High Stakes was a touching, poignant reunion romance between two people desperately in need of one another. Although I thought Colby's reason for leaving Danni to be lame, there is no question as to the depth of his regret over past actions. Even before he learns the truth of the past, he still wishes to reconcile with Danni. Danni, meanwhile, had been left to face the town without Colby. J. T. Schultz has written a story where the pain that these two characters feel is palpable, and as a reader, I felt invested in having them find their way back together. This is not only a "keeper", but a definite "re-reader"!
