I honestly am struggling with how to review this book, because:A. Big Amy Lane fangirl--completely addicted to her writing.B. Still scratching my head trying to figure out my own thoughtsSeriously, I love Amy's writing, and this book, like all her books, is very well crafted. It felt to me more like a series of vignettes than an actual novel. I saw the relationship develop, but it didn't feel like a single story. I did enjoy reading it, and holy hades was it HOT, but I am still kind of puzzled by it.Also, I tend to like certain character types, and one Amy writes really well is this nurturing cuddly type. Quentin reminded me of all the things I loved about Kane from Dex in Blue and Shane from Making Promises. That said, I never really "got" Jace. It might take a few re-reads before I figure him out. I would recommend this for people who like to indulge in supremely well-crafted sentences, who can truly appreciate the micro-craft at which Amy Lane excels, for anyone who likes smoking hot guy on guy action, and those who have a soft spot for the cuddlers. I admit, I stopped reading this for a while (maybe a week), because really, there was no huge "climax" and it dragged on a bit for me. I swear I only meant to put it down for a bit, but by the time I finished another book I had convinced myself that this book was really boring.And then I picked it back up again.And BAM!It was fabulous, sexy and funny. But I'm not going to take back what I said earlier about it dragging on a bit.There was a lot of sex (which is fine but perhaps contributed to the dragging), but there are also some particular ones that really burn the sheets. This really was quite a cute, sexy and light read, perfect for drab days or just some random spare time on your hand.I definitely recommend it as an in-between-er, however I wouldn't really place it that high on your priority list.A lot of the poker references went right past me, unfortunately (not much of a poker person, sadly) but they didn't annoy me or anything. If anything, the really helped the story along and added a rather charming side to it.
What do You think about Gambling Men: The Novel (2012)?
Sorry Amy, but this one just didn't work for me!

Good. The three is a case of "me, not you."
