In this book, set around the Tacone family we meet Stefano and Corey. Stefano is managing the Bellissimo Casino while his brother Nico is away when Corey, who is a dealer, comes to is attention. Because she is attractive and can draw the punters he tells her that he wants her to be dealer at a special game played in one of the hotel's suites. While she is there she witnesses a murder and Stefano is then faced with the problem of whether he can trust her.This was a good story in how it developed the relationship between Stefano and Corey. The sex scenes in it didn't do much for me as I am not into spankings and mild bondage but these seem to typify this series of books.

I did enjoy this book, but lots of bits were very similar to the first one, so after a bit it felt a bit repetitive. I enjoyed the last few chapters as that good interesting but overall it was okay.Stefano is Nico’s brother who comes to help run the business so Nico can have some time off from working. Corey works at the casino as a crupier and Stefano gets her to work a private card game. Things go south and Corey witnesses a murder, to make sure she doesn’t talk Stefano sort of kidnaps her. Until he can work out if he can trust her. Stefano claims her but things get complicated when he starts to question her trustworthiness.

Stefano and Corey story is just brilliant loved reading about them.They have a few bumps along the way but will true love avail.Characters great Corey's dad omg what scum he is.Looking forward to reading the next book in this serious.

This book is about Corey, Sondra's cousin who we met in the first book and Nick's youngest brother, Stefano. It has everything with these two, passion, fire extremely hot and sexy. I found the story to be very gripping and tied up some loss ends from the first book. I definitely enjoyed it and I'm into the next book.
