A great summer time read! Fun and oh, so sexy. I had a fun time reading this in Vegas on my honeymoon by the pool. It set the mood for the whole trip.

Jax and Treena's story. Prequel to JUST FOR KICKS. Jax has to find his father's collectible baseball, which his father's widow has in her possession. He devises a plan to seduce the gold-digging floozy who ran through his father's fortune, and relieve her of the baseball which should have been his. Unfortunately, Treena is nothing like he supposes, and Jax gradually discovers that he has lied to the one woman he can love.

I enjoyed this book, but it was tense, rather than light hearted, because the hero has childhood problems to work through. I liked the sequel much better.

This book was a lot of fun and informative in that I learned how the big poker tournaments were run.

Treena McCall seems to be your typical Las Vegas Showgirl, what I liked is that this books takes you into a look behind the curtain (so to speak) and gives you a glimpse of how life can be for a showgirl. Jax seems to be your typical bad boy who was estranged from his father, even after his father's death. A professional gambler, he ends up betting an item that isn't his and has to secure a way to get this item from his father's widow, who just happens to be Treena. The character's are well written so that I couldn't wait to find out what happens next. There are a few other characters to add to the mix, Carly, Treena's neighbor and best friend since starting in the business, Ellen, an ex-librarian neighbor, and Mack the handyman. Good laughs, great story.

What a delightful read....fun characters, Las Vegas showgirls, quirky but believable plot, and lots of dialogue to keep you chuckling and occasionally outright laughing! This is the first of two about glamourous gal friends, Treena and Carly. I am so glad I have both of them to read in a row. The second book is 'Just For Kicks'.
