Hilarious heroine Jacklyn Wyatt is back—this time in a dicey Vegas adventure! Jacklyn “Jack” Wyatt is just your average Mormon girl—other than her brief stint with the FBI, her subsequent brush with death, and her dreamy boyfriend, Special Agent Damon Wade. But in the eight months since she helped save a kidnapping victim, Jack’s life has returned to its mostly stagnant state. She’s still trapped in a dead-end job, and even her relationship seems to be stuck in a rut. These days, adventures are few and far between. So when Damon heads to Las Vegas on assignment, Jack sees the perfect opportunity to surprise her boyfriend and rekindle the spark in their relationship. But the surprise is on her: she has just landed herself in the middle of a high-stakes operation involving Russian criminals. Unwittingly drawn undercover once more, Jack is all too aware that the survival of Damon and his associates depends on the success of her charade. In the unfamiliar world of luxurious limos, exclusive nightclubs, and gambling, Jack must convince the high-rolling hustlers that she is a terrifying international arms dealer. If only she knew anything about poker. Or guns . . .
I loved the author's first book, Date with Danger, (you can learn more about it here) and I was excited for a second book! Jacklyn ("Jack") is just an average Mormon girl dating FBI Special Agent Damon Wade. He wants her to come to Las Vegas to meet his family but she's not able to. Her plans change at the last minute so she decides to surprise him--and ends up right in the middle of his dangerous operation. Jack and Damon need to work together to make it out alive.
I love the author's sense of humor!! Jack is funny and easy to relate to. She goes way out of her comfort zone to help Damon and they get in some pretty tight spots. She has a lot of questions about their relationship and I liked how they were able to move that forward even in less than ideal circumstances. She found ways to stay true to who she was even when it seemed like it would be impossible. I loved her commentary throughout and laughed out loud several times.
I loved the first book and have to say that I loved this one even more! Be warned that once you pick this up, it will be hard to put down. It can be read on it's own, but these books are highly entertaining so you will want to read them both. They are perfect for anyone that enjoys clean, contemporary romantic suspense! I hope there will be more of Jack and Damon in the future!
