Risky Games

by Olga Bicos

HOW MUCH WOULD A WOMAN RISK TO BE IRRESISTIBLE TO MEN?
Beautiful, brilliant McCall Sayer has unlocked the secret of sexual attraction. To the right buyer, the formula is worth billions. But is it worth dying for? Suddenly, McCall is caught in a dangerous game, only one step ahead of a determined killer.

WAS IT WORTH HER HEART?
With her reputation in ruins and her life threatened, McCall reinvents herself as an ace blackjack player. New Orleans casino manager Jake Donovan is instantly, irresistibly attracted to the stunning redhead. But the twice-burned Jake has always been able to walk away from any woman. Not this time.

OR WOULD IT COST HER HER LIFE?
McCall needs him, and - heaven help him - Jake needs her. Soon Jake and McCall find themselves in a place where passion, guilt and revenge collide - and where love can be as fleeting as a woman's beauty...Or as perfect.

My Review

McCall Elizabeth Sayer is a lethal combination of smarts and beauty. Gambling apparently has side benefits, like Jake Donovan! Love the chemistry between these two characters!

McCall Sayer is caught counting cards at the River Palace boat casino. Turns out, she’s a degrees scientist, but why is she gambling?

[Dawn ♥ romance · Rating 3 out of 5]

I continued to read this book even though hidden agendas unfold too slow, characters too insecure, and plot overshadows romance. Halfway in I started skimming all but dialog and it did have an exciting ending. Casino manager Jake notices ace card player McCall.

Bof bof bof... First book by this author, not compelled to read others. The book felt horrifically dated to me, the main character didn't really win me over.
