I'm not quite sure where to begin with this beautiful love story. It's so different from the novella Sin at Sea. Sin at Sea was fun and crazy and yet sweet while Vixen in Vegas was heartwarming and loving with a touch of sadness, an endearing ending to a wonderful love story.Without him, my heart is the most useless piece of me.Alysin isn't a gambler of any kind. For the most part she has her life together, just as she wants it. She calls the shots...no one else. Even her BFF, Jolie, follows Alysin's lead. As a quick way to nicely refuse a man who advances on her, she meets Mr. Bedroom Eyes (aka Mr. BE) pretending to be married to him. Their one week fake marriage comes to an end only to discover that they have completely fallen for each other and plan to meet in one week in Vegas.I don't do love. Only now...with BE, maybe I did. All I knew for certain was that one week wasn't enough. We had more story to tell, more life to live, more experiences to be had.Vixen in Vegas picks up right where Sin at Sea leaves off. Although she's excited about her and Jolie's new move to Vegas, Alysin is wondering if she wants to go along with such a risk of putting her heart out there, afraid of getting it hurt. Thank goodness for her BFF who keeps her in line and talks her off the ledge of making a possible mistake of not giving love a chance.  She does it, Alysin puts herself out there for a wonderful man who loves her so deeply. And as I called it in my review for Sin at Sea, Mr. BE does have a secret, though it wasn't shocking to me, it still tugged at my heart. What got me more was how his secret got resolved.My heart. At least I think it was my heart. There was this wide, open ache in my chest like a cannon ball had plowed through it. My head was pounding as I tried to process it all.This sequel might not have the angst some novels have but my goodness it is still quite a story. I adored every word, every scene, every moment. I'm a sucker for a good soulmate story and honestly you need a break from drama and to just kick back and lose yourself in a hot charming `forever'. So I suggest you do that with Alysin and Mr. Bedroom Eyes' story, you won't regret it. And yes, Mr. BE has a name which is revealed in Vixen in Vegas, but I'm not going to ruin that fun discovery for you.This man had me under his spell for sure.Emma Nichols certainly won me over with her debut series. You can guarantee I will read her future stories.
