Hell on Heels by John G. Hartness
3.0
The rocky economy hasn't been kind to Vegas, but Ty Morgan is determined to go down fighting. As the manager of Hotel Rodeo he knows that he needs to bring in more interests rather than gaming. After the owner of the hotel verbally agrees to take a risk and invest a fortune into the hotel, the unthinkable happens and the owner's daughter steps in to run the show. As soon has her heels hit the tarmac in Vegas, Ty Morgan butts heads with Monica Brandt.
Monica Brandt has only known her father for a few years, but she is much closer to him than her mother and grandparents. Growing up raised by nannies and boarding school, Monica climbs the corporate ladder in New York to gain approval from her family and her fiance. But when her father is in trouble, she drops everything and heads to Vegas.
Whether or not you're going to enjoy this book depends on how you like to read a series. If you enjoy a set of characters having a complete story, and then the following stories featuring new or secondary characters, then this story may be irritating to you. It's clear that the entire series will feature Ty and Monica and will follow their plight with Hotel Rodeo.
This story doesn't really have a clear and satisfying wrap up. For me, that's essential for an enjoyable story. The story ends on a cliff-hanger, and the state of Ty and Monica's relationship at the end of the book didn't leave me with warm fuzzy feelings for either of them.
There isn't a clear story arc to this book, and I think that negatively influenced me and how I felt about the story. I still wasn't even sure I liked the characters. It seemed as if the author chopped the book in half and called it a series, and I don't think it worked well.
