Review: Hotter Than the Movie of the Same Plot
Rating: 4 out of 5

I was a little taken back by this book as it is definitely more than a nod to the movie "Indecent Proposal." Same plot as the movie a young couple madly in love go to Vegas hoping to strike it rich only to have that dream dashed and end up with nothing but their love for each other. For Daisy that just isn't enough and after breaking down all of her wants and desires to her fiancé Pete, it isn't enough for him either. This is where Zillionaire Aiden walks in. He's rich, good-looking, single, bored and looking for a new game to play in a town he's already conquered. Daisy and Pete are just ripe for the picking with their bright eyes straight out of the dim country into the blinding lights of Sin City. Aiden takes advantage of the situation to form a contract where he gets one night (ONE HOT NIGHT) with Daisy for a million dollars. After some rather causal thought, the lovebirds decide to take the Zillionaire up on his offer.Fast forward to 24 hours later and all the regrets, shame, disappointment and in the case of Aiden - attraction rears up before the players like a second ace on a blackjack table. What's left of the story deals with knowing when to hold em and knowing when to fold em, knowing when to walk away and when to run. Daisy never counted the money when sitting at the table there'll be time enough for counting when the dealings done.The story could benefit from a close edit due to the many misplaced words and misspelled words. Not entirely bothersome, but could have been better.I wouldn't call this story a romantic one as it deals more with consequences than romance. It's at times heartbreaking and will make you really hate all the characters to some degree at different parts of the story. But by the end some if not all will have made it back into your favor - you be the judge.I would recommend this book based in part because it is a good although unoriginal read, but mostly for its follow-up "Daisy's Choice" which is a wonderful read, but best understood from reading this one first.
