Only in Vegas. Lindsey Brookes.Review from Jeannie Zelos Book Reviews.I liked the sound of this, a good fun romance. Well it was, but its a bit like an Angel Delight romance, its sweet and light, enjoyable when you consume it but when finished you feel a bit empty, wanting something more.Angelina (Angel) is a sweet girl but somehow I found her a bit too unreal, her Ex was a dope, ratfink etc but she's a big girl and really needed to get a grip and do her job....she's not a child so why act like one. Her best friend Trey too – good guy but really, able to drop everything just like that?Anyway – despite my feelings they did go to Vegas together, inevitably had some hot erotic sex, and then returned home. The usual, there are subsequent problems that need sorting before a HEA. Its a decent novel, well written, just that bit too light and implausible for me. I didn't feel the emotion, the fun and happiness, the tension of the will they/won't they? I didn't feel sad when things went wrong – it just didn't move me and for me that emotion is essential to my enjoyment of the novel. There's nothing bad about it, hence my three star ok rating, but nothing for me to make it special. There are many people who like light and fluffy, easy to read romance though and for them this will be perfect, just not for me :(It's priced at 1.94/$3.11 for 271 pages so if it's the type of read you enjoy its good value for money.Stars: Three.NB: ARC supplied via Netgalley
