My second spin with LaVryle Spencer has again been a pleasing experience. THE GAMBLE grabbed my attention quickly and I found the characters unusual and well developed.
I thought I was heading for a higher rating because Scott and Gussie (Agatha) were wonderful enemies, then friends. These two were from different sides of the tracks in terms of moral code and saloon owner and milliner ended up with a begrudging truce. There was a gorgeous family element to this story that was diversity before diversity was a thing.
Where’s things went a bit astray for me was with the hero, Scott. There were issues involving more than one woman that I found hard to stomach especially in it’s persistance. I have taken into consideration the era this book is set in and also the era this book was written in and still I struggle with this issue. It soured things a little for me.
I think LaVryle Spencer can craft a skillful story with detail and fullness. I’m really looking forward to reading more from her.
