I
woke up in Vegas with a hangover and a ring on my finger.
At my last recollection, the bachelor party was off to a great start. During
dinner I met sexy celebrity Chef Oliver who was far more intriguing than his
surly public persona let on.
Afterwards, my buddies and I set out to bar-hop at some of Sin City’s biggest
hot spots. To my surprise, I ran into Oliver again as he was unwinding by
tossing back drinks at a bar. What followed was a hot night of dancing and
drinking… and a very confusing morning.
Not only did we spend the night together, we got married. Oliver is quick to
suggest divorce, but I’m not ready to give up so easily. We may be opposites in
every way imaginable, but there’s a chemistry between us I can’t deny or
ignore.
Can I convince Oliver to give our unlikely romance a chance? Or will what
happened in Vegas end in Vegas?

I waved the bartender down, a skinny blond twink who looked like he would have been better suited to dancing on the bar than staffing it, and ordered a Bahama Mama. A moment later, a familiar voice rang in my ears, low and husky.
“Long night?”
I looked up, startled. Seated next to me was Oliver. Sexy, straitlaced Oliver, with his dark hair and scruffy beard and gray eyes. He was wearing a clingy white t-shirt and black jeans, and damned if the guys weren’t right. He did have washboard abs, if the rippling muscles under his thin cotton shirt were to be believed. “What are you doing here?” I glanced around to see if he was with someone, but I didn’t see anyone else. Just Chef Oliver.
Oliver chuckled, his tone rich and luxurious, sending waves of desire through me. He leaned in as he spoke. “Decided to take the night off early. See, I had a really challenging client tonight and after he left, I figured I deserved a few drinks and a little relaxation.” He took a sip of his drink and raised his eyebrows.
“Oh yeah?” The flirtation in his words was clear. “I had a rough night, too. I had to plan a party and there was a lot of pressure to make everything perfect. I had to deal with this hot-tempered celebrity chef. Luckily, the chef turned out to be outstanding. Provided great customer service. Really top-notch.” The bartender slid my drink to me and I nodded in thanks before taking a sip.
A moment later, Oliver twisted on his barstool to face me, leaning even closer. “I’m glad he took good care of you.”
I shivered, my nipples hardening under my shirt and my cock following suit. I was still wearing the white button-down and blue slacks I’d gone to Hidden Cove in, but the tie had long since been loosened and draped around my neck, and I hoped both the slacks and the shirt disguised my arousal. With a nod, I grinned at him. “He did. He took really good care of me.” Oliver’s tongue darted out to wet his bottom lip and my throat tightened with desire. Before he could speak again, I blurted out a request. “Dance with me?”

– ☆☆☆☆
I read the first book in the series but this one could be read as a standalone
with no problem. It was a fast read, only took two hours to finish. It was
predictable, as this plot usually is. I loved Oliver from the start, reminded
me of a famous chef we all see on TV. Cam I couldn't connect with for some
reason. Cam kept calling to make sure things were perfect with the dinner but
he's a go with the flow guy and that didn't match anything else about him,
especially his actions after the dinner. I loved watching Oliver change, and I
liked that I finished it so fast, just wish Cam would have connected with me
and the plot wasn't so predictable.

3.5 stars of hot fun
This is the second book in the series and follows on from the previous one, but as it involves a new pairing, it could be read as a standalone too.
Cam is organising the Vegas bachelor party and wants it to be perfect, including a very swanky dinner – resulting in him contacting the chef, Oliver, multiple times. When they meet, the chemistry, which probably made him keep calling, is definitely evident. When they find themselves in the same bar... well the rest is Vegas history!
As they then have to decide how to deal with the situation, we are sure that the stars are aligning, and have to hope that they get that too.
This is a light and quick read which was fun and highly enjoyable due to its familiar storyline being done well.
