Having read “The Beautiful People : New Orleans”, I had become very familiar with the 4 main characters of the “Beautiful People” series – Vanessa, Colin, Donovan and Yen – and was intent on catching up on their exploits in subsequent books as well. So this book, set in  Las Vegas, does not disappoint at all.Cheril N. Clarke is obviously a very good writer, and very smart as well – she knows exactly what her readers want. Her readers want a well written “guilty pleasure” - something they can buy for a very low price, read in double quick time, getting a ringside view of how the Bold and the Beautiful – young people who have it all – looks, money, professional success, sex appeal -live their life.There is no great wisdom to be found in this book, except that it's fabulous to be young, rich and sexy! The writer does not seek to win any prize for literature with this – she just seeks to entertain, and wants her readers to have fun. And she succeeds brilliantly at that. And trust me – nobody can fault Cheril with her writing – which is simply flawless. She doesn't believe her characters are perfect – for instance, Yen has a serious drug problem, and is just like any other junkie in this, desperate and sad – her wealth and beauty do not make her any better at dealing with this.Vanessa is most alluring and sexy, sort of girlfriend anybody – man or woman – would like to have. Colin is a fun guy to be friends with, and Donovan is perhaps the least likeable character (maybe it's just me!); Yen, despite her drug problems, is a cute, sweet girl.Las Vegas is the 5th main character in this book, and Cheril describes the Sin City beautifully, bringing it alive – the night clubs, the strip clubs, the pole dancing, the fabulous hotels – you just wish you were there yourself! Another fun book by Cheril, and I'll just pounce on every book written by her!
