Terry had promised her sister that she would behave and
make nice with Des while in Vegas for her sisters
destination wedding, but she isn't happy. Not long ago
they
had been lovers, but somehow it all fell apart and now
they
can't stand each other. Little does she know that this
trip
will be RAISING THE STAKES in all kinds of ways.
Des is going to Vegas to stand up for his buddy Sin when
he
marries Avery and for nothing else. Unfortunately it
doesn't take long for the stakes to change and suddenly he
finds himself embroiled in a mystery when Terry drags him
to a dog rescue and they stumble onto a murder scene. Now
Terry has a stalker, has almost been kidnapped and they
are
forced to run. The animosity they feel for each other only
creates additional fireworks ... because the spark they
once
felt is still there. Now if they can only stay alive long
enough to figure out what went wrong.
RAISING THE STAKES is a fantastic, hot, tension filled
story with a number of plot twists that the reader won't
see coming. If you have read Sin Factor (the story of Sin
and Avery) then you know Des and Terry are not strangers,
but even if you have not read that book this one is a
stand
alone.
As you read you will see the tension between them
and will be curious as to why they broke up ... and when
you
do you might want to smack a couple of people. I also felt
that she forgave a little too quickly but that aside
RAISING THE STAKES will be one you won't want to put down.
Author Sandy
Loyd has a unique ability to give you a clear picture of
what is happening without being overly wordy. I highly
recommend this book and can't wait to see what else Ms.
Loyd comes up with.
Las Vegas bound for a destination wedding, Terry and Des
have promised to be friends thanks to their relationships
with the bride and the groom.
The ex-lovers certainly never thought they'd be embroiled
into a fast-paced mystery where the stakes are high. Yet,
when they unwittingly stumble near a murder scene, their
gambling getaway takes an unexpected turn into dangerous
territory. And when Terry gains a stalker and is almost
kidnapped, the stakes rise even higher. Terry and Des are
forced to run. Their mutual animosity creates enough
fireworks to add to the already glitzy Vegas skyline.
Can they stay alive long enough to figure out the mystery
even as a romance percolates? More importantly, can these
two work through their differences in order to become true
friends…or go a step further and realize they still care
for
one another?
