Gaming Hell Christmas, Volume 2

Mysteries abound at the newest Hell in town

In keeping with our Books In A Series events, Wild Women Authors is pleased to offer Gaming Hell Christmas, volume 2, two short Georgian romances plus an epilogue for volume 2/prologue to volume 3.

In Amanda McCabe’s The Thief Who Stole Christmas, the reader meets Rhys Neville, a man who has never broken the rules and Victoria Lanford. a woman who just might break his heart.

As one of Miss Greensley's Girls and [in]famous author Lady L, few people realize how Victoria’s unhappy childhood and anxiety led her to a compensating habit of picking pockets. When she comes face-to-face with a flame from that same miserable childhood, Rhys Neville, Earl of Hammond, she comes to realize the kind-hearted but strait-laced young man is the right man for her—especially when her past comes back to haunt them.

Kathy L. Wheeler reintroduces readers to two intriguing characters from Volume 1 in The Kerse Who Saved Christmas: Davin Barlowe, Viscount Kerse, he of the no nonsense approach to life and Philomena Staunton, one of Miss Greensley’s Girls, a woman long past prime marriageable age. Feeling he needs a keeper more than he requires a wife, the dreamy-eyed and impractical Philomena steals his heart despite her unrealistic beliefs and trust in fortune tellers. Then, the fun really begins.

Last, but not least, in The Front Side of the Christmas Shilling, a very short, sweet bridge between Volumes 2 and 3, Lady Philomena's happy ending is marred by the disappearance of her twin, Thomasina. It's been almost a year since anyone has seen Thom and Phil misses her desperately. The pain of that loss brings Philomena to her knees, literally and physically.

 Our Review: Gaming Hell Christmas, Volume 2, is more than two well written, cleverly plotted romances between two women and the men who love them beyond distraction. It is a love story between The Greensley Girls—eight young women from drastically different backgrounds who, at a crucial time in their lives, forge bonds that go on to last a lifetime. Bonds which every woman searches for and, for a few, are lucky enough to find, then cherish forever.

Based on a scale of 1-5, Gaming Hell Christmas, Vol 2, merits an 8.
