CCJ is one that I won’t take no arguments about and that remains after reading Ante Up (my 30th title!!). Sis don’t miss!

Not usually a fan of insta love, but King and Asha had that smoking hot chemistry. I loved that she wasn’t sitting and waiting to be saved but also that King was ready and willing to save her.

The high-stakes poker/black Vegas royalty was a unique setting. I love that they were running a legitimate business successfully but also weren’t afraid to get their hands dirty when needed.

I had no issues with any of the main or supporting characters - even the villain was done well. 

Just another top tier story by the one and only CCJ! 🙌🏾
