Going All In by Kate Campfield

funny lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

I adored Maddox’s character. He was thoughtful, caring, supportive, and most of all…consistent. His job as a professional poker player - such a fun part of the story! 

Holly was a little harder to take to. There was a repetitive reference to her ex. Totally get trauma/grief, but to me, it was super repetitive enough to get an eye-roll once you came across the parts that you knew would link back to “the incident.” I loved her character’s dedication to her job, though. 

Towards the end, there is a part of the story that threw me off guard because it seemed really out of character for Maddox to have kept the information from Holly. 

It’s an easy quick holiday-ish read, and the secondary characters were so fun!! 


Notes: Book 1 of Betting on Love series 

Tropes: holiday-ish, stepbrother romance (but not taboo!), he falls first, golden retriever MMC
