 I loved Emery Lee’s debut The Highest Stakes so I had to get her latest novel Fortune’s Son next.   Emery Lee continues the tale of my favorite gambler Philip Drake - who I loved from the first book. I had to know what happened to him.


Plus Lisa Renee Jones 2nd book in the Zodius Series.

I loved her The Legend of Michael and had to continue my journey with The Storm that is Silver
