As the Executive Casino Hostess for The Onyx in Las Vegas, Valerie Downing is always on the lookout for the night’s biggest winners. When she spots a man―one of the sexiest she’s ever laid eyes on―generating huge excitement at the craps table, she knows she’s in luck. Her goal: To make sure the high rollers stay at her hotel, and that any further gambling is invested right back into the casino. … casino. His aim: To enjoy some other “perks” that Valerie might have to offer…
Turns out Chase Pierson is already a VIP guest who happens to be working with Valerie’s boss on a top-secret mission for the Reliance Group―one for which she too has been recruited because of her psychic abilities. But Valerie, bold and gorgeous as she is, is first and foremost a professional. No fraternizing with Onyx clientele is her motto…except this hard-bodied, infuriatingly charming client is tempting her to break all the rules.
LAST CHANCE contains light paranormal elements (heroine has psychic abilities)

Oops, I read this out of order in the Vegas Heat series. But the good news is, It is totally a standalone and I did not even realize it was out of order until now.
I really liked the dynamics between Valerie and Chase. Valerie being psychic truly gives this story some fun twists. Chase is on a treasure hunt. I love how he follows the clues to find his treasure. Chase has a bit of psychic energy as well. This makes for an electrifying relationship between the two. The suspense and action in this book are so fun to get lost in. The steam between Chase and Valerie heats up the pages. I found myself trying to solve the clues along with Chase and that challenge added a real life dimension to this last installment of Vegas Heat.
Lia Langola narrates with story with ease. Ms. Langola easily narrates Valerie’s character attributes. Every emotion, fear and attitude are brought to life with Ms. Langola’s narration. Valerie is narrated just as I imagined her, strong, determined, and caring. I enjoy Ms.Langola’s narration of male characters. Ms. Langola adds dimension to Chase’s character. I could not stop listening to this book!
Ooh what a fun and sexy story this one was. First off, I guess you can kind of label Last Chance as a light paranormal romance because Valerie, the heroine, is psychic. And when she meets Chase, ooh boy, the sparks totally flew and almost short circuit my kindle. I loved how their relationship developed and the adventure they went on. There’s a little bit of suspense and some action but there was a whole lot of loving going on too. I don’t know what else to add except that this really was a fun story to read. I loved every moment of it. There were some secondary characters I would love Erika Wilde to write about because I don’t want this series to end yet. So here’s hoping.
