Review: Serialized Capers of a really odd group

There is no denying the absolute escapist fun found in the second Nadia Wolf novel.  For those of you who weren't aware (as I wasn't at first) this is sort of serialized.  While each book can stand on its own, They are an ongoing continuation of the madcap misadventures of our quirky Nadia Wolf and friends.  There is some romance, but I really don't believe I could categorize it in the romance genre.  What romance there is, is minimal and more as an afterthought to the general storyline.There is a ton of fun and laugh-out-loud scenes that will make your sides hurt.  Anyone remember "come back my Poker Princess!"?  Nadia is a semi-pro poker player in Las Vegas trying to earn enough to get by.  Her car has broken down and her manager keeps setting up "gigs" that don't quite work out.  She is joined by her landlord/boss/manager Frankie, Caleb, Sergio the lovesick clinger, Greyson, Remy, Mya, and more.  Together they encounter deranged poker players, a vindictive losing gambler, and spies in search of a missing trophy.This is a very enjoyable break from reality. I would recommend giving it a try; who doesn't need a good laugh?!
