I loved the descriptive setting in the Las Vegas casinos, and Torre did a fantastic job submerging me into the casino lifestyle. But as always, I know that I can count on Alessandra Torre to deliver a unique story, and she certainly did here! Although it was a bit slow at the start, I ended up loving the way she revealed the storyline, and once it got going, it was very suspenseful and kept me on my toes. I actually started this last year when Torre released some of it (or maybe all?) on the Radish App, but I didn’t get too far into it due to my ‘squirrel’ syndrome and unlocking the weekly increments. This really is one of those stories where I don’t want to give too much away. I really felt that they established a solid understanding and respect for each other, and I loved how Bell gave Dario a run for his money when it came to his controlling nature!
There was definitely an instant draw and spark between them, which followed with some sizzling chemistry and passion, but there was more depth that Dario and Bell shared with their backgrounds and where they had come from. Initially, I didn’t really see Dario as a good hero for Bell and felt their being together was too controversial, but as their relationship evolved, it was hard not to see how well they fit together. I understood and sympathized with his conflicted feelings and saw that underneath his intimidating façade was actually a protective, sweet, and caring man. However, as his complex character and past were revealed, my thoughts changed. As a powerful and wealthy man ruling over his Las Vegas casino empire, he seemed arrogant and overbearing, and I didn’t feel that I was going to like him. I really felt for Bell’s character and admired her bravado to move forward and not let anything get in the path of what she wanted in her life.ĭario’s character actually surprised me. A tragedy in her past once left her helpless, and she was determined to never let anyone get close enough to hurt her ever again.
I love feisty heroines, and Bell totally fit the bill. Well, leave it to Alessandra Torre to leave me rendered stunned and speechless! With its jaw-dropping ending, Even Money left me on the edge of my seat and craving more of this All In Duet! ‘e-ven mon-ey (noun) odds offering an equal chance of winning or losing, with the amount won being the same as the stake.’ The second book, Double Down, will release on June 18th or 25th. None of it stopped me from falling in love. He owned half of Vegas and had the reputation to match.
I was a cocktail waitress with a fondness for partying and meaningless sex. A connection of eyes across a room, a quickened heartbeat, and everything changes.
