Reading order of the Casino Players Saga:
Book One All In Book Two Double or Nothing Book Three Ante Up
This first in the Casino Players Saga Book One got me interested enough when I read some of the story on the introduction to the story. The story is about Darla Simone and her brother Pax Lamar. These brother and sister are from Central Texas. Darla runs her own company and she is called by her brother to ask for a loan but she ends up going to Las Vegas, where he is at and finds out that he owes more money than he asked her for and he is trying to skip out on the owner of the Casino Anton du Bruyn. Anton and Pax were originally friends because Pax helped him out of a situation with his ex wife and so we have Darla in Las Vega thinking she would be able to bail her brother out with a certain amount of money and finds out that she is attracted to the Casino owner and her to her. But as we know lies can cause betrayal and lots and lots of drama. I do want to find out what happens between all involved so I am going to get the book with the complete series. This was a good book not great but it was worth the read.
This seems like it would be an entertaining story.
The stage is set nicely enough, with just enough mystery and unanswered questions to make me curious about what would happen next, but is it worth it to spend so much on a serial, when all the short pages of each could have been combined into one book and sold that way?
