Dicing With Danger by Charles Raines
Hot on the tail of Stranger In Translation, I read Dicing With Danger, fully expecting to captivated and enthralled - I wasn't disappointed. Thoroughly deserving of four stars. I was left very hot under the collar!
I bought my copy from Amazon.

A much shorter story than Charles Raines's other stories, it packs a punch, above and below the belt - so to speak. I was instantly transported to the railway carriage; Charles Raines has an uncanny knack of invoking the moment effortlessly. The story has a glorious twist and I am not about to spoil it but suffice to say, it was well done and it didn't feel contrived.
All of the characters were well drawn - for me, to feel a character is essential; I want to smell them and taste them - you'll forgive me for waxing lyrical - these chaps will have you panting.
Characters without plot will always remain just that - to come alive, they need a story which is engrossing. When you feel your body swaying to the rocking of the railway carriage, you know you're in the story.
I can't wait to start the other two Charles Raines's stories which I have downloaded in anticipation of the weekend - The Man With the Mandolin and Falling For Forever.
