Novalee Jensen thought what happened in Vegas would stay in Vegas, but two years later, her Vegas indiscretion shows up in her bar. Novalee’s fears come true as the sudden appearance of the stranger brings questions everyone wants answers to, and the secret she’s kept to herself for so long is exposed.
Dean Philips is on a mission to find his wife and bring her back to Nevada, all without exposing his own secrets and lies. Lies that could not only cost him his fortune, but also the woman he’s yearned to know since that fateful night two years ago. |
Initial Thoughts:
I was given an ARC of this book by NetGalley. Vegas + secrets + lies = I'm in.
The Pros:
This book was heartwarming. Novalee is just so sweet. She's been handed a rough deck of cards in her life, but she's made it out on top.
Dean's progression from miserable drunk to heartthrob was a fun ride to be on. His love for someone he barely knows (even though she's his wife) was confusing yet romantic at the same time.
The fact that they stayed faithful to each other for 2 years even when they both thought the other person didn't know about the marriage = soooo cute.
I liked that even though Novalee had no biological family, she had a family in her friends and patrons.
The Cons:
The plot line was hardly original, and it was a bit predictable.
I doubt I would have taken Dean back after all his lies, but this is a romance novel. Sins are always forgiven.
The Wrap Up: 3.5
A quick, cute read. Nothing out of the ordinary, but a good choice for a book that doesn't require you to think too much.
