This should been half as long
The first half the book was well thought out, with plausible explanations and reasonable character development. But the author lost their way and ended up undoing the groundwork laid in the first half of book by creating what felt like just another trite romance. That left me sad, because it had started so well.

enjoyable and entertaining
It was an entertaining book but Emma became almost annoying in her refusal to talk to Colin about her problem and Lady Mary needed to be smacked. It was fun to listen to once but not a repeat.

Main characters won’t talk to each other
The beginning was promising and I enjoyed it. As it got farther and farther in with the villain even though the hero is like “what’s wrong?” the heroine won’t tell him. Then they both decide not to tell the other that they’re trying to solve it in their own.
Even though it lead to some funny moments at the end with too many people trying to do the villain in, this is my biggest book pet peeve, so it grated.

I could not stop listening!
This book went beyond my expectations! I would read this book again and again. The characters are so stubborn and cause many complications for themselves, especially the main character. The characters definitely proved that love conquers all. This is the first Jane Ashford book I have read, and I can't wait to read more of her books.

Sweet story -long plot
I enjoyed the story although the narration took me a while to get into. If you like historical romances this was fine. If you are looking for a steamy romance novel… This is probably not your best choice.

Way too repetitive...
What disappointed you about The Marriage Wager?
I hadn't even gotten to the fateful game, but it was repetitive. The heroine could have made at least 5 better choices before she even got there.
What do you think your next listen will be?
One of the author's favorite writers -- Georgette Heyer. She was the woman who kicked off Jane Austen's legacy in the 20th Century, and is a master at the whole Regency (and Georgian) genre(s).
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
She has a pleasant voice, but should differentiate the sexes a little more clearly. Repartee doesn't work when it's the same intonation.

Boring, too long, too predictable.
If you have ever listened to an older romance novel this is surely a repeat for you. Very predictable
