Summary

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.

Really enjoyed this book

Loved this book from the beginning to the end, little bit of steamy sex, little bit of humour with a great story line.

Took a chance and really enjoyed it!

I really like the characters in this story. They are very imperfect but all deserving of respect.

Good story

Enjoyed this book and did not want it to end
Felt cheated out of hearing Asha’s story about her dad.
Also felt like the whole story was rushed to conclusion but overall enjoyed the good balance between intimate scenes and other aspects of the story

Really enjoyable

It makes a nice change to have a female protagonist who has agency over her life and isn’t portrayed as a weak, tiny, helpless woman- child.

The usual romance tropes are all there but she has skill, savvy, relatable struggles and emotions, strong family ties and friendship. A well rounded character in a well written story.

Still as exciting as the first read

i read the paperback a few years ago and loved it. The audible was just as good and finished the book over one weekend!

Best narration, made the story even better

I picked this book mainly because of the narration. I will listen to anything that Jakobi Diem and Wesleigh Siobhan narrate, they have the most sultry, enchanting voices and their performance is always amazingly good, enhancing the story even more.
Saying that, we can not go wrong with a Christina story either. Christina writes the most delicious MMC and I can't get enough of them. The steam levels are of the charts with the MFC as the focal point and I love that. In this story they come from extremely different background and they have trauma in their past that still governs their actions. They can't ignore the pull they feel and have to overcome hurdles and let go of the past in order to have a future. Great story with many sad and tragic themes, lots of drama, and hot hot hot 🔥🌶

10/10 book

10/10 book with so many twists and turns. I was hooked from the very first chapter but I didn't know what I was getting myself into. This book kinda gives me Mafia romance vibes even though it's not that genre.
