What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, until you marry your best friend’s brother!When my best friend asked me to be her maid of honor, I said yes. When she asked me to join her for a weekend in Vegas before a destination wedding in Hawaii, I said yes. When I saw her brother again, I said yes, yes yes!Ryan has been the star of my dreams since I first saw him. His winning smile, powerful tight … winning smile, powerful tight muscles, strong hands… I can’t think about him without breaking into a sweat. I can’t talk to him without stammering. All I want to do is get my hands on his belt and yank him into bed with me.
I was expecting him to be too cool for me, but when I got roped into ‘chaperoning’ the bachelor party and things got a little too wild, Ryan came to the rescue and carried me off to a limo ride that turned wild, and my dreams came true in a night of passion I’ll never forget.
Then the next thing I know, I wake up next to him and we’re both wearing wedding bands. When my best friend finds out…more
A quickie Vegas marriage to your best friend’s brother when he’s blackout drunk probably isn’t a good idea. Julia’s heart has belonged to Ryan for years and while he’s mightily attracted to her, he has no intention of marrying her or anything else, but after a few drinks he’s taking what he wants – what they both want. Can their marriage survive the light of day and his father’s disapproval? I enjoyed this story very much. It’s a fun, sexy romance with likable characters. Loved the writing. My favorite stories are ones that touch me emotionally and Julia and Ryan did that. I loved the HEA too. 4.5 stars.

Interesting read. The family dynamics of the main male character were harsh, in that, animosity was the strongest connection between them all. Very sad to read about a family operating in this way but unfortunately these situations are sometimes a fact of life. This reader viewed the story as very authentic due to, not only bringing forward the positives in life, but also, presenting some of the negatives people face in life.
This reader did not totally understand the two main male and female characters. They were presented clearly enough but, it felt like there was a mystique being created about these two characters, without very many revelations to assist the reader in better understanding the make up of the characters. All-in-all, this novel was enjoyable to read as this reader watched the main characters come into their own.

This was a story that kept me turning pages and invested in these characters, Ryan and Julia. Their connection is spicy and sweet! Very enjoyable.

He ends up helping her at the party and they two of them end up drunk in the back of a limo. Not long after they have sex only to wake up the next morning married. What will Julie’s friend say when she learns that she married her brother? Will Ryan want out of the marriage?
This is a great story once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between them is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover..

I actually really loved this story. A girl crush that turned into something more later on in life. Who would not love that.
Julia was a very sweet girl. Though she had been the hired helps daughter she still became best friends with Karen. I love how in this story we see Julia who is this shy girl really come out of her shell.
Ryan was super sexy. He was a bit of a player but there was more to him then met the eye. He had demons from the past that really haunted him and this broke my heart. I do love how Ryan had a secret crush on Julia growing up. I also love how one drunk night changed everything for Julie and Ryan.
This was a great story and glad I got a chance to read it.
A brother and sister…plus the girl who grew up with them, separated by social class. Wow. What a story! It was smexy and hawt, along with much pre-determined prejudices about how “rich folk” think and act. And how the author smashes ‘em all. Julia has been in “crush” with Ryan who happens to be the brother to her best friend, Karen, the three people I mentioned above. I won’t retell the story but these three have issues and history with each other that will make you shake your head – all believable stories, just heartbreaking at times. The author handles all the sticky situations well, and delivers a very hawt story that is both touching and believable. I enjoyed it, especially when certain characters get what’s coming to them, in the most spectacular way.
What a fun book to read. Loved it. She goes to Vegas to head up her friend’s bridal party. She has had a thing for her friends brother but has never seen any interest on his part and you don’t mess with your friend’s brother. Things get a little too exciting and she wakes up married to him. But with his family and yours and past issues will it be stopped before it gets a chance to get started.
