Reader Review: This is a fast-paced regency read where the unlikely pairing between Joss Tallant and Amy Bainbridge results in some new life experiences, lessons, and realizations for both. I liked how either character was not too extreme in the author's attempt to "educate" or "reform" them, but really - the love scene at the end of the book was completely not necessary. Really detracted from the pace of the rest of the book.
Although exiled to a life of genteel poverty, Miss Amy Bainbridge was a well-bred lady of honor. But when she found herself the recipient of a surprise windfall, her whole life changed! Not only did she reenter society, she also gained the attention of London's most notorious gambler--a rogue determined to claim her as his own!
Joss, Earl of Tallant, was everything Amy despised in a man, but she was utterly intrigued by him. He certainly wasn't interested in her newfound fortune, so why was this renowned scoundrel pursuing her with such intent? And why was she finding his amorous attentions all but impossible to resist...?

The Earl's Prize
Chapter One
Joss - 1792My Lord and Lady Tallant had been quarrelling for the best part of two hours, which was an improvement in their relationship, according to the more cynical members of the servants' hall, for normally they barely exchanged a word. The words that were being exchanged now were less than civil. The Marquis's deep tones vibrated with sufficient anger to shatter the priceless vases on the drawing-room mantelpiece whilst his spouse responded in the shrill accents of one who was determined to break the glass in the fine gilt gesso mirror.
'You've never cared a fig for me, yet now I have the chance of true happiness you have not the generosity of spirit to let me go! Well, I won't stay with you! Never, never, never!'
'Cease this foolish prating, madam, and retire to your room until you can view matters in a more reasonable light. I have tolerated your tiresome infidelities for more years than I care to remember, but give you up to Massingham in this appallingly public manner I will not!'
The sound of breaking china greeted this assertion. The whole structure of the house seemed to shiver. The servants, going about their business via routes that took them close to the drawing-room door, shivered with it.
'I want you to divorce me, Bevill!'
'Pray do not be so absurd, madam. Now kindly withdraw.'
'I shall run away!'
'Foolishness! I will never permit it.'
'You are all bluster and no substance. You always were! I know you will not stand in my way.'
The drawing-room door was flung open and the Marchioness of Tallant flounced through in an explosion of silks and neroli perfume. She threw a challenge over her shou
