I LOVE how Tessa Dare tells a story. I picked this up and that was it! No laundry was done, no errands were run, no dinner was made... and I wasn't a bit sorry! It was just me and this amazeballs book with these awesome characters. I cannot say enough good things about The Wallflower Wager!
The Wallflower Wager (Girl Meets Duke #3) by Tessa Dare
To an undaunted wallflower, he's just the beast next door.
Wealthy and ruthless, Gabriel Duke clawed his way from the lowliest slums to the pinnacle of high society—and now he wants to get even.
Loyal and passionate, Lady Penelope Campion never met a lost or wounded creature she wouldn’t take into her home and her heart.
When her imposing—and attractive—new neighbor demands she clear out the rescued animals, Penny sets him a challenge. She will part with her precious charges, if he can find them loving homes.
Done, Gabriel says. How hard can it be to find homes for a few kittens?
And a two-legged dog.
And a foul-mouthed parrot.
And a goat, an otter, a hedgehog . . .
Easier said than done, for a cold-blooded bastard who wouldn’t know a loving home from a workhouse. Soon he’s covered in cat hair, knee-deep in adorable, and bewitched by a shyly pretty spinster who defies his every attempt to resist. Now she’s set her mind and heart on saving him.
Not if he ruins her first.

There was such a priceless start and I was instantly in
love. I can't begin to explain how much I loved Penny and Gabriel. She
is such a joy with the biggest heart ever. Her compassion knows no bounds.
She's so sweet and a bit naïve, but she's kind and strong and knows her own
mind. I loved her quirkiness. Gabriel was all gruff and sexy, and very intriguing.
I smiled my way through the dialogue and entertaining moments they shared. They
had wonderful chemistry and I loved that simmering passion between them, the
build was off the charts. Seriously, this sucker was on fire!
I'm not sure how I was laughing one minute and teary-eyed
the next but that’s what happened. It was incredibly entertaining but also
filled with these heartfelt, emotional moments I adored. I felt that pain and
heartache when they opened up. I loved how Penny really blossomed and
gained this unwavering confidence. I loved Gabriel, how he faced things from his past
and truly accepting what he was worthy of. I loved the Wallflower women together; how
sweet they were and the family they formed. All the men were extremely
funny. Chase and Ash with Gabriel were a riot. It was just a well-rounded, well
thought out story. I loved the adorable animals and the side stories happening
too. Hints of Nicola's story have me beyond excited, that was a heck of a
teaser woven in. Can’t wait!
This was brilliant, funny, sweet, and sexy. I love a story that pulls me in and hours fly by before I even realize it, I devoured this! It was filled with witty banter, entertaining scenes, a lot of emotion, and holy wow with the heat. An excellent read!
