"Funny story about gambling addiction"

Maggie French can't believe she actually made it this far. This is the best of the best and Maggie is so excited to be included in this tournament. But then again, Maggie never could turn down a bet, which is why she's determined to win the poker tournament in this casino in Beaver Canyon. Well enough for now, her bladder is telling her it's time to take a break. Just as she's getting up to leave the poker table, she's accosted by a man. After agreeing to meet at the bar, she goes to take care of business.

Deuce Wiley can't believe the luck. He finally meets the girl of his dreams and is supposed to meet her at the bar, when he ends up with someone's drink all over his pants. She finally gets there and he makes a bet. Needless to say, they end up in his room playing strip poker, which leads to a wild night of the best sex either one of them has had.

How will this play out? Will they end up facing each other in the tournament? Will they be able to keep their minds off sex long enough to play?

BEAVER CANYON: A SWEET DEAL is a very humorous look at the lives of two gamblers. Sahara Kelly and S.L. Carpenter have done an excellent job of handling the addiction with a bit of humor thrown in. I really love the way they worked their names into the story as well. Even though this story does deal with an addiction, and I would say these two were addicts considering they bet on everything from who would be on top to dancing together, it is dealt with in such a way as to not be the focus of the story. The only problem I had with this story was the ending. If you're in the mood for a laugh while you're getting all hot and bothered, don't miss this one.
