Status Updates From The Duke's Wager (Bessacarr...

I just realized this is a love triangle. And nope

“No resources. No protector. You are my natural meat, Regina. My natural prey. I want you.” Ohhh, a rake hero who actually behaves like an evil rake!

Re- reading an ole favorite

And you are a commoner. Moreover, much to my joy, you are a commoner with no connections at all. No resources. No protector. You are My natural prey. I want you. Not, perhaps, in a spiritual fashion, rather in a very mortal fashion. For I, too, am a creature most singularly untouched by the gentler emotions. It is not gentle emotions that I spoke of, though. But I do want you, and what I want, I eventually have.

“It’s very simple, my dear. Very unfair, if you will, but nonetheless, simple. I am not a good man. I am at the present, as a matter of record, rejoicing in one of the most evil reputations in all of England. But don’t pity me, Regina, for I swear it is well deserved. But I am very wealthy, and I am a duke, a duke of all things.”

This is very well written. A shame every single character is the Absolute Worst.

What a bastard these two are!!

What dirty plan he has now 😤..

Where is the skillet?
I need to smash this hero’s head!! 😡

Why did we get so much of St. John’s POV?

For in truth, she had no class to which she belonged.
She had the manner and grace of a lady, the education of a young gentleman, and the family background of sober, strict bourgeois merchants.

Oh, I can love this heroine’s character already:))
