DeclanI have a big appetite for beautiful things—art, jewels, stuff like that. Even when they belong to someone else. I call it “reappropriating ill-gotten wealth.” The FBI calls it stealing. They don’t seem to care that I only take stuff from douchebags. Or that I give most of it away. But I’m going straight now. I got a huge reduction on my sentence for helping the feds with some high-profile … high-profile cases. I just have to toe the line for a couple of years and I’m scott free.
Then I sit down at a poker table across from her…
Olivia
I’ve always been drawn to men with big decks. Especially when they know how to use them. Yes, I’m talking about poker. I grew up in Vegas and I have a little, um, problem. Gambling is my kryptonite. I went cold turkey and got out of Sin City seven years ago, but now I’m in town because my mom’s ex-husband stole a painting from her. I’m going to get it back and I have the perfect plan. Until I take an especially risky gamble. And lose. Now I owe Declan Black and he wants…me.
Fate has just dealt me a very interesting hand.

Great characters that will keep your interest extremely well.
The chemistry, sweetness, and twists in plot kept things interesting.
Add in a wee bit of drama and you have a good read.

Declan is a thief. He received a huge reduction on his sentence for helping the feds. He is playing poker and so is Olivia. He knows she is cheating, but then again so is he. The attraction is immediate . She is in town to steal back her mother’s painting from a man who happens to be the Feds target. Now he needs to stop her in order to keep the sting in place, but then how is he going to keep her.
This is a contemporary erotic romance comedy featuring two very smart and sexy characters. The characters are well defined complete with strengths and weakness and are both charismatic. They draw you into the story and you want to see how it turns out. The chemistry between them is intense and the sex scenes are integrated very nicely into the storyline. The narrative is wonderful providing humour and letting us know the characters better through their emotions, backgrounds and motivations. The dialogue is witty and sometimes sarcastic giving the book a fresh crisp felling. The characters are well matched in terms of strength and determination. The storyline flows smoothly and fast, filled with touching romantic moments, steamy sexual experiences, fun action scenes, danger and suspense. I thought the book was well written and would recommend it to those who enjoy romantic comedies with heat.

Olivia wants revenge and a painting that meant a lot to her mother. One night gambling turns into the most exciting night of her life.
Deck needs to burn off some steam being cheated at the card table has peaked his interest this woman is sexy and intriguing. He turns it into an all night affair.
Hot and fast read. Drama, steam, action galore. Love this series. The author puts so much in short a short story. Five stars.

Big Deck……….Just the right size!!!
As Big Deck is the first book I have read by Blake Wilder I was not sure what to expect, especially since this is supposed to be a romantic comedy. After all one persons funny can be another persons humorless. So color me grateful with Big Deck the story struck a good balance and was witty with more than a few laughs. So be warned that if you read this you should be in a place where people will not look at you strange as you burst out unexpectedly with a peel of laughter. The other thing this book has going for it, which was a very nice surprise, is that it has some nice dirty sexy to the story.
I enjoyed this fast-paced, light, funny and quick novella with wonderful characters. There is not a lot of depth but then again you don’t need it here. A definite book recommendation!!!
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This was a great book, a really enjoyable read. It was quite intense at times and had me on the edge of my seat. It was a page turner that I couldn’t put down. Some scenes were hot and steamy and it finished with a HEA.

Olivia and Declan meet playing cards. They both figured out the other one is cheating. This makes for an interesting attraction to begin and get stronger. Their chemistry is combustible. A steamy fast read! Loved it!

Big Deck (Size Matters) by Blake Wilder. I really liked Dec and Olivia- I thought the chemistry and banter between the two was intense and I found it enjoyable.

Great thiefs’s story quite unexpectable
I loved the first chapter, the characters of Olivia and Declan. The story is very hot, the heroes discovering under the cover of apprenticeships to steal a work of art. The dialogues are very well written, as well as the story.
Declan is a thief who works for the FBI, so a bad boy who has become rather a nice boy, while on the contrary, Olivia is a nice girl who wants to temporarily become bad enough to avenge her mother. They meet while she’s cheating on poker against him, which makes her indispensable to his desires

I thought this book was a very fun read. This quick read romance offers an entertaining blend of heat, heart and humor. Declan and Olivia were great characters. They had amazing chemistry, an attraction that was magnetic and in my opinion, they were quite simply a perfect pair! The romance between Declan and Olivia moves fast, but I thought that this fit with these characters personalities very well. With this book you get all the excitement of a heist combined with the thrill of a con game, liberally sprinkled with the sweetness of a swoony love story that is then rolled into one delightful steamy package that provides a perfect, light, brighten your day reading experience.
Meeting a guy who is mysterious and dangerous, and who oozes sex appeal – a girl just has to latch on and go for a ride. But like the old saying goes, it takes one to know one. Little did Declan and Olivia know they’d be part of the biggest gamble of their lives.

It takes a con to know a con…Declan gravitated towards Olivia as if a moth drawn by the flame. Olivia was on a mission of revenge little did she know Declan would hold the key to her success or failure. I was not surprised that I loved this book. The characters were great and the story line allowed for the development of the relationship.

Each of the books in this series are funnier than the last!
Olivia is a red headed bombshell, card cheat, and security marketing specialist. Declan is a “former” art thief, card cheat, and FBI consultant. They meet over a game of poker where they are both cheating and know the other is as well. They make a private wager and end up hooking up. He also teaches her some of his former occupation’s skills. She came to Vegas to steal back her Mother’s painting from the man Dec and the FBI are trying to catch. He decides to steal it for her instead. They end up falling in love and trying to keep each other out of serious trouble.

Light-hearted, fast-paced and pretty dirty, Big Deck tells the tale of two thieves who meet in Vegas and find that they have more in common than they could’ve imagined. The story follows Declan, a semi-reformed thief turned FBI consultant who meets Olivia at a poker table. They can tell that the other is cheating at the game, and that intrigues both of them. Things take a turn for the spicy when Declan takes Olivia home for the night and teaches her some tricks to being a better thief (think sneaking around in the dark, handcuffs, etc).
The story moves quickly and though it’s instalove for these two, it’s easy to see that they have a great connection. There’s not a ton of depth to the story, but if you’re looking for something fast, fun and fiesty, this is a good book to try.
