The Gamble
by Kristen Ashley
I'm sure you are shocked that I have read another Kristen Ashley book. I've only read about 20 in 2013. I'm not sure why I was hesistant to give the Colorado Mountain series a chance, but man, am I glad I did.
If you have read Kristen Ashley, you know she pretty much ONLY writes alpha-males (which is fine with me). This book is no exception. The alpha in this book is Holden Maxwell (though everyone calls him Max, as will I going forward). Nina Sheridan shows up at Max's house in the Colorado town of Gnaw Bone to stay at a house she's rented, to evaluate her relationship with her dull, non-attentive boyfriend in England. When she arrives, she finds Max and he's not happy. He tells her to leave, she heads down the mountain and ends up in an accident.
She wakes up the next day in Max's bed. And she is sicker than a dog. Max nurses her back to health, and then won't let her leave (not really against her will). This is a small town, and Nina quickly becomes part of the town, forming a close relationship with Max's like-sister Mindy, a rape victim who has an asshole boyfriend. There is also a murder mystery in the book as well.
Nina's mom is hilarious, and I enjoyed her part in this book. The townspeople are fun and likable, and even the jerks in this book don't detract from the overall appeal
I will be reading on for sure. My only complaint (or really criticism) is that KA's books are a tad too long and have a little too much detail.
