Resumen del Editor

Rule number one: Keep your head down and your eyes up. It makes you invisible. But not stupid.

Ace, a young card shark, has worked her entire life to achieve one goal. Bring Burlone Allegretti to his knees. As the head of a mafia family who dabbles in human trafficking, he’s far from innocent and Ace can't wait to exact her revenge.

As her plan is set in motion, the alluring head of a rival family, Kingston Romano, approaches her with a proposition. One that she’s desperate enough to accept.

Soon, she finds herself in the crosshairs of a war she isn’t prepared to fight. With a target on her back, and intimate feelings she refuses to acknowledge, she'll have to decide if she's all in, or if she'll be taken for all she's worth.

This story is intended for audiences 18 and older.

Wild Card

What can be better than a mafia king? A sassy card counter that knows a thing or two about how to handle herself! I loved this book and every about it. The way each character was introduced was just perfect and the flow was amazing. With the way this book ended I will definitely be diving into the next soon.

WILDCARD

I first read this story in kindle book form. I listened to it a second time I audio form and still love it just as much. This is a darker mafia story. The narrators were good. I liked the males deep voice for Kingston’s. It’s a good listen!

Terrific Story & Narration🎧 Captivating & Intense!

I loved everything about this book, from Kelsie Rae’s wonderful writing style to the story and characters she created to the perfectly casted narrators who did an awesome job bringing her story to life. There is great world building and character development too. Acely “Ace” Mezzarich has not had the easiest of lives, but she always focuses on accomplishing one goal in life to ruin the man who ruined her life. The only problem is that man, Burlone Allegretti, is a powerful mob boss, one involved in dirty business including human trafficking. But she has a plan and if she sticks to her rules she should be ok. But not everything goes to plan especially when she catches the attention of another mob boss, Kingston Romano. Kingston just took over the reins of his family’s empire after the recent passing of his father. He is up against some dirty dealings, Burlone for one and a mole some where in his organization. When Ace is removed from one of the card tables at his casino she is taken to him for questioning. He is a good reader of people and sees she is telling the truth, he also finds himself drawn to her. He comes up with a way for her to make things right. It does not take long to find out they are both on the same page when it comes to Burlone. Kingston met his match in Ace, these two were great together and for each other. There is never a dull moment in this book, it is brilliantly plotted with plenty of drama, angst, action, thrilling and suspenseful moments, heartfelt moments and the start of a terrific romance. Kelsie Rae, thank you for another fantastic story, it is great to see another side of your creative mind, I am looking forward to what comes next for Kingston and his Wild Card, with family first will he play his Ace?

Kelsey Navarro and Aaron Shedlock are talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They do an amazing job portraying the characters, humanizing them, giving each their own voice and personality, as well as heart and attitude. Aaron truly captured Kingston’s bad ass persona, his bossy alpha-tude, Kelsey’s Ace was perfection too, she sounded as I pictured her to be, bad ass and fearless. Both were awesome performing the voices of the secondary characters too. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another awesome listen🎧

Exciting from start to finish! Romantic suspense at its finest!!

I read this book before I listened to it. I love the book but I really loved the audiobook. The narrators did a great job and pulled me into the story right from the start. I love the characters, Ace and Kingston. Ace is a tough girl that’s had to fend for herself from a young age. She gets involved with Kingston who is a bossy demanding mafia king. They team up with the same goal in mind, to make a rival mafia boss pay for being a scumbag. This is a great book. I can’t wait to find out what will happen next.

What a start!

Kelsie Rae and her Advantage Play series is off to a fantastic start! Mafia romantic suspense is on the top of my list for listening, and when I saw this, I was thrilled! Rae created a world of gambling, underground crime and human trafficking. Ace is caught up in all of it. As a child, she was exposed to horrific events, but has grown up with a mission. She is an incredible card player, but beside her talent for statistics, she can read expressions, which is what makes her so successful. When she is approached by Kingston , the head of the Romano family with a proposition, she takes it and finds herself in a situation that can help him and get her revenge. Though life is never that easy. Will she find her solace? Will Kingston protect her? Rae has fantastic characters sprinkled into this story. I love Ace. She is so confident and strong, extremely independent and knows how to survive. Kingston is ruthless, does what he needs to do except when it comes to Ace. I love the tender side of the man. Love Gigi and Jack, but wonder how they will fit in! Add in that card counting always fascinated me, along with the idea of being able to identify the tells, and I was hooked. The ending had me grabbing book two so I could see this story through!

Kesley Navarro and Aaron Shedlock are perfectly cast. Shedlock proves his talent with several different points of view, and flawlessly switches between them. Each voice distinct and fitting the personality of the character. Navarro shines as Ace. She has a quality that gives the strength to Ace with a hint of vulnerability and it's suits her! I love this team and can't wait to see what happens next!

Captivating Story! A must listen!

This book was riveting! Once I started listening I couldn't stop. Ace is a strong heroine who wants to make a Mafia Boss pay for ruining her life. She is a strong, smart, independent woman. But what will happen when she meets a rival Mafia Boss named Kingston? Sparks fly, but is she too headstrong for her own good?

I loved the characters, story, and narrator's did an amazing job.

The author tells a story that leaves you wanting more. I can't wait to read the next books to see what happens!

Amazing Series!

This is the first book in the Advantage Play Series, an amazing Romantic Suspense. This story is well written, suspenseful, fast-paced, and captivating. Impossible to put it down. The storyline is filled with intrigue and mystery. The chemistry between Ace and Kingston is really hot! The story ends with a cliffhanger, Kelsey Navarro and Aaron Shedlock did a fantastic job with the narration! Looking forward to listen to the next book in the Series, Dark King. I HIGHLY recommend it.

So Boring.

This book went absolutely nowhere. Just a waste of time. Save your money don’t get this book
