Review
--a great read - lots of romance and suspense, set in the exciting background of Las Vegas and the casinos. I would highly recommend it to any romance reader!- - Bobbe Batterton, Amazon.com -Tough, gritty, raw and vivid, it paints in harsh colors and discordant images the world of Las Vegas with contrasts of luxury and seediness, the hookers, high rollers and all the invisible people who work behind the scenes of the action. It reads more like a mainstream literary novel than genre fiction. The happy ending is iffy and although the sex is hot, the emotional aspects are played very subtly- a fascinating read.- - Coffee Time Romance --near perfection with its no holds barred sex scenes, emotional roller coaster plots and action packed Vegas settings. The characters are perfectly flawed and deliciously human while the ever-hopping drama filled moments of Sin City surrounds and almost drowns them. This is certainly an adult novel and will likely be passed from girlfriend to girlfriend if readers are even willing to part with it. Like a trip to Vegas, hot and exciting, you will want to return again and again.- - Heather Froeschl for www.BookReviews.com

Steamy Suspense,
By C. Hernandez (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 24/7 (Paperback)
24/7 is the story of a card counting gambler named Marina and sexy dealer, Miguel. Marina is a young woman who believes that she is unworthy of being loved, and is on a quest to find Mr. Right in the gambling center of the universe, Las Vegas. This rollercoaster ride is filled with white hot sex and gripping suspense. It is filled with interesting characters whose lives intertwine to provide a first hand look into the life of a casino, complete with prostitutes and other seedy individuals. Not only is it a page turner, but I found myself wanting more, long after it was over. Marina and Miguel make a sizzling couple and their sizzling car accident scene as well as their elevator ride will leave you breathless. If you have ever wondered what true Las Vegas is like, you'll find it all in this novel. From beginning to end, you're in for the ride of your life!

Playing for keeps in "24/7",
By
This review is from: 24/7 (Paperback)
Martina Martino has gambling in her blood and a career that allows her to indulge in the game. She's smart and careful as to how she goes about her gambling sideline and is acutely aware of how their system and hers works. Win just enough to stay ahead overall but not enough to draw unwarranted attention from casino staff. Spread the damage around each trip to Las Vegas so that her winnings don't draw too much attention at one establishment. Cash in less that the reporting requirements for the IRS as well as what the casino staff might decide on their own to report. In short, every move is thought out and always, always, keep track of the cards as she card counts at the blackjack tables.
The plan works and works well for her until she meets Miguel Rodriguez at one of the casinos. He is a card dealer and almost instantly there is chemistry been them. Not just as dealer and player, but as man and woman, and before long, she loses track of the cards. In a way, that encounter marks the beginning of her losing track of herself as he pulls her into his world where things are not at all what they seem. Miguel's charm and sex appeal hides his major problems and by being with him, the problems have becomes hers as well. Now she is gambling, not just with money, but with her very life as the violence escalates. This is an enjoyable first novel that clearly reveals the author's love affair with the city of Las Vegas. The characters are richly detailed as are the settings, the gambling scenes, and everything else throughout the novel. The characters come alive for the reader over the course of this 441-page novel proving everyone has secrets-some more dangerous than others.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A crackling good read about the city that truly never sleeps,
By
This review is from: 24/7 (Paperback)
The prose style measures up every bit the novel's title: 24/7, going without stop. Susan DiPlacido's rendering of Las Vegas and the people who truly keep the place alive -- the dealers, bartenders, prostitutes, marks, and gamblers -- is completely three dimensional, utterly engaging, and always interesting. Whether you're a Vegas veteran or have only visited there through film and novels, 24/7, is a story that puts a new spin on this aging city.
Susan DiPlacido's writing is taut, vibrant, earthy, and moves at a gallop. Her descriptions of gambling at the blackjack or craps tables are lucid and vivid, and crisp with detail. Her characters are real people the reader quickly comes to identify with, dislike, dread, and root for. It's a great read from the very first page! --Matthew St. Amand - www.matthewstamand.com
