Casting the Dice
Casting the Dice, by Sue Ward Drake, is the 2nd book in the Big Easy Brothers Series. The brothers are bounty hunters.
The author pulls you into the story on page one, and it’s a thrill ride from there on.

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 written characters as well, and I found I wanted to know more about them. Maybe in the next book?
I recieved an advance reader copy of this book. The review and thoughts are my own.
CASTING THE DICE is a wonderful addition to this series and I highly recommend it.
