I guess many women have done the walk of shame .... although I don't know how many have with a new wedding ring after a wild night in Vegas.  Alex wakes up hungover with a beautiful woman in his bed whose smells like lavender and makes him smile.  He gets in the shower and assumes she's like every other woman he sleeps with and doesn't plan on thinking about her again.  When he enters his room , Melanie is getting dressed and hurriedly leaves.  She runs back in to get her shoes and Alex notices tears in her eyes and for some reason it bothers him.  For the next two years, he remembers her and her lavender smell and wishes he had asked her to breakfast.  Melanie's boyfriend Oliver who she has dated for over a year (and still haven't had sex) finally proposes.  He's an up and coming high power attorney.  Feeling backed into a corner, Melanie accepts his proposal but does so more for the comfort and security of it.  Now, she'll need to get that divorce from that hot man in Vegas that she hasn't told anyone about.  When Melanie arrives in Vegas, Alex doesn't believe her at first that they are married.  He also doesn't want to sign the papers, but he's afraid to mention that he's thought about her over the past two years.  Plus, he has a mob man wanting him to either pay to run his bar or wants him out of business.  I really liked both main characters.  They are both pretty funny and appear easy going and I like the two of them together.There are some twists and turns and Melanie and Alex find themselves at the same place. They really seem perfect for each other, but Oliver doesn't want to give Melanie up, and both sets of parents are wanting the marriage.  The media is hounding them and the mob may or may not be out of the picture.  The next installment of this series Leaving Vegas comes out in December.  Can't wait to see what happens with Alex and Melanie.
