Nadia Wolf has one wish: Win the World Poker Tournament and collect the one-million dollar prize. Beating Caleb, who challenges her poker career, wouldn't hurt either.

★★★★★ "The Nadia Wolf series is right up there with the Stephanie Plum series full of quirks, giggles, and a few serious mishaps." - D. Kunda, reviewer

★★★★★ "If you are looking for a funny story with some whacky characters who find themselves in a lot of strange situations, and don't mind a love triangle, it's definitely worth a read. Ahh . . . Caleb, I'll take your bets any day!" - Tara, reviewer

★★★★★ "I found I couldn't put this book down and read it under covers and in the bathroom hoping the kids would leave me alone." - Bookhimdanno, reviewer

★★★★★ "This book has a little of everything, mystery, sensuality, humor and a kick-butt heroine who makes you want to buy matching BFF bracelets & braid each other's hair." - Steph, reviewer

This book was a fast paced romp. Good characters, amusing story. A good read when you are on vacation & don’t want to get so engrossed in a deep story. Light hearted easy read.

An Adorable Girl with 9 lives, and Just Can't Seem to Get Lucky!

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2023

Just like the title says the story was hilarious. And, I don't think it was meant to be realistic, (unless, there are Millionaires who own casinos who are down to earth men), this tale was meant to be funny.

I have never laughed so hard when reading. Most of the laughter came between Nadia and her boss/landlord/friend/manager.

I had an extra treat because this young girl was NOT TSTL. She was 28, witty, snarky, had street savvy and was pretty darn smart.

The fact that she had two hunky guys pursuing her only brought more enjoyment to the story for me.

The one thing that's important to me is writing style, and I loved the author's writing.

But, I won't be continuing on with Nadia's adventures. Not because the story wasn't a fun read; I'm just not a fan of cliffhangers or clean reads.

This book has a little of everything, mystery, sensuality, humor and a kick-butt heroine who makes you want to buy matching BFF bracelets & braid each others hair. I can't decide who I want plain, snarly professional poker player Nadia to be with. The winning poker player Caleb has that elusive "something" and can raise her hackles with a look, while the sexy casino owner Grayson is sweet, protective and honest with her, at the same time making her shake with lust.

Nadia and Grayson are trying to hunt down a counterfeit money printing scheme in Grayson's casino, and Nadia seems to get herself in more trouble than usual. She moonlights at a wedding chapel where her new "manager" Frankie marries drunk couples and generally makes her do strange and ridiculous things she doesn't want to do by baiting her with money. Nadia also befriends Grayson's sweet but slightly ditzy sister in law who's tight clothes cuts off Nadia's circulation just looking at them.

Nadia is an excellent new heroine that fans of romantic suspense will root for and laugh at. And with. I can't wait to read the second in the series, High Stakes.

Mixed Feelings

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2023

I did get a few giggles and snorts from reading this story, but to be honest, things were a bit over the top, most of the time. Maybe I am just older than I realize, too. The characters are fun to read about, the plot is all over the place, and the premise is to survive long enough to get past the bad stuff. Read the book, decide for yourself.

I'm going to read the whole series!

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2015

This is a story for everyone in need of a lot of humor, witty comments and descriptions, and a delightful and suspenseful story!
Nadia Wolf is like any young lady who knows what she’s good at and takes a gamble to make a living. Nadia lives above a marriage chapel in the revered gambling city of Las Vegas. She is a poker player by day and helps a dear friend and soon to be manager, Frankie, at his chapel. I can’t forget to mention Gus, the on-a-diet-cat, which may be a tad grouchy but loving all the same.
Nadia, a beautiful and clumsy woman all in one, takes her poker seriously. She has a couple eligible bachelors interested, both rich, both handsome, and both want her for more than a turn of the cards.
Her problem is she’s attracted to both, yet doesn’t want to mix poker with relationships. Instead a deadly game with another player (poker player I mean) wants to put her underground. She needs help from more than one bachelor and a touch of flirting doesn’t hurt.
The Nadia Wolf series is right up there with the Stephanie Plum series full of quirks, giggles, and a few serious mishaps. I have hope for Nadia’s well-being and her eventual capture of that special man. I haven’t finished the series yet, but I certainly hope she’s happy at the end and encourage you to find out, too!

Funny and action packed but a bit of a cliffhanger.

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2022

Cliffhanger warning. A character (no names, I don't want to spoil) calls a 6 month break the relationship. Not so bad because the story was fun. I read the sequel which was good too but it also ends in a cliffhanger. I'm not going to try the 3rd in the series.

wacky and entertaining, keep me engaged to the end

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2021

and I would probably be interested in the next book. Better written than most, good characterizations, multi layered. This book described a whole world about which I knew nothing (professional gambling and casinos), but unfortunately I have zero interest in the topic. Still, I learned a little, and enjoyed the protagonist very much.

Action P acked

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 7, 2023

I really enjoyed this fast action delightful book. Although there are a very few grammatical errors the storyline with its twists and turn encompasses a wealth of intrigue and has exciting aspects. I don't know if anything similar has been written for tv or film, but if not, then this would make a great film.

Fast paced who-done-it.

Reviewed in Canada on September 3, 2013

Pros: Loved the book and could not put it down until I finished. Nadia is clumsy, charming, feisty and resourceful, and her ordeal very interesting. The book is full of humour, turmoil, and twists and turns; enough to keep you reading to the end. The cliff-hanger at the end is decent as you are not left with that many unfinished scenarios. I am looking forward to the next adventures of Nadia.
Cons: The book needs proofing and editing. Most of the pronouns, such as, "anything" were written separately as in "any thing." It was very distracting and interfered with the flow of reading. Hopefully, this can be addressed soon as Nicolette Pierce is definitely a good writer.

I'm hooked!

Reviewed in Germany on September 18, 2014

I loved the book! I often struggle with first person narrators, but Nadia is so likable and realistic that the perspective worked perfect.
Nadia is smart and strong whithout being exaggerated Wonderwoman, she has flaws and makes mistakes without being dump. And she is no push-over with all the hot guys arround.
I'm pretty sure she could be a cousin of Janet Evanovichs Stefani Plum.
The storyline keeps you reading, the perfect mix of anticipation and surprise.
So fans of well written mystery/comedy/romance: here's your next fix! Just be aware that the end of this book leads directly to the next one ;)

Enjoyed the book enough to download the second book as soon as I finished the first. It has an unusual career for the main character. Pleasant change. I would recommend this read.
