He won a wife in a game of cards!
Dashing Major Gavin Alexander, recently elevated to sixth Earl of Seabrooke, needs a fortune—fast! His new title came with a mountain of debt, and it is only a matter of time before he's denied entrance to the clubs where he's eking out a living by gaming. When Sir Thomas Chesterton cannot pay his losses at the table and offers his sister—and her inheritance—instead, Gavin jumps at the seemingly perfect solution to his troubles and agrees to wed Miss Chesterton sight unseen.
No biddable spinster
Frederica Chesterton is appalled to learn what her brother has done without her consent. Determined to undo the bargain, she wrests a promise from Sir Thomas that if she can find proof Lord Seabrook is a rogue, he will release her from the betrothal. Without her brother's knowledge, Frederica infiltrates Lord Seabrooke's household as a servant to ferret out the man's secrets—and finds more of them than she bargained for! But even as she gathers her evidence against the handsome Earl, she finds herself perilously close to losing her heart. Will revealing her true identity lead to disaster, or to a happy ending neither she nor Lord Seabrooke ever expected?

This was my first book by Ms. Hiatt and will, most likely, be my last.The character development was mostly 2 dimensional. The dialogue was authentic and natural and lent a delightful cadence to the era. The plot was also pretty well thought out. It was a simple book and a simple read.
Yet the head-hopping was insane. There was never appt with fidelity or integrity. Paragraph POV shifts. Mid-paragraph POV shifts. And actions or thoughts attributed to the character in whose POV we're in that was inappropriate. For example, if we're in Gavin's POV, then we shouldn't be reading about his rakish smile (this was just an example). A person doesn't describe themselves I using adjectives (unless completely narcissistic).
I couldn't take it much longer and when I finally got to the end, I was glad.

Daring Deception Hiatt Regency Classics Book 4 edition by Brenda Hiatt Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I loved this book! After reading the Christmas Bride by the same author, I was hesitant to buy another of her books but I'm so glad I did. This is a romance and I loved both the H and h. Great characters, great story and it was clean. Can't recommend it enough.
Love the humor of some of the situations. Thought Freddie/Cherry was stubborn enough to get into tight corners and smart enough to get herself out.
Lively path from righteous indignation that 2 men could decide Cherry's future without consulting her to spying to prove her betrothal was a bad idea to Cherry and Gavin falling in love.
As noted by many reviewers, this is a sweet story - fine by me - and fun to read. Fredericka and Gavin are the H/h being betrothed and not having met. A bit "odd" a plot about spying and "Freddie/Cherry" saving the day a few times, but easy and mildly enjoyable read.
Freddie’s brother betrothed her to Lord Seabrook in payment for his gambling debt. Freddie’s goes undercover as a nanny to try to find information to discredit him as her brother will break the betrothal then. But will she find love instead? A very good regency romance.
Daring Deception (Hiatt Regency Classics, #4) - PG13
Violence no, but assault threatened
Language fewer than 10
Sex descriptive kissing, roaming hands
The last eight percent is an excerpt from the next Hiatt Regency Classic. This writer is new to me and reminds me of an author, Carla Kelly, that I read before. Everything in the story was going along nicely when I was broadsided by a little paragraph of "spice" and then the story proceeded. It was very odd. The story is clever and the heroine is smart as a whip.
It's okay, but I didn't especially like any of the characters. Thomas and Frederica are siblings who will inherit a lot of money in the future--Thomas 5 years from now, Frederica when she marries. Both have little money until they inherit. Thomas loses a lot of money to Gavin, a new earl who needs a lot of money. Thomas suggests Gavin marry Frederica so her inheritance can pay off his gambling debt. Win-win-who cares whether Frederica wins or loses?
Most of what happens isn't plausible. To try to find a reason not to marry Gavin, Frederica applies at his home to be an assistant housekeeper wearing a wig, fake freckles, and spectacles. She works there a couple of weeks, and no one notices a thing. And Gavin doesn't hesitate when she asks if she can bring her pet mice and peacock into his home. Pet mice and a peacock?
Gavin suddenly has all the money he needs for his household--somehow Thomas has given him 12,000 pounds in advance of the marriage. Were all of Gavin's purchases on credit? If not, how did Thomas get his hands on the money before the marriage?
Besides Gavin's initial willingness (even eagerness) to marry Frederica for her money without her being consulted, he keeps his mistress and kisses the new nanny in spite of being betrothed.
To me, the best moment in the whole book was the moment when he learns Cherry and Frederica are the same person. I didn't see that coming.
For those who care, this should be in the "sweet and clean" category.
