What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas-- *cue sound of a screeching DJ's turndisk....*And OMG, thank goodness everything doesn't remain confined to Sin City because then we'd have missed the absolutely amazing road trip this story turned out to be. With non-stop action right from the start (and seriously, could it have been any other way? The trip takes place in an Aston Martin Vanquish throughout. And yes, that's the James Bond car!), there's never a dull moment in this tale.I loved Glory's character. The funny thing is, we get to see her as a good two shoes who's always thinking of consequences and being utterly rational, yet, the first thing Luke gets asked by one of her acquaintances when he mentions they got into trouble is along the lines of "what did she do now?"The girl's got heart, though, and guts. To take on crazy stalker chicks with gun-toting mercenary crews all while saving the life of a man who accused her of cheating? Go, girl power!And speaking of the man in question, can anyone spell swoon-worthy? Right, that's spelled L-u-k-e, Luke. Another character I loved, because he just felt so real and to watch him turn from the cold magnate into a flesh and blood man who falls in love with unpredictable Glory is a journey to cherish.Have I mentioned the many laughs in there? When Glory starts going on her speeches about the town of Beaux and its inhabitants? I haven't laughed so much in a long time.All in all, a delightful, wonderful story that will keep you riveted throughout and making you turn the page (or flicking the screen!) to find out what happens next. And next. And next.... Take a gamble on this book; you'll not end up the loser, I guarantee this!
