Player: A Bad Boy Stepbrother Romance by Scarlet North
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Penny is juggling waitressing and dancing to save the funds so she can renew her bartender license. as she rushes into the casino she's supposed to be working tonight, she's saved by a handsome stranger from tripping over the carpet and making a fool of herself.
the stranger turns out to be jonah, one of the best poker players of the moment, a man who gets what he whats. it seems that her rescuer has set his eyes on her, starting with requesting personally for her to wait on "his" table during the poker tournament. the evening ends on a high when he traps her on his lap while he keeps on winning one poker hand after the other. the buzz of the win getting all kind of things "high".
penny thinks that once his games are done so is she, but jonah has other plans and whisks her up to his penthouse suite in the hotel/casino.
the night is spent so not sleeping! for jonah things aren't normal either, he can't get enough of penny, he doesn't even mind snuggling with her. he even demands she stay at his suite all day and spends another evening with him.
everything seems to go well but things take a different route when jonah has to leave town for his next tournament. penny's co-workers kindly bring her down from her high, telling about all the exploits of jonah with the other girls and woman on the floor. he wines and dines them for a while and then moves to the next. penny somehow doesn't believe them and still hopes to hear from jonah.
how will this couple fare? will penny's wishes come true or is there more graver news on the horizon that threatens them even more?
hot, sensual story about the attraction between two people who are surprised about their feelings and their battle to hold on to them!
miss north has delivered another masterpiece, keep them coming!

- I'm a rookie writer enjoying the flow of words sprouting out of my fingers. Sometimes it goes easy, at other times it's a real struggle. I love and crave any kind of feedback, good or bad. I write when I can, but a husband, two kids, 4.2 cats (aging from 15 years to 4 months) do take up most of my time. Yet I found the time to try out something I never thought I was good at. I started writing. I came to love it and enjoy the new friendships I've made with fellow writers I simply adore (well I like the writers, but adore their work *grins*)
