Texas Hold ‘Em is the first in an ongoing series called
Smokin’ ACES. We begin with the team leader, Timothy Santos’s story. He has
come back home in undercover operation to bring down a Mexican cartel drug lord
as well as find out what happened to his informant who was on the inside. He
stumbles on to is former lover, the sheriff of the town, Rose Renwick, pinned
down by gunfire in a remote location. He tries to explain what is going on, but
Rose isn’t believing him.
Rose Renwick feels her former lover only cares about one
thing, catching the bad guy by any means possible. When she discovers he is
using her black sheep mother, things go from the frying pan in to the fire. The
trail leads over the border to Mexico where Rose discovers her mother and his
informant are one and the same.
I have to say, I’m not sure I would have given Timothy
nearly as much trust as Rose does, even hesitatingly. For a while his lies to
her were compounding and I was doubting they would get together but the author
managed to believably bring Timothy around to some self-discovery. Texas Hold ‘Em
is heavier on the suspense side than the romance side, but that’s the way I
like it. I enjoy a lot of action in my romantic suspenses. I eagerly look
forward to the sequel, Follow the Cowboy coming in November.
