After his father leaves him an unexpected inheritance, Trey has one to see and seduce his way through all fifty states. Who says hook up culture is dead?
...He never counted on breaking down before he even reached his first destination.
Willow’s End, Missouri has precisely one good thing going for Charlie Baxter. With his strong arms and delicious, full lips, Trey’s starting to think that maybe taking an unexpected pit stop won’t be so bad.
If Charlie would stop playing hard to get, that is.
Gamble is the fourth book in the completed Virtue & Vice series, but it can also be read as a standalone novel! It was previously titled Trust. If you’ve got a thing for second chances, messy (but sexy!) food fights, and supportive grannies who stuff their drawers full of lottery tickets, Gamble is the book for you!
Life is a mysterious concocktion formed from rumor, happenstance, friends, family, weather, accidents, incidents, work, education, gifts, grants, glories, love, caring, and sharing. The chaos keeps it interesting, with family wanting different things from what friends want, but the love bug infects the hearts of all differently to produce just the perfect partnership for some who have struggled with life while others just wander lost in their own screwed up world blaming everyone else for their failures that they did not deserve.
Yet it is possible to pick out a couple of very unlikely lovers who separate after a very brief time, then years later meet under very unusual circumstances that brings them into a loving relationship in spite of all their efforts to stay apart.
The smells of a bakery can invade the nose and mind to make more than the yeast rise as fresh dreams wash away the negatives of the past and cushion the bumps with soft rolls or crunchy bagels surrounded by cookies and scones. Who can resist helping themselves to fresh while enjoying the moment shared while learning the good fortune of lottery dough and love of life.
Really enjoyed this book. Great addition to the series. I enjoy books where one of the guys realizes he's over random hookups and wants something more. I loved the way the book ended. The epilogue was so sweet.
It didn't keep my interest as much as the others. I felt like it was a totally random story. When I read series I feel there should be some tie in but this one had nothing. These two were cute but the second chance didn't ring true for me. It was just a hookup and a chance meeting when his car broke down.
