While her siblings are content to bet their future happiness on marriage, Payton learned early on from her mother that love is fleeting and leads only to disappointment. She\u2019s got a different plan: she\u2019ll work as a governess for Baron Ashford\u2019s children, but only long enough to win her fortune at one of his infamous masked gaming parties. When she loses big, Payton sees her chance at an independent life go up in flames\u2014until Lord Ashford surprises her by paying her debts.<\/p>\n<p>WHEN LOVE IS IN THE CARDS.<\/p>\n<p>Since the tragic death of his wife, Damon Kinder, Lord Ashford, has been a man made of ice. His determination to never be hurt by love again runs so deep that he can\u2019t even connect with his children. When they quickly take to Payton, he thinks he\u2019s found a solution: she\u2019ll give them the affection and support he can\u2019t. As he spends more time around Payton, his heart begins to defrost, and he can\u2019t stop thinking about the captivating governess.<\/p>\n<p>But every seasoned gambler knows that eventually, luck runs out. Can two souls so burned by past loves forge a new future together?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6166\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png?resize=113%2C51\" alt=\"\" width=\"113\" height=\"51\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/39673843-the-gambler-wagers-her-baron?ac=1&amp;from_search=true\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6156\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png?resize=158%2C45\" alt=\"\" width=\"158\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ss&amp;ref=as_ss_li_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=twintalk-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B07C9KCV23&amp;asins=B07C9KCV23&amp;linkId=5f5cec078e35d3ff7fb55f69f6e3f9aa&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6154\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png?resize=230%2C50\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I received this book from the author for an honest review.<\/p>\n<p>I have been so waiting for Peyton\u2019s book. She was the baby of the family and the secretive one, so I wanted to know how this hard woman would fall or more who would win her heart.\u00a0 I admit I loved seeing her soft side emerge and caring for 2 lost souls much like herself as a child.\u00a0 She is the perfect person to take care of these troublesome kiddos for sure.\u00a0 She can handle the spunk and hurt they feel over the loss of their mother and subsequent father.<\/p>\n<p>Damon is lost without his wife.\u00a0 He can\u2019t imagine a day without her and yet here he is living while she is no more.\u00a0 He is so afraid of screwing up his kids, he hides from them not realizing that is what is screwing them up.\u00a0 Damon is beyond frustrated when the new governess is not able to handle his children and yet she also will not stand down from him when he gives a dictate.<\/p>\n<p>When Damon discovers a \u201csecret\u201d side to his new governess he is beyond interested in her but seeing her care and support for his children makes his heart seize up.\u00a0 He should be the one caring for them and yet she is.\u00a0 He should be the one comforting their night terrors and yet she is the one they come to.<\/p>\n<p>I loved the dynamic of the two.\u00a0 Damon and Pey are prefect matches for each other.\u00a0 She will not allow him to hide from his duties as a father and he shows her that loving a man is more then just giving up your freedom to live in a cage.\u00a0 The love match is a slow burn because they are both from different stations in life and different places.\u00a0 He has no idea of the heartbreak she has felt in her life and she comes to understand what losing is wife has done to him and his children.<\/p>\n<p>Garrett!!\u00a0 Oh Garrett!! I am so ready for your book.\u00a0 Seeing you with the kids made my heart melt like jelly\u2026.seriously I love him so hard and I can\u2019t wait to see some woman make a proper gentleman outta him.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6153\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png?resize=231%2C55\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>USA Today Bestselling Author Christina McKnight writes emotional and intricate Regency Romance with strong women and maverick heroes.<\/p>\n<p>Christina enjoys a quiet life in Northern California with her family, her wine, and lots of coffee.
