A review by librariann
The Rules for Hearts by Sara Ryan

Kind of a yawner with less heart than Empress of the World. Didn't feel strongly connected to the characters. Ryan is still a talented writer but didn't connect with the reader in this effort. Disappointing companion novel. For a more engaging story of gambling, family, and - shall we say "progressive multigenerational households" - try Beginner's Luck by Laura Pederson.
