While I greatly appreciate the opportunity from netgalley and the publisher to read this book, I didn’t really connect with it. The guy was kind of jerky and not really my type of character. It became more of a skim for me.

As always, I appreciate the opportunity to read and review one of your titles. Unfortunately, this title didn’t work for me and I have chosen not to review it.
Please also let me extend my apologies for this being so incredibly late (as I am guessing it’s more than obvious I didn’t review at this point) as I like to hold negative or DNF reviews until a title is no longer available on NetGalley, and sometimes posting once it has been archived slips my mind.

Once you finish Even Money, you're going to one hundred percent need the next book. Alessandra Torre takes you on a rollercoaster in this book but you won't want to get over!

Alessandra always gives me what I want in a book. This was no exception. The surprise in this book is all I can and will say! Just damn! Read it ASAP!

I'm a huge fan of A. Torre but this book was not a fav of mines. I can't get past the cheating in this book and the fact that the female character is so much younger (although legal) than the male. I understand her reasons but I couldn't get into this book.

Really enjoyed this book, very interesting, kept my attention didn’t want to put it down. I can’t wait to see what happens in book 2

Two things right off the bat..
I’ve never been to Vegas.
I’ve never read Alessandra Torre

I’m not quite sure why both things have never happened but I’m glad I at least fixed one of those! The blurb alone had me intrigued and I’m glad I took a chance!

I was in awe of the story. I was captivated by Bell & Dario’s story and how the two fell for each other immediately. The backstory was something I was not expecting, it was emotional and complicated. Bell & Dario’s chemistry and sexual attraction was beyond expectation and had me fully invested in their story.

I truly thought I knew exactly where the ending of this book was going..was I ever wrong! It was one of the best I’ve read in quite a long time and I read a ton of books!

I can’t wait for the second book!! Alessandra Torre has a new fan!

Now...to get to Vegas...

I am a big fan by this author and this book once again of this authors amazing writing. This story had amazing characters with really steamy moments throughout the story. This was story that I could not put down from the very first page.

My very first Alessandra Torre book and I wasn't sure what to expect with it, but boy was I caught up in this story of forbidden love and lust between a powerful casino owner and a cocktail waitress. I was a little thrown off by the speed of their relationship, almost in a sense it was borderline instalove but I couldn't stop reading. I need book 2 ASAP!

I am a huge fan of this author so, reading this was a joy!!! Mrs. Torre knows how to write complex characters and this is no exception ! I loved it!

All I have to say is WOW! What an amazing plot twist!! Even Money started out as a slow-burn romance which is unusual for Alessandra Torre. However the more I read the book, the better understanding I had as to why Dario and Bell couldn't be together immediately. They definitely had some steamy and lustful encounters leading up to the climax so to speak and trust me it was well worth the wait. The plot concept is different in very good way. I really liked how she thought outside the box with this one.

Dario is a rich, successful and powerful man who is practically the king of Vegas. And as the blurb for Even Money says, he meets Bell, a cocktail waitress who literally brings him to his knees. I really liked Dario and he's a very intriguing character who peeked my curiosity. He's quite loveable and I love his white knight persona. I enjoyed the way he pursued Bell and he wasn't going to let anything or anyone deter him from having her. I absolutely loved Bell's character. She's bold, confident and strong. I don't think she realizes how much strength and power she has within. I loved how she owns her sexuality and sexual prowess.

Alessandra Torre never disappoints when it comes to writing sex scenes. They are panty melting, sizzling and I definitely fanned myself more than a few times when reading these scenes.

All I can say is the ending is unpredictable and I need the second book ASAP!!

Awesome book!! Loved every minute of it! Once you start reading this book you won’t want to put it down. You will not be disappointed with this one.

WOW! First let me premise, I first found Ms. Torre by recommendation of my girlfriend and I am glad she did!

Even Money was just an amazing and twisty turning read! The plot twist: OMG!!!! I really need Double Down.....like NOW!!!!!

Even Money is the first part in the All In Duet series. This books filled with drama, mystery, and passion. Alessandra’s writing style is phenomenal. Definitely should pick this one up.

The drama in the book kept me captured and riveted. The only feedback I have is about reading what the people in Louisiana were saying. That is where my family is from and understanding was difficult for me and that is where I was raised for part of my life.

This is the first book in the series and is a fantastic well-written book I was pulled right into the story and did not want to put it down. I love Bell and Dario and the chemistry between them was crazy and they both know they should not act on it with him being married it is a good interesting read with lots of twists and turns it has something for everyone

Again another simply must read by a phenomenal author. She makes you forget you're reading a book and transports you into the lives of her characters. Just fantastic.

Even Money is the firstpart of the All In Duet series and have a bit of a cliffhanger. Bell and Dario wants to be together but it is at high risk for them both. They have to be careful and they pay for their wants.

Even Money is very fast paced and has drama, danger, mystery, intrigues and passion in it. I like the twists and turns. I would at some places wanted more depth to the story but I liked it anyway because of the mix of romance, passion and steamy scenes. Chemistry could have been more convincing.

Story flows well of the pages and is rather captivating at times. I enjoyed this read.

I love Alessandra Torre's books and this one was no different. However I did find that there were a few issues with this book. I didnt particularly like that he stalked her, I liked the way he was with her, but didn't like him as a whole. Definitely a little over zealous. Her.... she was so swishy washy I like him... I dont like him... umm she just wasnt my favorite. I felt like insta love just isn't my favorite thing.

This book was alright, however I didn't really like the premise and the guy was sort of a jerk. Also, they didn't really seem to have an actual connection other than they found each other attractive. Both characters were quite annoying. I did however like the ending of the book which was more fast-paced and the cliffhanger made me want to see how it all turned out in the second book of the series.
