When a Texan Gambles
A peek inside the second "Wife Lottery" book
It all started when she got thrown off the wagon train. Now, a crook is dead and Sarah Andrews has been raffled off in a "Wife Lottery." That seems bad enough-- until she discovers her new groom with a knife in his back.
He just barely survives--and now if Sarah doesn't get him out of town fast, someone is going to make sure Sam Gatlin doesn't live long enough to enjoy the honeymoon. No matter what he may have done, or how many enemies he has, Sarah feels she owes him. After all, he saved her from a life in prison. But never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that this dangerously attractive Texan would steal her heart and make her want to take the biggest gamble of all....

"Jodi Thomas is a magical storyteller. She packs her stories with vivid settings, delightful characters and just enough realism to portray the hardships that those in the 1800’s faced. Not every romance author points out the grittier details such as men having no teeth left by the age of 40. While that tidbit does not paint a glamorous picture, it is accurate. If you haven’t picked up one of Jodi’s books, what are you waiting for? No fan of historical western romance should pass her up!"

"WHEN A TEXAN GAMBLES is the second book in Jodi Thomas's new Texas trilogy, following the poignant THE TEXAN'S WAGER. Both Sarah and Sam are wonderful characters, but it's Sam -- strong, brave, and oh-so-lonely -- who will tug at readers' hearts. . .Another wonderfully-told tale of Texas, WHEN A TEXAN GAMBLES is exciting, uplifting, and beautifully written. . .Once again, Jodi Thomas has kept me up reading past my bedtime! Don't
miss this terrific novel.

"This second book in Ms. Thomas' Wife Lottery series stays lively and entertaining as Sarah gains strength and confidence in herself, and Sam realizes he no longer has to be a loner. I loved this story!

"The Texas setting is familiar territory to Thomas's fans, as is the book's lively dialogue and endearing homespun characters ... this bright, character-centered tale should entertain fans of the Old West."
Publisher's Weekly
"4 STARS...With earthy, gritty characters, an adventurous plot and an understanding of human nature, Thomas delivers another entertaining , touching, delightful romance with an emotional intensity that warms the heart."
Kathe Robin, Romantic Times Magazine
"The second "Wife Lottery" tale (see THE TEXAN'S WAGER) is a superb western romance that moves at a fast pace, is filled with plenty of action and contains a strong cast. The key, besides the fully developed lead protagonists, are the townsfolk, the kids, and those foes wanting to kill the hero. Each one enhances the understanding of the inner values of a pair who on the surface seem inappropriate together yet share similar ethics. Readers will look forward to the final novel in what is so far a delightful series focusing on players with principles."
