Review – What Happens in Vegas by Natasha Deen

Posted by   Published in Uncategorized

Book Details:
Genre: Adult Romantic Suspense
Publisher: The Wild Rose Press
Publication Date: August 2011

Synopsis:

It’s not that Binda Morningstar’s an idiot—the girl’s got more degrees than a thermometer—but there’s something about a crisis that makes her lose her mind…and accidently injure anyone within a ten foot radius. But if she’s going to rescue her boss from a cursed jewel, she’s going to have to keep it together. Unfortunately for her, the cop on the case, Corin Hawthorne, has her losing her mind and her heart…and if he gets anymore drool worthy, she’s going to lose her inhibitions, too. To save her boss and win her man, she’s got to outrun a mobster, outwit the YIFFS at a sex fetish convention, and outthink an ex-wife—and she’s got to do it all without breaking an arm or inadvertently hitting anyone with pepper spray…it’s all got Binda hoping that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

 

My thoughts:
Do yourself a favor and go get this book. For me, this book has the right amount of romantic tension without any DMAC (Dysfunction Masquerading as Conflict). (Read my interview with the author, Natasha Deen, to see what I’m talking about.) There’s also enough action to keep the story moving along nicely. It never drags or gets dull. But the the best part is, this is a damn funny book. I laughed out loud at several parts and loved the outrageous situations that Binda and Corin find themselves in and Vegas is after all, the perfect setting for outrageous situations. It’s a quick read, very fun and one you’ll definitely want to tell your friends about. I seriously can’t wait to check out more of Natasha’s work.
Author Bio:
When I was little, there was only one thing I wanted to be: a superhero. But there came a day when my dreams were broken, and that was the day I realized that being a klutz was not, in fact, a super power, and my super weakness for anything bright and shiny meant a magpie with self-control could easily defeat me in a battle of wills. I turned to writing as a way to sharpen my mental super-hero skills. I don’t get to orbit the earth in a space station (and thank God, because I get sick on merry go round), but I do get to say things like: “Stand aside! This is a job for Writing Girl!!”
