Dalton is thrown back into the life that she tried to escape. One mistake by
her younger sister, Josie, and Bree finds herself gambling with a group of men
to get her sister’s $100,000 back (a $100k that the sisters don’t have to begin
with!). What the men gambling don’t know is that Bree’s father was a con man of
the highest caliber and he taught his eldest daughter everything he knew about
pulling a con, playing cards and calling bluffs. The problem? One of the men at
the table knows Bree from way, way back. Prince Vladimir Xendzov was Bree’s first
love and first lover. When she loses to him in a final winner takes everything
game, she wonders what is going to happen to her now that Vladimir all but
owned her. And what will happen to her heart now that she is his again?
Review: This
was the first time I've read anything by Jennie Lucas and I think (no I know)
that I wouldn't hesitate to grab another book by her. She’s a fantastic author
who weaved great detail into this novel. I could really feel the depth of Bree’s
love for Vladimir and her devotion to her sister (and even to the memory of her
father). The ending was perfectly paced and well written. Lucas does an
excellent job of setting the stage for Josie’s book (which I can’t wait to
read!).
In my
opinion, this book gets:
4 out of
5 stars (nearly perfect)
