      Synopsis

      Years ago, Captain Jack Endicott's half-sister vanished after a carriage accident. He now sets out to honor his father's dying wish and find her. Jack plans to open a lavish gaming parlor and hire only beautiful ladies to deal cards, possibly finding his sister. All he needs is a little luck. Instead he finds prim schoolteacher Allie Silver, who needs a guardian for one of her most precocious pupils. With such an unlikely duo, all bets are off in a wild game of romance.

      July 18, 2006: Loved Harriet, Jack was a charming blade, Allie was a bit overshadowed, Joker was a nice addition. However, the humor, which I thoroughly enjoyed, seemed to overshadow the passion in this installment. If you are up for a romp with some dangling loose ends that never quite get tied up, then this one will be a pure pleasure. If you like a little steam in your romance, this one is pretty sparing. I actually found the 'sex' scenes incongruous in this couples' story, they seemed to fall in love through laughter, the mad passion was an after thought (when it made the odd appearance).
