This is the second book in Katie Porter's Vegas Top Guns series, and oh my! They are just getting better and better.On the face of it, Inside Bet is scorching hot sex. Heather Morris, a straight-laced accountant with a wild background she keeps hidden like a shameful secret and Jon "Tin Tin" Carlisle, a playboy flyboy stationed at the local Air Force base meet by chance at a wine tasting, and sparks fly like it's the finale of the Fourth of July fireworks spectacular. They are both surprised by the chemistry and vow to enjoy that as a delicious one-night thing.But what surprises them even more is that they find they... can't. Tentatively, cautiously, and reluctantly, they start to see that they really enjoy each other's company, that they might be willing to not only trust themselves with the other in bed (pushing those games and those limits farther than either has ever done before--and that's pretty far!), they might actually be able to entrust their real selves to the other *out* of the bedroom.Jon is very much like this story--he presents himself as just another gorgeous face on the make for a good time. But what he works so hard to keep hidden is a loyal heart (a la Rin Tin Tin) who has yet to find reason to trust a woman with its care. While his creative burning up the sheets with Heather will have your pulse racing, Ms. Porter's slow reveal of Heather and Jon's reasons for caution and their growing bond will have your eyes and your heart filling with the gamut of emotions.Don't miss this read. Ms. Porter (actually Lorelie Brown and Carrie Lofty ably co-writing) includes glimpses of Ryan and Cass from Double Down (book 1) and Leah, whose story gets told next in Hold 'Em.
