About this eBook
Secrets make old lovers into enemies... Nico “Gio” Giovanni has always been the black sheep, especially since he abandoned the family business—a lucrative casino on the Las Vegas strip—to become a cop. Now his dad is sick and his sister begs him to end their estrangement before it’s too late. Chasing fugitives is what U.S. Marshal Madison Granger does best. She juggles single motherhood with her job, which sends her back to Sin City due to an unwanted relocation. Even worse, her current case lands her smack dab in the middle of the opulent Giovanni Casino—and ups her chances of running into her old flame. Gio has enough on his plate; he doesn’t need the woman that got away messing in his family’s affairs. His father has never been involved with organized crime, no matter the gossip. Maddie is petrified he’ll discover her secret. Gio won’t let his dad go down for something he didn’t do. When they take the gamble, the cards are laid on the table and all bets are off.

King Of Hearts is the first book in The Giovanni series. Las Vegas Detective Nico "Gio" Giovanni and US Marshal Madison "Maddie" Granger are well-developed characters that have amazing chemistry and a past romance. The storyline is well written with tension, family, money laundering, secrets, and romance. I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.

King Of Hearts is a spectacular romantic suspense by C.A. Szarek. Ms. Szarek has provided readers with a well-written book loaded with a phenomenal cast of characters. Pssst...the characters are my favorite part of the book, they're that good. Maddie is a single mom, a big sister and a US Marshal. When she is assigned a case in Las Vegas, she decides to move there and someday in the future introduce her son to his father. Gio is a Las Vegas police detective and the son of a casino owner, he's also Maddie's ex and the father of her son. Top it off with the family casino being investigated and you have a book that is non-stop drama, humor, sizzle, action and suspense. I loved this book from cover to cover and look forward to reading more from C.A. Szarek soon. King Of Hearts is book 1 of The Giovanni Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I fell in love with the Crossing Forces series by this talented author and knew I had to read the first book in this new series. I am so glad I did. Las Vegas Detective Nico/Gio Giovanni (estranged from his family) and US Marshal Madison/Maddie Granger met eight years ago but ended their affair leaving both in a great deal of heartache with unexpected results. Fate brings them together when his family’s casino is under investigation. This ignites their feelings as well as jeopardizes their careers. Add the possibility of a mafia connection, and you end up with a suspenseful romance that will keep you on the edge of your seats. Family dynamics add tension to this already tension filled story. Can’t wait to see what else this talented author has in store for us. I was entrusted a copy of this book by Netgalley. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
