Blurb:
For Bryn Meara, a free trip to the exclusive and ultra-luxe Nightfall hotel and casino in Vegas should’ve been the perfect way to escape the debris of her crumbling career. But waking up from a martini-and-lust-fueled night to find herself married to Caiden Verran, the reclusive billionaire who owns the hotel and most of the city, isn’t the jackpot one would think. It seems her dark and sexy new husband is actual royalty—the fae king of the Night Court—and there’s an entire world beneath the veil of Vegas.
Whether light or shadow, the fae are a far cry from fairy tales, and now they’ve made Bryn a pawn in their dark games for power. And Caiden is the most dangerous of all—an intoxicating cocktail of sin and raw, insatiable hunger. She should run. But every night of passion pulls Bryn deeper into his strange and sinister world, until she’s no longer certain she wants to leave…even if she could.
My thoughts:
What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas.....
Or should I paraphrase … After what happened in Vegas, you should stay in Vegas.
After she gets fired from her job as public relations specialist, Bryn Meara decides to take advantage of the free trip to the most luxurious hotel in Vegas for a short fun vacation before she hit the track running for a new job.
All of her plans for a casual trip flew out the window when she wakes up married to a billionaire who owns not only the hotel she stays in, but also most of the city.
And the cherry on top, he's the fae king of the Night Court - Caiden Verran.
Too much too fast, she involuntarily got involved in a complex fae schemes for power.
Interesting combination of Fifty Shades meets with fae folklore in Sin City setting… I mean, who could resist that combination.
Deliciously smutty and hot (not for the faint-hearted), with numerous humorous moments and witty back and forth, we follow the story from multiple POV's.
Loved how, at first glance, he's the one commanding and dominating…but in reality, even then, she is the one who has him under her thumb in all the ways.
It was hilarious to witness all his schemes to drive her away, how they backfire spectacularly and leaving him speechless.
Had a ton of fun reading this fiery and entertaining story.
