What Reviewers Are Saying...

"Lily and the Gambler is a simmering tale of hot sensuality between one lovely lady and a most accomplished gambler whose passion burns between the sheets and lights up the pages. The storyline is well developed and researched, and the characters remain true to their time. The vivid imagery that Ms. Lamont paints draws you back to a time long gone but one very exciting, challenging and sexy period in American history. King is so adorable; realizing he more than likes Lily, he sets out to win her heart resulting in one very heartwarming and humorous scene. With the twists and turns in Lily and the Gambler this story will surely keep you on your toes and wanting to discover how these two feisty characters make out. The added bonus is that there’s a sub-plot of another romance between two secondary characters. Please note that this title is part of the Western Roundup AmberPax™ Collection from Amber Quill Press." -Aggie Tsirikas, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

"This was a sweet romance. Though short, the story was well thought out and Lyndi Lamont did a good job of creating her characters. Lily and King were a really good match, as King brought out the wicked side in Lily, while Lily brought out the sweet and romantic side in King. I like the “western” setting, when California was still considered part of the “Wild West.” This is a quick read but it’s a lot of fun and very romantic." -Sarah, Fallen Angel Reviews
"LILY AND THE GAMBLER is a fast read that brings a whole lot of passion and fire to the old west. I have read a lot of historical romances, but none with a heroine like Lily. She was passionate, brave, and I think the perfect match for Creighton Calloway. Lyndi Lamont has done an exceptional job in writing a story that tells a different side to the women in the old west." - Dina Smith, Romance Junkies
Rating: 4 CUPS
"Lily and the Gambler.. are about to make a romance that defies all boundaries of reality and scorches the bed sheets at the same time. This was a great read."-Sheryl, reviewer for Coffee Time Romance

"This is a wonderful story with two slightly extraordinary characters coming together and realizing that they are meant for each other. I enjoyed the fact that everything works out well for all involved. A true love story for all romance readers." -- Glenda K. Bauerle, The Romance Studio
"Lily and the Gambler by Lyndi Lamont is a spicy read. Lily is an adventurous woman who is hiding her true personality under widow’s weeds. She has to make a decision to marry for security and respectability, or to take a gamble on love. King is a master player. He takes the opportunities he’s given and works them to his best advantage. He’s not above a little manipulation when it comes to getting the woman he loves. I liked how much fun these characters had together when they were being their true selves. The attraction between them was palpable and Lily is no proper Englishwoman in the bedroom! Lily and the Gambler is a hands-down, winner-take-all story." - Delia, Joyfully Reviewed
