BXTCHES Gotta Warn: The first time I cracked this book open, well, really tapped open on my iPad, was six years ago. I’ve re-read a couple times since, but since I haven’t read the entire Colorado Mountain Series, I decide to re-read once more (it’s now 2020), since is the first book in the series. There are six books total in this series I have read four of the six, hence the re-read. Usually I am a staunch proponent of reading a series in the order in which the books were written, however, I actually started this series with book #2 and this is a pretty easy series to read out of order, if you so desired. Just know, that as you move through the series, characters in the previous books will make appearances.
The Gamble will be told from the POV of Nina.
Nina arrives in Gnaw Bone, Colorado from England, calling a much needed timeout for life. She’s a lawyer, she’s engaged, but she’s wondering if the life she’s living is the life she wants. . .so, Gnaw Bone and a cabin in the snowy mountains it is. Unfortunately, once Nina arrives at the cabin that she carefully picked and paid for and arrives to while beginning to feel something wonky in her sinuses, she finds a mountain man occupying her timeout and that mountain man happens to be the owner of the timeout getaway, Holden Maxwell (Max). Max is none too happy with the mix up that has put Nina at his doorstep. He tells her she needs to leave, she argues, but eventually does head back down the mountain, only to wind up in a ditch. Max gets her back to his cabin, nurses her back from the flu and then the story begins.
Kristen Ashley writes alpha males. Kristen Ashely writes alpha males really, really well. So armed with that information, you can deduce that once one of her alpha males sets his sites on something or someone that he wants, he is gonna do about whatever it takes to make that happen. In a non stalkery, non creepy way of course. Nina and Max have chemistry. Nina knows it. Max knows it. Hell, everyone in Gnaw Bone knows it. The issue at hand, well there’s a lot of issues at hand, but the main one being the fact that Nina is in fact in Colorado to sort her life out, not to add to it by crawling up a big, badass mountain man as if he were a tree. Max sees it differently and I don’t think it’s gonna take a lot to figure out who wins this battle. The thing about reading any great Kristen Ashley book is not whether or not the H/h will end up together, that doesn’t take a whole lot of figuring out. The great thing about reading Kristen Ashley, is the journey that the H/h go through to end up together. And holy fuck is this ever the journey.
KA has an ability to mix humor with drama and heartbreak. A lot is gonna get unpacked pretty early on, with some luggage left to sort through during the course of the two week timeout. There’s murder and infidelity and break-ups and rape and violence and kidnapping, and a lot of this happens before Nina and Max get any sort of mattress dancing in. Even with all of this going down, she was able to weave in her brand of humor. This book had me going from laughing out loud to fighting back my tears.

Kristen Ashley is superbly gifted at developing her characters, especially her supporting ones. She has this ability to completely have you invested in it all, even if the name is mentioned just one time. With all the emotions and baggage to sort through, there are just as many characters to get to know. You fall in love where you’re supposed to and you hate where it is warranted. Everyone you meet will add another layer and the end she builds a story that you will be thinking about for days.
We can’t fall in love with an alpha male and not talk about the sexual chemistry that is brought to the page. I look for a lot when I’m being judgy about sex scenes in a book and while the chemistry between the two leading the cast is certainly something I need, I also have to have dirty talk and both need to be believable. . .oh don’t worry, it gets brought and it gets brought in a very delicious way.
I realize that this book is somewhat old (2012), however, if you haven’t had the privilege of reading a Kristen Ashley book and a hearty romance novel makes your toes curl, then you need to catch up. She is definitely worth the pages in her book (there are a lot, by the way) and trust me, it is very hard to put down and I predict you will be scurrying to buy the next in the series once you have enjoyed this one.
