New York Times bestselling author, Emma Hart, brings together two polar-opposite single parents in the second book in the sinfully sexy Vegas Nights series. Detective Adrian Potter had a lot to answer for. I didn’t care that he was tasked with shutting down the city’s most prolific hookers. I cared that he was stopping me from providing for my daughter. He didn’t care.Not at all.Until I broke … care.
Not at all.
Until I broke down in the backseat of his car… And he let me go.
Adrian was a single parent, too. He knew how hard I had it. At least, he thought he did.
He had a job. He had people who cared. He didn’t know just how lucky he was.
My name is Perrie Fox.
I was a whore of the highest value.
Until Detective Adrian Potter.
Until the tattooed, redemption-seeking detective entered my life, looking for his fairytale.
The cop and the hooker.
Happily ever fucking never.
You’ve met one Fox sibling.
Now meet the other…
(LUST is book two of the Vegas Nights series. While it is a standalone, the time frame does overlap with scenes in the previous book, SIN. You can, however, read LUST without reading SIN.)

Lust is the second book in the Vegas Nights series. It can be read as a standalone but the time frame is the same as the first book, Lust. Two Foxes and their stories of falling for someone they don’t believe they deserve. I loved Damien’s story but his sister’s story pulled at my heartstrings and made me fall even harder.
One hooker. One cop. Two kids. One arrest that changes all of their lives.
Perrie wanted out of this life. She wanted more for herself and her daughter Lola. She just needed a chance. And she never thought that chance would come after being arrested by a hot, tatted, and infuriating cop that let her go. He needed something from her and she needed a way out. This was it. She didn’t want to do what he asked but she really didn’t have a choice. She could give him what he wanted until she figured out what to do next. What could go wrong? Even though she wanted him and he seems to want her, it can not happen. They can not cross that line. But it is fun to watch them walk along it. Trip over it. Fall across it.
Adrian and Perrie’s relationship is complicated. They have their reasons for wanting to keep their time together as professional as possible. They also had their reasons for wanting to tear each other’s clothes off. They also had their reasons for wanting to rip each other’s throats out. But, it all comes down to actions speaking louder than words. Seeing them together is like watching two broken people coming together. They don’t get it. They have to figure it out. It’s not easy. It’s not roses and butterflies. It’s real life with real complications.
I absolutely loved every single minute of their story! I was addicted from the very first sentence to the very last one. The writing is magnificent. The storyline is unique. The characters are well-developed, lovable, and real. Adrian is a sexy, tatted cop with a filthy mouth but more importantly he is an amazing father. Perrie is strong willed, beautiful, and a kick ass mom. Together, their banter is hilarious, hot, and so much fun. Their chemistry is sinfully sexy. Overall…it’s beautiful in a kind of way I can’t really explain. And I can’t forget about Zac (8) and Lola (7). These kids seriously stole my heart. Omg, they had me in stitches.
Overall…it’s my all-time favorite Emma book!! It gave me all the feels. How could it not? A feisty and a kickass single mom. A hot and protective single father. To adorable and smart kids. A unique storyline with sexy times and hilarious ones as well.
Quotes:
“Sorry. Looks like you bring out the worst in me, baby.”
“Looks like you’re determined to have my stiletto pierce your ballsac with that stupid little endearment.”
She tasted of obsession and she smelled like addiction. She felt like danger.
“Mommy, he is very handsome.”
“He gets that from me.” Zac puffed out his chest.
Emma Hart can write anything, I will still fall in love!!
Lust is such an exceptionally well written novel. Adrian and Perrie are two characters who will leave you breathless. They have a push-pull dynamic to their relationship, that will certainly make you invested in their life and relationship.
I cannot praise this novel enough! Go and read it today!
5/5 Stars!
LUST, This is book two of the Vegas Nights series written by the amazing author Emma Hart. This is the story of the cop and the hooker plus two delightful and funny kids. Detective Adrian Potter, single parent of Zac & Perrie Fox, a high end hooker in Las Vegas trying to make a living to support her cute daughter Lola. They meet when Adrian is arresting Perrie for prostitution. No Spoilers, go buy the book because the story is worth it. Lust it is a standalone story but it’s better if you read the previous book, SIN. After all their is a bit of connection between some of the characters at the same time frame.
NO SPOILERS!
Emma Hart has completely won me over and I am officially addicted to her books! LUST was only my second novel by Ms. Hart, but it will certainly not be the last. I absolutely loved her writing style and the unique and intriguing storyline and characters she created. I loved this book so much and it was even better than SIN, the first standalone in the Vegas Nights series. I would highly recommend reading SIN before LUST. It‘s not necessary, because each book is a standalone, but you’ll have a better understanding of Perrie’s background if you do. Plus, SIN was just as amazing as LUST.
Adrian and Perrie were amazing. I loved their personalities and chemistry together, and how their relationship progressed throughout. I was hooked to their story from beginning to end, and I loved reading every single page. I loved that it was written from both Adrian and Perrie’s POV, and I immensely enjoyed their banter and interactions with each other. They didn’t meet under ideal circumstances, but I really enjoyed where their friendship/relationship went from there. The storyline took a few surprising and unexpected turns, but I loved everything from start to finish. I would have loved more intimate moments between Adrian and Perrie, but I was still very satisfied with their relationship, and I was extremely pleased with the conclusion to their story.
Another aspect I loved were the secondary characters, specifically Zac and Lola. Adrian and Perrie’s kids were so cute and adorable, and they completely stole my heart. Their antics and conversations were entertaining, and I couldn’t help but smile and/or laugh every time they were in a scene. Zac and Lola were two of the best kids that I’ve read about, and they made me love this story even more. If they hadn’t been a part of it, I wouldn’t have loved LUST as much as I did. On a side note, I loved that a few characters from SIN made an appearance in this book. It brought both stories full circle and I loved it.
LUST was another sexy, addicting, and swoon-worthy romance in the Vegas Nights series, and I immensely loved Adrian and Perrie’s story. Emma Hart did an excellent job writing this book, and I can’t wait to read more of her amazing novels. She is definitely a new favorite author for me, and if you haven’t checked out her books yet, especially the Vegas Nights series, I highly urge you to do so ASAP!
It’s quite obvious Adrian is a sensitive man, “I didn’t even make it inside before Adrian pulled me against his body. His fingers dug into my waist with his tight grip, and he pressed his mouth against my hair. “Did you just tell the valet that I can’t get it up?” Adrian likes to send his girl flirty text messages, “the longer I sit here seeing your underwear through your dress, the more likely I am to eff you blind tonight.” I adored this book the kids Zac and Lola they made the book so entertaining with the sass they gave.
