    Synopsis

    High roller Skye McNally can't seem to go straight. She wants a thirty-day coin from her Gamblers Anonymous group, but the odds have always been against her. Her father is one of New York's biggest bookies and she's spent most of her life betting the over-under, and learning how to double-down.

    Vegas may not be the best place for a gambling addict trying to make sense of her life — so Skye escapes to the Nevada desert. There, she has a chance encounter with Mark Shannon, a star quarterback who's made headlines by disappearing weeks before the Super Bowl. For the first time in her life, Skye discovers that there are some things more intoxicating than the rush of numbers.

    But the people invested in Mark's career aren't about to lose their golden boy to a bookie's daughter with a checkered past — and they're willing to play hardball. But don't bet against Skye. She's always been a woman who knows how to play the long odds . . . and win.

    11/20/2005: An exciting and entertaining story about winning and losing with gambling and love. Well written, one of those few books you pick up and don't want to put back down until you get to the end. I look forward to Tess Hudsons next novel.

    08/16/2005: Skye McNally's addiction to gambling was inevitable, somewhat. Being the daughter of a bookie and a resident of Vegas stacks the deck against her. No matter how hard she tries, she just can't seem to break free, until on her way back to Vegas after a visit home, she has a chance encounter with an on the lam football player. She and Mark find themselves falling in love, and better yet, she loses all need to gamble. Yet, love is the biggest gamble of all, and when her past comes to light, Skye may have to lose to save the man she loves more than blackjack from scandal. ................... *** This compelling drama flies by quickly. Skye is an empathetic heroine. Though it is unlikely that many of us share her problem, most of us do have some issue that dominates our lives, and her finding freedom gives everyone hope. Tess Hudson's writing has more of an edge than Susan E Phillips, but there is a similiar feeling to the writing. So, if you enjoy the Stars, you may like this as well. ***
