I really loved this book and give it 4.5 well deserved stars. It brings us a story about love, loss, broken people, hidden pasts, misunderstandings, shady business, shocks, wonderful friends, lies, … and so much more
After 12 terrible years Trapper gets adopted by Vera. She’s like a mom to him and as of that age poker becomes his life. From a young age he learns to read people. He now is a professional poker player but he also is involved with secret activities at a compound?? Brea lost the love of her life 2 years ago. At a masquerade party she feels immediate attraction to Trapper but when she meets him again without masks she gets a big surprise. What that surprise is you’ll find out when reading this book! It’s worth it 😉
I loved both Trapper and Brea. They are both strong and wonderful. You really feel their chemistry and the few sex scenes are hot!! Maybe their feelings went a little bit fast for me but just a little…
“That feeling I get when I’m around you, it wraps around my lungs and presses against my heart and tingles in my chest. It happens every time I take a breath.”
There were some wonderful side characters too in this book and then there is that epilogue. If a book doesn’t have an epilogue it usually doesn’t feel finished to me. This book has a wonderful epilogue in it with everything you wished for! Perfect!
