The Widow Wager The Notorious Flynns Book 3 edition by Jess Michaels Romance eBooks
Third in the Notorious Flynn series this book follows the story of Crispin Flynn younger brother to the Duke of Hartholm (The Other Duke-Book). I do not consider this a stand alone book and here's why. The first couple of chapters take up where Crispin is forced to marry, while in a drunken stupor and wakes up to his beautiful new bride. They have an easy if somewhat difficult conversation and head to the Dukes to try and get things resolved and not soon after decide to stay married and work things out. Now if you haven't read the first two books you might do a bit of head scratching when you start reading this.But the first two really help set up this last book in the series, which I thoroughly enjoyed. A) I like a good series and B) I like when the author really takes the time to help set up the back stories to her supporting characters. You don't learn the tragedy that befalls Crispin right off the back, it builds slowly, taking its time with one of the main focuses being on Crispins relationship to Gemma and how they learn not only to like one another but trust one another as well.
My only criticism is when from the moment you find out about his troubled past to the moment everything is resolved it felt like it was rushed a bit. I'm not only that normally likes a lot of confrontation in her books but I felt like there could have been a bit more.
As I said I like Crispin, he was complex, had angst, desired his wife and didn't treat her like rubbish (well maybe a few times but it wasn't constant to the point where you would get annoyed) and had a strong desire to right his wrongs even if he had no idea how to do it.
Gemma was a great heroine!! She's a a young widow that although she has had hardships from her husband and father she doesn't take it out on Crispin in fact she doesn't try to rationalize that Crispin is a "man like her father" as some authors are wont to do in these types of situations. She has a modern flare about her that doesn't seem out of place in the time period and she fights for her man without being annoying.
They really were a great pair!!
Regarding the sex and love scenes, they are written with typical Ms. Michael's flair! My favorite part was when Crispin told Gemma that he welcomed sex between them and she lunged for him. No simpering female here! It made me laugh and it felt real to the moment and there characters. I really get tired sometimes of reading about how scared and afraid some women are in novels like these. This heroine takes control of her desires which is refreshing change or pace.
Read the other two books in the series and enjoy this one!!!

The Widow Wager The Notorious Flynns Book 3 edition by Jess Michaels Romance eBooks Reviews
"My name is Gemma. I'm your wife."
THE STORY Crispin Flynn's life has been out of control from a year and half. His brother inherited a dukedom and was forced to marry which Crispin feared would change his brother. At the same time, he fell in love and lost the woman he loved. Since then Crispin has been gambling and drinking his way through his life and fortune. One night he ends up his a gaming hell and as a result of his wager ends up married to Gemma, a widow of an earl. Crispin wakes up in the morning surprised to find himself married and certain that they have to find a way out of his latest mistake.
OPINION This series has gotten better with each book. I loved this book because both characters are such good people. Crispin might be tortured by his past, but he doesn't take it out on Gemma. He is a genuinely nice guy who cannot let go of the mistakes he has made. He takes on too much emotional responsibility for the happiness of others and thus has made himself miserable.
Gemma is a woman who has put up with much. She has been the pawn of her father's ambitions but has made the most she could out of her life. Her first marriage could have been happy but her failure to bear an heir turned her husband against her, yet Gemma never gave up on her happiness. I really liked Gemma's matter of fact approach to life. I also really appreciated that Gemma is the one who decides to find a way to heal Crispin even at the risk of her own happiness.
The connection between these characters was sweet and loving. There was less heat and desperate sexual attraction, but I liked that these characters had an attraction but also respect for one another. They decided to make the best of their situation and treated one another rather well.
One of my favorite parts of this series is the connection between all the characters. There is a genuine sibling relationship between the Flynns and the family feels good and settled. I like reading books about genuine, good characters who are likeable and this series is filled is those types of characters.
WORTH MENTIONING After I read this book, I was happy to find out that one of the characters that intrigued me will be the hero of one of the future books in this series. Readers who have read all the books in the series so far have been introduced to the final two couples by the end of this book.
FINAL DECISION This was the most well rounded book of the series. I liked how both characters were likable and not cruel to one another despite the circumstances of their marriage.
CONNECTED BOOKS THE WIDOW WAGER is the third book of the Notorious Flynns series. It can be read as a standalone, but I think it is better as part of the series because the characters relationships to one another matter.
STAR RATING I give THE WIDOW WAGER 4.5 stars.
NOTE I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley in order to provide an honest review of the book. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions expressed are my own.
