CASTING THE DICE: A Big Easy Brothers romantic suspense

CASTING THE DICE, by Sue Ward Drake, is the second book in the Big Easy Brothers Series. The brothers are bounty hunters, and a tight knit family. The author pulls you into the story on page one, with an edge of your seat thrill ride. Bounty hunter Hal Guidry is after a fugitive who he believes to be at a New Orleans mansion. Instead of his skip, he finds luscious librarian Annie Swanson, and with snakes slithering around her as she lies unconscious. She is suffering from amnesia and definitely in need of protection. But what is she doing at the mansion? Annie has temporarily lost her short term memory. She knows she came to New Oreleans because she inherited a bookstore, which she intends to sell. Annie has no recollection of Hal or why she was at the mansion. When she finds out he is a bounty hunter, just like the one who killed her father, she splits. On the run Annie attracts men who try to kidnap her. She goes to Hal seeking answers. They have a rough go of it. Both our heroes have to overcome not only the mental walls they’ve erected but dangerous situations they constantly find their selves in. Learning to trust each other brings out the best in both of them. In the short time they’ve known each other these two opposites have grown close and intimate. Neither wants to lose what they have. This is an engaging, exciting and entertaining novel of love, intrigue and family. The brothers and aunt are well drawn characters as well, and I found I wanted to know more about them. Maybe in the next book? I received an advance copy of this book. The review is my own. CASTING THE DICE is a wonderful addition to this series and I highly recommend it.
