Evelyn: This weekend in Vegas was supposed to be my best friend’s bachelorette party. We should’ve been drinking and dancing, and don’t get me wrong, we did all the above. It’s just that I never expected to be rushing into the airport the next morning to catch my flight home with a huge diamond on my ring finger and a whole lot of confusing feelings. I think I just got married by Elvis, fell for … married by Elvis, fell for my new husband and made the biggest mistake of my life by leaving him, all in one day.
Cory:
It was hard not to notice her long legs, curvy figure, and angelic smile. Even in the sea of people, she stood out. She smelled like vanilla and she looked like heaven. That’s about all I knew about her when a genius idea to get married struck me. Too bad the next morning she ran away leaving me in my hotel room. Because if she knew me better she’d know that I always get what I want and she’s not an exception. It’s time to find my wife and make her mine.
Author’s note: This is a short, over-the-top, steamy insta-love romance with an alpha hero and a beautiful, strong-headed heroine. No cheating, no cliffhangers, only a guaranteed, big Happy Ever After!
This book is a standalone, and it can be read separately. However, I really recommend reading
Something Beautiful
and
Something Obsessive
first as that is where you meet these characters for the first time.more
I just loved this book. It was so well-written that it captured my mind and I was dragged along for the ride. Once I started reading I could not put it down until I read the last page.

Evelyn is living it up with her besties at a 3-day bachelorette party for one of them. She has worked hard for the life she has accomplished but feels like she is missing out since she has pushed away the few guys that she has dated.
When she bumps into a tall, handsome, blonde Adonis of man – they dance, talk, and in a tipsy haze get married. The next morning – she ends up running.
Cory met and married the woman of his dreams the night before only to have her run the next morning. But he likes a chase and won’t let his angel get away so easily.
I liked the concept of this story, but it fell short for me since character and story development fell a little short. It has so much potential, but fell short since everything felt so rushed. If the author took a little more time to develop everything, I know this story would be fantastic

This story was too short. Evelyn is in Vegas with friends when she meets Cory. He offers to show her a night on the town and they end up married.
Neither the characters nor the storyline had an opportunity to develop.

One wild night in Vegas!!!
Something Unexpected is the third book in the Her Protector series and is the story of Evelyn and Cory. These two meet in a Las Vegas night club, well actually she literally runs into his wall of muscle, and then things take an interesting turn. Evelyn is on a bachelorette weekend with a group of friends for her best friend Deanne. Cory is in Vegas meeting with potential clients for a few days.
Evelyn is twenty-six years old and owns her own publishing company based in San Francisco. She has focused solely on growing her business and getting new authors. This has meant that she does not take time for herself or to take a break and enjoy herself as much as she should.
Cory is mid thirties, lives in San Francisco and owns the security company Oreon with his friends Carter and Ben, who he served in the Army with. He is the last of the three to still be single.
After Evelyn runs into Cory and he catches her she asks him to dance and then he asks her to get out of there with him. She does and they walk around the downtown area for several hours talking and getting to know each other into the early morning hours. The next morning Evelyn awakes with not only a massive hangover but also a huge rock on her ring finger in a bed with a strange man. It turns out while they were both drunk the tied the knot in Vegas. Luckily they did not get naked but it is still more than a shock. When Evelyn realizes what time it is she tries to run out as she has a flight in less than an hour with Cory catching her before she can escape his grasp. But she is quick and wriggles out from under him with a “let’s just forget this ever happened”. However, he is not so easily dissuaded as they are both from San Francisco so he is about to hunt down and find his wife when he returns. Let’s just say that the other men have more than a few laughs at his expense since he got married and lost his wife all within the span of a few hours. Once Cory finally tracks Evelyn down he is going to keep her under him in the most delicious ways.
This very short, fast-paced OTT story is fun and enjoyable to read. The characters are nice written with some interesting and witty dialogue and banter between them. I am also going to note that there were a lot of proofreading errors that should have been spotted and were easily corrected before publication. Because of these my rating is 3 instead of 4 stars.
This was the short story of Evelyn and Cory’s whirlwind relationship. They met in Vegas, married within hours, she left him the next morning, and he finds her days later. It was insta-love, improbable but a fun read. I especially like the short epilogue.
I recommend this for a very short, HEA romance.

Evelyn is in Vegas for her best friend’s bachelorette party. Drinking and dancing in abundance kept her spirits high, so she was ready to meet Cory. They had fun together enjoying Vegan and Cory’s favorite spots.
The next morning, Evelyn woke to find Cory in her bed and a large diamond on her finger! She had to run to catch her flight home, contemplating what to do about her new status as “wife”! But Cory has no intention of losing his new bride! He’s about to hunt her down and show her this was for real!
This is a cute story with a fun story line. It is well-paced and the characters are likable. Will Evelyn make a clean escape? Or will Cory convince her she is right where she wants to be?
Practically neighbors. Cory meets Evelyn at her girlfriends bachelorette party. She invites him to dance and then things get really interesting. Take a walk, see the sights, learn something about each other and then Elvis marries them. All I can say is that this story was really good but ends too fast. I would have loved a longer story. Great HEA> I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is the third book in the Her Protector series, it can be read as a standalone story. There are no cliffhangers and a wonderful HEA.
Evelyn is in Vegas for her bff bachelorette party and bumps into the sexiest man she’s seen ever. Cory is as smitten as Evelyn, soon they connect and get married… what happens in Vegas style and then in the morning she runs.
Can Cory find his runaway bride and convince her to take a chance on them? Fast-paced story, quick to read. A wonderful bit of light hearted reading.
Runaway wife…
We have been teased with Cory and his “runaway wife” since the first book in this series. Finally we get the full story! You would think that people would finally realize that what happens in Vegas DOES NOT always stay in Vegas. Especially when it involves a groom determined to find his wife. A groom that has the friends willing to help him……even if they do tease him while doing it.

Evelyn was in Las Vegas with some of her girl friends for a bachelorette party. She had excused herself to go to the restroom and when she came back out she ran into Cory. They got to talking and decide to go on a tour of the city. During this tour they got married, so when they woke up together the next morning Evelyn was in real shock. All she could think was, she had a flight back to San Francisco in less than half an hour. She caught her flight and then worried, that she had done the wrong thing, but she did not know how to find Cory. Mean while Cory and his partners, Ben and Carter were proceeding to find Evelyn as they owned a security company in San Francisco. The only information they had to go on was her first name and she owned her own publishing company. Finally, one of them located her full name and business address. Cory was then off to claim his wife. This is quite the short read. It makes you believe in love at first sight, and the determination of alpha men. I could not put this book down.

I really enjoyed this story. I did a lot of smiling and laughing. The characters were great and their interactions were awesome.
Evelyn is in Vegas for the weekend for her best friend’s bachelorette party. They had been drinking and dancing. The next morning she is rushing into the airport to catch her flight home with a huge diamond on her hand and a lot of confusing feelings. Evelyn just got married, fell for her new husband and made the biggest mistake of her life by leaving him, all in one day.
Cory noticed Evelyn at the club with her curvy figure, long legs, and sweet smile. When he ran into her, he noticed that she smelled like vanilla. He talks her into checking out the Strip with him and then decides that getting married is a great idea. Cory wasn’t prepared for her to run away in the morning leaving him alone in his hotel room. He’s determined to track Evelyn down and make her his.
I really loved how direct Cory and Evelyn were with each other. There was very little angst, even though Evelyn ran off, which was nice. Loved their happy ever after. This is short but so sweet you will enjoy it. I definitely recommend this book.
