Jack Stapleton and his friends rule Las Vegas. They’ve got
more money than they know what to do with, and Jack can have any woman he wants—except
Ellie.
JACK
Rejection. That’s what I get for trying to save a girl who
obviously doesn’t want saving.
Paying off her father’s debt so she can stop taking off her
clothes for other people? That was a no brainer. Obviously, I hoped she’d fall
victim to my irresistible charm. My selflessness.
But no.
I’ve offended her independent spirit, and instead of falling
for me, she’s doing everything she can to avoid me. I should forget all about
Ellie Masters, but I’m a sucker for her sassy smile and that fiery, luscious
mouth.
I’m more than willing to take a gamble on this girl, but
she’s made it clear I’m going to need more than luck to win her heart.
ELLIE
My momma raised me to believe that I don’t need a man.
Except, apparently, I do.
And now that I owe a debt to a billionaire, I feel sick to
my stomach.
It’s not like I’ll ever be able to pay him back.
The man is richer than God, and hotter than the Devil. When
he’s next to me, I just about melt.
The last thing I want is to fall for a man like that.
The problem is, I think I already have…
Louise's Review
Jack is the first book in the new Vegas Kings series, James is a new to me author and had all the feels.
Ellie has been through hell and now adding her fathers’ past worries to her list is not something she planned. Meeting Jack wasn’t planned and it did not go smoothly that’s for sure, especially considering the circumstances. Jack didn’t hide his status but he didn’t advertise it either and I that gives him the means to be Mr Fix it then he just might.
I personally enjoyed this story, Jack and Ellie had personality and chemistry from the beginning; the minor characters were on point and I cant wait to read their stories.

EXCERPT:
“Wait, please!” a feminine voice calls out as the doors
begin to close.
I put my hand out, triggering the sensor, and they
burst open to reveal a woman standing there. She isn’t just any woman, though.
With long dark hair that hangs loosely around her shoulders and impossibly long
legs that spill out from beneath the short white jacket she’s wearing, she’s
quite possibly the most stunning woman I’ve ever seen. Her icy blue eyes
flicker up and meet mine as she steps into the elevator.
“Thanks,” she murmurs, giving me a tight smile.
“What floor?” I ask.
“Top,” she replies, avoiding any further eye contact.
Amused, I press the button for the top floor again. That can
only mean one thing—Ace ignored Asher’s request about the strippers. No doubt
he’ll try to pin it on me.
“Fuck. I can't do this.”
I glance at the woman in surprise.
I’m no expert when it comes to female emotions and shit, but she looks like
she’s about to either burst into tears or start punching the elevator wall.
Either way, something is obviously bothering her.
“Are you okay?” I ask.
Her head snaps up, and she looks at me like she forgot I was
there. A faint glow of pink spreads across her cheeks as she quickly nods, then
shakes her head.
“This is so not me,” she mutters, releasing a harsh laugh.
“I tried, but I can’t do it.”
“Do you want to talk about it?” I offer. “I can be a pretty
good listener.”
That part is a lie. Piper’s always telling me I can’t listen
for shit, but honestly, I’m not sure what else to say to this girl.
“What the hell is talking going to do?” she snaps. “I’m
sorry, I just…” She sighs. “No. There’s no way I’ll be able to go through with
this.”
“Then don’t.”
If she is part of the entertainment that Ace hired—though
she really doesn’t strike me as the type—I’m worried someone is making her do
something she doesn’t want to do.
“It’s not that simple.” She mumbles so softly that I’m
pretty sure she didn’t mean for me to hear it. “I need the money.”
“There are other ways to make money.”
“Only a rich person would say that with such ignorance,” she
replies, her lips twitching.
Burn.
But at least I got her to almost smile.
