This is a very fast paced novella that takes place over the New year in Vegas.

It's a brothers best friend and crush to lovers story and you can really feel the angst from years ago come into play as they meet up again for the first time in ten years.

The brother is a piece of work as you get the idea that he knows they are meant to be together and just happens to help them along. It makes a change from the brothers who are not happy when relationships turn into more.

I would be happy to read more from this author.

Read the full review on Bookaholics Not-So-Anonymous.

This was short and somewhat sweet and both Eliza and Chris were main characters that were easy to like, though I must say that something Chris said in the story had my eyebrows desperately trying to reach my hairline and found the whole thing just...weird (what Chris said, not my eyebrow thing). Chris was already hurt once when Eliza and her parents moved away without as much as a goodbye (but then he had made it pretty clear that things between the two of them wouldn't progress any further since he was leaving for college) and so I get his need to put the brakes on whatever they were both feeling after their night together. One Night in Vegas was a pretty good second chance romance read. I'm giving this one 3.5 stars, rounded off to four stars. ♥

I enjoyed this little novella. Eliza has had a crush on her brothers best friend, Chris, since they were young. They haven't seen each other in ten years. When she comes back to Vegas for two weeks to visit her brother, she runs into Chris. I love a good best friends brother storyline and this one was good! I kind of wish this was a full length novel with an epilogue. My only complaint about this novella
Spoiler Chris's thoughts on birth control - banking his sperm and getting a vasectomy so that he can have control of when his wife will get pregnant. Say what!?!?! I thought that was kind of crazy but maybe that's just me.
Overall, I really enjoyed this quick story!

Short, but cute. Cute story about a high school crush on her brother's best friend now getting a chance to become real a few years later.

Fun to read, liked how the story developed. Yes, predictable, but isn't a happy ending pretty much mandatory in a romance? wish it was longer, this would have been great as a full length novel. I very much enjoy this author and am be looking forward to more books by her.

A short, feel good, sexy read about two ex-flings bumping into each other after so many years, followed by some really hot outdoor sex. YES, you heard that right -- OUTDOOR SEX!!!

When Eliza returns home to Las Vegas to spend New Years with her brother, she didn't plan on him cancelling on her due to his workaholic antics, and suggests his best friend take his place instead, she sure wasn't ready to see the guy who once broke her heart ages ago. She says she's over him... or so she thinks, until they cross paths once again.

Christian hadn't meant to break her heart when they were younger, but they were too young and fresh off their minds. His point being, they wouldn't survive a long distance relationship the moment he would head off to college.

I enjoyed the chemistry between Eliza and Christian and the second chance romance. And like I said, the outdoor sex -- BEAUTIFUL. Definitely an great, quick read. Recommended!
