and it felt like though he kind of learns a little bit of his lesson, he doesn't go through any particular personality changes. I respect that, because I don't believe that just falling in love changes a person so drastically - it's just not my particular partiality in men.

Definitely a great series, and I'm so excited to get our viscount's story!
