Customer Reviews

Romance is Good for You

I enjoy Cynthia Thomason's "Texas Hold'em" series. Few people know that Cynthia's husband is a great gambling writer. When it comes to those two the question is, "For love or money?"

I want to be dealt in!

This reader has been a fan of the Texas Hold 'Em series by Harlequin since the beginning and each installment just gets better! January's offering DEAL ME IN brings a fresh face to the table of poker and gives her a lesson not only on cards, but on love. Molly may not know anything about poker or about men, but she catches on fast and finds herself in a win-win situation. This novel left this reader smiling and waiting for more from the SuperRomance authors who gives readers more about the Texas Hold 'Em "Wild Bunch" crew. This book deserves five stars for giving a new dimension to the Poker Crowd!

interesting contemporary romance

While checking out horses in Prairie Bend, Texas former pro-football player Brady Carrick bets his rancher father Marshall and a friend horse trainer Trevor Dobbs that he can teach any novice to win at poker. His dad selects Cliff's Diner waitress Molly Davis as Brady's student. To win he has to make her competitive at an upcoming poker tournament in which she must reach the final table. Widow and mother Molly hides her connection to her instructor from him. She holds him partially culpable for the death of her husband. Molly agreed to be his pupil because she desperately needs money for her and her son Sam to start anew. Neither she nor Brady expected a full house would lead to love. Using poker as a matchmaking device, Cynthia Thomason provides an interesting contemporary romance between two likable individuals who call each other's bluff as both are wary to gamble with their respective heart. The support cast is solid at the tables and the stables although preadolescent Sam is too precocious even if he chooses an Xbox over a college trust fund. Still fans will enjoy this fun Texas Hold Em romance. Harriet Klausner
