As usual, Kristen Ashley doing what she does best! Hot, sexy, dominant, protective alpha males. 5 stars for Nina and Max!This book is long. To be honest, this was a bad week for me to read it as I had lots going on outside of my 'reading world'... but it's been sitting on my Kindle for ages and I just really felt the need for a good KA hero. And despite the length of this book, it does not drag. At all! It's fast paced, action packed and I wouldn't have wanted it to be any shorter.The story isThere are already many excellent reviews of this book, so Im going to keep mine short - I kept seeing Kristen Ashleys name show up on my Goodreads friends status and review updates, so I had to see for myself what all the hoopla was about! Well, to be honest, I can't quite put my finger on it, but whatever it is about this book and this author, Im sold! The writing isnt flawless and it took me a bit to get used to the authors style, but once I did it was easy to read and I couldn't put it down.
I've never actually watched one of those Lifetime movies that are dramatic and sappy, but I imagine that this is what they are like. Along with an improbable romance, there are kidnappings, suicide attempts, bar fights, abusive men, murders, and alien babies. (okay, maybe not the alien babies. Too bad because that would have been awesome! oh, oh, how about alien twin babies and one of them is an evil twin? Yes! I love evil twins!)This book is about Nina, an American girl who has spent most of
Solid 4 starsWow! Kristen Ashley is one fantastic storyteller! I adore her charismatic characters, her intimate writing style, and her fabulous, sexy, overprotective, alpha heroes. Her heroes are truly swoonalicious!Overall, I really enjoyed The Gamble. I did feel the book was a tad long-winded and wish the hero and heroine spent more time together without the constant interruptions from the secondary characters. With that said, I still loved this story. I loved Max's and Nina's characters. I
4 Stars (Originally Read 1/2/2014) 3.5 Stars (Re-Read 2/8/2017)4 Stars (*Re-Read 3/27/2019)*Re-Read Note: This was enjoyable as another re-read. I'm in a major book funk, so this helped a little in that I knew going in that I was going to enjoy it. I liked their relationship and I liked the kookie side characters that KA always does really well. I wasn't bothered too much with the (view spoiler)[dead spouse (hide spoiler)] touchy subject, but again I did have some issues with how Max handled
Re read - love it as much as the first time.I loved Nina and Max, even with their flaws and issues. Even when they were being daft or doing something I did not agree with, it was obvious it was borne out of a sense of fear. Great cast of secondary characters (and as I thought the first time, Brody needs a story!)Great exciting plot with characters you care about. The writing gives a very real sense of what is happening, and how something is, so you have a very clear picture in your head.As usual
"You think to slide back, settle for something that made you run away because you think it's safe, because it's familiar, because you're scared of takin' a gamble on me, I'm warnin' you now, Duchess, I'm not gonna allow that." 4 Holden Maxwell Stars!Be still my heart. This book was all kinds of sweet and adorable and wonderful!The Gamble may be wordy but it was so worthy. 670+ pages and I regret nothing! Perhaps it has something to do with the way the author made me feel so ooey and gooey
