Casino King by Rebecca Gannon
4.0

I enjoyed this book. It’s different from Gannon’s other works (i.e. small town romance) and she does a fantastic job with it. In all honesty, I pre-ordered it, without reading the description because her work is always getting better.
This book is similar to the first in her Pine Cove series, where it’s insta-lust/love between the hero and heroine. Though this time, we get the male perspective! The dual POVs round the story out nicely. This book is nicely sexy
Tessa is a delightful character; life has thrown her some curve balls, but she keeps at it and continues her passion for dancing.
Alec is different from Gannon’s usual male leads. One) he’s in the mafia; two) kidnapping doesn’t bother him. I enjoyed his perspective because it gives insight to his actions. There are times where it seems the mark for alpha male is missed where he comes off as more of a petulant child rather than a confident adult.

All in all, it’s an entertaining, worthwhile read. I’m excited for the next book!
