Maggie Gates has done it again with Square Deal, the third book in The Beaufort Poker Club series! This sizzling, banter filled romance brings together Hannah Jane, a wedding planner with zero patience for entitled billionaires, and Isaac, a commitment averse playboy who thinks marriage is a losing game. Their chemistry? Off the charts. Their dynamic? Utterly addictive.

Hannah Jane and Isaac’s enemies to lovers tension is perfection. From the moment he breaks into her office and helps himself to her champagne, I knew this was going to be a fun ride. Isaac’s no strings attached proposition should have been a disaster, but instead, it’s the spark that sets everything ablaze. The witty back and forth, the undeniable attraction, and the emotional depth that sneaks up on both of them made this book impossible to put down.

Gates masterfully weaves humor, heart, and heat into this story, proving why this series must be read in order. The cameos from past characters add an extra layer of charm, and the pacing keeps you hooked from start to finish. If you love billionaire romance with strong heroines, delicious tension, and a hero who falls hard despite himself, Square Deal is an absolute must read!

A perfect addition to The Beaufort Poker Club series that is fun, fiery, and full of feels!

Hannah Jane and Isaac were a good couple and I enjoyed the book. Isaac standing up for HJ to her mother was great and really showed he was on her side. I also liked that he didn’t begrudge her career and encouraged her to keep working. Isaac’s reasons for not wanting to get married were a little scant, but I can understand why he felt that way. The spicy scenes were great!

4/5 on the Spicy Scale
