With a name like Vegas Manilow, it was inevitable I would find my way back to the City of Sin, where I was born to Lola, she was a showgirl with yellow feathers in her hair . . . okay, she was a stripper. Cliché, right? Tell me about it. Desperate to do something more, be more . . . I wind up the last place I expected—a one-stop wedding chapel. Cue the Elvis and grab the feathers. Instead of a … feathers.
Instead of a tacky wedding parlor or Vegas side show, what I find is a family, a place where I belong. So, when a smooth-talking suit shows up and threatens to take it all away, I’m determined to send him back where he came from Vegas style . . . literally.
What I didn’t count on was sharing the honeymoon suite with him. Talk about sleeping with the enemy.
What happens when the lights go out?
I just found out . . . and it changes everything.
*A sizzling story about a sassy woman trying to make her way in Sin City, and the sexy businessman that stands in her way. A one-stop wedding chapel and a line-up of secondary characters so zany and unique, you’ll want to book a room at the Honeymoon Hideaway and never leave!

I did a lot of laughing and a lot of swooning in this one. Typical Vegas type antics with a not so typical type of family. Vegas, the woman, really shines in helping people find love in Las Vegas. Then her new boss walks in and out go the lights. This is a must read!

Honeymoon Hideaway by Cary Hart
5 Stars
Even though this story was short it is very funny! Love the characters and the plot! Fully enjoyed and loved!
Recommend!
Honeymoon Hideaway: Wonderful writing! Loved the story and how it was told. Full of Surprises and wonderful romance. I loved the challenges that the characters went through. Great romance and a lot of heat. Cary Hart did another great job of writing.
I loved the hilarious novella. I was cracking up the whole way through. This book was crazy just like you would expect Las Vegas to be. What a fun read!!
Great book by Cary Hart. Don’t miss this book..
This was a very fun, quick read. Vegas returns to Vegas after everything goes wrong in New York. She makes a life for herself with an eclectic group of friends that have turned into family. All of that is threatened when Grant Foster comes to town. Some sizzling chemistry and an unprecedented blackout change everything.
This was so fun! I loved Vegas and Foster plus the whole cast of secondary characters, including Burt the goat. Loved it!
if you need to laugh then grab this book ! It is funny with the Aunt Dottie and her smoking Goat I loved it This book tells you how they try to figure out how to fix something that goes wrong and what happens in a blackout
This was such a fun easy read. The words just flow and you get lost in the story. The descriptions of the characters and plot lines had me laughing out loud. Love books like this.
Cary writes amazing characters! Her ability to connect us with Vegas so well in a short amount of pages is a testament to her writing. This one was so hilarious. I loved me some Aunt Dottie. She had the perfect amount of sass. I was impressed with how much swoon Cary packed into this novella. I’m ready to see more of this cast!
Love the story between Vegas and Grant. Love how everyone played a part in getting them together. A great read with a beautiful ending.
This is a hilariously sweet story!!
There are some crazy things going on in Vegas but then again, aren’t there always?? This quick little read packs such a laughter punch that you’re stomach hurts when you’re done reading! There is a cigar smoking goat, wedding paraphernalia, lots and lots of lists, a plot that goes beyond Vegas and Grant, and a honeymoon hideaway that seals the deal! Did I mention there’s also a sexy hot man in a pair of tuxedo boxers? No? Well there just might be and you don’t want to miss out on that do you?
I’ve never enjoyed a blackout this much!

I’m dying! I mean anytime you introduce a smoking goat named Burt Reynolds you have to know this is going to be funny as heck. I swooned and I laughed. I mean I need Burt and Dottie in my life.
Vegas Manilow (yep that’s her real name) is the child of a Vegas stripper. Her mama told her stories that Barry Manilow was her dad. Vegas just rolled with it. She knew she wanted to ditch the town and headed for NYC with dreams of being an actress. When life knocks her down, she finds herself back in the town she left seeking help from a family friend and ended up with a life made up of lists (hey they are very important. I’m with Vegas on this one) at One Stop Wedding Shop. She just didn’t realize that the infuriating man known as Jujubee was going to knock her on her slightly neurotic butt. Grant Foster is Jujubee. He is a philanthropist and was out digging wells for poor countries to have water when he got the sad news. He flew back home to find Vegas running his grandparents dream on the Vegas strip. He didn’t expect the girl he was told so many stories about to be this stunning woman. Now he must set out to win her over if she would ever give him a minute. One crazy night full of twists and turns and surprises might just be what they need to slow down and see what’s in front of them.
Ok first off, we occasionally call my son Juju or jujubee only because his name is Jude. So yeah….other than that I love Grant Foster! Tuxedo undies and all. Also, what is with Burt Reynolds? He is like the David Copperfield of that wedding parlor. Turns up in mysterious places usually stoned off his gourd. I really liked this book. Vegas could be a bit stubborn at times but she’s pretty in charge with everything. It’s a quick fun read and I was sad when it was over. I think Cary Hart could make a niche for herself in romantic comedies. Fun story!
Absolutely amazing, crazy, funny love story. I laughed a lot reading this book. I really enjoyed reading this story, Aunt Dottie and Burt the goat really brought a humor to the story that I feel like if they weren’t in the story, it just wouldn’t be the same. Vegas and Grant had a connection from the moment they meet and neither could deny.
4 funny stars!! A smoking goat?!?! This book is too funny!
This is a cute and funny little love story. I enjoyed all the characters!! I especially enjoyed the ending of the book!! This book was short and to the point and very enjoyable. If you want a good laugh grab it now!!
**I received this book as a an ARC and in return gave my honest review**
This was a great rom com. It had both laughs and sexy time in it, so yay! It wouldn’t be a Las Vegas romcom without a wedding chapel involved. Or a smoking goat, lol! I loved both Vegas and Grant. They were a great couple and had an immediate attraction to each other. Even though Vegas tried fighting it because Grant was her boss. When a blackout occurs in Las Vegas, Grant and Vegas enjoy some time alone together and it is both romantic and steamy. This was a quick read but you got everything you need in a great romance. I would definitely recommend this book.
If you’ve never read anything by Ms. Hart, this is an excellent introduction. The characters in Ms. Hart’s story are just that – characters!! They are funny, sassy, loud, rude & totally adorable. The main character is named Vegas Manilow!! Aunt Dottie has always been there for Vegas as she was growing up. I picture her as an elderly, slightly nuts woman with lots of sass! You won’t believe Burt! He’s hilarious!
It was a sweet love story that left me wanting to read more to find out about Vegas and Grant and if they’d finally just give into the chemistry and get together. This was one of those, meant to be, love stories. Two people who where meant to be together all along. You just have to read it to find out how they get there. I absolutely loved all the funny parts. I laughed out loud several times. That was one of my favorite parts.
Honeymoon Hideaway by Cary Hart
Omg this was hilarious and sweet story. I enjoyed reading this short Novella. The characters are to die for. Vegas (yes this is her name) is back in town trying to start all over. She gets a job with her Aunt Dottie in the Honeymoon Hideaway. Grant is asked to come back to Las Vegas to the Honeymoon Hideaway and that is where the adventure begins.
This story will have you laughing and you will fall in love with everything about it.
One last thing, don’t let Burt fool you lol. Hahaha I love Burt
This story had everything. I never laughed so much in my life until this story. Vegas Manilow is now one of my all time favorite characters. She’s OCD about her lists and when thrown for a loop and gains a new boss in a suit. All hell breaks loose so to speak. Grant comes home barely finding out about his grandparents. When he also finds out that the girl he knew when they were little was running his grandparents Vegas wedding chapel, he wanted nothing to stop him to get to know her again. But, when he gets there he wasn’t expecting her to be even better than what he remembered.
This story will give you all the laughs, all the feels and everything in between. And when you find out about Elvis, the smokin’ goat. You will die with laughter. And Aunt Dottie, oh boy, that woman is a hoot! Everyone needs an Aunt Dottie in there lives!
I loved this story something fierce. When you’re in need of a good laugh, this is the story to read.
Great job Cary! Can’t wait to read more!
I adored Vegas and Grant’s story. It was hilariously funny and sweet too.
If your in need of a good laugh I recommend giving this book a try.
