A gamble worth risking

"Ian's Ultimate Gamble" is about another Westmoreland man. This time, Ian Westmoreland comes to the forefront. Ian has his own casino and there is more than clientele gambling going on when Ian takes a gamble of his own. Can Ian trust his heart and gamble on something that did not go well over four years ago? When Brooke comes back into Ian's life, his heart cannot forget his love, even though his mind wants him to forget Brooke. Can Ian go on with life and the thought that Brooke means nothing to him or will he take the ultimate gamble of allowing his love for Brooke to flourish? This is a story of love, trust, renewed heartbreak, and overwhelming doubts -- all of which love wins in the end. Another Westmoreland great story.

Ian's Ultimate Gamble

I am a big fan of Brenda Jackson,mainly because she writes books that have connecting story lines and I am a big fan of this genre. She is a great story teller and I can't wait until she her next book comes out.

Mrs. J does it again!

Ian, Ian, Iaaaaaaannn! Phew! I don't know how Mrs. J comes up with these men or how she crafts her stories but I'm so glad that she does. Also she created the perfect match to Ian in Brooke. I read this in a day and it was a very good, sweet, tender and HOT story. Also we get to check in on some of the other Westmorelands which is always great. Ok and on a side note the cover model....no words! Definite recommendation along with all of Mrs. J's other books.

Ian, Ian, Ian... What a man

Mrs Jackson, you never seem to amaze me. Every book you touch turn to gold. The Westmoreland is a wonderful, well knit family. Ian sees the woman who broke his heart, right there in his Casino looking like she owns the place. What Ian failed to realize is that Brooke already owns his heart. although he doesn't want to risk trusting Brooke with his heart again, he winds up allowing Brooke to use his priveat swimming pool which leads from one thing to another and Ian eating right out of Brooke's hand. This is a page turner from begining to end. I have read the story twice, thinking I may have missed something. (LOL)Great story, too short. All of the Westmoreland stories are great but tooooooooooo shore. Could we please add another 20-30 pages (smile). I want more.... Brenda, I know know you are tired, but a little more.... pretty please..... (smile)

My money's on Ian!

In "Ian's Ultimate Gamble" we get to know Ian Westmoreland, one of the fine, "make-you-drool" Westmoreland men, up close and personal. A former riverboat casino owner, Ian now owns a posh, luxury casino and resort. Although Ian's worked hard to make his resort the best of the best; he's worked even harder to erase the pain caused by the love of his life - Brooke Chamberlain. Since Ian left her four years ago, Brooke has maintained the façade of getting on with life. Yet, she's reminded daily that certain aspects of her life as a FBI agent, led to Ian's distrust of her and his subsequent departure. So when her boss asks her to observe Ian's operation for any illegitimate business -- she panics. The idea of spying on her one and only love isn't her idea of the perfect assignment. To make matters worse, the whole idea presents an even bigger problem for Brooke - how to resist him. This book was wonderful. Although it's a short, quick read (as are most Desire books), Ms. Jackson packs so much sensuality and passion into this book, you can't help but moan aloud. Her trademark oh-so-sexy love scenes left me breathless. It was also nice to catch up on the goings on of the other Westmoreland cousins and wives. I feel like a part of the family. Cha ching....Ms. Jackson hits the jackpot again!
