Christina C Jones has RANGE.
This book is very different from the Love sister series. It’s very dark and there is a lot of violence in this book.
Asha is a amateur Poker player trying to go pro with a dark past. Kingston is the owner of the casino/club where Asha works (but he is not her direct boss… so it didn’t read like a classic boss/employee romance).
(4.5 stars)
Notes: takes place in Las Vegas, NV. Asha and Kingston are both Black
