#1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Nora Roberts enchants again with this beloved classic about the passionate and headstrong MacGregor family.

Serena MacGregor had been looking for a little independence and some much-needed adventure, but Justin Blade was not what she had in mind. The stakes were high, and Justin was betting on changing Serena's mind about him. But when this fiery heiress upped the ante on the cool Comanche gambler, steamy didn't begin to describe the results....

I have not checked the publication date but this reads like an early effort. I bought the second book in the toes and hope it is better crafted..

The writer & narrator pull you immediately into the lives of Serena & Justin. The chemistry between them lights up the story and the auxiliary characters are so on point that I can’t wait to listen to their stories.

Perfect all the way through

Would you consider the audio edition of Playing the Odds to be better than the print version?
I love the printed version, but the audio is so much better!

Who was your favorite character and why?
Justin and the MacGregor. Justin as he is both masculine and sexy with a touch of tender.
The MacGregor, the old goat as he makes all his demands via his wife Anna

Have you listened to any of Angela Dawe’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I own all of this series as Ms Dawe is a fantastic job on my all time fave N.R. series. Her male voices are too die for.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Rena confronts the MacGregor and deals with his cigars. I thought you said poison??

Any additional comments?
These are simple 90's stories that make you smile and give you a warm heart. These are NOT like Ms Nora's current writing style.
