MY OPINION

A cute short story filled with smut romance and themed around casinos.

I enjoy this kind of quick story because it’s sweet, insta-passion, well narrated and has some punch at the end. The couple is a card dealer and a professional poker player in roles that I hadn’t expected. They become besotted and start a passionate fling right away, though it grows into an obsessive romance with an alpha-male who is possessive of his gorgeous, smart woman. The scenes are nice as they banter, share dinner and roll in bed in between romantic declarations.

I found it quite entertaining as other characters add some funny macho teasing, the casino atmosphere and the poker tournament make for an engaging scenario, and the ending includes a pinch of danger and the tender fruit of their love. Will there be more stories set in Vegas after this one and the one that precedes it? I say yes to more couples :-D

As a professional poker player, Lia Carrington is used to taking risks...except when it comes to men. 

From the moment Becket Parker spotted the gorgeous gambler at his table, he knew she was meant to be his. 

Now he's just got to convince her that he's a bet worth taking.

ENJOY AN EXCERPT

“This belongs to you, Miss Carrington.”

“Lia,” I corrected automatically, before I realized who was trying to get my attention. Turning around, I found Becket standing in front of me, his long fingers holding out the one-hundred-dollar chip I’d given him.

“Lia,” he echoed. “You like the shortened version better than Cornelia?”

“Yeah, but should I be worried about how you know my name? And how you’ll make a living if you give back all of your tips?”

The grin he flashed me sent shivers down my spine. “Your name is attached to your player’s card profile, which I swiped at my table for you.”

“Ah, that makes sense.” I pointed at the chip in his hand. “And this?”

“The only way you’re going to be able to talk me out of giving this back to you is if you let me take you out for some ridiculously expensive drinks.”

“Hmm.” I tapped my finger against my chin while I pretended to consider his offer. “That waitress never did come back with my second drink, and I am thirsty.”

“I’m going to take that as a yes.” He tucked my arm into the crook of his and started to lead me to the entrance of the hotel.

“I’m pretty sure they serve ridiculously expensive drinks in all of the bars and restaurants here at the Lennox.”

He pulled me a little bit closer, almost as though he thought I was going to try to get away from him. “That’s a bet I wouldn’t take since you’d be right.”

“Then where are you taking me?”

“I’d prefer to have you all to myself, without any audience, so I was thinking of someplace where my co-workers aren’t the ones serving us. Does that work for you?”

Oh, yes. His take-charge attitude more than worked for me.
