How to Best a Marquess

By Tina Gabrielle
How to Best a Marquess by Tina Gabrielle digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

When a handsome boxer kisses Lady Ellie Swift for good luck during a match, it turns her world upside down. Because the rogue isn’t just anyone…it’s the Devil Marquess returned. Thanks to Hugh Vere, Marquess of Deveril, Ellie learned at an early age that men are more trouble than they’re worth. Now, instead of a husband, she wants to take over her brother’s infamous gambling club—the Raven Club. And apparently the devil wants it, too.

From the moment Hugh sees Ellie again sparks fly, but battle lines have been drawn. Whoever is the most successful overseeing the club in one month’s time will win. And Hugh intends to win. And he intends to stay very close to Ellie to make sure she follows the rules. What he discovers, though, is that Ellie is no longer the sweet girl he knew years ago—and winning won’t be easy. But the nearly combustible chemistry between them is hard to ignore, and soon the club is not the only prize he wants…

Each book in the Raven Club series is STANDALONE:
* How to Tempt an Earl

How to Best a Marquess Reviews

4.0
“She's fearless. He's predictable. She knows what she wants. He knows how to get it. What happens when these restless hearts collide? Passion. Ellie and Hugh have a history. Unfinished business is about to explode into irresistible attraction. How to Best a Marquess is a seductive duel of hearts. Gabrielle makes spice a sure bet with this dangerously, naughty affair.”
“I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This wasn't the worst book if I've ever read by a long shot and I don't want this review to make out like it was, it just wasn't anything I haven't read before. I suppose you get to a point as a fan of historical romance when you've read most of what there is and something needs to be absolutely outstanding for it to be counted amongst the books you remember. I think, with this, it was the characters that I didn't like. They both seemed entirely too smug and high handed, although I know that their motives was good. I think I'd read this author again, hopefully I will find other characters of hers more appealing and relatable. Overall, good for a light read if you're not looking for anything too complex. 3 stars.”
