Publisher's Summary

Former Special Forces Green Beret, Sacha “Joker” Wilder, is well-versed on the subject of demolitions. As a silent partner of Four Kings Security, Joker spends his days working alongside his brothers-in-arms and his best boy, Chip - a bomb-sniffing Belgian Malinois with sass. Years of military and private security experience have prepared Joker for almost anything, except the explosive attraction between him and Giovanni Galanos.

When Gio returns from his travels abroad, everyone is charmed by the handsome billionaire philanthropist, but in Joker’s experience, anyone who’s too good to be true usually is. Gio is hiding something, but the more time Joker spends around Gio, the more his walls start crumbling, leaving him exposed and at risk of losing his heart, something he swore he would never do. Love is for suckers, and that’s not him.

For years Gio has dedicated his life to his charity work, helping people around the globe, but when things go horribly wrong during one particular trip, Gio decides it’s time to come home for good. The desire for family, and a certain ex-Green Beret with a chip on his shoulder, has Gio eager to restart his life Stateside. For all of Sacha’s blustering and griping, no one makes Gio feel safer. If only Sacha could see how right they are for each other.

Danger lurks in the shadows as someone sets their sights on Gio, and secrets are forced into the light. If Gio and Joker are to have any kind of future together, they’ll have to face difficult truths, because where love is concerned, it’ll take more than sleight of hand to make things work.

The Kings: Wild Cards series is a spin-off of the Four Kings Security series.

Addictive Story and Compelling Narration

I have absolutely adored all of the Four Kings & Wild Cards books, but I think Joker, Gio, Chip, and Cookie are going to hold a special place.

I absolutely refuse to name a favourite of the two series, I can't, it's impossible, but this book grabbed me from the very beginning and didn't let go.

Greg Bordreaux's narration was spectacular, as usual. By this book, he really has these men, their unique voices and their personality quirks, down and it's immediately identifiable who is talking at any one point in time. Greg has made every character unique, and it adds to the feeling of family that the books exude.

I hope this isn't the end of this series. There were hits of another character, and of course there is the spin off that starts next year (looking forward to that one too).

Sleight of Hand shouldn't be read as a standalone. The world and characters are well and truly fixed at this point and there is just way too much backstory to try to start with this one (and to be able to appreciate all the inside jokes and references, never mind working out who is who). Honestly though, it is certainly no hardship to start from the beginning, so do yourself a favour and start with Ace of Spades.

If you are a regular to this series, you'll love Joker and Gio's story.
