In WICKED WAGER Ms. Eikli brings readers a vibrant tale of intrigue, passion, murder, and the hope for redemption. Evoking the era through dress, society, attitudes, as well as weaving in some of the moral issues and hypocrisies of the time, Ms. Eikli gives readers a well rounded look at a slice of “society” life during the Georgian era.
WICKED WAGER kept me on edge, waiting for the next twist in Celeste’s perilous path. With its balanced blend, no one aspect overshadowed another. Ms. Eikli never fails to throw me a curve with there always being a surprise twist.
Will Celeste find a modicum of happiness or, dare we hope, love? You’ll have to read WICKED WAGER to discover that for yourself. Unless your romances have to be steamy, you aren’t likely to be disappointed.
