Book three in the 'Gentlemen Always Play Fair' Box Set Compilation.
Peppered with errors, showing fairly low production values.
Quite frankly boring, and at points in danger of getting 'DNF'. Rather than better the books in the set seem to be getting worse. So far I can find no merit, and I really wish I could. Still, literature is subjective and it is impossible to please everybody, sometimes that undefinable spark is missing.
Rating for this book 2 stars, and as mentioned in previous posts, I will given an overall rating for the whole box set.
Third book in the 'Gentleman Always Play Fair Box Set (from location 10575 to 16316)
Location 10835: '... his waistband at it his back...'
Location 11171: '...she could taste the saddle soap he had washed with that morning'. Saddle soap is something for cleaning tack, not for a Gentleman to wash with.
Location 11306: '... this was just the sort of information she was obliged to investigation.'
Location 15023: 'She jammed her forced between her breasts pressed and his chest.' ?
Location 15467: 'Her dear husband was holded up in a brothel.' - huh?
Location 15570: 'A soft moan emanate from her throat.' - emanated.
Location 16043: '... maximum amount damage.' - amount of.
Location 16083: '...where she and Kiernan were staying were staying she'd ...'
As mentioned before, for this box set I will rate each book and then give an overall rating for the whole set.
Happy reading.

The second book in the Kindle Unlimited Box Set 'Gentleman Always Play Fair' (locations in the box set are 4414 to 10567).
The story started quite well with an attempt at humour, but failed to add up to anything substantial. It simply did not gel I am afraid, in fact I would go so far as to say that the pace of the plot was on the slow side.
Unfortunately gaining no more stars that its already reviewed counterpart (for the same reasons) and also a few errors. I looked hard, but could not come up with any highlights.
Errors/Bug Bears and no highlights:
Location 4759: 'dash the flew blocks.' ARGGGH blocks, we do not have 'blocks' and it is most definitely not correct in novel about England - lack of bloody research. This is one step down from 'gotten'.
Location 9649: 'done by a highly talent artist.' - talented.
As mentioned in my previous post, I will rate each book and then give an overall rating at the end.
Happy reading.

Purchased as Kindle Unlimited as a Box Set Compilation: 'Gentlemen Always Play Fair'. In the box set it is location to 4404.
This is the first in that set, and I am hoping that the remainder of them will be more interesting and less predictable and Americanised attempt an an historical romantic novel - granted, it's not the worst one I've read, but it was far from the best either.
There were several errors, and the usual lack of conjunctions, I knocked off a star from its ultimate rating beause of this.
As usual, the errors/bug bears, and in this case no highlights are:-
Location 1428: 'I have come to gt your permission have Bay Lady saddled'
Location 2212: 'She slid her feet to the steps and count.'
Location 2954: ' ... to lep from he sofa and trot over to the window, where he leaped upon it sill.'
Location 2998: '... Morton while his brother played at host.'
Location 3102: '... him being the head of the family and all.' [insert snot of derision here!]
Location 3571: '... he wrote him.' [insert further snort]
Location 3733: '... and gladly took the drank he offered.'
Location 4034: 'Never had he sullied the memory of the lovely blond with the dancing the blue eyes.'
I will do a separate review for the other books in the box set. Each will get a star rating, and then at the end I will also rate the entire box set.
Happy reading.
