Synopsis:
The last thing veterinarian Leah Reece needs is a man in her life. They're nothing but trouble-and not even the fun kind. But when her apartment is broken into and Leah suspects Rafael, her dangerous half-brother, of foul play, she can't deny she could use a little help. She just never expected that help would come with twinkling blue eyes and a sexy smile...
All PI Austin Brook wants is to nail Rafael DeLuna, the man who framed him for murder. He'll do anything for information-even lie about his identity to charm Leah, DeLuna's half-sister. But her sweet dimples and fiery spirit soon make her more than just his only lead. Leah becomes his every desire. As Austin closes in on DeLuna, it's clear he won't go down without a fight. Now the only way Austin can protect Leah is to reveal all of his secrets and risk losing her for good.
Review:
Texas Hold 'Em is the third (and final)
book in the Hotter In Texas series by Christie Craig. This book
features the third member of the PI business, Austin Brook. Austin
and his PI buddies have been working to get their hands on Rafael –
the man who framed them for murder and put them behind bars. Austin
isn't a very patient man, and he's a little reckless, so he's willing
to do whatever it takes to catch their enemy.
Austin moves into an apartment building
– right next to Rafael's half sister – in order to get
information on where Rafael might be hiding. Austin just didn't
expect to be so attracted to her. Leah is a veterinarian who isn't
interested in having a man in her life. After having her husband
cheat on her, she is convinced that men can't be trusted.
Austin is handsome and cocky – he
isn't used to having to chase after a woman. He's used to women
falling for his natural charm. Leah proves to be more difficult than
he ever imagined. She has built her walls so high that no man can
tear them down. After time, Austin finally gets Leah to trust him but
he starts to fall for her in the process. He feels guilty for all he
has done to deceive her.
I love the storyline about Austin being
terrified of cats, and Leah having 4. This brings a lot of
entertainment to the book. There were some steamy scenes, but it took
a long time to get there. The book focused a lot on the
action/suspense part of the story. Austin was a really likable
character. Leah was a little harder to like but she wasn't so bad. I
almost enjoyed the secondary romance more – between Roberto and
Sara. It was more emotion filled.
This book wrapped up the series well. I
love the humor in Christie Craig's books. I recommend this series to
anyone who enjoys contemporary romance with some added humor.
