About this listen

Hazard: A game of Chance and Luck, made riskier when Fate is rolling the dice.

For Aristide Delacroix, the first throw summons shades from his past. A man he had met, just once, over a card-table... and the lovely girl indirectly responsible for plunging his life into catastrophe.

For Lord Nicholas Wynstanton, tired of waiting for Madeleine Delacroix to make up her mind, it slyly suggests he begin a whole new game with loaded dice; while for Madeleine, it devises a terrifying lesson in missed opportunities and the uncertainty of second chances.

And for Genevieve Westin, hoping widowhood will be happier than marriage, it brings a rude awakening - leaving a single, wild gamble as her only option.

A cardsharp turned businessman, a duke’s charming brother, a stubborn, razor-edged beauty, and a desperate widow.

Four players in a game of Hazard... all playing for very high stakes.

I looked forward to this book. Beautifully read, and a delight as Riley books always are for me, the story was as complex and intriguing as always. I slightly regret the change in tone though - but that’s just me, there was a reason I originally became a Riley follower

Book 5 - Hazard

In this, the fifth, in Stella Riley’s stunning Rockliffe series, we are treated to not one, but two compelling romances, with some plausible intrigue and plotting in the background. And, of course, the oh so gorgeous Rock plays his omniscient part - I would have been extremely disappointed had he not.

As is normal with this author, her characters are expertly developed into three dimensional, living, breathing and very believable characters. Brother and sister, Madeleine and Aristide Delacroix at last find love; Madeleine after a very rocky ride, much of which is as a result of her own insecurities.

Alex Wyndham as usual delivers a stunning performance, and as is normal with this author and narrator duo, are in perfect accord. I particularly enjoyed how Mr. Wyndham captures the cool aloofness of Aristide Delacroix - not an easy task when much of Aristide’s thoughts are conveyed through inner dialogue. After reading the e book I was struck in particular by how much an excellent narrator can highlight aspects which may go undetected in print. Aristide’s love interest, Genevieve, has been badly treated in an earlier relationship and Alex Wyndham captures her vulnerability to perfection.

Another winner for this twosome.

Another wonderful addition to Stella Riley’s Rockliffe Georgian Series

The romance between Sir Nicholas and Mme Madeleine has been bubbling under the surface for 2 previous books now and to be honest, I really didn’t like Madeleine. I agreed with her that Nicholas could have done better (I think Rock did too)!

However, Ms Riley has a veritable art in telling a story and that temper of Madeleine’s, has its uses!

You’ll be forgiven for thinking that this is the ‘A’ story, however there are 2 more stories! (Or maybe 3 more)…

There are 3 romances and 2 interlaced plot points, involving the 3 romances.

Confused? You won’t be, under Ms Riley’s guidance, enriched by Mr Wyndham‘s wonderful narration.

I Wasn’t Sure…

Another good storyline, helped by the narrator s soft tones and expressions, the series has one more book to go I cannot wait to purchase it , as I know I won’t be disappointed in it being another excellent read .

Brilliant as always
