Rule #1: Keep your head down and your eyes up. It makes you invisible. But not stupid.
Ace, a young cardshark, has worked her entire life to achieve one goal. Bring Burlone Allegretti to his knees. As the head of a mafia family who dabbles in human trafficking, he’s far from innocent, and Ace can’t wait to exact her revenge.
As her plan is set in motion, the alluring head of a rival family, Kingston Romano, approaches her with a proposition. One that she’s desperate enough to accept.
Soon, she finds herself in the crosshairs of a war she isn’t prepared to fight. With a target on her back, and intimate feelings she refuses to acknowledge, she’ll have to decide if she’s all in, or if she’ll be taken for all she’s worth.
Kelsie Rae specializes in contemporary romance that is sweet with a little heat. Her Signature Sweetheart Series was a HUGE hit! With the Advantage Play Series, Kelsie is showing us a different side of her personality. Someone has been hiding a dark side behind some sweet romances. Grab your whiskey. Come in my office and let’s have a chat about Kelsie Rae’s Wild Card.
Ace is a card-counting badass hiding behind short skirts and blonde wigs. She slips into the casino, wins at black-jack and slips out without being noticed. Ace has one thing in mind and getting caught while she’s saving her money is not an option. All is going well until she gets caught by none other than the head of the Romano family – the Dark King, Kingston. Can Ace remember her rules or will she throw them and caution out of the window in order to help Kingston exact revenge on Burlone Allegretti?
Kingston Romano has just become the head of the Romano family. Kingston has earned the respect of his colleagues through his interrogation tactics, a specific set of skills, which has earned him the title Dark King. He’s working now to prove himself worthy to lead the Romano family but, like his family before him, Kingston draws the line at violence toward women and human trafficking. When Burlone tries to frame the Romano’s, the fight against human trafficking becomes a little too personal and Kingston solicits the help of a cute, little card counter that he caught at his casino.
The heat between Ace and Kingston is scorching! Things start to spiral and Ace calls the one person that she trusts, but shouldn’t, for help. Neither of them are in a position to begin a relationship but fate doesn’t give them a choice.
Once again, Kelsie’s character development is superb! Kingston is a drool-worthy mafia boss which a soft side that he only shares with Ace. Ace is a girl who lives in a rundown apartment and has seen evil that lives there and feeds on the needy. She is not a victim. She’s a badass who is going to come out on top or die trying. I LOVED Kelsie Rae’s walk on the dark side and think that you will too. The only bad thing about Wild Card is the cliffhanger and the fact that I have to wait until October to read Dark King. My rating for Kelsie Rae’s Wild Card is most definitely 5 out of 5 propellers.

Kelsie is a sucker for a love story with all the feels and enjoys a solid chick flick, too. When she’s not chasing words for her next book, you will probably find her reading or, more likely, playing with her three small children who love to drive her crazy.She adores chocolate, photography, and baking. And now that she’s actively pursuing her writing dreams, she’s set her sights on someday finding the self-discipline to not eat an entire batch of cookies in one sitting.
