Glory went to Las Vegas to win some money. Her plan was to return to her hometown a winner. She did not plan to leave Las Vegas accompanied by an infuriating, handsome man nor did she plan for her life to be turned on its axis.All of a sudden, Glory and Luke find themselves on the run. While keeping their attraction in check and figuring out the reason behind Luke's attempted kidnapping, Glory and Luke try to keep once step ahead of the bad guys. Through it all their attraction deepens and their chemistry comes out to play.I loved the way Aleah Barley went about bringing Glory and Luke together. They bickered, laughed and worried together and underneath it all their connection strengthened and their attraction flared. I enjoyed them together. There was the flirtatious banter, the honest interactions and the easy conversational that flowed between them.Both characters were interesting to get to know. Glory with her quirky personality, sense of humor and vulnerable emotions, was the perfect match for the stubborn, over-protective, alpha-male type that was Luke. I loved him. He was fun and caring and completely adorable in his attraction to Glory.The author did a great job of keeping me interesting in the story from start to finish. I not only enjoyed the dialogue and the romance, I also found the plot entertaining. It wasn't something overtly complicated, but the author paced it right and played it out effectively. I enjoyed Glory and Luke's confusion about what was happening and how their 'adventure' was affected by it.All in all, Leaving Las Vegas was a sweet, romantic read with a little bit of a mystery, a lot of chemistry and a lot of fun!I received this title from the publisher in exchange of my honest opinion.
