USA TODAY bestselling author Eva Leigh continues her Last Chance Scoundrels series with a steamy romance between two opposites—a rogue with a taste for wagers and a bookish wallflower—who marry for convenience... but neither bet on falling in love.
Finn Ransome is an expert on Lady Luck, which is why he refuses to take a chance on love. Experience has taught him that he’s happier at a gaming table than around people he will, inevitably, disappoint. However, the clock is ticking on his father’s matrimonial demands. But the only woman to catch his eye is a bluestocking who would never consider a rogue like him.
After a disastrous first Season, Tabitha Seaton decided to focus on books instead of ballrooms. She hopes to join the Sterling Society, a collective of the most brilliant, influential minds in London. Except, they will never admit an unmarried lady. Now Tabitha needs a husband, and a notorious, handsome gambler may be her best bet.
Finn and Tabitha are opposites who have no intention of wagering on a love match, and a calculated marriage of convenience solves all their problems—with no risk to their hearts. Once married, however, their potent attraction boils over into a deep passion that neither expected. When a painful mistake drives the new lovers apart, Finn will risk it all to prove a scoundrel and a wallflower are a winning pair...

I was looking forward to reading this story for a while. So imagine my surprise when I found out that it just wasn't my cup of tea.
I just couldn't connect with some of the story. Maybe Tabitha was just too intelligent for me and too much focus was put on those examples. At least for me, like I said.
Finn had his moments though when it came to being more likeable. He also had some interesting ways of addressing situations. Especially towards the end. He really was intelligent in his own way.
The story does have some humor. Also grumpy Dom added something different, that at times did make me smile. Even knowing that he was working off some pain.
I have to give the story points for the parts I liked. I just wish I had liked it more.
