Synopsis: You
never forget your first love, but is a second chance worth the gamble?
Anthony, Viscount Rawling, knows exactly what he wants
in life and he isn't above having a look about London for it. When he spots
recently widowed Gabriel Tilden at a ton function, he thinks
he might have found love…again.
Gabriel is as gorgeous and reserved as he was when he
broke Anthony's heart seven years ago. But they were only adolescents
then…surely Anthony won't hold the incident against him. And especially not
when the attraction between them is stronger than ever.
Gabriel came to London in search of distraction, and a
teasing Anthony is impossible to resist. As Anthony introduces Gabriel to the
pleasures that can be found in the city—and in his bedchamber—their bond
deepens into something more. Yet both men are hiding secrets that could pull
them apart forever…
Impressions: I've loved this series from book 1,
and Ava March is a go-to for some Regency era MM loving.
This is the first book in the series where the
"Gambling on Love" series title takes on a literal element in the
story. While Anthony has never been able
to let Gabriel out of his heart and mind, Gabriel has been not only gambling on
the love he felt for Anthony, he begins to gamble with his money, valuables, and
property.
Anthony and Gabriel had a brief interlude with each
other, but though they don’t realize it at the time, it was a defining moment
for both of them. Whereas Anthony grows
into a young man who knows his own heart and mind, Gabriel seeks to deny his
own desires and to bury them in the belief that he does not deserve happiness. When he becomes a widower, he becomes even
more convinced that he deserves to be alone and unhappy.
When Gabriel and Anthony meet up again, Gabriel’s self
worth is at an all time low. While he
tries to chase a gambling high, the one place where he feels truly happy is
with Anthony. Watching Anthony support
Gabriel as he learns to love, and learns to love himself, makes his a wonderful
read.
The romance is intense, and these two men are well
developed and complex characters. I
loved seeing these men learn to love, and the addition of the other characters
in this series really added a great element to this story.
This is a wonderful addition to an amazing series and
you do not want to take a gamble by missing any of these books!
