Cassandra Whitman is having a rough day at work. Her dream
job is working at an art gallery but her lack of ambition
has kept her waitressing at a Las Vegas steakhouse where the
tips are good and help her pay the rent. Since she caught
her now-ex-boyfriend, the manager, cheating with another
waitress, work seems unbearable. Enter hot and sexy Ryan
Haverty who took one look at the waitress in the
black-seamed stockings and fell instantly in lust.
Cassandra impulsively decides to shed her good-girl skin and
takes off with Ryan for a night of fun in Vegas. Soon they
are both shedding their inhibitions and playing fun and sexy
games that involve costumes and role-play.
Ryan has spent most of his adult life suppressing his urge
for sexy game-play. A Major in the 64th Aggressor Squadron
he knows the Air Force would frown on his unusual
activities, especially when some of their games go public
and they risk getting caught. He also worries about imposing
his own "deviance" on Cass, so he works to keep sex
"normal." For her part, Cass doesn't understand the
reservation she senses from Ryan when it comes to sex. They
are learning to trust each other with their family,
personal, and work issues. Can they get past Ryan's fears to
trust each other in every way?
DOUBLE DOWN is a sexy, fun, and emotionally rich erotic
romance. I loved Cass and Ryan, individually and as a
couple. Their sexy game play was adventurous, charming, and
fun. The challenge Ryan faces in embracing his sexual
desires parallels Cass's need to take control of her
professional life. They both must have the courage to take
risks to get what they want. The relationship outside of
the bedroom was strong, with each challenging the other to
take those leaps of faith required in building the life you
want.
DOUBLE DOWN, the first book in the Vegas Top Guns series,
has left me eagerly anticipating the next book in the
series, Inside Bet. The glimpse I got of some of
Ryan's squadron definitely captured my interest and I can't
wait to see what's next.
As part of the 64th Aggressor Squadron, Major Ryan “Fang”
Haverty flies like the enemy to teach Allied pilots how not
to die. The glittering excess of the Strip can’t compare to
the glowing jet engines of his F-16. But a sexy, redheaded
waitress in seamed stockings? Now she gets his blood pumping.
Cassandra Whitman’s good-girl ways haven’t earned any slack
from her manager ex-boyfriend, or prevented a bad case of
frazzle from holding down two and a half jobs. She sure
wouldn’t mind letting the handsome Southern charmer shake up
her routine.
Their wild weekend lives up to Sin City’s reputation.
Especially when they discover a matched passion for
roleplaying. For Cass, it’s an exciting departure from her
normal, shy persona. But for Ryan, it triggers memories of a
time when his fetish drove away the woman he loved—leaving
him reluctant to risk a repeat performance.
Except Cass refuses to settle for ordinary ever again. She’s
about to show the man with hair-trigger hands that she’s got
a few surprise moves of her own.
Warning: This book contains dirty-hot
roleplaying, featuring an all-alpha fighter pilot and an
ambitious waitress with a fabulous imagination. Also:
dressing-room sex, a plaid schoolgirl skirt, and a
sprinkling of spankings.
