Life in Vegas was no fairy tale. Prince Charming turned out to be a well-dressed frog, and my dark knight cuffed me to his bed. One left his mark on my body; one left his mark on my heart. Both taught me an important lesson: the high-stakes games they play in Sin City are too rich for my blood.Fleeing Vegas and the sexy monsters who live there was the first good decision I’ve made in a while. All … while. All I want to do now is lick my wounds and get back to my boring, normal life. Studying for finals with an ironic mug full of lemon tea, backyard cook-outs courtesy of my brother-in-law, and binge-watching old shows with my sister every night—that is the life I want back. No more pulse-pounding sexiness, no more ruthless bad guys clawing my heart apart for their own purposes.
All I want is to be normal again. That’s it.
The problem is, I’m not sure it’s possible to get back to normal once the Morelli family gets involved…
Book 2 of 3 in the Vegas Morelli family trilogy!
Note: This is not a standalone.
Book one must be read before you read this one.

What a ride!
I am absolutely loving this series, especially our heroine, Laurel! She’s tough and she’s been keeping up pretty well with our bad boys. I have to admit I worried about how she would handle all of the craziness that comes with the Morelli family, but she fits right in.
Big ups to Sam for writing such amazing and complex characters and stories! Reading her books is like watching a movie.
This was my favorite of this series! I loved Sin and Laurel!
5 stars!
LOVE. I can’t get enough of these Morellis! This is the 10th Morelli book I’ve read (counting Entrapment), and I wish there were at least 10 more!
I love these characters. I love where this book took the story. I love the tug-of-war between Rafe and Sin for Laurel’s affections. I was rooting SO HARD for the one I wanted to prevail.
The action and suspense are there, as is humor. I laughed out loud. Pretty hard, actually. And I never do that from books. It was a scene where Laurel tries to lie, and fails most spectacularly.
I WANT MORE! Off I go to read the third (and final ) Vegas Morelli book.
This book didn’t have any of the punch the first book had. I think I could have skipped it and wait for book three in the series.
4.5 Vegas Stars
Sinning in Vegas is book 2 of the Vegas Morellis trilogy. You must read book 1 before diving into this one.
Picking up right where we left off in Staying in Vegas, the action never stops!! How in the world will Laurel survive when forced to be with the one she doesn’t want to be with?
There are some moles in the family business. There is someone trying to poison Laurel. There is only one person who is paying attention to everything going on. But will he be the strongest link to save it all?
Sin is in it to win, but after releasing Laurel to go back with Rafe, can he request a do-over? Seeing everything that is happening, is it worth it to risk the one person who he cares the most about…the woman who is carrying another man’s baby.
Sam Mariano sure has woven a story with the Vegas Morellis! This book had me turning the pages to find out which would win in the end. Not just win the woman…but win as in hold the Vegas family together without losing the ones that truly deserve to be together!
May the best man win and May the Morelli family grow stronger!!! Cant wait to read the final book in this good trilogy!!!

I’ve let this one ruminate in my mind a bit after reading, not because I didn’t have anything to say. But because I had so much to say and my mind was a tumble of “what the what” and “who do I pick”.
Sam Mariano is knocking down my favorites like bowling pins. She’s taking over those spots like it’s her job and she’s stuck with me for life!! If she were to write a text book on multiplication, I would read it….and I don’t do math. 😉
Book 2 of the Vegas Morellis had me in such a state I felt as if I was going a bit wonky. Having loved Rafe from his introduction in the OG Morellis, I was so excited to get his story. And then the introduction of this Sin character in book 1, had me reeling. I’m not supposed to like/love someone has much as Rafe, what is going on, what is she doing to me?! Well, she’s writing a phenomenal story and one that kept me on the edge of my seat and sanity throughout!
I can say I was ragey at some points and had the goofiest smile at others. How Sam weaves you into these characters, who lets face it are not the best morally, is nothing short of perfection. And the fact that she does it to me EVERYTIME, and I end up thanking her for it. Well, I think it says more about her skills as a writer, than my inability to pick just one favorite and always fall into her trap.
Her men are dark as dark can be, they are not good guys. But they have a charming way about them and a sense of humor that is so captivating. You want to hate them, but it’s just impossible.
Get to writing that multiplication textbook Sam Mariano, I’ll be first in line to buy it!! But first…..my Rafe gets his full time in Book 3!!! I cannot wait!!!!
