NOW AVAILABLE!
Blurb
Hollywood actress, Ashlyn Roberts, just had the worst week of her life. Her ex released a sex tape of them and just when she was convinced her current boyfriend was a keeper for standing by her side, he breaks up with her at a friend’s wedding. She’s planning to drown her sorrows in booze when she meets a sexy stranger as she’s leaving the wedding and they end up in Vegas, married.
Cash Crawford is offered a dream job working with his brother as a junior talent agent. He’ll put his shiny new law degree to good use and make a bunch of money in the process. His first task is simple: Keep Ashlyn Roberts out of trouble and don’t sleep with her.
Which might be kind of tough, since they definitely consummated their Vegas wedding.
Will this one night stand end in the quickie divorce they promised each other? Or will they realize they got lucky in love?
Excerpt
She
pulls me into a limo. “Where are we going?” I ask. Not that I care. At
this point, I’d go just about anywhere with this girl. She’s amazing.
And I don’t just mean the sex—which was practically mind-blowing. She’s
gorgeous and funny as shit.
“Vegas.”
“I’m surprised you’d want to go there after—” She grabs my lips in her fingertips and shuts them, giving me fish lips.
“Rule
number one,” she says. “No talking about the past. Other than I’m going
to say that the last two times I’ve been in Vegas have been big
disappointments. Give me a minute. I need to make a call.”
“Who are you calling?”
“Carter
Crawford. He doesn’t know it yet, but we’re going to borrow his plane. I
happen to know he’s not leaving here until tomorrow afternoon. Do you
know him?”
“The
best man?” I ask. I consider telling her that I know Carter quite well,
since he’s my brother, but I don’t. She wants a no-names-kind-of night.
Which is funny considering everyone knows the actress Ashlyn Roberts,
who’s well-known for her blockbuster movie roles, red carpet antics, and
bubbly personality.
“After
the breakup with Luke and before I started dating Zach, Carter took me
to Vegas,” she says, causing me to tense up. Just the thought of her
fucking anyone other than me—particularly my brother—threatens to rip me
apart. How can I possibly feel so crazy jealous over her already? It
was just sex. Wasn’t it? “I thought our trip would be romantic with a
whole lot of hot and sweaty, you know, but nothing happened between us.
His brother, Cade, is my agent, and he was just trying to cheer me up.”
I
breathe easier, then let my lips graze down her neck. “If hot, sweaty,
romantic Vegas is what you want, Hotass. It’s what you’ll get.”
“I need a wig though.”
“Why?”
“So
no one recognizes me, silly. I have a fake ID. Sometimes, I just want
to go out without it being a scene. Tonight is one of those nights.”
“I bet we can find you a wig in Vegas.”
“Ha, you’re right,” she says as I pull her on my lap and kiss her again.
We fuck on the plane.
Twice.
Drink some more.
When we land in Vegas, we go directly to a store where she sends me in to buy a wig.
“What kind?” I ask.
“Long and blond.”
“Hot,” I say.
“While you do that, I’ll get us set up in a hotel.”
When I get back in the town car, she tells the driver which hotel to take us to.
“I’ve
never stayed here before,” she says, pulling on the wig. “You go get
the key, okay? I told them your name was Harry Tripping and not to ask
for ID.”
“That’s funny.”
We ride the elevator to one of the upper floors and enter a sprawling suite. “Very nice. You have good taste.”
“Only the best for our wild one-night stand.”
A butler appears out of nowhere. “Anything you need?”
“Nothing he can’t give me,” she says, pulling on my tie and giving me a naughty grin.
I send the butler away then lead her over to the windows. “Look at this view.”
“Ohmigawd! Look! The Bellagio fountains are starting!” She leans against the glass and looks down. “Wow. This is kinda trippy.”
I
push my hips into her ass, somehow ready for round—hell, I lost count.
Two times at the wedding, a blow job in the limo, joined the mile high
club twice, so round—six. Doesn’t matter though, my Johnson is raring to
go. I wrap my arms around her waist, kiss her neck, and finger her
while she watches the fountains rise. She reaches back and slides her
hand down my pants.
“You’re hard again,” she says, seemingly surprised.
“You turn me on,” I whisper.
“Do me right here. I feel like I should say your name—but this is a still a no-names-kind-of night, right?”
“That’s
what you wanted. I’m still calling you Hotass because, you”—I lift her
skirt, slide off her panties, and slap her naked butt—“have a very hot
ass.”
“Oh!”
she says when I spank her. She guides me into her and as I start
thrusting, she bends over more—putting her arms out and her hands flat
against the glass.
“This
is like a fantasy,” she says, moving against me in time with the
fountains. “Do you think when they do the big finale you can come?”
“I’d rather make you come.”
“Spank me again, then.”
I pull back, but not out, giving myself just enough space to smack her ass before plunging deep inside her.
“Oh, god! Do it harder! Oh, fuck, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes!”
And just before the fountains stop, she collapses against the window.

My Vegas Love Review . . .
Lately my personal life has been stressful and my reading life has been lack luster, so I didn't have any expectations in regards to this story. In the end I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. It was a bit predictable but it was still sweet and charming.
Ashlyn Roberts is a known star but has bad luck when it comes to her love life. She so desperately wants to be loved, that she chooses the wrong man over and over again.
Cash Crawford isn't afraid of commitment but he won't give up having fun as well. After being single for a bit and a new job, he comes home where he meets a drunk actress.
This encounter was supposed to be a one night, no strings attached thing, but ends up being a quicky Vegas wedding instead. Fate is on these two sides and lo and behold, Cash's new job is babysitting Ashlyn on her job. He's supposed to keep her on the straight and narrow. He plans to do that and so much more.
Ashlyn and Cash immediately fall Vegas love for each other but want more after. However, that isn't always easy, especially for these two. Because this is a celebrity romance, we are loaded with a bunch of drama where it comes to their lives.
~ I'm a dyslexic lover. I can't decide if I love him or hate him.~
Sure it was cute and charming but it also had some elements that never win me over. Like the dreaded martyr moments when one gives up on their happiness for the other. Blah blah blah. (insert eye roll here). And as well as the endearment Hotass. This is one of those names that people will either love or hate. I get why it appeared and the reason for it, but it was hard to swallow at times.
Take those elements away, then it was a cute, charming yet predictable love story. I feel with all the other characters in this book, there is loads of potential for more. Fingers crossed this book turns into a series.
