Playing for Keeps

Honky Tonk Angels, Book 5

By: Ciana Stone

Narrated by: J. Scott Bennett

Things have gotten downright smoldering in Cotton Creek. The oil boom has the town bursting at the seams, and has Cody and Hannah run ragged with the bar being packed every night. Leave it to their mama to come up with a solution.

Stella talks to her sister, who, in turn, manipulates her son, Cade to go to Cotton Creek and help his cousins out. After all, he has nothing really on his plate. He just sold a casino in Atlantic City and has no idea what he wants to do next.

Cade isn't keen on the idea, but his mother traps him with the old "family helps family" thing so to Cotton Creek he goes. What were the odds that a month after he arrives, Roxie Ellis' 1957 T-bird would break down just outside of Cotton Creek and she'd be needing a job to make enough to effect repairs?

Gambler's luck? Maybe. Whatever the case, sparks fly at first glance and before you can call red on a roulette wheel, Cade and Roxie are neck deep in what is surely the most erotic bet of their lives.

The problem is, the bet becomes a whole lot more serious than either of them plan and soon Cade is Playing for Keeps.

This book has a variety of things, from the old biddy town gossips, to small misunderstanding, family support, and relationship woes and triumphs, throw in a little gambling both on love, money, and some sexy times and you have one hell of an entertaining story. Definitely a recommend. I obtained this copy for free from audiobook boom for my unbiased review.

Gotta love those cowboys!

first, that cover is very sexy! 2nd J. Scott Bennet sounds amazing. 3rd, although there were more than one couple falling for each other and it got a little confusing I still enjoyed it. I thought it was funny and sexy and I have realized I really want a cowboy!

This Series Just Keeps Getting Better & Better!

Any additional comments?

I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review. The writing is so good it draws you in to the characters and their world and you just want more. The narrator is so good at bringing these characters and their story to life that it keeps you wanting more. The story development just keeps getting better and better that I am totally hooked and can't wait for the last book to be released to audio. This story can be read as a standalone with the back stories mentioned enough that you don't feel lost, but if you do start with this book I highly recommend that you go back and read/listen to the rest because they are so good. I highly recommend this book and series.
