Overview

High roller Skye McNally can't seem to go straight. She wants a thirty-day coin from her Gamblers Anonymous group, but the odds have always been against her. Her father is one of New York's biggest bookies and she's spent most of her life betting the over-under, and learning how to double-down.

Vegas may not be the best place for a gambling addict trying to make sense of her life — so Skye escapes to the Nevada desert. There, she has a chance encounter with Mark Shannon, a star quarterback who's made headlines by disappearing weeks before the Super Bowl. For the first time in her life, Skye discovers that there are some things more intoxicating than the rush of numbers.

But the people invested in Mark's career aren't about to lose their golden boy to a bookie's daughter with a checkered past — and they're willing to play hardball. But don't bet against Skye. She's always been a woman who knows how to play the long odds . . . and win.

    Great Read

    An exciting and entertaining story about winning and losing with gambling and love. Well written, one of those few books you pick up and don't want to put back down until you get to the end. I look forward to Tess Hudsons next novel.

    Double Down

    Skye McNally's addiction to gambling was inevitable, somewhat. Being the daughter of a bookie and a resident of Vegas stacks the deck against her. No matter how hard she tries, she just can't seem to break free, until on her way back to Vegas after a visit home, she has a chance encounter with an on the lam football player. She and Mark find themselves falling in love, and better yet, she loses all need to gamble. Yet, love is the biggest gamble of all, and when her past comes to light, Skye may have to lose to save the man she loves more than blackjack from scandal. ................... *** This compelling drama flies by quickly. Skye is an empathetic heroine. Though it is unlikely that many of us share her problem, most of us do have some issue that dominates our lives, and her finding freedom gives everyone hope. Tess Hudson's writing has more of an edge than Susan E Phillips, but there is a similiar feeling to the writing. So, if you enjoy the Stars, you may like this as well. ***

    I doubly loved it!

    This book was just fabulous! Even though I am not much of a gambler, I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Skye, her family, and of course her tangled love life! She is just a delight, and even with all her mishaps, you can't help but like her and the trouble she finds herself in! A great, fun book to read, I couldn't put it down until I found out how it all worked out for her!!!!

    A great reading experience

    Having learned to double down before she knew her times table, Skye McNally grew up in a bookie¿s household as her father was and still is one of New York¿s leading bet takers. Skye resides in Vegas where she tries go straight (not a poker hand) by joining Gambler¿s Anonymous. However, the casino siren calls for her so she falls off the wagon until she decides to flee into the nearby Nevada desert where no cards, dice, wheels, or slots can tempt her............... In the seemingly middle of nowhere trying to detox off of gambling, Skye meets New York Mustangs superstar quarterback Mark Shannon who vanished recently. The duo share a royal straight flush and fall in love, but his handlers have a million dollar item in the Big Apple¿s Golden Boy and they will never allow a bookie¿s tainted daughter to devastate that image................ DOUBLE DOWN is an interesting look at gambling addiction starring a likable female protagonist. Skye drives the intriguing story line with her need to wager seemingly part of her DNA make-up although some of it is obviously caused by nurturing. Her need will remind readers of Altman¿s California Split with the two compulsive gamblers never satiated even with the big score. Once her addictive personality decides to bet that Mark is her sure thing big score, no one will stop her pursuit of him except if he punts her out of his life as his advisors insist he must.....................
