Wild Aces by Marni Mann – a Review

Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo

DESCRIPTION
Trapper Montgomery
His darkness drew me in. 
A mystery with a past I wanted to solve. 
He was cold, like ice, but set me on fire.
A heat I hadn’t felt in ages.
But when I saw his face, I burned…
In mourning
Again.

Brea Bradley
She melted from my voice–shuddered from my touch.
But trembled from the memories
That my face brought back.
She wanted more…
Maybe even him.
I wasn’t the hand she counted on.
But I was what she was dealt…
A Wild Ace with no way to win. 

REVIEW

5 out of 5 for this reader folks!

OMG Marni Mann!  LOVED THIS!  I thought Derek was hot .. but Trapper .. OH MY!  LOL

Wild Aces by Marni Mann is a spin off of her Unblocked series.  It centers around Brea (Frankie’s friend) and Trapper.  I absolutely loved Derek and Frankie together so I knew that if Marni gave Brea and Trapper half of that kind of of chemistry, then I would be happy!  Well it was a heck of a lot more than half and I now have a new book boyfriend!  LOL

Brea is now partner to Frankie in the real estate world and seems to have taken on the attitude that life is all about all work.  It’s all she does.  Her BFF Frankie has fallen in love and is living the life that captures the best of both worlds, and Brea is envious and starting to think she needs this as well.  As much as she loves her work, she feels something missing and is restless because of it.

Trapper is a professional poker player, straight up hard ass and smexy as all hell and has some serious demons.  He is a dirty talker, makes no apology for who he is and as it turns out, he is quite taken with this mysterious woman he has met at Derek and Frankie’s masquerade party.

The chemistry is off the charts where Trapper and Brea are concerned, and while the masks remained on during their encounter it didn’t really matter.  As Trapper had to head out to Las Vegas right after the party, the encounters continued via technology but still without revealing their faces.  When the real “stripped of mystery encounter” happens .. OMG .. well done Marni is all I have to say!  LOL

This story is told from both Trapper and Brea, which I personally love as you get to peek inside both their minds.  Both are dealing with some serious  &^^&% personally, but when they are together it’s like they are given permission to heal.  I am sure you gather that they are off the charts sexy and let me tell you, Marni has a serious talent for build up lusty moments and then delivering the big bang.  LMAO!  I especially loved the snippets of Derek and Frankie that we get as well, and while I highly recommend that you read the Unblocked series, to enjoy this book you do not need to.  I happen to love that I got some personal jokes and meanings though because I had read the Unblocked series .. depends on what you like!

So Marni Mann was bumped on my “must read” list a while back and this only solidifies why.  Serious, concrete all around amazing story, that is full of all I covet in my contemporary erotic reading.  Page turning, captivating and “I just melted in a serious puddle because that was fricken hot”, I highly recommend this author and this book!

HAPPY READING! 🙂
