I bout this for 75c because I thought the cover and title were cute and I figured I was not out a lot of money if I ended up not liking it. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It was fast paced and very cute. The only thing I didn't like was that we never really learned anything about Frank. Mysterious and sexy will only take you so far before I get irritated and stop being drawn to a character. I am intrigued enough by this book to read the next one, but if I don't get some answers about Frank, I will probably not continue with the series. Book 2, you have been warned!

Belinda Cooley is in Vegas with her twin brother. Her brother is going to play in a poker tournament, but before it begins, he vanishes. Belinda must take his place to find him. Fun characters but it stretched credibility too much for me to give it a higher rating.

Read my full review at Carstairs Considers.

Enjoyed this one quite a bit. You knew who most of the bad guys were during the story but it was a fast and funny read.
