Deuces Wild is the third book in the Gemini Project series. Although this book is part of a series, it can be read without reading the other two books. As a fan of the Grizzly Cove series, I really enjoyed seeing Maya having her own story. Deuces Wild takes place at a high stakes poker tournament for the rich and elite. In her role as a bodyguard, Maya has the opportunity to meet Marlon and Jeff who happen to be at the tournament with their own agenda. When they meet the sparks fly.
This is a good story with a triad relationship. I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Maya, Jeff, and Marlon but it did feel rushed at points. Many characters from D’Arc’s previous series have appearances in this book. To someone who has read the other books, this is a treat to see how the characters are doing but to someone who has not read the books it was a little overwhelming with backstories. Overall, I enjoyed the book and I do want to read the other books in the different series.
Know when to hold them
Oh wow! This series keeps getting better and better. The author really did a fantastic job of bringing the series into the fold of her other books when she penned this one. It’s a veritable who’s who of Tales of the Were characters and the action is over the top exciting. I love how these three were already connecting on an emotional level before the danger began. It made the transition into The Know smooth and seemless. I really can’t wait to read how the author intends to continue the integration of this unit into the wild world of the Tales of the Were and what other talents the characters pick up along the way. This book is one you are not going to want to miss.
I’ve alway like the Gemini series and this book didn’t disappoint. Maya, Jeff and Marlon all have their own agenda at this big poker tournament where they have to eventually all work together to defeat the evil that attacks, but the bad guys are in for a big surprise when we get to see some of our favorite characters from other series join in the fight. Great story!
great read, great series
I am so excited to have this new book in the Tales of the Were that continues story arcs from other series from this author. For those of us that have read the other series it is a family reunion. For those that have not, it is a great introduction and gives a glimpse into other series by this author. Amazing book, can’t wait for the next one!!

Fast paced and steamy, action romance with some appearance from other series.
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
This was a great book !
Jeff + Marlon were undercover agents in the poker tournament.
There might be criminal activities on this tournament.
Because of their hidden talent, they were perfect for this job.
Maya was at the same tournament as a bodyguard for one of the players.
What are the chances that she would meet her mates on this tournament ?
When danger comes, they will have to work together to save the day.
Loved the characters + the storytelling !
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
( Romance, action, danger, etc … )
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
Maya is taking a job that allows her to leave town for a minute. All the ratings have highlighted her lack. She never expected date to hand not one but two mates. Can she convince the humans in her midst to try her on for size?
I really enjoyed meeting Jeff and Marlon. I loved that they were entranced by Maya. Especially as Maya didn’t see herself as all that special. Seeing Ms. D’Arc give Maya two men who saw her beauty was wonderful to see. I loved seeing Marlon and Jeff roll with the punches when danger arrived in unexpected ways on their latest op. But will they trust in the new reality before them?
I loved seeing Ms. D’Arc pull together this world into her overriding arc. It is seamless even as she allows Maya an opportunity to find her happily ever after. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and look forward to where Ms. D’Arc will take us next.
