- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Honestly I’d probably say I give it 4.75 stars. HEAVILY biased because of “Chase Brannan.” 😂 I think I was always classically conditioned to love him due to the closeness to my husband’s name.
ANYway, I only docked that teeny bit because I found some of Chase and Bee’s conversations to be repetitive, and there was a little stint in the middle where I thought the pacing was too slow. Maybe I’m being a hard ass about the repetitive stuff, because both of them probably needed reassurance. We all know the road was a bumpy one!
Other than that, I’d have given it 5 stars! I loved Chase’s personality, I guess in my head I didn’t know he’d be like THE biggest softie of all of the guys! 😂 I was pleasantly surprised by that. Maybe a little more than usual with this series, I found myself choked up at a lot of the found family bits; the part at the end reminded me how much I really loved all the characters and going on their journeys with them! I’m honestly a little sad it’s over! Anyway, loved it. And I think we can all agree about this relationship…FINALLY!

This series by Maggie Gates is filled with emotion, suspense, drama and all the spice you could ask for! This is the last book in this series, it’s Bridget and Chase’s story and it is EVERYTHING!
Betting Man picks up right where Not in the Cards left us on that cliff. Bridget has so much to work through, but there is one thing that she believes whole heartedly and that is the fact that Chase loves her, and she will never doubt it. But the question is, will that be enough?
This one is an emotional roller coaster. Bridget’s vulnerability is up front and present, watching her battle her demons and come out on the other side is simply beautiful.
Maggie writes real people with real lives and there is nothing better than that. I mean who doesn’t love to connect to stories, characters and worlds?
Read this series, read them in order, and be prepared to laugh, cry and maybe blush a little!!
1. Poker Face
2. Wild Card
3. Square Deal
4. In Spades
5. Not in the Cards
6. Betting Man

Please please please check CW and TW before reading this one. I didn’t want this series to end but wow what a way to end it 😊. We got glimpses of Chase and Bridget in the five books leading up so I was excited to dive into this one. While Issac will still be my fave, Chase will definitely hold a special place in my heart.
