At a Texas rodeo, used to getting his way with women and horses, following
the title run ultra-wealthy star performer Ryder is stunned when Chloe rejects
his asking her out. However, her drunken
friend Shelby gives him Chloe’s number.
Chloe tells “the hottest cowboy in Texas” that she might change her mind
if he plays his cards right. Not long
afterward, he informs his older brother that he just accepted a challenge from
a non-groupie.
In that same evening, Ryder loses his ranch in a poker game. In shock as he always wins, Ryder is in
disbelief at two strikeouts. Thus he
accepts Chloe’s proposal that she win back his spread in return for his paying
her law school costs. Chloe and Ryder
head to Vegas where the daughter of a professional card-player prepares for
high stakes games of poker and love.
The first Texas Kings contemporary is an entertaining romance that
takes readers from an earthy rodeo and ranch to the glitter of the Vegas night
lights. The lead couple’s jocular bluffs
and calls make for a fine read; as the protagonists are unaware that the real
ante in the game of love is the king and queen of hearts.
