Review:
Nadia Wolf had one wish - to win the world
poker tournament and collect the million dollar prize. The odd stack against her
when celebrity porker champion Caleb Usher sits down at her table playing a
game of mental poker. As the tournament
goes on the million dollar prize disappears in front of everyone on national TV. Grayson Miller CEO of the casino works with
Nadia to solve the mystery.
Nicolette Pierce is a self-published author who took
me by surprise pulling the reader into the world of high stakes poker and a
mystery that had me guessing until the thief was revealed. This book has it all
humor, kick butt heroine, sensuality all mixed into to one great mystery.
Nadia is every girl’s best friend who can’t turn down
a bet no matter the stakes because there is always a chance of winning. The
male romantic characters are swoon worthy for any girl with heart beat but also
realistic enough to make you wonder are they real. Nadia had me laughing so
many time my kids wondered what was so funny.
For a self-published author I didn't find any grammar
errors or for that fact really any spelling errors which I found extremely
impressive.
If you have ever been to Vegas - so many parts of this
book ring true and for those who have never gone this book will make you want
to go.
I think Nicolette Pierce writes a great Romantic
Suspense that keeps you guessing and willing to buy the next in the series
without thinking twice.
Thanks go to Heidi for this review.

Why I Read
this Title: Bag sale
Synopsis: Nadia
Wolf had one wish, and it wasn’t for the latest designer purse, fashion-forward
clothing, or even a handsome man to marry . . . although, that would be
acceptable too. Her wish was to win the World Series of Poker tournament and
collect the one million dollar prize, beating the arrogant men who make her
professional poker career a daily challenge.
The odds were stacked
against her when sexy poker celebrity Caleb Usher sat down at her table. As
they pin their battles against each other, a steamy side wager drew them both
in and gave them an even greater reason to fight for the championship. It only
took one hand to make tournament history and leave them both hot under the
collar. But before they could settle their spicy wager, the million dollar prize
disappeared in front of an audience. Not one witness could explain what
happened or where the money disappeared to.
Greyson Miller CEO of
the Lost City Casino had a mystery to solve. Not only did a thief steal the
million dollars from under his watchful eyes, but a secret swelled so large it
threatened the very core of the casino. In a twist of fate, Nadia teams up with
Greyson in an attempt to find the missing prize and to solve the perilous
mystery that plagued the Lost City Casino. With Greyson’s overwhelming allure,
Nadia has to keep both her head in the game and her hands to herself.
Will she be able unravel
the mystery and find the lost prize money while keeping both Greyson and Caleb
at bay? Can she fend off her fanatical self-appointed poker manager Frankie
Garza before he flushes her career down the toilet in offbeat attempts to make
her famous? With Caleb, Greyson, and Frankie all claiming a stake; Nadia’s
career, her life, and her heart will never be the same again.

Information: It's amazing that words come to my
fingertips when I write my books . . . maybe not all the time :), but when it
comes to writing a biography, I'm lost. To put it simply, I never thought I
would write a book, let alone start a series. In fact, I've had to relearn
grammar . . . okay, I might have been daydreaming through English in school to
begin with. My report card always came back with "Good student but
daydreams too much".
My day job is accounting
and mommy duties. I guess I never thought I would be an accountant either when
I finished my degree in TV & Video production. Life continues to amaze me
as it twists and turns unexpectedly. My nights are free to wander into a world
of my creation. I love to laugh and to find humor in daily life, so I hope my
books have a few chuckles for you.
I value reviews and
posts either here or on other sites. If it's a site that allows responses, I
try to respond by the next day.
