Saving Stakes
Jay Masters came to Masters High to find his place on the family spread. Instead, he gambles himself into a mess he can't see his way out of. Rusty Eubanks knows how to help Jay, but doing so means swallowing his pride and quite possibly pushing the man he loves into the arms of the man he couldn't have. Cole Duvall is ready to ride to Jay's rescue, but when the stakes change, he finds himself heart-deep in trouble. Can Jay and Rusty find their way together and save Cole from a game of desire that threatens to keep them apart?

Overall I liked this book about three cowboys who were all in love with each other but hadn't managed to figure it out until one needed help and the dire situation pulled them all together.
The threat to Jay starts on the very first page and doesn't really let up until well into the book. It kept me glued to the pages. Both Rusty and Cole have their own issues, but the three together are difficult to beat - once they realize they belong together.
Because I was captivated like that, the suspension of disbelief (and I needed quite a bit) was easier to maintain. I thought the villains were a little overdone, more like in a "traditional" western (in line with the whole story revolving around a high-stake poker game). The "family curse" that held Cole back stretched my belief and his need to submit at the very end - well, I had trouble with that only because it was so sudden and the two others took such immediate advantage of it. On the whole though I did like this book and would recommend it to people who don't mind a bit of lacking realism - as long as the underlying story grabs their attention.

a little bit on the boring side and not really well written.

Good story, but it moved a little slow. I liked the three mc's.
