Review # 1 was written on 2015-09-04 00:00:00 Luis R Ramos It started out good and I was liking it and then it just seemed to bog down and then it went to just okay for me. Both Molly and Kane were interesting people and so was Kane's grandfather Bennett. I guess it slowed down so much when it came to Kane's wrong thinking about locking Molly out of his heart because of the loss of his first wife. He struck a marriage of convenience/business deal with Molly. Sure they both would get what they wanted but Kane was stuck when it came to feeling much. Molly was good for him he even liked her at times. He was struck with her wild Irish beauty and temperament but was also frustrated that she wasn't afraid of him. That made her make some decisions that put her in harms way because she wouldn't obey him on some things. He even thought every time she went off on her own- trouble just seemed to naturally find her. The ending was good but not surprising; although Bennett caused a twist or two of his own. On the plus side- It was a good,clean story.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-10-12 00:00:00 Paula Dunn-johnson I almost didn't read The Wagering Widow. Like many fans of HR novels, I was impatient to get to the romance between heavenly looking people. I am so thankful that I went back to try again. Now having read it, I think it has my favorite hero ever in Lord Guy Keating. Yes, he is good man. If he is just a good man that wouldn't make him stand out from other Heroes. It is the depiction of him as a man who loves women that makes him so endearing to me. As the head of the household of course he is responsible to the lives of his mother, great-aunt and aunt but he takes care of duties out of love. Also, when conflicts arise between his mother and his new wife, he acts with a clear head and would not allow his mother play him a fool. The Hero and Heroine both have to evolve and learn to move pass the past and trust each other again in order for their love to flourish. After having read a majority of Diane Gaston's HR novels to date and compared her works with other authors, I have come to appreciate the historic settings in DG's storytelling and the multi-dimensional characters she creates. I am sure DG has ruined me for HR novels from other authors because I have come to expect to see how heroes and heroines are people who have more than just their love for each other, They are sons, brothers, sisters, daughters, and friends in their lives. Also, they are not always perfect, and well-meaning intensions don't always help to bring perfect situations. I find that DG's HR novels give me the most satisfying reading experiences, and her characters come alive and linger in my mind afterwards for a long time.
