About this listen
New York Times bestselling author Cathy Maxwell begins a spectacular new series, the Gambler’s Daughters. Three aristocratic sisters must use their wits and wiles to make their ways in Regency London...only to learn the path to making a brilliant society marriage isn’t easy—especially when Love gets in the way!
To Marry a Duke…
Once there were three Irish sisters—Gwendolyn, Dara, and Elise—who had to fend for themselves when their gambler of a father disappeared, leaving them with an unscrupulous cousin. Dara hatches a daring plan: they gamble what little they own to finance a London season. Her goal: to use their looks and their wits to find a duke to marry for each sister!
It seems her crazy plot might work when the sisters are declared the “Incomparables” of the Season. Dukes and lords line up at their door, but bold women and scandal always go hand in hand. Particularly when Dara’s plans are challenged by the likes of Michael Brogan, who provokes Dara as much as he tempts her. The handsome, clever, and rising politician is definitely not a duke, but he’s determined to teach her about ambition, men, and, above all, love, making Dara wonder if her plans are about to change.

Clara may be the woman Adam wants, but there's one problem: She's far more interested in publishing her women's journal than getting married - especially to a man said to be dead-set on vengeance. Though with her nose for a story, Clara wonders if his desire for justice is sincere - along with his incredibly unnerving intention to be her husband. If her weak-kneed response to his kiss is any indication, falling for Adam clearly comes with a cost. But who knew courting danger could be such exhilarating fun?

Excellent narrative,
Creditworthy!
It was interesting!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
mundane subject but interesting characters
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I had trouble connecting to the main couple,and was more interested the other characters because they were overshadowed by more interesting characters .
I feel that this book was written in order to set up the other books to come in this series. I am looking forward to Gwendolyn and Beckett Steelers story and plan to continue with the series
Slow Moving Just OK
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
However, I am not a fan of this narrator. her crackly voice was jarring at times. When speaking as a charachter it was fine. Yet inner tjoight and discriprion gelt like an old lady who could barely scratch out a word, felt odd.
Elise and Gwendalyn are interesting and I cant wait for Steels story.
write on fear one, I am a hopelessly devoted Maxwell fan.
