This was a short read but fun.  Alisa is a much more complex character that she seems based on appearances.  She is finally working to get her life on track and do something she wants to go with her future.  As a former model, turned party girl many people do not expect too much.  Luckily her father supports her dreams and is willing to help her get started as long as she cuts back on escapades that like to land her in the tabloids.On a flight to Las Vegas to finalize a couple more items that will be perfect for her store she meets Liam Bryson.  Liam is another very interesting character.  He is a major success in his field and he built himself up to this level against many odds.  He is however, still basically alone.Watching the sparks fly between Alisa and Liam, before they really even know who the other was, just strangers on a plane, was lots of fun.  They fight, disagree and eventually end up liking each other in just about the course of one day.  The question is, can this become a relationship or is it just a one night affair to forget about when real life comes calling.Once I started I did not want to put this one down.  The characters were great.  The story kept moving and didnt lag.  And I cared about Alisa and Liam, and wanted to see what happened to them.  Even the supporting cast of characters was great and perfectly placed to be a part of the story but not detract from the main storyline.  I am looking forward to checking out more in this series and the one that came before it.
