The sizzling-hot Caldwell Brothers series—perfect for readers of J. S. Scott and Emma Chase—hits the Vegas strip as a bad-boy gambler from Detroit Rock City shows a single mom what it means to play for keeps.
For Morrison Caldwell, life is a game of chance. A high roller with a legendary poker face, he’s the wild card of the family, always chasing the next thrill and never staying put for long. The one place that always lures him back is Las Vegas, with its hot tables and even hotter women. He’s perfectly content to live his life as a series of one-night stands. But when a parking lot confrontation with a cocktail waitress takes a naughty turn, she leaves Morrison aching for another round.
After a long losing streak in Sin City, Hailey Poe is ready to get lucky. A steamy tryst with a cocky, mysterious stranger is the kind of no-strings encounter she’s been craving . . . until Morrison Caldwell asks for more than she’s willing to offer. But when Hailey’s controlling, soon-to-be ex-husband tries to take her daughter away, she can’t afford to turn down a helping hand. In this winner-takes-all game, Morrison is gambling with Hailey’s life—and her heart.

Review
This is the second book in the Caldwell series.
This is the story of Morrison. I really liked all the Caldwell brothers from what i saw in book one Hendrix so i was really excited to read this.
Morrison is a player both in the Casino and out. He spends his life trying to earn enough money so he never feels second class again. He has the best clothes the best apartments and furnishings but he just seems to be bumbling along with no idea where he's going.
Hailey has had a really bad life. Daughter of a prostitute who has spent her life being held under the guard of her pimp father doesn't see any escape from her life. She is basically set up and sold on to another man who wants to control her and take away her choices. She is forced into marriage to him and has a daughter from him. When she meets Morrison she has just escaped her husband and is trying to earn the funds to pay him back for everything she has ever had off him. She owes him and he won't let her go until she has repaid in full.
I will say this book took a little getting into but i think that was because i had it in my head that he would be the total Alpha that Hendrix was. Unexpectedly he wasn't and it took a while for me to wrap my head around that. But once i got into his character i actually loved him for not being the bossy alpha he actually was (don't worry he shows it towards the end!). He knew he had to play it differently with Hailey as her whole life she had, had her choices took off her. He gave her room to make those choices and also gave her the space she needed to find out what she wanted. Although he may have pushed her in the right direction he gave her what she needed. I loved how Hailey questioned herself and sorted through things that weren't just about Morrison but herself and her life and where she wanted it to go. He was actually perfect for her and he saw that from the start. He found what he didn't realize he was looking for. A family of his own. I also loved the relationship he had with little chick and if you're a single mom like me it will give you hope that there are guys out there who will take you and your children as a package and love them too.
I was really happy to catch up with Hendrix and Livi and seeing them interact with Morrison and Hailey and making them all one big family. Livi gave Hailey some great advice. I also loved seeing Jagger and glimpses of what's to come in book 3 from him.
The only downside i felt to this book was there was a little too much inner monologue rather than conversations between the characters and i kinda feel we missed out on some things because of this. But it didn't spoil the overall enjoyment of the book and i would absolutely recommend it to anyone. It can be read as a standalone but i would recommend you read Hendrix first otherwise you will be missing out!
