Never Gamble Your Heart

By: Lindsay Lovise

Narrated by: Ella Lynch, Rupert Channing

Chemistry sizzles between a math-obsessed governess and a rakish gambling den owner in this Victorian—for fans of Manda Collins and Netflix's Bridgerton!

When the genteelly born, impoverished Frankie Turner's impulsive younger sister goes missing, Frankie has no idea where to begin the search to find her. But when she discovers hasty marriages materializing between “troublemaking” women and men who don’t deserve them, she knows her sister is somehow involved. The only thread connecting the groomsmen is a membership to Rockford’s, an exclusive gambling hell owned by the devilish Jasper Jones. And it just so happens that Jasper has recently become the guardian of a sullen fifteen-year-old.

Jasper suspects his new governess has an ulterior motive for being in his household, but he can hardly find the time to uncover it when his life is in a constant uproar. First, Frankie teaches his niece how to count cards and then she tries to break into his study. When he finally learns Frankie’s true reason for being there, he agrees to help the brilliant mathematician find her missing sister, even if it means giving her a fake dowry and watching men trip over themselves in her presence. As he and Frankie work together to dismantle a nefarious scheme, Jasper realizes that for the first time in his life, he’s gambled his heart—and possibly lost it.

Love the story line but…

I loved the storyline but it had just too much detailed sex in it for me to recommend it.

I loved this book!

The publisher sent me a physical copy of this one so I wanted to read and listen in tandem. (Hello British accents!) It was just as fun as I imagined it would be.
I enjoy regency romance but adore stories of the other classes in society and jump at the opportunity to read about women in STEM. Which is why Frankie’s mathematical mind was the pièce de résistance in a list of fantastic tropes brought forth in this plot. Seriously, the list of tropes included enemies to lovers, a who done it mystery, rake/ spinster pairing, he falls first love story, and single father romance elements.
Which is why I highly recommend this for anyone that enjoys regency romances, STEMinist romances, cozy mysteries, and British accents.

Charming & Delightful!

I absolutely adored Never Blow a Kiss and the charm and wit continued over into Never Gamble Your Heart. I love the cheekiness of the heroines, the delicious slow burn and touch of mystery added to each of these historical romances. I just wish I didnt devour them so quickly, I cant wait for the rest of the series!

Historical Romane/Mystery Perfection!

Once again Ella Lynch and Rupert Channing deliver impeccable performances, bringing the characters of Frankie and Jasper to life. Ella has such a charming English accent I just love to listen to and Rupert definitely brings the charming rake to life. I cannot recommend this enough for any historical romance fan!

Charming story well told.

Good narration of a sweet tale that includes romance and adventure in a historical setting.
