While sending criminals like the man who abducted her sister away to prison, she struggles to be the best surrogate mother she can be for her nephew.

Katie and Joe’s very different worlds are about to collide. If Katie can let her guard down, and if Joe can let go of his guilty conscience, the two may finally be able to find their own happily ever after together. But that picturesque future starts to fall apart when several defendants from Katie’s past escape from prison seeking revenge on the woman who put them away.

Drama, suspense, and steamy scenes filled the pages of this book. I was intrigued by the main characters from the beginning. I thought the author did an incredible job of bringing a high level of suspense to the story while maintaining the integrity of their attraction towards each other. Great storytelling
WOW, what a way to end an amazing series! This had our mc’s coming from two diffents sides or the courtroom and somehow finding what they need in the other. There was a lot to work out and Lane did that perfectly in this story. It was scorchingly hot to read and i swear my kindle almost overheated! 😉 I can’t wait for more from Lane Hart!!
Raising her sisters son and putting away bad guys, great. Romance isn’t in the cards but Joe has other ideas, he has everything in life a bachelor could want except?
Katie and Joes path crosses heat ensues along with the notion of family, but as the action between the sheets heats up, tradgity strikes Katie again the man responsible for her sisters death is out of prison and coming after the one thing Katie won’t give up. Now its a race for Joe and Katie.

The way I see it, sex is sex, regardless of who you enjoy being with. I don’t think it necessarily means you have to be labeled a certain way for it,”
“I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book via Booksprout.” So good with plenty of intensity and steamy goodness.
I received an arc, and am voluntarily leaving this review. This was a great series. This story was just as good as the others. I really enjoy Lane Hart books. I loved these stories. I highly recommend this one.
Katie works as a prosecutor to put monster away. She doesn’t believe that she has time in her life for love. Joe is a attorney. Joe’s life is extremely complicated. Joe can’t let go of his guilty conscience. Katie can’t let her guard down. I enjoyed reading this book. I loved the storyline and plot.

In this book we meet Katie Albright and Joe Montgomery. Katie is a woman who knows all about pain. However she has turned hers into a very successful career. Both Katie and Joe are attorneys however they sit on different sides of the courtroom. If that wasn’t enough they both find the other extremely attractive. Katie knows she has enough baggage to fill a 747 and isn’t willing to let any man so far onto that plane with her. Joe is looking for the kind of love that will last the test of time. So far though all he has found is a good time. Can these two find a HEA or will outside forces make that impossible?
This is a super hot super good book. There are some smokin hot scenes. There is also a story-line that will have you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. There is so much I want to tell you about this book. But don’t want to ruin it for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
Katie has no time for a man, not between her demanding career as a lawyer and raising her nephew, Drew, who’s mom, Katie’s sister, had been abducted and killed. Joe has had a crush on Katie since they first met. His life isn’t uncomplicated either, especially his sex life and his job is highly demanding as well. They see each other at a conference and end up hooking up, though Joe is nervous about Katie knowing about his multiple partners. Will they find a way to overcome all of the obstacles life throws at them?

You do need to read every book in order in this series to understand the characters and what’s going on. Great characters and storyline that will keep you turning the pages. It does have m/m, m/f/m, m/f which can make you overheat.

All of the books in this series are great and this one is no exception. It delivers exactly what you would expect from a Lane Hart book. This one is full of hot, hot, hot steamy scenes and answer all unanswered questions from the series. There is a lot packed into this exciting conclusion.
Katie and Joe have off the charts chemistry that burns off of the pages. The biggest question is can Katie get over Joes past once she learns about it? You will have to read to find out.
Great writing, fantastic characters. Can be read as a standalone, although I suggest you read the whole series. You can’t go wrong with this one.

Tyler Evans was one of the police officers answering a call the night a woman was reported to have been heard screaming. Turned out it was Kelly Albright who had been reported missing months ago. After being led down into a dungeon, it became apparent Kelly was in labor, blood pooling on a sheet she was laid on, and the chain that was bolted to the floor had recently been removed from her ankle. Right before the paramedics arrived, Kelly told the office what to name the baby if it were a boy or girl and to please tell her sister, she forgave him.
Katie is Kelly’s sister. She’s raising Drew, her nephew, as a single mother while working as a prosecutor. She’s determined to send criminals, like the man who abducted her sister, to prison so they can’t hurt anyone else. She doesn’t have time to play outside the office. Too many long hours and work and too much responsibility at home.
Lane Hart has taken what, unfortunately, could be an actual set of circumstances and brought a small silver lining as we watch these characters go through a gamut of emotions bringing us right along with them. This is definitely not one to miss.

This entire series to really understand you need to read every single book, so when you think all in the family, boy oh boy it is definitely intriguing and steamy. The last book of the series, and when you just hope for that HEA and bite nails thinking it just might happen and then…… a very satisfying Ah at the end. I voluntarily read a copy of this story and loved it.
A great book to finish off an excellent series
I’ve waited to post this this review because this book # 8 is the last of the series. I’m feel like I’m losing something good. This series is one of my all time favorites! I love Lane’s stories. This one is no exception, if she wanted to go out with a bang she did. This book was stupendous! Please read the other books to fully appreciate the characters. This one is about Joe. He is now a prosecuting attorney working for the DAs office and coming in close contact with another attorney Katie. Katie knows he’s been involved with Lacey but not so much now that Will and Lacey are waiting on her baby. But Lacey is still his best friend. Things with Chad are going in another direction if Joe will just accept it for what it is. Katie works hard at her job but also has the added responsibility of raising her deceased sister’s child. Her sister had a horrible pregnancy and death. But Katie does what’s best. When she and Joe get sent to a conference it brings their attraction to a head. Maybe Joe can get his happily ever after with the ones he loves. This series is one I’ll keep forever! It’s a fantastic must read!

This is the eighth book in the “Gambling With Love” series and this book was just as hot as the other seven in this series! The storyline was well written, the plot flowed smoothly from page to page and the characters were strongly written which kept my attention throughout the entire book! This is one series that is well worth the read!
