Review: A Vegas wedding romance done right!

Sweet Southern Betrayal is so much more than your typical, "Oh crap, we woke up married in Vegas" book. Robin Covington wrote a story that mixed all of the elements you'd expect from the trope with a good dose of "apocalypse sex" (holy hotness), strong bonds of family/friendship, and real (make you cry) honest romance. I enjoyed Risa and Teague's story so much because it never felt rushed or forced. The characters were honest in both their dialogue and actions. Watching a "by the plan", straight-laced lawyer take on a mob boss to protect the woman he "cares" about was an absolutely satisfying way to spend my day! I loved Risa's attitude, too. She was such a strong person & I was so glad to see her stand her ground, taking pride in the fact that she had managed to turn her life around. Hooray for a heroine with a backbone!A few of my favorite "Teague" lines from the book:-"You're the only woman I want to wake up with in a scary Elvis motel."-"You break me, every time,"...This is definitely a book that romance readers want to pick up! Robin Covington's "Boys Are Back in Town" novels are the perfect blend of steamy romance!
