Product Description

High Stakes Romance . . .

Michael was sick and tired of playing the hatchet man. This cloak and dagger assignment at the Glass Slipper would be the last time he'd go undercover for his father's corporation. Someone was stealing from the Las Vegas casino, and his research told him to begin by investigating Shawn MacInnes, the fiery redhead who turned cards in the casino. At first glance, she seemed like an untouched innocent. But Michael knew that nothing was a sure bet in a city of wild cards.

For Shawn, dealing blackjack in a Vegas casino was like returning to the scene of the crime. Compulsive gambling had killed her father. But for now, the Glass Slipper Casino offered her a good living and a chance to break free from the past.

But when her shift was over, Shawn wanted nothing to do with the high-stakes world of gambling. Dealing cards was a job --- not a forum to fraternize with fellow employees like Michael DeNiro. With topaz eyes and lean good looks, Michael was one of those men who oozed sex appeal and charm. Shawn steered clear of his type, just as she avoided the Nevada desert sun. Both were scorchers.

Great love story, even if it was a bit predictable! 10 Jan 2012
By J. Clark - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed this book. Yes, it was somewhat predictable, but the author writes with emotion and the characters are very likable.

The story is about Michael, who works for his dad (a casino owner) and is tasked with finding out who is stealing from their newest casino in Nevada. Once there and undercover, it doesn't take him long to start falling in love with Shawn, even if she was on the short list of suspects for a hot minute. Shawn's uncle is the pit boss of the casino and is also a suspect. Shawn has been betrayed before by the most important man in her life, years earlier, when her father committed suicide. When Michael's cover is blown, can Shawn find it within herself to forgive him?

It sounds like a thriller/mystery but trust me, this one is 100% love story. And a very sweet one, at that.

This book kept me interested. 17 Jan 2012

Not one of my favorite books..but kept me interested. I did like the characters and thought they brought them together well. The hottest love scene was about 87% into the book..close to the end..but the words "life force" sort of lost me and actually made be laugh...I don' think it was meant to have that affect. Overall a decent read though.

Fluffy and Cute But... 10 Jan 2012
By bibliophile2011 - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Betting in Love was very fluffy and cute but the writing kind of left something to be desired. Michael is a trouble-shooter. He goes to companies and businesses that his father owns and fixes issues whether it is stealing or HR related. Tired of living the life as his dad's "henchmen" he decides that this is his last job before striking it out on his own. His next assignment takes him to Las Vegas, where money is disappearing. Shawn, the niece of a suspected pit boss, finds herself pursued by Michael. At first Michael gets to know Shawn to get close to her uncle but finds himself falling for Shawn... now he has to find the thief and find a way to keep the girl.

This story was just okay for me. The idea for the book was good but lacking in execution for me. Here is why: I liked Michael and Shawn enough but I kind of felt that there could have been more depth to the rest of the story. The supporting characters were a tad superficial- and really did not add much development to the story- they were there but meh- kind of meaningless and not memorable. The story never really went into any detail about catching the thief/thieves either which was kind of like a big plot hole for me. Here Michael and Shawn were trying to figure out their relationship and then oh!...yeah by the way there is a reason for Michael being in Vegas so I better write something about it. Then all of a sudden "mystery" solved. I really felt that nothing would have detracted from the story if the author added more to the excitement of finding the crook and used the backdrop of the casino more.

Overall the story was cute but the plot and the romance was just okay. Not a memorable read and not sure if this is her usual style ( I never read her work before). Next time I see this author I will wait to read the reviews first before downloading another book by her.
