"He soothes my soul. He calms me in a way that I never have been before. I love him. I really really do."Sin at Sea was one of my favorite summer reads this year. I thought it was a very easy and playful read that was also both scorching and romantic all at the same time. The friendship between Sin and Jolie was delightful and I was really impressed how the author made that relationship work. Adding BE to the mix made it even better. I really enjoyed it and was looking forward to the next... Vixen In Vegas.Vixen in Vegas starts immediately where Sin at Sea leaves off where B.E. and Sin are scheduled to meet a week after their cruise. She has all these doubts about their relationship but her BFF Jolie encourages her and is with her every step of the way. If you've read the first book you know that she's taking a huge risk. For being with him for only a week she fell really hard and she knows that he has the potential of breaking her heart but her love is so great that she is willing to face all the consequences.B.E. is just as enamored with Sin. He never fails to show her in so MANY ways how important she is to him. He wants her in his life forever but he harbors these life changing secrets. When Sin finds out of course she freaks the hell out but again Jolie is there to talk her down. She finds the strength to accept him despite everything and even takes their relationship way beyond the expected.__________________This story was not what I thought it would be. While book 1 was very light and playful this one was more serious and emotional and I admire how Emma Nichols was able to switch and combine the two stories effortlessly.Since it was a longer story the character building in this one was better. Sin was so much more laid back and carefree in the first but in this one she tackles some very difficult issues both with her past and also her current relationships. After her one freak out I was amazed how she was able to turn herself around and develop into this rational and mature woman. No matter what was thrown her way she kept it together not only for both of them but also for the people around them. She had so much more depth than I expected.B.E. was amazing too. He was even more romantic in this book. He was dealing with some major issues in his life but he always made it to where Sin came first in all things. He practically worshipped the ground she walked on. Even if they came from different lifestyles and backgrounds there was never a doubt in my mind that these two were compatible. Sin made it to where she would fit right into his world.Another thing I loved about this book is Jolie. If there was a bestfriend that I could wish for it would be her. She is remarkable and I am hoping that we eventually get to read her story and how she also gets her HEA. Please?And of course I will not neglect to mention the unique way that Sin went about making B.E. hers forever. It was so non traditional yet SO them. Just for that reason this book will seriously be seared into my mind for a very long time. Let's just say that it will definitely take some time for another author to top that! Loved it!Vixen in Vegas was a beautiful story of love and acceptance and also sacrifices. It made me feel that I was on a roller coaster ride with all the twists and turns and also the way Emma Nichols was able to manipulate my emotions into feeling both happiness and sadness at the same time . In the end I was elated that with all that they've been through they were still able to find their happy ending. Just like Sin at Sea, I highly recommend this one.liezelsbookblog.net
