Double Down by MB Austin





This book is one hot mess that had us confused and confounded most of the time.

There is Maji Rios who worked as a covert operator but is now suffering from PTSD and is somehow there, doing something in Majorca. There is Celeste, in-house physician at Gran Balearico a luxury resort cum casino. There is Erlea, a Spanish pop star with a reputation (which seems deserved) of being a wild child. Maji is attracted to Reimi, the dealer in the casino where Maji plays regularly. Erlea is scheduled to stay in the resort for an extended period performing there to...okay not sure about the specific reason...but she's there. Celeste has just come out of a physically abusive relationship with her last girlfriend and is all kinds of attracted to Maji and Erlea. There are supercilious managers, obnoxious stage managers, laid back choreographers, maverick make-up artists and a host of other characters thrown into the mix. And yeah! Maji and Erlea resemble each other. And there are death threats. And super saves.

Celeste and Erlea are both really likeable which makes it a little depressing that they couldn’t have got a more coherent romance. The author also writes attraction and chemistry so well. But…

This is one book that can be given a wide berth.
