Vice Jackson is not your normal Vegas looser. He managed to overcome his upbringing and start a successful career as one of Vegas' top tattoo artist. He even managed to fall in love with the girl  had been crushing on for close to four years. Add in a successful side gig as a professional poker player, and the chance to renew his relationship with his mom, and Vice was on top of the world. Or should have been.Standing in his way is the mega millionaire club owner Chase Miller. Miller doesn't like the self made man Vice has become. And he is trying everything in his power to bring Vice down. A cruel twist of fate just might allow Miller his chance when secrets are exposed and the ante is upped.This is a different kind of book for Bryant, and she tackles it well. The storyline is original and solid, I was really able to get into the characters and feel a connection to them. She keeps the story moving at an easy pace, and throws you for a loop with an early plot twist. It's hard to get the feel of Vegas down without sounding cliche and using overdone story lines. I really feel she gave it her own original take and gave us a guy we could route for.Stick with this one. It's the perfect beach read and I feel it's a keeper that deserves some recognition. This one shows how much Bryant is growing as a writer, and I look forward to future reads from her .
