Tessa Dare’s books might talk about wallflowers but they are the belle of the historical romance! The Wallflower Wager is charming, entertaining and deserves everyone’s attention!
Penny lives isolated with her only companion her animals. Her furry friends are sometimes demanding and difficult but with her love, they all thrive. Now to tame the beast next door…
Gabriel is a ruthless businessman, a self-made man who takes whatever he wants except the aloof animal whisperer that lives right beside him. She provokes him like no other but she is a forbidden fruit that he wants to bite but cannot have a taste.
When she asks for his help finding a forever home for her animals, they are both in for an unforgettable adventure.
Penny is a hilarious heroine. She is witty, smart and forward for her times. She is not afraid to give her opinion, make decisive moves and be courageous. She has an open heart and a loving hand.
Gabriel might have started as poor and now everyone considers him as a scoundrel but the man has integrity. He treats her as a gentleman on the streets and as a beast on the sheets. He is loyal, protective and caring.
I have to comment about the steam of this book. Their sexy scenes are so unbelievably hot. Penny and Gabriel connect to all levels and their sensuality is so scorching! Prepare to fan yourselves!
Penny’s animals bring so much joy to this book! They work as secondary characters especially the provoking parrot. You are going to laugh so much with their scenes.
The Wallflower Wager might be my favorite book by Tessa Dare so far! It combines the romance of history with a contemporary vibe and has a fantastic couple that will make you swoon!
