Ante Up

High Stakes, Book 1

De: Christina C. Jones

Narrado por: Jakobi Diem, Wesleigh Siobhan

I know exactly why it turns you on...because you're messed up too.

Asha's life is no fairytale, by any stretch of the imagination. There was no kind, generous father to care for and protect her from the Vegas that exists beyond the glitz and glamour of The Strip. No wise, doting mother to look over and guide her, passing down essential lessons and leading her to the right path. And certainly, no Prince Charming just around the corner, ready to rescue her from working late nights to cover steadily mounting bills.

You're not born to sharks without becoming one yourself.

In Vegas, King is exactly what his name implies. Born into money and influence, but respected - and feared - in his own right. The privileges of wealth have afforded him many things, freedom, power, massive eligibility - while simultaneously leaving him exposed to others: betrayal, exploitation, and manipulation.

Like attracts like...

Her poker face has kept her alive all this time, and he keeps his cards close to his chest. Neither is interested in gambling their hearts, but when they can't stay away from each other, there's only one choice...ante up.

Contains mature themes.

Where is book 2?!!

What a great listen! Jakobi Diem is fast becoming one of my favorite narrator's. I really wish the entire series was on Audible. I have a long commute to and from work and my Audiobooks books always get me through. I loved Asha and King's story. I like the fact that Asha was vulnerable with King even though she was previously hurt. I really wanted a little bit more at the end. I wanted to find out if Asha's brother ever got back on his feet and if anything developed with Ace and the cop. This book was well worth the credit.

Surprisingly good

This was my first encounter with this author. Overall I have to say this was a good listen. It wasn't hard to become invested in the characters because the narrations were done really well. The plot was decent but there were some holes that left me wanting a little more detail and backstory. I'll most likely listen to the next book(s) in the series. Not a bad choice.

Finished in 1 day!

Finished in 1 day because I couldn't put it down. Great story. Love Jakobi! His voice is captivating.
