Double or Nothing by Cassandra Gold

A pretty simple and smooth story.

Noah is a gambler. One year and half before he has found his way to the heart of Darren, a Vegas Casino owner. For three months they had an almost idilliac life, but when things got serious, Noah flyed away. Wasting his time in gambling and one night stands has proved to Noah that what he had with Darren is the only real and important thing, and now he is back to convice Darren to forgive him. He has only two weeks to win his last gamble and to do so he has to reveal all his hidden cards.

Darren is not willing to lose his heart another time. He is too near to forty to take risk and Noah has once betrayed him in the worst way. But even if he is a tought businessman, when faced with the younger man he seems to not have defence.

The story is not much complicated. It's enjoyable even if not too sexual: despite my feeling buying this one, it's more the tale of a tender wooing than of a seduction. Noah plans to conquer Darren not with sex but with love. So in the end it's more a romantic tale than an erotic one.

A May/December contemporary romance. And I like wooing. Sounds like my kind of read. There's 17 years between hubby and me, therefore I love these kind of romances - especially if the story deals with the generational differences. Those can be fun as I so well know.

The age difference in this case is not so wide: Darren is 39 years old and for what I understood Noah is 28 years old. And really there is not a big difference on how they act. But it's a simple and smooth story. Elisa
