I'm not a betting man, but I'd bet on you. I'd bet on us. Every time. All in.
Thank you for letting me read and review the ARC of "Betting Man". I LOVED the final book in the Beaufort Poker Club series (which I found in January and absolutely devoured)!
I've enjoyed this entire journey with the BPC, and Bridget and Chase were worth the wait. I had so many emotions while reading this, and I appreciate how Maggie handled Bridget's trauma and the ups-and-downs in their relationship. Goodness....I cried. I smiled. The sexual chemistry between these two had me sweating! (The discussion on proclivities, boundaries, and consent! YES! I am here for all of that!)
Maggie provided a lovely summary of expectations for some of the difficult content in this book, and it was such an experience to feel what Bridget was going through, as well as watching Chase figure out how he could be accepting and supportive of her healing (and recognizing that he had some healing to do, as well).
Chase. Chase. Chase. I just don't have words.
I keep recommending this series every chance I get. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The characters feel real, the emotions are raw, the tension palpable, and the spice is *chef's kiss*. Start with Poker Face. You won't regret it!
Now, as a last request (and I can't be the only one thinking about it), I hope there is some future book in store for our favorite firefighter, Austin Hale. I live three houses down from the fire department, and every time I walk my dog, I keep an eye out for him!
I'll keep an eye out for my invite to poker night, but until then...
Happy Reading!
