Garrett
Tucker inherits his grandfather's casino empire and steps into the reclusive
billionaire's shoes as the "Prince of Vegas." His first act is to buy
and renovate a bankrupt casino in Biloxi. When he discovers embezzling in his
new operation, Garrett goes in undercover. His number one suspect is the new
finance supervisor.
Andi Ryan moves to Biloxi to care for her godmother and takes a job as finance supervisor for the renovated Bayou Princess casino. She discovers someone is skimming from the till and starts her own investigation, worried she will be blamed for the theft when the new owner discovers her godmother has a costly gambling addiction.
Garrett’s rival Vegas competitor has sent a spy in to ruin the Bayou Princess, and Garrett and Andi are forced to work together to prove her innocence and discover the identity of their casino spy.

EXCERPT
He held up his scotch and water. “Here’s to the newest Bayou
Princess employee.”
She clinked her wine glass to his. “The two newest Bayou
Princess employees. Don’t forget you started today, too.”
“To the two newest,” he quickly amended.
Holy cow! I need to be on my toes tonight.
As she lowered her glass, he leaned in and gently brushed
his lips across hers. She froze. He pulled back no more than an inch, stared
into those wide, hypnotic-blue eyes, and pressed his lips to hers again.
Both of them holding glasses, they touched only at their
lips, a flashpoint that sent heat straight to his gut. She pressed back against
his lips, and he wanted to whoop. He traced her bottom lip with the tip of his
tongue and—Hallelujah!—she let him in. He thought of pitching his glass into
the creek, so his arms were free to wrap her up. So great had his need
skyrocketed when she timidly touched her tongue to his. Blood rushed high to
pound in his head and rushed low to pound in . . .
Lord! Tucker, get control of yourself! What the heck is
wrong with you?
He had lost control, that’s what. He never lost control. His
attraction to Andi had been instantaneous and visceral, like the feeling had
been there incubating all along. Hell, he had kissed Andi in front of a bank of
restaurant windows. An odd little tug pulled near his heart. He forced himself
to pull back and not roar his delight when she swayed toward him. Thank God,
she wasn’t ready for the kiss to be over either.

My Review
Betting on Cinderella is book two from the Cinderella Romances series. I enjoyed the story. I thought it cute with some delightful scenes, as well as, some twists that I did not see coming. The characters were fun to get to know and I enjoyed spending my time with them. I hope to catch up and read the first book of the Cinderella Romances series to find out what had happened prior.
I would recommend Betting on Cinderella for readers who are looking for a light read. I give it 4 stars.
I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100% my own honest opinion.
