Gamble on Love

In her Ladies of Distinction series, Michelle Monkou weaves a story of secrets, addictions, trust, and romance in Gamble On Love. Denise Dixon was used to having things done her way. When she met Jaden Bond, the sexy contractor who was hired by her parents to renovate her new house, Denise knew she had to go out with him. Denise and Jaden were attracted to each other. Denise was funny, sassy and she had a way of making Jaden feel comfortable. In order for their relationship to grow, both of them had to come to terms with family secrets, and personal demons that were keeping them apart. Gamble On Love was a good story to read. The characters created by Monkou were likeable and very realistic. As the reader, I could feel the emotions of both Denise and Jaden as they struggled to rid themselves of the issues that held them apart. This was the first story that I have read by Michelle Monkou. I look forward to reading other books in the series. Reviewed by: Priscilla C. Johnson APOOO BookClub

September 15, 2008: I read this book in a day and just let say that not much work got done that day. We met Denise in 'No One But You' Michelle gave us a peak at Denise but in Gamble on Love we get to really know Denise what make her tick, and do the thing she do. We also get to see the real Denise personality and let me tell you she is something. Denise is a lady with attitude and she does know it. Denise is so use to being the center of attention and getting whatever she want but boy oh boy when she meet Jaden Bond 'when I read his name the first thing that came to mind is the famous word of James Bond. Ya'll know Bond James Bond. Smile' just thinks of Jaden that way. He is Sexy and a SELF MADE MILLIONAIRE. Without giving to much a way they both come with shameful secret that they each work out.
