Holding Aces was a brilliant read for me, the way it was written was not only captivating but you could feel the emotion in the words, the feelings that Natalie had the fear, the hope and the love, it all came through in this book and I loved every single chapterThis book starts off telling by telling us exactly what Natalie has gone through in her life and in this day and age I feel it will touch a lot of people out there in that they will unfortunately relate to the circumstances here and to me that made this book more real.This is a dramatic, mysterious and sexy book; it has some very tender moments in here that will melt your heart.For a debut novel this is to me a 6 star, I can’t fault it, there was everything in here that I had expected right from the beginning and the book kept me sitting and reading, I hated having to stop reading and actually go to sleep and now I want book 2.Natalie our leading lady, has been put through hell by her ex and feels she can’t let herself trust anyone, while reading about her story and life I found myself crying in sympathy with what she has gone through it was so emotional and raw that it just broke my heart. I longed for her to find love and peace.You can tell how Natalie see’s life from the beginning when she makes a statement to herself “Happily ever after was never possible” to me this just shows how unhappy and defeated she felt about her life.There is still a lot of uncertainty with Natalie, her self confidence has been bashed and bruised for years and the self doubts come in but the good thing about Denham is he is different; he gives a damn about her and will never make her do anything she is not ready for.  The way the scenes are described will make you want more and you will, you will keep reading this book and then at the end you will read again, that is what I did, I have read the book twice now as I loved it so much.Denham King, well what can I say about him, hot as hell,  so sexy he should be illegal, he is funny, dramatic and mysterious and a real man, he is also very protective but so kind and gentle, honestly he is everything you want in a man and more. The way Nikki has described him in this book conjures up imagined in my mind and phew they are HOT.  In the words of Natalie, Denham King is OFF. THE. CHART. HOT!!!!  That sums it up reallyThere is so much sexual tension between Mr King and Natalie in this book that you feel it, it is very erotic and yes I was shouting at my kindle “Oh my God, get it on already” but when they do, watch out as it is extremely hot and very sexy to read even I was in need of a very cold shower.A phrase from Mr King that keeps coming back to me is: - "I'm all or nothing sweetheart, when I do something, I do it with everything I've got." – Super hotAnd Natalie’s reply is just as hot, wanting even: - "I.... " I stutter, the words faltering and sticking in the back of my throat. Then I look at him, his soft eyes with those mesmerising gold flecks, and I muster up all the confidence I own. "I want you to kiss me, Mr King. "This book does have a cliff hanger but it made me want to know more and I would have no doubts in recommending this book to everyone
