ARC REVIEW One Night Gamble by Katherine Garbera
One Night Gamble (Joker's Wild, #1)Jokers Wild #1, Jokers Wild is a new Casino in Las Vegas it's owned by three friends who have been by each other's side since they were kids and they have in their each way made it big. Casey the gambler, Nicholas the magician, and Darien the dare devil; all three of them invested their money together to create a new experience for those coming to Vegas. Talia has spent the last seven years of her life cleaning up her father's mess, an inept gambler, if it wasn't for Talia her grandmother would have lost the house to a loan shark because he used it as collateral. Talia has sworn off gamblers she's concentrating on her job and taking care of her Gran.

Talia has the opportunity to get a really good job managing the social media for the new Jokers Wild casino if she gets this no more working two jobs. Casey isn't looking for anything more than a good time but a chance encounter with a woman not once but three times in one day has him thinking differently. One wild and hot night was all it was supposed to be until the next day when they realize Casey is Talia's new boss.

Talia and Casey's sexual attraction is very strong the chemistry is there, but Talia focus so much on the fact that Casey is a gambler and that is basically the epitome of everything she hates that as the reader I had a hard time seeing anything else in the way of Casey's redeeming qualities besides the sexual attraction. Whereas Casey loved everything about Talia you could tell even when she was being obstinate he still loved her and he was trying very hard to get her to see a future for them. Told in the third person POV you get a omniscient view of both sides of their story.

Overall, it was a very smokin' hot story. I enjoyed the characters and their story and I look forward to Nick and Darien's books.

Jokers Wild (Wild Cards, Book 3)
Jokers Wild - George R.R. Martin,Leanne C. Harper,Richard Kriegler,Walter Simons,Melinda M. Snodgrass,John J. Miller,Edward Bryant,Lewis Shiner Very good. Definitely the best of the 3 i've read so far. It flows nicely from one chapter to another, which incidentally are hours of the day, since this is set over a 24 hour period.

I wasn't sure i was going to continue with the rest of the series after reading the first two books, but this has me wanting to read on now.

Very enjoyable.

Call Me (Joker's Wild, #1) - Lena Matthews This was a 3 star book for me except for that first phone call which bumped it up to a 3.5 which I then rounded up to a 4. I really liked that phone call.
All through the book I was expecting him to try the walnut wand and was dissapointed with the way that played out. The wand was played up so much but we never heard of it's actual use! I was expecting some actual wand lovin. The college test subject guys were mentioned but it was almost in passing. I get that his inability to fully support her in her latest endeavor and not the actual invention itself was the cause of the angst between them and maybe I've been reading a little too much m/m but I was left wanting more. Thank goodness for that first phone call!

Jokers Wild
Jokers Wild - George R.R. Martin,Leanne C. Harper,Richard Kriegler,Walter Simons,Melinda M. Snodgrass,John J. Miller,Edward Bryant,Lewis Shiner Another great book in the series. I liked the way it focused on the events of a single day - I'm always a fan of the concurrent storylines. Also, I liked how they weren't afraid to knock off a few extra characters. A very highly recommended addition to the series.
