This is a good, fun read that I'd suggest for anyone. The romance sizzles, the plot intrigues, and the characters develop into real people. I highly recommend that you read this book as well as any others by the up-and-coming author Pat Pritchard.

Gambler Cal Preston is used to playing games with his money and his security, but never with his heart. But when he wins half a share of a ranch in a card game, he quickly finds himself drawn to the widow who owns the other half, Lily McCord. But as the two fight each other for control, they also have to fight men trying to take the ranch away, and the feelings that grow between them with each stolen glance and touch.

Pat Pritchard writes a real winner in Luck of the Draw. Not only does the sexual tension between Lily and Cal sizzle, but she paces out the development of their relationship in an easy, natural way. This book had plenty of moments that made me smile and moments where I couldn't have put the book down in the house were burning around me. A great read, especially if you like historical Westerns.
