And if protecting her means upsetting the house…

He should be the enemy.
Instead, he’s the one man making me believe I’m worthy.

MY REVIEW- OUTSTANDINGLY GOOD
Beautiful, clever, afraid to trust Trixie was someone that I wanted to win so bad. Someone to stand by her because no one ever did. UNTIL.. she met Hugh Tolliver. Someone she never saw coming and was afraid of. Definitely attracted to but she sure wasn't going to trust or lean on HIM or anyone. That never worked out well in the past. Hugh Tolliver was sharp, mean against his enemies and he pretty sure she was an enemy when he spotted her in his casino. BUT he was very intrigued by her almost against his will. Hugh Tolliver I wanted him to win too ! And then she slowly draws him in almost against her will. She's intrigued and attracted to him too. She doesn't know it at first but he will decide that anyone that tries to hurt her, he will burn to the ground. He does begin to see her strengths, she's small but feisty and SHE will burn her enemies to the ground IF SHE gets the chance. She's planning ! I loved that she was a redhead. I also loved the whip smart, quirky and sassy conversations between Trixie and Hugh. Almost always does seem to start with Trixie. She starts it and often gets the last words too. But Hugh isn't left out of those few funny quips either. Funny !!! There will also be some hot sex between them too.
The story is so sharply woven in all the best ways. The dangers, their enemies being MANY steps ahead of Trixie and Hugh. The clever ways that they try and often success in getting ahead of the enemy's plan. Awesome !
The enemies were so clearly drawn that I could almost see them as well as our hero and heroine. So well the different settings of the casino and many evil places of business.
Trixie's sister, Molly, is she the innocent victim of the conspiracy or not? Held hostage or the leader of the gang? Good questions and great resolutions. I cried for her and her sister.
Beckett, was he really the good, trusted ally of Hugh's at the casino and his personal life ?He sure seems to be. I did like him though.
The Epilogue was the best !! Great way to end the story.
