Who knew I’d meet the love of my life on a girls night in Las Vegas? Definitely not me.“Remember the moment we’re together when I’m your world and nothing else exists. I’ve never had that with anybody else and I’m willing to bet you haven’t either.”Those heartfelt words that fell from his lips have taken residence in my head, crushing my soul since I haven’t told him who I am. What if he doesn’t … What if he doesn’t want the real me?
Danny’s a hunky metal head with soulful brown eyes. His sexy tiger tattoo makes me burn from the inside out. He’s everything I want and need.
I want to keep him. But, I can’t tell him I love him until I confess my innocuous lie. I wouldn’t believe it myself.
Betting on Love… could be the riskiest gamble of all.

This story blew me away and was so much more than I could’ve imagined. Jack’s and Danny will have you hanging on the edge until the very end. Their story is off the charts with chemistry like no other. What started off as one thing ended in something else. There’s so much to this story that you just have to read it to find out. You won’t be disappointed. It was fantastic and I look forward to reading the next book.
I really enjoyed this book. Great characters and fun storyline. I couldn’t wait to see what happens in this Vegas love story. This was a very steamy romance and although the story was really good, I was not a fan of this particular HEA.
This is my first book from Naomi Springthorp but it will not be my last.
I recommend this book.
Sisters Spotlight

“Remember the moment we’re together when I’m your world and nothing else exists.”
A club DJ pairs Danny and Jackie up and soon real sparks begin to fly! This story is Hot Hot Hot! I will never think of a tiger in the same way again!
“More important than my shirt, you’re stealing a piece of my heart. I’ll miss you, Jacks.”
This story starts out as fun and completely entertaining but takes a bit of an emotional turn. In the end I was left really needing more of Jackie and Danny!
-4 Stars!-

Just A California Girl gets a FLIRTY AND FUN FIVE STEAMY STARS!
I couldn’t put this book down! The characters were funny, realistic, and had some really really steamy hot sex scenes!!
The main character Jackie pretends she has a British accent while she is in Vegas. The only problem with that? She meets Danny and falls hard. The bigger problem as their relationship continues she doesn’t tell him shes actually just a California girl….
It left me craving more from these unpredictable, funny characters. I kept envisioning Jackie with a fake british accent as she narrated the book.
I can’t tell you how in LOVE with Danny and his tiger I am.
Dating in the 90’s was HARD. I can’t even imagine what finding your love in city and state where you are not. With today’s technology it’s hard to remember what having a pager was like. The cryptic messages (143=I love you).
Everything happens for a reason I needed to open my eyes to see Bad timing is what saved me Showed me what you mean to me.
Just A California Girl: Betting On Love is an exceptionally written story with the right elements that will take you to the cusp of finding your kindred soul and have life’s mistaken circumstances taken away from you.
The setting of the novel is Las Vegas early 90’s Jess and Jackie should perhaps be supervised or not granted access in the State of Nevada or just maybe Vegas.
Two best friends head to the city sin to practice on their British accent for Maestro who was about in his late 30’s didn’t realize he drove them mad in his jeans. I won’t mention the outlining. So they decide to take their homework to heart and head to Vegas for the weekend. On a nightly stroll down the strip, they end up at The MGM and at a free lounge act. They score two free wristbands for two free drinks. But on this weekend expedition takes a turn for Jackie which she was not prepared for. She encounters Danny and his metalhead, tight fitted t-shirt stretched across his iron-clad body, faded 501 button fly jeans, including the six foot two and capable of so many endless possibilities. He is A GOD!
He pulled me toward him and whispered in my ear, “I don’t want to scare you away or push you too far. Something about you, you look like you’re my angel and I want to know if you feel like my angel. Let me take you on my Vegas tour.”
“Definitely my angel, you taste heavenly,” he peered down at me with the most devilish hooded dark eyes sneaking through his happy features. He simply wrapped his arms around me and smiled before leading me off to our next destination.”
“I was remembering how your warm hands make my skin hot and my nerves tingle. I fell asleep last night with the taste of you and Midori on my tongue,” I confess sexily.”
“I can’t wait to be with you.
“I’ll be waiting for you whenever you get here.
“Only if you want me to be,
“You’re the girl I want,”
“Once you let the Tiger out, he doesn’t want to be caged.”
Love is a gamble. Do you roll the dice and take a chance?
Will Jackie and Danny continue on this crazy adventure?
No matter what obstacles the Universe places in their path will they find the strength in each other to overcome them and find their way back each other? Or perhaps take this crazy adventure a once in a lifetime deal as a memory? Will they fight against all the odds for each other or will they allow the Universe to decide there fate and destiny?
Author’s writing skills are powerful. She is able to lure you in slowly and seize you page after page.
