Dawn Sassacus wants to help her family even if it means looking for trouble at the casino as a dealer on the floor. No one steals from her people and gets away with it. No one. Especially not a smoldering hazel eyed con-man who counts cards. Even if he makes her body burn.
Jackson Black is a working man. Using several aliases, he conducts his business across the country undetected until one young, bookish black jack dealer threatens his game. And he knows he's the best game in town. But looking at her, he knows she is a game he would like to play. With his cover in jeopardy, he needs to do something drastic. With single minded focus, Jackson sets his sights on pleasantly distracting the woman with the cherry lips, and sexy smile.
Dawn knows she’s in deep. Deep trouble and love. Her gut tells her to trust Jack even though she still can't figure him out. He's hiding something from her. She knows it. Should she risk her heart? Can she play his game, or will she find out that Jack’s heart is as black as his name?
Dawn was feeling a little left out - she's the baby of the family & has been watching her siblings find their HEA's one after the other. She's reading to find her own forever love. Enter Jack Black, who she meets at the Black Jack table. Appropriate. ; )
They have an instant connection, but Jack has some things going on that he can't quite open up to Dawn about right away. But he knows she's it for him & that he'll have to tell her soon. When she finds out what's going on, she ends up in the middle of his situation, and they have to work together - with her whole family & some others - to make things right.
This story is full of fun banter, steamy connections, and action. I really enjoyed Dawn & Jack & revisiting w/ her family as well!! : )
Dawn is a woman who works at her family’s casino, and she meets up with an FBI agent. Jackson accidentally involves Dawn in one of his operations while he is undercover. the sparks fly with this one.
Love this family and their love stories! Dawn and Jack’s story was hot, sweet and suspenseful! I couldn’t put it down once I started. Can’t wait for Tawny’s story!!!
I loved reading this book. Both strong individuals who know what they want. A must read. Can't wait for the next instalment of Mystic Nights and Tawny's love story.
This is going to sound horrible, but I couldn’t finish this book fast enough. It gently eases into the drama of the plot, but once the tension and action got cranked up, I just needed to know how it was going to end. And I needed to know it NOW. But no! The story cleverly teased me along. Doling out careful tidbits about what Jack and Dawn were facing, what might yet come to be. Hinting at the stories that have already been told as well as the ones the author has yet to bring us. I loved watching Jack and Dawn together. She may be young in years but she has an extremely mature understanding of the world. Even though Jack’s careers have taken him to some very dark places, he manages to convey a lightness of spirit that’s refreshing in a former-military character. This is another book I’ve picked up in the middle of the series and I’ll need to read outward to both ends. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book.
