My name is Anna Dawson, and I’m a gambler. And like any gambler will tell you, sometimes that’s good, and sometimes…not so much. And sometimes it’s an outright problem.I love Vegas, and I love the life I’ve built, but when one of my friends is murdered, and another one shot at, I know I need to take a serious look at myself. And I need to call in the big guns. Even if that means teaming up with … Even if that means teaming up with Detective Jack Schiller, a man who’s battling his own demons.
Right now I’m just trying to juggle protecting my friends, helping Jack while not letting him get too close, and finding a murderer. And, oh yeah, no one can learn about my gambling.
Or this will be the last hand I’m dealt.

Characters with flaws -gambling problem and drinking problem.
Read the book in two days, couldn’t put it down. The gambling world is so not me and I was mesmerized with what probably goes on in the real world. Quite interesting.
Did not like the main character Anna. Too reckless. Even as an addict. But I finished the book I might read others in the series.
This was a fun story with a setting that was not the usual – Las Vegas. It was an interesting balance of characters and story line – gambling, romance and murder.
