Quickie Review: Wild Card

Wild Card Wild Card by Aleah Barley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

2.5 stars

He might have been a priest—once upon a time—but he definitely wasn’t a saint. 

This had a whiff of the movie Bad Boys. She's an ex-stripper now showgirl who witnesses a dirty cop deal that goes bad and cop ends up dead. She steals the bag of ill gotten goods, she doesn't know what is in the bag just that it is valuable. 

I hear you, why would you take the bag??? This is why none of you will ever be rescued by a former priest turned detective! 

The guy is mostly why I'm writing up this quick review, he's a 37yr old virgin and since that is like a white whale to some of you romance readers, ALERT! 

Irish Catholic oldest brother was priest for most of his life but ended up beating a man to a veg state (he managed to grow up boxing somehow in all this) when he found out the man was abusing his son. So he decides to drop the robes and become a cop. 

There's danger with a, kind of, shored up action plot, a couple points that didn't make sense, and of course the sexual tension. She's funny and chaotic, there's sex scenes. 

Nothing to take seriously but yeah, a 37yr old male virgin. Have at it, friends!
