I would suggest if you read this book, skip reading any potential spoiler type reviews so you can just let it happen naturally.Successful self-made business women Holliday Hughes (love the name!) is headed to Vegas for a business convention and some R and R. Before leaving for her Vegas weekend she meets her new neighbor hunky underwear model, Danny. As if she isn't lucky enough to live by the beach and next door to an underwear model-for crying out loud, she meets hot casino employee Jack Dalton in Vegas!Jack is instantly smitten and being the suave hotness he is gets Holli to go back to his room at the hotel. Holli is hoping for a crazy break from reality with her one night stand, only problem is Jack doesn't want just one night and Holli thinks she might want more also. Their weekend escapade is complicated when Holli finds out there is more to Jack's life than he told her, and a lie by omission is still a lie.Back in the real world after Vegas, Danny also has designs on a confused Holli. Does she want more with Jack? Should she allow herself to become attached to this enigma that is Jack Dalton or should she pursue more than friendship with Danny?The book was well paced and flowed well. We didn't get mired down into some of the usual side story lines like these genre books sometimes do. I loved that Holli was a strong woman and had a great sense of self. She was determined to be herself and not lose that no matter what else was happening around her.Some of the "demons" from Jack's past felt a little forced to me, and I wasn't crazy about the parents side story. I just wasn't buying his dad being so hung up over a possible past.However, this book was a non stop read for me and kept me up past my bedtime two nights in a row! Just had to have "one more chapter..."
