I absolutely LOVED this book.Another historical winner from Lauren Linwood, this time we are taken back to the Old West. This time, the story is set in San Francisco, as Lily Frontiere returns home from a trip abroad to find her mother--and owner of Lucky Lil's whorehouse--awash in huge gambling debts and failing health. Lily assumes her mother's identity and takes over for her. This is where Jed Stone arrives with the deed to Lucky Lil's, won by gambling, Jed has his own problems--he's just avoided hanging for a crime he didn't commit. A crime committed by a man who looks exactly like him....With twists, turns, mistaken identities and and engaging characters, A Game of Chance is book I couldn't put down. I love the setting, I loved Jed & Lily, and the story kept me reading later than I should have. Another fantastic read from Ms. Linwood.
