Like, I almost want to ship them together. But if I’m being honest with myself, I enjoyed those steamy scenes more than any of the others. There is also a student teacher relationship in this book, and I know that’s not for everyone. I honestly think I would have enjoyed this book ten times more if it wasn’t included, especially just for a revenge plot line and then a protector plot line), sexual harassment, unwanted touching, a lot of negativity towards prostitutes and sex workers, slut shaming, grey area cheating, stalking, talk of murder, death, torture, violence, abduction, kidnapping, talk of alcoholism, gambling, brief mention of animal death, and a gross male toxicity. Trigger and content warnings for rape and talk of past rape (and the talk of rape is done really bad in this book. Especially since these two fall in love in like a week. And when this mystery man finds out about Bell, he will do anything to ensure that Dario and Bell can never be together. And then, he makes it his life mission to be pursue her, no matter what she has to say about it.Įven though Dario is a very powerful man, he is being watched by an even more powerful man. But he does some rather suspicious (and gross) things to ensure that she’s a girl he could be with. Which would be fine, because she can’t stop thinking about him either. And after that one night, he cannot stop thinking about her. He married a woman with a very powerful father, and with that initial boost in privilege, he created an empire.ĭario, following a new business endeavor, walks into Bell’s casino one night. He literally started from the bottom and rose himself up the ranks. In this casino, the rich Vegas casino and business owners can gamble in private, without having to worry about giving money to any of their competitors.Īnd Dario Capece is the proclaimed “King of Vegas” by everyone that Bell knows. This is a story about a girl named Bell, who works as a cocktail waitress for a very peculiar casino that her two good friends own and run. If you want to pick up something by Alessandra Torre, I completely recommend The Girl in 6E, Love, Chloe, Sex Love Repeat, and Moonshot over Even Money.
But the insta-love, the improbability, and the sex work and slut shaming just completely ruined it for me. One of my favorite romance writers, a steamy story in my city? Lord, I was supposed to love this. “I’d always been a gambler, with my money, my time, my safety … but never my heart.”
