Bronwyn Scott is a writer of great talent who is able to construct story settings that are an immersive experience for the reader, whether they are a country house kitchen by lamplight, a secret cove at moonlight, or a London ballroom in the unforgiving glare of hundreds of candles. And in these settings, she skillfully drops in fully realized characters who live their lives to the fullest. I hope my review of "A Wager to Tempt the Runaway" will tempt you.

There is so much suspense in the last quarter of the book. Of course, being a romance novel, you know there is going to be a HEA in the end. But how Josefina and Owen will get there is where the story lies. Who will give in to the other first? Will they both meet each other partway? What is to become of their priorities, their obligations, their promises? Will their marriage find the stability it needs despite the compromises they will each have to make? Sometimes, authors rush the end in order to tie everything up handsomely. Scott makes the protagonists and reader sweat for their hard-earned HEA. I highly recommend "A Wager to Temp the Runaway."
