I’ve been a big fan of Ms. Carlson’s Jessica McClain series and I jumped at the chance to read her new Sin City Collectors series.  Right off the bat, we are introduced to Nevada “Neve” Hamilton who works for the Collectors, bringing in supernatural beings like a paranormal bounty hunter.  Neve usually works on her own because she hasn’t needed anyone to help her because she has supernatural skills, she’s a dhampir.  Her next assignment is to bring in a vampire and they have paired her with the worst person possible, Jake Troubadour.  Jake runs a bar in Las Vegas, is one of the few hellhounds in existence and the one man that Neve has a complicated romantic history with. The only thing is that this assignment will challenge them like never before and have them facing romantic feelings about each other that they have been trying to deny.I think that this is going to be one of my new favorites because I loved Neve and Jake together in this story.  Neve and Jake have been trying to deny what happened between them three years ago and every time that they are together sparks fly.  Neve is very independent and has spent most of her life doing things on her own.  She doesn’t know much about her past and there hasn’t been anyone in her life to teach her about her dhampir side. She has always been drawn to Jake in the past and can’t understand why she has a hard time resisting him.  For Jake, Neve is the one that got away.  He has always had feelings for her and thought that she had felt the same toward him even though she turned her back on him after that night.  This is the one chance to make things right and he will do whatever he has to do to protect her on this assignment.Aces Wild is an action-packed thrill ride with enough sexual chemistry to make your heart race. I loved seeing Neve and Jake as a couple and this story provided some answers regarding Neve’s mysterious past. I thoroughly enjoyed this novella about the Sin City Collectors and this series shows a lot of promise.  The next book in the series is Ante Up and I’m looking forward to learning more about these characters and their adventures as supernatural collectors.Disclaimer:I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
