High Stakes throws together two people who are both commitment shy and makes them realize that life really isn't worth living if you don't have someone to share it with.Alisa Turner is given a chance to turn her life around and to make a success of herself. Her father agrees to invest in a new fashion boutique if she agrees to stay out of the tabloids. Initially, this is an easy task. Alisa throws herself into her business venture, traveling to various cities to secure merchandise. Her last trip to Las Vegas before her grand opening proves to be her downfall.On the flight, Alisa meets a sexy stranger. Liam is much older than she is (about twenty years) but she can't deny the attraction. She accepts his invitation to dinner thinking it won't hurt and no one will know since she's only in town one night. Too many drinks later she finds herself married to a stranger. Alisa bolts, telling Liam she wants a divorce but Liam has other plans.Liam has been married to his work his entire life. Not even his teenage daughter gets much attention and a relationship is unheard of. But there is something about Alisa he can't resist and he decides to fight for this marriage, even though everyone thinks he is crazy, especially since there was no prenump.The relationship goes up and down over the next few weeks with the couple coming together thinking they will make a go of it to being driven apart by Alisa's ex-fiance and Liam's obsession with his business.This was definitely a Harlequinesque type romance with over the top characters and crazy situations. I quite enjoyed the roller coaster ride as Alisa and Liam fit their lives together into a happily ever after and I think I might search out some of the other books in the previous Nashville Night's series and learn the stories of the characters who made appearances in this novel.4 out of 5 stars.I received a copy of this novel for an honest review
