Darn it... I really really wanted to love this story. When I read the book description it had me captivated. The plotline of this young woman owned, and repetitively offered as the winner in a high stakes poker game an intrguing concept. Looking at this young woman, and disecting her life to fully understand how she could exist as a regular prize was an instantanous attention getter. Honestly, this was exactly the story that I recieved, but it was not everything that I thought it would be. Kyle and Tara's romance was missing an intensity and mesmerizing connection that I would have expected in a story that holds so much desperation. After the instantaneous development of feeling through a shocking touch this couple puts everything on the line. This was so uncharacteristic and unrealistic. I was shocked as the story continues, and it seemed as though the bosses are so easily manipulated. WEAK!!! It is not a word that should be used when explaining characters such as Kyle and Tara's bosses. Not to mention that ability for Kyle to rush in, and sweep Tara away from the airport. What kind of man bets 100,000 in a poker game, and doesn't keep track of his investment. This story just really lacks some development that would be essential for making an incredible story. The concept/idea is wonderful, and I would love to see more like. I just hope that the development and detail is more carefully created when hoping to build in truly great story.~BookWhisperer Reviewer Jax~
