Wow--this was another don't-want-to-put-it-down read. Thank goodness for the Polar Vortex and blizzards; because of them I didn't have to!The chemistry between Teague and Risa is absolutely undeniable--Robin Covington wrote some really smoking scenes for them. I was rooting for them from the beginning--all the secrets and things they kept hidden from each other for much of the novel were nerve-racking (but of course made for excellent plot, darn it).My biggest concern was how they would manage to put Risa's betrayal in the past and move on, but fortunately Robin handled this well. It definitely helped that Risa had definite reasons for what she did--and that Teague was in a position to understand her reasons objectively.Plus, it didn't hurt that he was crazy about her. ;)Some of the finer points of the Las Vegas/mobster plot sailed neatly right over my head--but I'm pretty sure that's just because I was reading very quickly so as to get to the HEA. I loved Risa's business (and how it took over their wedding "reception"; that part was just too funny) and her determination to stand up for herself no matter what.(Teague's not too bad either. Especially if you picture Jensen Ackles while you're reading...)This is the third book in the series. I have yet to read the first two books, though they're in my TBR. Sweet Southern Betrayal can be read as a standalone--but of course now I am *dying* to read the first two. It's my goal to accomplish that before Beck's story comes out, at least!This was just a great read from start to finish. I cannot wait to get to the other books in the series.A- rating; 4 1/2 stars.I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.
