I was delighted by Julia Justiss's WICKED WAGER. Or, rather, I was delighted by Tony. He was a bad boy after my own heart, a hero who knew he'd done some dreadful things in his life, and he was prepared to atone for them. He had every intention of protecting Jenna--from himself, if need be! What heroine could withstand such selflessness? And thank goodness Jenna wasn't a faint-hearted, missish heroine. She was a woman who'd lived and loved and knew that life wasn't always easy, but for every heartbreak, there is redemption. Jenna gave Tony his--and found love in the process. The very classic story of a rogue turned hero by the love of his life is my very favorite, and thanks to Julia Justsiss's style and grace, you can find that in WICKED WAGER.
Wicked....but fun!

Julia Justiss has a winner on her hands; or rather, her readers do! Tony is anything but an honorable man, and Jenna knows it. She, however, is very honorable, and in spite of past feelings does everything she can to nurse him back to health.Once this is completed, she wants nothing more to do with him. But, as I had hoped, things happened rapidly after that. The ways that her characters assist Ms Justiss in writing their story make for a totally engrossing read, one that I didn't want to put down until I was finished. Then, I was looking for more! Ms Justiss has written a wonderful tale, one that shows us strong characters who think they know what they want, and what life has in store for them. They, and the reader, however, are in for some surprises along the way.I highly recommend this one; I've already loaned out my copy!
