What happens when you're discovered cheating at cards? You become the club owner's toy for a night.
 
The Royal Players Club, a mecca of sin for the most affluent people in the world The destination was my playground, but when my bad behavior was discovered, I had no idea what I'd done. Braxton Royal was a powerful, handsome man with mesmerizing eyes the color of the Aegean Sea. He was also part owner of a billion-dollar corporation, including the sinful resort.
 
Caught red handed, he offered me an option instead of arrest. One night with him, my full surrender required. With no other choice, I accepted the filthy deal. The night and our explosive passion were incredible, his punishment harsh. I sensed we both wanted more.
 
But our worlds collided, secrets too dangerous to allow my guard to fall. So I ran. Yet with all ruthless men, I should have known better.
 
I soon became his. Not just for a night but forever.
 
Publisher's Royal Flush is the second in the Royal Players Club Series but can be read as a standalone. It includes spankings and rough, intense sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

Royal Flush is the sequel to Royal Mistake and it features Braxton Royal and Jasmine Sinclair. Piper Stone returns to the Royal Players Club series with the second Royal brother to fall in love and while I was initially excited for his story, it fell flat for me because of the overdramatic kidnappings, mafia murder side plot, and lack of communication between Braxton and Jasmine. I wanted the author to focus more of the romance between these two because they had such strong personalities and both were a force to be reckoned with. The banter and chemistry between these two had so much potential but I quickly got frustrated by their arguments and lack of trust. Neither of them wanted to compromise until it was too late. It made matters worse when Jasmine's life was in danger but she kept running away from the one person who could save her.

“He was my savior. My protector. My lover. And my everything.”


In the end, I enjoyed Braxton and Jasmine's story but it wasn't my favorite. It took me some time to read their book because I was so annoyed by the miscommunication, lack of trust, and arguments between the two. However, there is no denying that Piper Stone excels at writing the steamy scenes. The prologue was able to capture my attention and I wanted to know what happened and how Braxton and Jasmine reached that stage in their relationship. The ending did satisfy my curiosity and I was pleased to see that our main couple was able to solve their issues and be together in the end. Braxton's little nickname for Jasmine was adorable—she was his "little koala." While this book didn't work for me, it might work for other readers who love a sassy heroine who follows her own path and a dominant hero who can't help but want to keep her as his own forever.

This is the second book in the Royal Players Club, but it can be read as a standalone. Jasmine gets caught cheating at cards in Braxton’s casino, and he enjoys punishing her and now he has no plans of letting her go. Fast-paced read with great characters, intense chemistry and a great story. I was hooked from beginning to end. I loved it.

I liked how this story by Ms. Stone jumped right into action. Even though the Mafia was mentioned, the main focus of the book was the searing, intense connection between Braxton and Jasmine. The story has danger, deception, intrigue, and plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. There were secrets revealed and bloodshed.

I found myself wrapped up in Braxton and Jasmine. Still, it was somewhat unbelievable how quickly they developed feelings for one another, especially when they had sworn off long-term relationships. I did enjoy the push-and-pull and the sassy dialogue. The pitfalls, peaks, and struggles they faced throughout the story were painful to read.

Bracton’s loyalty was tested as Jasmine pushed his boundaries. He broke his rules, getting involved with a guest, especially one so beautiful who was caught cheating at cards in his casino. A playboy at heart, he met his match with Jasmine, and I admired how he kept fighting for their relationship, which he never knew he needed or wanted.

Jasmine was feisty and tough but good at hiding her true self. She loved the thrill of the chase but never thought she would be caught. She was bored with the mundane of everyday life but should have picked a safer option instead of being a card shark. Jasmine had a penchant for running away from difficult situations, leading to her life being in danger.

I wanted more from this couple's relationship but still enjoyed their story. Braxton’s emotional growth was the hero of the book for me. The story has the right amount of tension, heat, despair, and emotion for an enjoyable experience.

This is the second book in the Royal Players club, a series about brothers. It can be read as a stand alone, but there is some references to places and people previously seen in other books so you pick up more details reading them in order. This is Braxton's story. She is the daughter of a notorious Australian diplomat, used to being under public scrutiny. She took advantage of being able to be anonymous at an exclusive resort in the Caribbean catering to gambling and other things. He catches her cheating at cards in his resort and offers her an indecent proposal, he can turn her over to the authorities...putting her back in the public spotlight or he can "handle" her punishment himself. (Hint, it involves at least one spanking) The character development is good, you get a full sense of both characters, their strengths and their vulnerabilities. You also get both of their families. They have strong chemistry from the beginning, both in their anger and their spice. They have not only their romance to navigate but also a family/business/mafiaesque plotline to navigate. This one has more adventure than the last one but no less spice. Braxton is the book boyfriend you both want and fear. Jasmine is the plucky spitfire of a heroine you want to be. This is a good ride.

Royal Flush
A Dark Billionaire Romance (Royal Players Club, Book 2)

By: Piper Stone
Narrated by: Skyler Morgan

A WILD Ride and I LOVED it!

Overall: 5 of 5 stars Performance: 5 of 5 stars Story: 5 of 5 stars
Reviewed: 11-07-24

Jasmine Sinclair… self control is not her strong suit, and when it comes to getting the best of the unsuspecting … well, sometimes she just can’t help herself! Braxton Royal … suave, unpredictable and controlling. He’s NOT amused when Jasmine’s caught cheating at cards in HIS casino! When he gets his hands on the conniving minx, there’s no way he’s letting go! As the nefarious conspire, the ride gets WILD, and no one’s safe when worlds collide in “Royal Flush” - Royal Players Club, Book 2! The heat, the intrigue, the action, the EMOTION, all beautifully present, and all brilliantly brought magnificently alive EXACTLY as the author envisioned by spectacular, perfectly timed, brilliantly performed narration! I laughed out loud, I swooned, I cried and I throughly enjoyed every single thing about this one! I can’t wait for Gage’s story! Five Swooning Stars!

The book started with a bang, and I was immediately drawn in. 💥💥 The chemistry between Jasmine and Braxton is palpable, and the sex scenes are intense and well-written. Jasmine, the FMC, is a strong-willed woman, and her various talents make her an interesting character, but I found her decisions frustrating at times.

Girl, you know you're in danger and still run away? Just why? I believe there's a line between being strong-willed and being reckless, and Jasmine often crossed it. 😅

Braxton, the MMC, is supposed to be a mafia figure, but his demeanor and actions made him feel more like a wealthy hotel owner than a dangerous criminal. That said, their relationship was one of the highlights of the story for me.

As the novel progressed, I found it harder to stay engaged. While the beginning was strong, the middle and later sections didn’t hold my attention as well. The pacing slowed, and I felt the stakes weren’t as high as the opening promised.

3.5 stars ⭐️

Part of the Royal Players Club series each can be read as a standalone connecting through the club. Braxton sexy as all get out playboy usually gets who/what he wants without much effort, has no plans of settling down with just one woman lives by a set of rules which he never breaks until one young woman made him lose track of said rules and he isn’t a man you want on your radar like that complete undivided attention. Jasmine is sweet but sassy, her feistiness captured the attention of the sexy player despite being involved in something a little too much for her to handle and he is just the man to teach her a lesson. The magnetic pull between the two of them can’t be ignored and the banter between these two will have you laughing out loud their banter. Watching the two of them grow is short of entertaining but we get to see another side of the casino owner, will he keep her safe, will she allow him to protect her or will she keep running getting into trouble, and where are they headed maybe happiness?

A captivating read, great plot and characters that were engaging ang that kept me guessing
Braxton is well known as a playboy with a wealth of women to his name, he has always been able to have any woman that he wanted and he was somewhat surprised when Jasmine had caught his eye and his attention.
Jasmine is surprised when she finds herself in circumstances beyond her control and it in the Riyal establishment changes the way she is feeling and they know that their lives will never be the same again.
This story is full of surprises, there are intense situations and dangerous and unexpected turns and the chemistry that exists between them and the chemistry is smoking hot and I guarantee that you will love this book which is a great addition to the Royal Players Club.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

VERY ALLURING!!
The second book in the Royal Players club is very entertaining and steamy.
Braxton and Jasmine”s story is intense, intriguing, interesting and igniting!!
The chemistry between these characters is passionate, inviting and HOT!!
Braxton broke one of his major rules, don’t get involved with clients but when his attraction to the thieving, fiesty and tenacious Jasmine is too strong to ignore he lets his need for her override his rule.
Their sassy, flirty banter is enticing and amusing.
Getting lost in their thrilling and stunning cat and mouse game was absolutely delightful.

As for Braxton he’s a delicious treat. Dirty talking, charming and protective. This hotel casino owner knows how charm a woman…panty melting.

Someone is trying to OFF Jasmine and with a Royal on her arm she has a better chance of surviving since Braxton Royal is part of a mafia family with connections.

So enjoy getting lost in Braxton and Jasmine’s fascinating and enticing story.

This latest book in the series puts wild child Jasmine in the sights of casino owner Braxton when she flaunts her card shark ways in his casino. Jasmine's father is a Australian political hopeful who has made some deals with shady friends. Acting as Australia's Ambassador to the U.S., he tries to keep Jasmine close by and controlled, but that isn't possible. Braxton and his brothers were raised to be tough businessmen, doing what they had to do to get ahead. Braxton has no issue finding a fitting punishment for the beautiful cheater. Sparks fly and the story heats up.

This story has action, danger, mystery, intrigue, and plot twists galore. There is also family, loyalty, and love in this steamy romance, with a guaranteed HEA.

Royal Flush is the second book in the Royal Players Club series. You can't help but be captivated by Braxton Royal and Jasmine Sinclair. Their story begins when Jasmine is caught counting cards at one of the Royal's exclusive resorts. Braxton while impressed with her skills he knows he has to put an end to her cheating. When confronted he gives her a choice be turned over to the authorities or accept his form of discipline for a night. Reluctantly she chose him instead of the authorities. What neither had expected was the undeniable connection between them. Even after an unexpected night of passion she slipped away without a word. Yet their story is just beginning when their lives once again intersect so hold on for a wild, captivating, intense, emotional, dangerous and deadly ride.

Jasmine is quite the little troublemaker! She is up to all kinds of shenanigans. She is the daughter of a very prominent diplomat, does not need the money, but feels the need to count cards just because she can. She believes she is getting away with it until Braxton walks in! Braxton offers Jasmine 2 choices – jail or take whatever “punishment” he can hand out for the night. Jasmine doesn’t want to draw attention to her father, so punishment it is!

The chemistry between the two is off the charts, Braxton is not sure who he has become – he is doing things he would never have done in the past – Jasmine has casted a spell on him! When Jasmine runs off, Braxton is in a mood, until fate brings them back together. Was it all a setup, or was it really meant to be?

I absolutely loved reading this book I was hooked from the start until the very end, the story gave you everything for a Mafia family Royal Brothers and it’s Braxton's turn the characters were hot and steamy, intense romance, passion, lust, spanking, theft by counting cards, explicit sexual desires, and plenty more. Jasmine went to a function that was held at the brothers with her father, she's caught by Braxton and ends up getting punished for her crime she stayed with him until early morning then slipped out of the room and left him asleep.

What happens when you get caught at card cheating in an exclusive resort?
What happens when it's the owner who catches you? What happens when he makes you an offer - get turned over to the authorities, or, spend the night with him, submitting to his every need? That's the dilemma Jasmine Sinclair faces with Braxton Royal.

What follows is the story of how they go from enemies to lovers, overcoming obstacles in their way to reach their happy ever after. Someone is after Jasmine, determined to capture her, and Braxton is determined to save her.

Good characters and plotline made this another easy read from this author, I'm looking forward to Gage's story next!.

Loved this ultra steamy and fated romance!
As with all things, Braxton’s focus is solely on his family and their businesses. Jasmine must have a death wish to tempt fate to spite her father to cheat at cards, so when Jasmine is caught cheating at cards at Braxton’s exclusive resort, she is truly in a pickle. The plot twists when Braxton does the unexpected by offering her a one time way out, which Jasmine is up in arms about. When Braxton finds himself alone in the morning, it leaves him permanently in a bad mood, until fate brings them back together. With the threats against the Royals ever present, Braxton is determined to figure out the tie in with his run-in with Jasmine at his resort. How will it all end? You have to read to find out!

Jasmine Sinclair has led a very controlled life, never believing she fit in so doing a bit of cheating at cards and giving the winnings to charity is a small diversion that allows her to survive her structured life. Braxton Royal learns of a card shark that has been working his luxury kink resort but when he sets eyes on her, something that has been dead in his life comes to life. Many surprises, dangerous twists and turns and the possibility of an HEA kept me addicted from page one. This is the second book in the Royal Players Club series, and I can't wait for the last installment which I hope will be as good as books one and two.

Jasmine is someone who loves adventure and taking risks. She took one when she found herself on Braxton Royal's radar when she gambled at his resort and cheated. With Braxton and his family suddenly coming under scrutiny by the authorities, it turns out that Jasmine has a connection to those who seem to want to bring him and his family down. A connection that will have implications for both of them. I love this series. Hot and steamy with the addition of strong and determined characters, you will be left holding your breath as you read Braxton and Jasmine's story as they navigate their relationship in the world that they live in. I can't wait to read the next one in this series.

Royal Flush (Book 2 of Royal Players Club) by Piper Stone mafia romance novel. While I say it’s a mafia story but it is more mentioned and the main focus is the romance between the main characters. The plot is intriguing as it takes place at a casino. The characters have to deal with betrayal, deception, danger and adventure and loads of twists that keep you guessing.

Braxton and Jasmine definitely have intense chemistry in more ways then one. Of course that does not stop the banter. They both have loads of hurdles to deal with and get through before anything serious evolves.

Another great story by Piper Stone.

an easy read

Found this book ok, not one of my favourite, but that’s a personal opinion. It didn’t have enough drama and suspense for what i liked. The steamy scenes were definitely steamy and the two main characters were good. But it just plodded along. It might be cos i prefer mafia etc books that i found the law abiding bits a bit boring. The story line outside of the chemistry of the two main characters was vague, with name drops of random men, who aren’t involved in the book. It seemed all a bit confusing. The author writes amazing stories, for me this wasn’t my taste. No one to find a different style one in her collection.

Playboy Braxton gets stopped in his tracks when he lays eyes on Jasmine. Getting herself caught doing something she shouldn't be doing in one the Royal establishments changes the course of her life. It changes both of their lives in a big way. Their story is quite the journey. It's intense and is full of surprises, twists, turns and danger. The chemistry between these characters is flaming HOT and there's no mistaking where they'll end up if they ever get their heads on straight. Another great addition to the Royal Players Club.

I loved everything about this storyline from page one until the end.

An exciting action packed read full of intense emotions with lots of twists and turns along the way.

The sizzling chemistry between them can be felt the first moment their eyes meet.

No-one could manage Braxton and his desires but then no-one could manage Jasmine.

A perfectly matched pair with a super hot steam level!.

What a wonderful story this is, We follow Braxton and Jasmine. They meet when she is in his casino and gets caught counting cards. Braxton can't let that go and gives her a choice and she chooses the lesser of the two, and without her her father getting into even more trouble because of her. A wonderful story with drama, danger, action, steamy moments and many twists and turns that you didn't always see coming.

Jasmine shows up at the Royal brothers' exclusive island club and is found counting cards at the casino. Braxton gives Jasmine two choices of punishment not knowing her background. She takes the lesser of the two not wanting to cause her father more problems. Did Braxton take on more than he can handle? Love the danger, steam and intrigue at every turn!
