Tiffany Rhodes's horse farm was in trouble long before she met Zane Sheridan, a breeder with a shady reputation. Yet she couldn't help but feel relieved when Zane offered to buy her out. Though Tiffany didn't trust him, she was drawn to him like a magnet. What did this mysterious man want from her...and why was he using a gambit with her heart?

With dozens of bestsellers to her name, Lisa Jackson is a master of taking readers to the edge of sanity—and back—in novels that buzz with dangerous secrets and deadly passions. She continues to be fascinated by the minds and motives of both her killers and their pursuers—the personal, the professional, and the downright twisted. As she builds the puzzle of relationships, actions, clues, lies, and personal histories that haunt her protagonists, she must also confront the fear and terror faced by her victims and the harsh and enduring truth that, in the real world, terror and madness touch far too many lives and families.

2 stars is what I give Gypsy Wind. I had to trudge through it. Devil's Gambit I didn't even attempt to read. I'll stick with LJ's later books :)

[Andrew Carter · Rating 3 out of 5]

A reprint of stories written by Jackson in the 90's. OK but simplistic with very little suspense. An easy read.

[Christine · Rating 3 out of 5]

The first story Gypsy Wind I liked the best of the two stories. The back and forth between Becca and Brig was great and their chemistry was hot. The second story Devil's Gambit was okay. Tiffany and Zane didn't do anything for me. Their story was just not that interesting. I was hoping for more sparks but they never came.

Two stories in this book, both about women in the horse breeding/racing industry. The stories are pretty much interchangeable.

hard to finish.

[Jennifer · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not bad for a cheesy romance novel. Too bad the 2 stories in the book were so much alike.

[Artha · Rating 4 out of 5]
