Spades: Aces Underground One

By: Helen Hardt

Narrated by: Zachary White, Laura Sandes

Tumble down the rabbit hole…

Alissa Maravilla has spent her life playing it safe. She gave up her dream of being a professional musician for the steady, predictable world of nursing at a Chicago hospital. No risks. No chaos. Just straight lines and sensible choices.

Until she meets Maddox Hathaway.

The moment Alissa steps into his enigmatic haberdashery, she feels the shift—his piercing gaze, his effortless charm, his debonair style. Maddox is temptation wrapped in silk and sin, and when he invites her into his world, she can’t resist.

Aces Underground isn’t just a private club. It’s a descent into desire—a place where inhibitions shatter and the air hums with tempting possibilities. With Maddox, Alissa discovers a darker, more intoxicating side of herself—and she’s ready for more.

But beneath the seductive allure, Aces Underground has secrets. Secrets that whisper of danger. Secrets that could consume them both.

And Alissa is about to find out just how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Slow, repetitive and boring

Didn’t end up caring about any of the characters. Normally enjoy this author but this one is a miss.

Overall disappointing

The characters are ridiculous, Alyssa is flighty. Anything to do with her nursing career is absolutely inaccurate.
I normally enjoy Helen Hardt, but this is a miss.
