Court and his two brothers, Nate and Alex, had a very tough
life
growing
up. Their mother left them when they were very young and
their dad was a drunk. They are now undercover FBI agents,
acting as
owners of a biker bar named Aces and Eights.
Years ago, Court fell in love with Lauren. One day he gets a
call from
Lauren ending everything between them. While Court has no
idea why
this happened, he just continues on with his life. Lauren
can't tell Court
what is going on is because of her ex-husband, Stephan, who has
recently been released from prison. Stephan has always told
Lauren
that no other man will ever have her.
Lauren is best friends with Madison who just happens to be
married to
Court's brother Alex. Strange things are happening at the
bookstore
that the two women own. Alex asks Court to stay with Lauren
until they
can figure out how to keep them safe. Once again the sparks
are flying
between Court and Lauren. Lauren still can't explain to
Court what is
going on. And the more the brothers dig in, they find out
why Lauren is
afraid of Stephen. Stephen on several occasions has beaten
Lauren
enough to put her in the hospital.
Court is now going to do whatever he can to protect Lauren.
Lauren is
not just afraid for herself, but also for Court. Can this
King of Clubs
protect the only woman he has ever loved?
I really enjoyed this second book in the
Aces and Eights series by Sandra Owens. We learn
a little
bit more about the brothers' upbringing. Owens writes about the
wonderful relationship between these three brothers. How
they will go
out of their way to protect each other is a delight to read.
Even though KING OF CLUBS is the
second in this series, you don't have to read the first one,
as Owens
does give some of the backstory. I have read that book as
well and
loved it as much as I loved this book. This is an exciting
addition to a
great series.
If you want to read a great book showing a rekindled love,
as well as
checking in with all of the brothers, this is the book for you.
In the second novel in acclaimed author Sandra Owens’s Aces & Eights series, passions—and tempers—flare as one star-crossed couple gets a second chance at love. Covert FBI agent Court Gentry loves his brothers, his job, and his Harley-Davidson. Once he loved a girl, too, but when she broke his heart, he put his emotions on lockdown…until she crosses his path again. On vacation six years ago, free-spirited Lauren Montgomery fell hard for Court Gentry. She returned home happier than ever, only to descend into a spiral of abuse by her ex-husband, Stephan. When Stephan threatened to kill any man who touched her, Lauren cut Court from her life—but not from her heart. When Lauren and Court reunite after her friend marries his brother, Court guards himself against the person who made him feel such intense passion and pain. Except the undeniable spark between them is impossible to contain and heating up fast. Six years ago, it was love. Now, it’s just lust. Keeping it merely physical is a foolproof plan…right? When Stephan is released from prison, Lauren can’t outrun her past anymore, and Court vows to protect her. But with Lauren in imminent danger, Court must question his heart and risk his life to save the woman he never stopped loving.
