Jessica Dodson’s life has been anything but easy. At seventeen, she ran away from home with her eleven year old brother to protect them both from their abusive father. Now, after sacrificing her own happiness for four years while raising Jonathan, she’s ready to have a … Jonathan, she’s ready to have a little fun, including a fling with a crazy hot police officer.
Police Officer Tyler Evans can’t catch a break. He was recently shot twice in the line of duty. If that wasn’t bad enough, he just got dumped by Lauren, the first women he’s ever loved. After dating both Tyler and his longtime best friend and roommate Caleb for several weeks, Lauren finally made her decision. Now Tyler’s looking for a new place to live and a distraction from his recent heartbreak.
Jess, a sexy and sassy exotic dancer, is just the woman to help Tyler forget the woman he lost, even if it’s only for a few hours. She knows she’s nothing more than a stand-in for Lauren, but being with Tyler, even temporarily, is just too good for her to pass up.
One night of excessive drinking sets a series of events into motion that will change Tyler and Jess’s lives. It’ll make them question if something real is actually developing between them, and whether or not they have a future together.
Through all the emotional obstacles, will Tyler be able to convince Jess that she’s more to him than a distraction, more than a replacement for Lauren, and more than an obligation? Or will the ghosts of Jess’s hellish past completely shatter Tyler and Jess’s happily ever after?

Jess hasn’t had an easy life, and she’s trying to do her best for her and her brother. Tyler has been burned before, and he’s a little leery when it comes to women, but circumstances bring them together in a way neither expected. I thought they were perfectly imperfect, reacting to life’s curve balls and rolling with bad news. It was hot and sexy, and tearful and rough at times, but a good romance, with these two gambling on love.
Book two of Gambling with Love series. Captivating storyline. Great characters. I mean come on the stripper and the cop. What’s not to love. And I did love Jessica and Tyler. I had missed this one in series. So glad had chance to go back and get it. So worth it!!!!

This is not your average fluff bit of romance. ALL IN: BETTING ON A FULL HOUSE has substance, heart, a plethora of emotions all while dealing with some heavy topics from flawed characters that are so relatable. Have you read the teaser? Yes, it gives you all the facts, but what it can’t tell you is what an amazing rollercoaster ride you will be on with these Jess & Tyler. One minute crying, then angry, then tears, then laughing at their antics. This is what makes a romance sustainable. The human element with all it’s flaws and insecurities, fighting against the odds for what they believe. But is it the same as what YOU believe? Maybe, maybe not. But these characters have grit. Combine all this and you have a terrific read well worth the 5 star review and recommendation.

Betting on a Full House was a well written book it has drama, romance suspense with a some steam. The characters are very intriguing maybe a bit on the broken side but extremely interesting. It is a book with a good storyline. This was a story that will definitely keep you hooked. I found this to be a really enjoyable read and I recommend it. This may have some subject matter that may not be for everyone. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is a good story of two people who are at a low point and need each other, even if they don’t realize it.
Jess has to have a job she doesn’t necessarily want to provide for her and her brother. Stripping makes her good money. And after a wild night with Tyler she doesn’t mind being a diversion for him. Tyler is a hot cop but he’s also getting over his girlfriend picking his best friend over him. It was a tangled mess but Lauren has to make a choice it just wasn’t Tyler. This book is fantastic. Lane is one of my my favorite authors . I ran the gamut of emotions reading this book and that is what makes her one of the best. Lots of hot steamy love but there’s sadness and heartache. Read it you’ll love it!

I have enjoyed other books by this author so was looking forward to reading this story. However, I couldn’t connect with the characters. I felt there wasn’t an emotional connection between Jessica and Tyler. Granted Tyler hooked up with Jessica in the beginning to forget a former girlfriend, but even though there were lots of sexy times, there didn’t seem to be any feelings, other than lust, until MUCH later in the book. I liked the characters themselves, but their relationship, not so much.
