review 1: Charlotte who goes by the alias, Lottie Mace, must come up with the $15,000 demanded by a blackmailer in order to save her ailing father's life. Dyer drowns his pain in gambling and drinking on gambling boats while he searches for his family's killer on stops. When a certain Lottie Mace comes to him for gambling lessons so she can win the $25,000 prize at a big tournament, he is intrigued enough to help. His protective instinct soon kicks in and he can't help but be as invested in Lottie winning as she is herself.Though this cute read isn't perfect, the banter and romance between Dyer and "Lottie" makes it worth the read. I kept thinking the plot would be predictable and would go a certain way but I was pleasantly surprised each time. The flirting and banter might hav... moree gone on too long as it seemed the ending was a bit rushed. The actual tournament wrapped up so quickly that if I had blinked I would have missed it. Also, the ending concerning the blackmailer and the murderer was wrapped up pretty quickly as well and we went right back to the romance. It was fine with me but it felt like a tease. I thought the plot was unique and it kept me interested and "Lottie" and her adventures ended up growing on me.Read this if you are looking for a cute romance. If you intrigued about the gambling or action part of the plot, just know that it is a tad underdeveloped.
review 2: ★★★★✩ Finally finished reading this book. Between the delay of starting it (it was BOM for one of my groups), the lure of other books calling my name, and then a lingering cold, that in itself is amazing, LOL! I liked this story. I used to only want to read about innocent young ladies and Lottie was fun to read about. The poker info was presented in such a way as to hold my interest, but not too overpowering for someone who doesn't care that much about cards. I enjoyed the scenes between Dyer and Lottie - the chemistry sizzled - a fun read and worth my time.I'll seek out this author again. less
