<b>Holy Cliffhanger</b> This was some good shit.

This book was amazing! I just came of the high of book 2 and things are spicing up even more.

Dominic, My Dominic, see how low you spiral. I did enjoy his downward spiral into his addiction especially since it had been mentioned in the previous book I thought maybe the author was just going to gloss over it and never really bring it to play but to see Levi handle it was mighty fine.

Is it weird that I like the <i><b>seven of spades</i></b> he/she is obviously psycho and I have been trying to pinpoint who he/she is now with no luck, but I like that SOS cares about Levi, even though it is unhealthy, as I said, weird.

I want to read the other book right now, I need my fix!

4.5 stars - This series continues to be an interesting, on the edge of your seat, can’t wait for the next one with every installment. The Seven of Spades is escalating and evolving with each killing, and Levi is getting more frustrated by the day. Dominic is beginning his new job as an official private investigator and things are otherwise going well for them. If you haven’t read the previous books, stop right now and go back. You won’t want to miss how this all started.

As if things aren’t confusing enough with trying to find the identify of the SOS, there is a gang war brewing and while they don’t seem connected, everything is tied together by various threads. Dominic is off chasing down a missing girl and finds himself in a bit of a pickle or I should say casino. As you can easily imagine, things start to crumble fairly quickly as he hides his relapse from Levi. I always felt it was a matter of time with him continuing to live in the worst possible place for someone with a major gambling addiction.

Levi and Dominic go from one end to the other in this segment, from saying I love you to what seems like the end. Levi promised to stand by Dominic no matter what it took, but how much can he actually take before it becomes too much for him? The emotions are running full blast and so clear you can just about feel them yourself. I love that about these guys. Their relationship seems so genuine, and while I’m saddened by what’s happening with them right now, I’m also glad to see them facing these struggles. I just know they will come out stronger in the end.

As for the SoS, he/she has really stepped up their game with the vigilante killings. It’s driving me nuts trying to figure out who it could be, and I really feel Levi’s frustration. He’s on the edge, and it seems like it won’t take much to push him over. Thankfully, the SOS still seems to have his best interests at heart, and continues to look out for Levi, right to the very end. And what an end it was! Finishing this installment with a personal visit/note for Dominic that made me catch my breath, scream a little and send some silent begging the wait for the next book will be a short one. I can’t wait to see how this all plays out! Highly recommended!

3 1/2 stars out of 5
I started this series in book 3 and this is a series you really need to start from book 1. The book is also a cliffhanger and it looks to be planned that way.

The story progressed at a really slow place for being part of a series. The police and FBI seem completely incompetent at their jobs as they bumble their way though the case.

Where this story should have shinned it fell apart.

Thank you to Netgalley for the advance copy of Cordelia Kingsbridge Cash Plays

I have loved this series from the first word and each installment has been a polished thrill ride filled with mystery, suspense, explosive chemistry and a whodunit that’s giving me whiplash. Every person I suspect to be the killer is someone that would be devastating to the main characters—Levi and Dominic— and yet, I feel like that’s an inevitable pain we must all be braced for.

Another pain, one I sorta kinda thought was coming, was the discord in the relationship. Their coming together wasn’t exactly a meet-cute, and while they have all the potential to be rock solid, the SoS is taking its toll. Tensions are high, things are at the breaking point and sometimes that has to happen for people (and relationships) to be stronger.

Unlike Nat, Rohan is not on my suspect list. I didn’t like him at all and that feeling grew throughout the book, but that almost made him too obvious. He may well be a bad guy or there with his own agenda, or he may just be a fed with a ‘better than everyone else’ mentality, but I don’t think he’s got the intelligence, sophistication, or patience to be the Seven of Spades killer.

Wow, we are three books into the Seven of Spades series, and it just keeps on getting better and better. Levi and Dominic are returning from their first vacation together and their relationship is going well, even though they kick the ever-living-crap out of each other occasionally at the gym to burn off steam when Levi's anger gets the best of him. "He [Levi] tended not to handle emotional stress well - or at all - and his two main coping mechanisms were sex and violence." Dominic meets the parents, and in watching his mother and Dominic cook together,

"Still standing by the doorway, Levi sucked in a breath as the sharpest, sweetest pain he'd even known clutched at his chest and lanced through his core. The sudden swell of emotion was so overwhelming that he had to take a few seconds to catch his bearings before he cleared his throat and said 'I'm home.'"

But soon Dominic catches a missing person case that places him smack dab in the middle of his addiction, while Levi continues to spar with the Seven of Spades as they continue their killing spree, escalating into increasing violence. There's a new FBI profiler on board - Rohan Chaudhary - and a new crisis involving the Las Vegas crime families and everything comes to a head in a dramatic conclusion that left me awed and amazed at Kingsbridge's skill in moving her characters around this complex tapestry of murder and revenge.

Cash Plays is satisfying in so darn many ways. Kingsbridge strings us along with the illusive Seven of Spades killer, and introduces the possibility of a secondary character being the SOS (someone I had suspected from the very beginning) and then clears them ... or does she? She adds a layer with the FBI profiler who seems very interested in both Levi and Dominic, both personally and professionallly. There's a complex game of deadly activities involving the Slavic Collection, Los Avispones, the Parks crime family and a newcomer calling Utopia. And above all, there's Levi and Dominic - both damaged, dangerous men who find a sort of salvation with one another - and a relationship that hangs by a thread. I highly recommend this series! 5 stars.

I absolutely LOVE this series. I've never read a book that can make you fall in love with the characters while at the same time be so pissed off at one of them. Oh and not to mention keeping me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out who the Seven of Spades killer is. I loved how this book delved further into Levi's dark emotions and Dominic's addiction struggles.
I can't wait for book 4!!

4.5 Stars

I don’t think I have suitable words to describe how I felt about this book, but let me try anyway. I just knew - prior to read this book - that this installment’s gonna be one of the hardest of the series in term of the characters relationship’s development. Or should I say the setbacks... Given the bumpy start to Levi and Dominic relationship, I kinda hope it took them longer to hit trouble. But “Seven of Spades” have some of complicated characters with major issues anyway, they were damaged people. So I should’ve foreseen the left over scars would catch up to them sooner [than later].

“Cash Plays” started with happy scene where Levi and Dominic were taking much needed holiday. After what they had went through on previous two books, it was such a relief to have this glimpse. All too soon, all hell broke loose and the body count started to rise; and our favorite couple were torn in different directions following their leads.

I had always found the books in “Seven of Spades” series engrossing. Each installments had their major villains, just like this one. But the biggest bad wolf of all was the serial killer, whose existence loomed in the background. Always. The author cleverly choreographed the chains of events with twist and turned that got our protagonist questioned everything, even himself. Not only was it exhilarating to spot the shift in Levi, to me it was doubly painful witnessing Dominic’s slow lapses. All in the name of good intention. I swear this book got me unhinged; I shouted and shook my hand at Dominic to change his decision, ranting at Levi to be more compassionate, to name a few. It was exhausting. On the personal front, the whole emotional stuff the characters faced here truly had me wrung out.

The mystery aspect, the whole conspiracy theory of it, was a tad hyperbolic to me. While I loved that the protagonist nuclear circle consisted of shrewd people, it was daunting how inept [and corrupted] the police department was (I mean, I wish LEOs in fiction world could be way better than IRL!). That the Seven of Spades’ fixation on Levi displayed in some sort of bonding moments and their taking his best interest at heart was especially chilling (and as usual got me rack my brain over whom the most likely to name as the serial killer). In other words, just like its predecessors “Cash Plays” got me in tenterhooks and with how things turned up for Levi and Dominic, I’m really anxious on how - and WHEN, NOT SEPTEMBER - the next book would take them.

3,5 stars


I was a bit skeptical when it became clear that a serial killer would be hunted through the whole series. It means, not through initially three installments, but through five installments. Maybe even more, who knows.

I might be mistaken but I am slightly concerned that in this series quantity will take priority over quality. Not that I don’t trust the author with new creative ideas, but Cash Plays revealed some serious problems with a mystery part (for me) that was difficult to ignore for me.

Mystery:

First, nothing really happens here to solve THE BIG CASE: the killer plays his games with the police as always, except that killer's brutality increases, the obsession for Levi manifests and the police remains hopeless, ineffective and lacking in ideas.

Not even a new FBI consultant could contribute to a successful outcome - though I know by now that his role in the series less to help to find the serial killer, but rather to be a disturbing factor in Levi’s and Domenic’s relationship, and this task he masters perfectly well.

Somehow I had a feeling during reading the last third of the book that Cordelia Kingsbridge didn't really know what to do with the situation in which she brought her characters, it is why she came up with an action-packed gangs war that occupies the major part of the mystery plot in the third book, but not very interesting to follow. I don’t like fighting scenes, not in the movies and much less in my books. Unfortunately, there are many of them here and they are just two lines too long.

But even more than written fighting scenes I dislike the situations when the MCs act unprofessionally. Levi and Domenic are very unprofessional in the third book. And, alas, in a way that makes the cop/PI's job in this book appear superficial and ridiculous, and this is also the fact that I refuse to accept.

Romance:

If you don’t care about the mystery at all, you won’t probably notice all trivialities I am complaining about, all you attention will be focus on the romantic relationship between Levi und Dominic, and – it has to be said – in the third book it turns suddenly into a big construction sites .

To tell the truth, I expected more pain and heartbreak at the romance part. Maybe I belong to the most hart-boiled contemporary romance reader but it was not THAT gloomy and hurtful as I initially suspected it to be.

Levi und Dominic are first at the beginning of their intense relationship, each one of them has their own strengths and weaknesses, and each one of them must learn to recognize and to deal with strengths and weaknesses of his partner. It still doesn’t work perfectly, but it is human, and I have no doubts that they will manage it in the future books, and that they will go through the highs and lows of life together. We experience maybe the first serious DOWN in their relationship, but it makes the story only spicy. At least sex scenes were well-deserved: arguing, as is well known, opens the heart and other parts of the anatomy. Your body will benefit from it.

Bottom line:

So, on the emotional part everything was fine, but I was pretty bored with all this BANG! gang war.

Fuuuuuuuck, I love this series.

Why-o-why do I think it's adorable that a serial killer is protecting Levi, even if it's from Dom? That's just twisted!

One word to describe how I felt reading this book? Trepidation.
For Dom, for Levi, Jessica Miller. He'll, for everyone in this story.

First I felt bad for Dominic, then I was angry. Then I felt bad again, and then furious. Towards the end threat, then I felt joyous. Seriously, that's twisted lol!

Levi's parents are adorable, we finally get to meet them in person in this book. I think that was one of my favorite parts, before everything went down the shitter.

Levi's anger issues are also increasing, but it's kind of hot in the aftermath of their sparring. Dom's addictive tendencies are getting out of control, and it's really sad to see these two struggle. This isn't a happy ending, by any means. Yet, I found myself kind of charmed by SoS.

I feel like with every book, the latest one is my favorite. I just want to shake my Kindle as I tell "WHO DAFUQ IS SOS!?!?!?"
I'm dying to find out. Especially since things are escalating with their killings.

The adventures of Levi and Dominic continue. The Seven of Spades returns to wreak havoc once again in their lives. Levi finally having his suspicions confirmed. But he'd rather of been wrong. Dom and Levi get closer and admit they are in love. Dom meets Levi's parents and that goes well.

Las Vegas gangs are being pitted against each other. The violence increases bringing tension and uncertainty in its wake. The cause unknown. Just something else to deal with besides the SOS killer, who has escalated also. The killer continues to contact Levi, causing him problems at work and with the FBI.

Dom, now a fully licensed PI, takes on a case that sends him on a dangerous downward spiral. His addiction tearing him and Levi apart. Levi, getting closer to the edge himself, unable to stop the inevitable. His demons just as destructive as Dom’s. Only his include getting to close to a serial killer.

This series just keeps getting better and definitely needs to be read in order. I hate how this one ended though. Just not what I wanted to see. The next book is a few months away, so I guess I'll settle in for the wait.

ALL BETS ARE OFF

With this last message - last warning - at the end of the previous book, the Seven of Spades upped the ante in their sick game of cat and mouse and unleashed an unprecedented killing spree in order to put the fear of god into Las Vegas's underworld and everyone who is trying to stop them. Playing mind games, mocking and challenging the police with every strike.

Levi's frustration about not being any further at closing this case than he was at the very beginning, threatens to snap his hold on his temper and his hard-won resolve on keeping the anger, the violence inside him at bay.

As if this wasn't enough, Levi has to deal with an obnoxious FBI profiler who could be a threat to his career and his love life and to top it all off, a new player enters the game whose goal apparently amounts to throwing Las Vegas into a gang war that is getting more and more out of hand.

While the Seven of Spades increasingly escalates, their obsession grows more and more mutual and in his fixation, the SoS even develops some kind of protective instinct for Levi, ending up in Levi finding his only solace in his lover Dominic and their deepening relationship.

Dominic sees himself forced to take a dangerous path, though. His new case as a Private Investigator to find a missing person compels him to push his luck and only results in him being stretched to his limits - not to say far beyond that - which in turn affects his relationship with Levi in a way neither of them anticipated. Not only Dominic's life choices are put to the test, but also their love for each other...

And on that note, I'll leave the rest to your imagination until you get to read it for yourselves. :-)

Yep, it's official now and I have it in black and white: I'm a glutton for punishment! I knew it! I knew how it would end - well, not exactly - but of course my inner toggler had to click the details for the book on the publisher site again (yeah, the next one too *cough*) and I had a vague idea how it would go down, even if the execution exceeded all my expectations. And still I couldn't resist... I'm not known for my patience and yet now I'm sitting here again on my hands for three more months until the next book comes out. Do I regret my decision? Hell no. This book sucked me in right from the start and everytime I read a book by this author - a book in this series in particular - it's like a movie playing in my mind's eye, thanks to the vivid writing style of the author - umm and yeah, also thanks to my vivid fantasy.

Ms. Kingsbridge is a master in lulling her readers - but also her characters - into a false sense of security by giving us some tender moments between Levi and Dominic to show us that these guys are a match made in heaven before she closes in for the kill, culminating in some seriously hot angry sex. But even if it was sometimes painful to read and I alternated between wanting to strangle Dominic and hug him, she absolutely convinced me of the realness of someone who is only intent on getting his next fix - figuratively speaking - by pushing any rational thought aside no matter what the cost.

Unlike Trick Roller the Seven of Spades took on a bigger role again this time and since I'm collecting my own evidence on the side, everything still points out to the one I had in my sights from the beginning and it's killing me to wait another half year to see if I'm right. The ending made me even more anxious about the next book than I already was since it looks like the Seven of Spades still has another ace up their sleeve.

Highly recommended!

My immediate response upon finishing this book was:



Every time.

Every.

Single.

Time.

Imma have to re-think my whole vision of myself as "non-masochistic".

Cordelia Kingsbridge: slyly making readers redefine their self-image, one book at a time.

In other words...



Again! I knew it would. WE ALL KNEW IT WOULD! She'll prolly cliff us again in One-Eyed Royals. But I still steady keep reading them the second I get them. Like a junkie.

Honestly though, as hard as it was to read about two characters that I've grown to love struggle I wouldn't have it any other way. They have to test their relationship. It can't always be tongue slap your brains out sex and tender moments that make me heart eyes my kindle like a creeper. True, they're in a bad place right now but their connection to each other is soul deep and I know this too shall pass. There is relate-ability and authenticy in their issues which is what makes them difficult to read but also dovetails into stronger characterizations. I appreciate that these things weren't minimized or overwrought. Also, you know what the upside of them fighting is? ANGRY SEX FTW!!!!!!!!!




Where I think CK truly distinguished herself here is with the construction of this narrative. The Seven of Spades, I believe, is playing a larger puppet master role than I initially envisioned which opens up possibilities with regard to their endgame, and I do believe their is one. An endgame, that is.

Las Vegas's legendary organized crime plays a critical role in Cash Plays. The turf war has caught the attention of LVMPD and Dom gets involved by way of a possible kidnapping case he's working at his new PI job. There are three syndicates that run Las Vegas who seemingly have a cooperative relationship then Utopia bursts on the scene. No one knows much about them but they seem to be reaping all the rewards of said turf war. The lack of investigation into Utopia is my reason for deducting a half star. But even with that oversight this storyline was involved, complex and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.

Get ready for LOADS of action in this installment! Levi BAMF ninjas out several times and even wends up on YouTube!



I love actiony books and this delivered while also subtly addressing the issue of gun violence and the role the police play in it that's in every headline and I liked the way it was handled; it wasn't preachy or didactic and it didn't divert attention away from the plot.

Those who suffer from depression may want to exercise caution with this one as both Levi and Dom seem to be struggling with it to varying degrees and coping with it in their own, sometimes maladaptive, ways.

Most concerning is Levi's relationship with the Seven of Spades and I don't mind saying I'm kind of beside myself over it. But I have to wait for the next installment.



Must read for fans of the series and psychological thriller fans.





An ARC was provided by NetGalley.

Three books in and this is turning into a highly addictive series.This one pulled me in from the start and didn't let go...


Dominic and Levi are in a good place emotionally when the book opens.There are sweet moments and some seriously hot one's as well.After reading the blurb for book four (big mistake!), I kind of knew what to expect but that didn't make it any less dramatic and the further I got into the book,the more I read with growing trepidation.Having an idea of how things would play out and how they actually do are two very different things...


Career wise,

Dominic has just started a new job as a Private Investigator and the case he's assigned to of a missing women is about to test his resolve to it's very limits...

Levi is getting more and more frustrated with his inability to catch the elusive Seven of Spades killer and add into the mix an all out gang war on the streets of Las Vegas and he seems to be pulled in every direction and increasingly unable to spend so much time with Dominic...


Cordelia Kingsbridge has created some truly great couples in her stories and Dominic and Levi are no exception.These two men are just meant to be together.I adore them individually and together they are explosive,although definitely not always pretty.Both struggling with ever present demons from their pasts...will their love be enough?


Although it was important to the story I got a bit bored with the gang war aspect and kind of felt the Seven of Spades took a bit of a back seat here.Having said that the mystery surrounding his/her identity is building nicely and I'm more than a bit fascinated by the fixation with Levi.I've had my theory on who it is from book one and my opinion is still the same...

Seriously,September can't come soon enough...I'm completely enthralled by this series.

Highly Recommended!!

Cash Plays continues in this third book with Det.Levi Abrams still investigating the Seven of Spades serial killer to the point of obsession pushing him towards breaking point. His relationship with P.I. Dominic Russo is still intense and both have declared their love for each other.
The Las Vegas criminal underworld comes into play, with someone trying to break these criminal gangs apart by any means possible. This places further strain on Levi and Dominic's relationship with some heartbreaking moments.
Another fantastic read, I can't wait for book 4, this is a brief review as I'm afraid of giving away spoilers!
My thanks to net galley and publisher for opportunity to review this book honestly.

** spoiler alert ** ** THIS REVIEW CONTAINS A LOT OF SPOILERS; YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED **

Since this is going to be a 5-book series and having read the blurb for book #4, I prepared myself diving into Cash Plays with full understanding that it might not be an easy read; it might just be the lowest point in Levi and Dominic's relationship. Also I have experience with another 5-book series, in which book #3 is where everything falls apart, book #4 is the step of reconciliation, and book #5 is the HEA (I am looking at you, Adrien English!)

Anyway, we are welcome with a lovely bliss when Cash Plays starts. Levi and Dominic are good -- "I love you" statements are exchanged, they are also in that phase of dismissing condoms because they are committed to one another (their first bareback sex scene is HOT!). Dominic also obtains his private investigator license, so he is working as P.I. now rather than bounty hunter. Dominic meets Levi's parents, they are approved of him. See, everything is wonderful

... until it is not

Levi's latest case looks like someone stirring's hornets nest to create impending all out gang war in Las Vegas. Dominic's case of tracking a missing girl brings him back to his old demon -- his gambling addiction. FBI steps in into the Seven of Spades case and the agent-in-charge presents our serial killer's characteristics that can easily be describing Levi. Dominic is making a lot of reasonings to keep his spiral down gambling as secret from his cop boyfriend.

... and of course everything collide

I love how in this book Kingsbridge writes about the imperfectness of our heroes. We know Dominic is in recovery of his gambling addiction, and in this we see how ugly things get when Dominic relapses. Of course it's easier to think that Levi is the 'better' guy because of Dominic's addiction, but Levi is not without faults. Levi acknowledges that he has issues with his temper, his anger. Levi admits that he can enjoy violence. So these two are confronted with their demons. It's not easy for ME as a reader to read it, but and it NEEDS to happen. Levi and Dominic need to face the lows, to see how they can deal with it before they work on their happy end.

On the Seven of Spades front, the police department gets quite a shock when they find out who has been helping the serial killer from the inside. And is it wrong for me that I can somehow justify the vigilante in action *head desk*. In addition, the suspect pool for the Seven of Spades is now include SO MANY people, even those inside the police department, and while I have my suspicion since the first book, my faith is now shaken. I wonder if I should contemplate other person as well.

I can't rate this higher than the previous two books though; simply because I didn't really care with the gang war case. So I admit that I skipped some pages because I was more interested with both Levi and Dominic's personal problems. Also, I wasn't happy with the introduction of the FBI Agent, Rohan. He sounds like a trouble seed for Levi and Dominic. Don't like him *pout*.

I swear, this series is SO FREAKING GOOD . Waiting for book #4 coming in September is going to be AGONY

"<i>Everyone who meets Dominic loves him. I've heard bounties he's arrested talk about what a nice guy he is.</i>"
"<b>I have a Jewish mother. I am her only son. King David himself could walk the earth again and she wouldn't think he was good enough for me.</b>"

Hello bingemode my old friend.. sadly, though, with only three books (well, two!) out so far, this is as far as said binge goes. But what a ride it has been.

"<i>He used to be just the cutest, scrawniest little thing you ever saw -- all elbows and knees with a big poof of curls. I have some pictures in my wallet if you'd like to see them.</i>"
"<b>Please.</b>"
"<u>You're all dead to me.</u>"

Naturally, when you sign up for a multiple-book romance arc, you know there will be instances where your pairing doesn't do so well. And for Levi Abrams, Las Vegas homicide detective, and Dominic Russo, once a bail bondsmen and now a PI, this is that instance.

"<i>If you became a murderer, you'd never be content to simply slit a man's throat and be done with it. You would tear your victims apart and leave them in pieces. That's how I know you're not the Seven of Spades.</i>"

Seeing as we're three books in to a continuing plot, as well as romance, there are so many things I can't say for fear of spoilers. However the premise continues to be set around a vigilante serial killer who has a strange attachment to our couple but, specifically, Levi. Which is just one of the many reasons an FBI profiler is brought onboard as the killer continues to go about enacting his brand of terrible justice. Simultaneously, the city seems to be on the brink of a war between the three top gangs. A war that appears to be more and more the result of someone on the inside betraying the others. Said gangwar coincidences with a missing person's case that Dominic takes on, which has the unfortunate luck of being tied up in a moveable underground gambling ring, which threatens Dominic's addiction.

"<i>Everyone has a dark side. It's okay to take that side out for a drive every now and then. Healthy adults have this crazy thing called impulse control that tells them when and where to do that. It's what separates us from psychotic serial killers. And teenagers.</i>"

Basically CASH PLAYS is a bubbling pot about to overflow and cause a clusterfuck of a mess.. which it does. The emotional chaos, doubt, and lies that get flung about in this installment were rough. Like I said, this is the low point of the series that I would like to think will only make our couple stronger once they can move past and overcome what they've endured. Between Dom's backsliding, Levi's rage and despair at his lack of traction with the Seven of Spades case (not to mention his own darkness), the sweet and funny moments in the third <i>Seven of Spades</i> were few and far between. But they were still present. The escalation of the heat in their intimate moments did seem to have a direct correlation to how spectacularly they were crashing and burning, though, so.. I mean.. thanks? It was hot? Just also frustrating and sad.

<i>Levi's last boyfriend had been a suave, well-educated billionaire successfully managing the North American division of his family's global-spanning hotel empire. That was a tough act to follow for a debt-ridden college dropout with a gambling problem.</i>

As always, though, Kingsbridge leaves us with a cliffhanger that isn't a cliffhanger so much as an 'oh shit' moment. I am so rabidly curious as to who the Seven of Spades is. Each book has solidified just how fascinating this character is and the suspect list is basically.. anyone. Everyone. It's mindboggling and it's no wonder Levi is frustrated and obsessed. I'm right there with you!

"<i>For God's sake, you asshole, I'm trying to tell you I love you!</i>"

I regret waiting so long to start this series but now that I'm left waiting for more, I also regret starting it this soon, #readerstruggles. I'm so looking forward to more of this series and can't wait to see what the author has in store for us, and her characters, next.
