I've been a fan of the Vegas Top Guns series since reading
book one, Double Down. Sexy and emotional with just
the right amount of romantic tension, I have thoroughly
enjoyed each story. With HOLD 'EM, the duo of authors behind
Katie Porter seems to be hitting its stride. The intensity
is ratcheted up all the way around- more kink, more airborne
suspense, more involvement of friends and family, and more
relationship uncertainty. I could not put it down until I
was sure Leah and Mike got their happy ending.
Captain Leah "Princess" Girardi of 64th Aggressor Squadron
has been on her best behavior since almost making a colossal
mistake after one too many drinks. She's sticking to soda
and avoiding trouble. Unfortunately, trouble finds her in
the form of Captain Mike "Strap Happy" Templeton, ex-lover
and latest addition to the squadron. Leah is unhappy to
discover the attraction is still there but she's determined
to keep their relationship strictly professional. But then
Mike reveals that he likes to be dominated in the bedroom
and soon Leah discovers how much she enjoys playing the
mistress. Leah is a natural femdom, but there are a lot of
bumps in the road to adjusting to a new life, a new job, and
a new relationship.
Daughter of a world-famous motocross champion, and head-on
competitor with three brothers, Captain Leah “Princess”
Girardi was born with a need for speed. No one tells her
what to do, especially not men with chauvinistic “girls
can’t be fighter pilots” attitudes.
That’s what ended her brief relationship with Captain Mike
“Strap Happy” Templeton. Now, six years later, he’s been
assigned to her squadron, and whoa damn, he’s filled out
nicely. Plus he’s cultivated a Zen-like chill factor that
pulls at her hormones.
Even after four tours, Mike’s the new kid in the 64th
Aggressor Squadron. That’s not the only thing new. Since he
last saw Leah, he’s learned a few things about himself. A
female who outranks him still makes his teeth grind, but in
the bedroom he craves the rush of pain inflicted by an
adoring, powerful woman.
Their reunion is an explosive revelation. Leah is the
beautiful mistress he’s been searching for, and she takes to
her new role like a natural. But Leah’s aware one thing
hasn’t changed. Loving him is still an all-or-nothing
proposition. She’s not sure her reckless streak is wide
enough to risk her career—and her heart.
