\"\"<\/a>Although I’ve already read the pre-edited version since I’m lucky enough to be one of Gem’s beta-readers, I’ve got the finished version of this spicy western on my desktop, taunting me, telling me I don’t really have to write anything. I MUST read Five Card Stud by Gem Sivad.<\/p>\n

If you’ve not had the pleasure of sampling Gem’s work, I suggest you drop whatever you’re doing and head over to her website to read some excerpts. Go ahead. I’ll wait.<\/p>\n

Gem Sivad’s Website<\/a><\/p>\n

See? I wasn’t kidding. Gem’s voice is so completely perfect, I don’t think I’ve ever read an author who sounds like she just stepped out of the nineteenth century the way she does.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here’s the blurb for Five Card Stud:<\/p>\n

When bounty hunter Sam McCallister sees Eden Pace playing poker for the first time, he loses all interest in the cards; instead, the thought of playing stud with the lady gambler stirs his cock to life. Eden\u2019s the prettiest woman and the best card sharp Sam\u2019s ever met. Good thing he has a few cards up his sleeve.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eden\u2019s doing her own outlaw hunting. She\u2019s on the trail of her husband\u2019s killer and Sam\u2019s in her way. To get free of this hardheaded, softhearted, gorgeous man, Eden tries strip poker and naked truth-or-dare, but when Sam ups the stakes, carnal submission and desire are unleashed.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Sam discovers Eden\u2019s wanted for murder, he figures his bed is the safest place for her. But taking Eden prisoner isn\u2019t as easy as Sam expects. He\u2019s in a high-stakes poker game with lust on the table and his heart on the line, because one taste of Eden just isn\u2019t enough.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

See how Eden looks so proper on that cover? Look closely at her eyes. There’s a passionate woman behind that fan, and she sure doesn’t hide behind any sense of Victorian propriety.\u00c2\u00a0 Check out the trailer, made by yours truly:<\/p>\n
