It was just the installment of enjoyment I needed. It was lovely! There’s built up tension between the two characters, mutual pining, banter, working class heroine, naval captain, cartography, delicious build up of intimacy, and a great secondary plot too. Īfter reading A Daring Pursuit earlier this year, when I saw this one come out I knew I needed it. But when a threat from Morgan’s past puts them both in danger, Harry discovers that she and Morgan might not be enemies at all. She has enough on her plate dealing with her father’s failing eyesight and a rival mapmaker copying her work to play wicked games with a dastardly Davies―however tempting he might be. Harriet’s always wanted witty scoundrel Morgan, and now he’s back as handsome and as taunting as ever. When Harriet’s revealed to be the very mapmaker he seeks, Morgan decides to combine revenge and seduction into one delightful package. His incarceration has clarified his feelings for her, but convincing the infuriating woman he wants to marry her is going to be his greatest challenge yet. He’s also vowed to claim the winner’s prize―three kisses―in the bet he made with his long-time nemesis, the prickly, smart-mouthed Harriet Montgomery. Shipwrecked and imprisoned thanks to an incorrect map, Captain Morgan Davies has returned to London to exact sweet revenge on the cartographer responsible for his suffering. All opinions are my own.Īvailable: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | BookShop Martin's Press and NetGalley for allowing me to read an ARC. A Wicked Game BY Kate Bateman Rating: 4.5/5
