Synopsis
Jayne King lived in a world of
players. She’d been groomed by her father to win, taking no prisoners in her
quest to reach the top.
But, it was never enough. She
wanted out, and just when she finds her escape, she’s pulled back into the
underground crime world of Las Vegas. One phone call spins her life out of
control, and she once again has to live her life behind a mask of lies.
Her body is for sale, but her
heart is off limits.
Flynn Maguire, professional
gambler and notorious ladies’ man, always wins. Always. As the heir to the
Maguire Grand Hotel and Casino fortune, he’s always had his desires delivered
on a silver platter. When he crosses paths with Jayne King, he will stop at
nothing to have her.
Nothing has ever stood between
him and what he wanted, and there wasn’t an amount of money he wouldn’t pay to
own her. He realizes too late, that money can’t buy her heart, and he finds
himself in a place he never thought he’d be. Out of luck.
Jayne is a very strong lead character. The fact she had to grow up surrounded by gambling, and being in Casino's really made her have tough skin. Her father was big in the gambling scene and taught her everything he knew and soon she also became a tough contender. Then things get real interesting when her father owes somebody money and they kidnap him which forces Jayne to have to do something she doesn't want to do. She becomes an escort. She already owns the business, why not join in? It makes for easy money and it pays well, and of course its her last resort.
Then enter Flynn McGuire, the sex God on a stick. Jayne has always watched him from afar, but soon finds her self face to face and very intimate with the sexy man. He keeps throwing out mixed signals, Jayne doesn't know which end is up with him. One minute he seems to truly care for her and the next he is making her watch him make out with other women. The one thing Jayne was always good at was putting on a "mask" so to speak, she could control her feelings and play the role of the escort. However, with Flynn, she couldn't do that. She felt and acted like the giddy school girl around him.
Vince, her best friend, and 'go to' guy for setting up her "dates" is very good to Jayne. He helps her see that she is feeling more than client/escort feelings for Flynn. She isn't Jayne around him, she is Janie. He is also the one to keep his head when they are around the men who have her father. And they both realize that the only way to make sure the payments are made on time are if Flynn keeps up her services. Flynn then makes an offer they can't refuse. 10 days with him for a huge amount of money. Jayne can't refuse because it means her father will be released.
This is where things get really interesting. Secrets are revealed, people are hurt, and Jayne ends up more confused than ever.
I really enjoyed this story. It was short, but did not lack substance. You are left not knowing what's going to happen. There will be a book 2, and I know some of the readers like to know if the book has a cliffhanger, so be warned there is a cliffhanger. I, myself, don't mind the cliffhanger, as long as the next book comes out fairly soon after the 1st book is released.
Excerpt:
“Come in, Jayne. I’ve
been looking forward to you all night.”
My body tightened and
my eyes darted around the room, trying to locate the voice. There was a click
and scrape of a lighter flickering, and the lambent reflection revealed a man
lounging in a red suede chair.
I was shocked. Of all
people, I never expected to see Flynn Maguire sitting across from me, or
soliciting my services.
He was incredibly
handsome, more so than the last time I’d seen him. His dark eyes were haunting,
like a starless night and just as empty. When he looked at you, it was
intimidating, dangerous. That mysterious charm always intrigued me. Then again,
I’d always fallen for men like him.
