Publisher's summary

Two women with nothing in common meet at the blackjack tables . . .

Ellen Turcotte's messy divorce forces her to take a break from her life. She'll go back, after some rest and relaxation. When her best friend suggests a diversion, she's quickly smitten with the allure of cards and the intriguing stranger who never seems to lose a hand. Surely she can play with dangerous temptation, just this once.

Courtney Langford's favorite date is with Lady Luck. Ever since she missed a connection and avoided a deadly plane crash, she always comes up aces. Cards, women . . . seduction is just another way to win. Why should the lovely Ellen be any different?

But Ellen turns out to be a wild card in a game Courtney has been trying so hard not to play.

Tracey Richardson puts all the cards on the table as two women decide if they're going to bet on love.

Contains mature themes.

very good lesbian audiobook

Very good lesbian audiobook interested. full of love, interested subject and sexy with a lot of hot parts, very good.

A Romantic Story Worth Betting On! (Hint- it’s a winner!)

You don't have to be familiar with “games of chance” to enjoy this book, which uses interesting factoids to introduce the chapters- it’s a cute and original writing device. Unlike a lot of romance novels, the reasons these characters have a story to tell actually make sense! I do tire of endless internal dialogue that imagines everything possible way to keep our love birds apart. Never fear ladies, they DO come together and there’s plenty of spice!

There’s a curious contrast in terms of how our two main characters deal with major life-altering events, and both are instructive. Our character who experiences trauma is one story of how someone can work through it. There’s a BEAUTIFUL BONUS with the other romantic lead- rarely do we get to see a character do a post-mortem on a previous relationship that evolves into kind and thoughtful wisdom, while acknowledging their part in everything that occurred. In short, everyone should read this book!

But do it because it’s fun and sexy! It’s embarrassing but true- we all get a bit giddy when the “I love you’s” surface. This book has an especially happy and effusive HEA, with a great supporting cast and a wonderfull narrator!

Finding what you need

Sometimes meeting a stranger is exciting and needed for a fun distraction. But some leave a mark on your soul that is unforgettable and more needed than you expected. This story shows how 2 broken souls can find peace and happiness in the most desperate time of their lives. Fun ride!

Ok

Not my favorite from this author. I've never disliked a MC as much as Ellen. Super immature for a 40 y.o. At times it was like I was reading a YA novel with 17 year olds.
The narrator was sub-par as well. Not one of my favorite readers.

Good book

If you are planning to take this book for a flight finish first the first chapter.
It is a great book, well written and I loved both MC.
Narration was very good as well

Characters just did not grow on me.

I struggled to get to the end and never managed. Maybe I will revisit it later. It started out ok, but the characters became less convincing when it got to the mature themes.
