Description:
Master illusionist Nicholas Pine has learned the hard way that nothing—and nobody—is what they seem. So when he runs into sexy antique shop owner, Zelda Quincy, he knows there’s more to her than meets the eye. Still, what he sees is very, very intriguing…and he can’t get her out of his head.

Zelda has spent her whole adult life running away from her family’s reputation. She’s changed her name and tried to move on. The last thing she wants is to return to the world she left behind, even with someone as hot as Nicholas by her side.

But after one hot night––she’s addicted––and so is he.

Too bad the skeletons in Zelda’s closet won’t stay hidden for long…

 

Review:

Wild Nights by Katherine Garbera is just that for Nicholas and Zelda.  From the moment the two meet the sparks fly and it just keeps getting better and better.  The two characters had chemistry that just burned through the pages.  Then add in the Vegas setting, some magic and illusion and you have yourself one hell of a story. 

I really liked both characters from the get go. In Nicholas and Zelda Ms. Garbera writes two very solid and real characters.  You get where they are coming from and their backstories only add to their personalities and storylines.  You can’t help but love both of them and want to see them move on from their pasts and find love and happiness with each other. 

Once again Ms. Garbera does a great job of creating the secondary characters who help to add some humour and spark to both Nicholas and Zelda’s stories. I love the friendship between Zelda and Molly, as well as her relationship with Molly’s son Stetson.  It’s so cute and touching, it melted my heart a few times.  As for Nicholas and his buddies, once again it was fun to see them altogether again in Vegas at their casino.  I really liked seeing more of Nicholas and Dare’s friendship in this one.  I know it was Nicholas’ story this time, but I really do like Dare and want to read more about him one day.  

I really enjoyed Wild Nights by Katherine Garbera.  It had all the right elements for me to keep me entertained and intrigued. From the Las Vegas landscape, to the elements of magic and illusion making me feel as though I was right there in the audience, along with some fun and flirty moments between Nicholas and Zelda. If you are a fan of magic, illusion, Las Vegas, with some bad boy friends who run a Casino then this one’s for you. 

Until next time, happy reading!!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 21, 2015

A guy of her own? She’s not holding her breath—until he steals it away.

Natalie’s girls-only weekend in Vegas is shot to hell, thanks to her friends ditching her for very sexy, very famous guys. Not that she blames them. She knows what lonely feels like. A nurse’s long hours leave little time for a social life.

Then she collides with and spills her drink all over a very fine, very exposed male chest. A chest belonging to Noah Wilde, lead singer for the infamous Wilde & Wicked rock band. Thankfully, he’s merely amused as she tries to take care of the mess she made.
he urge to tempt her along for an adventurous night of gambling, drinking, eating, and sin.

But during the harsh light of day, Noah has a change of heart. Not about the fact he likes Natalie—a lot. He’s not sure he wants to drag this sweet lady through his sordid life. Even though sparing her could cost them both a chance at forever.

•••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: WILD NIGHTS is the third installment in Karen Erickson’s adult, contemporary Vegas Nights erotic romance novella series focusing on three friends, and nurses (Andrea, Natalie, Reagan) and a weekend in Las Vegas. This is rock star Noah Wilde, and Natalie’s storyline. The three novellas run parallel to one another, covering the same timeline, wherein each woman will find her happily ever after.

While Reagan and Andrea appear to have found their Prince Charmings, Natalie will be introduced to her former teen crush Noah Wilde- the bad boy lead singer of the rock band Wilde and Wicked. Noah isn’t looking for anything permanent; Natalie knows that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, but try telling that to her heart. Six weeks will pass without a word from Noah, leaving Natalie heartbroken and depressed until a song with a very familiar title begins to climb the charts.

WILD NIGHTS is a very quick and easy read; a fast paced story of insta lust/love where two people with completely opposite life styles will find love and friendship in the city of sin. There is no explanation behind Noah’s silence and disappearance, but one phone call finds our couple professing their love and hoping for a permanent resolution.

Karen Erickson’s VEGAS NIGHTS series of novellas are fun, flirty and predictable. Three friends head to Vegas for a weekend of R&R, and each will find her happily ever after. Once again, there is a little bit of everything: fun, sex, romance and love, with a little bit of heartbreak, on the side. The $ex scenes are erotic and provocative; the world building limited to twenty four hours in the life; the sexual attraction is instant. If you are looking for some fluff and fun storylines with the focus on insta love and lust, without having to worry about broken and dangerous pasts, VEGAS NIGHTS is the perfect series to lose yourself for an afternoon.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 23, 2014

What happens in Vegas…could be a fantasy come true.

Between nursing school and starting their careers, Reagan, Andrea and Natalie have had no time for dating. After saving up for a special vacation, they’re on their way to Vegas for a long-awaited weekend of fun, sun, gambling and partying.

When their luggage goes missing, an impromptu shopping trip leads them to James, who makes them an unusual offer—to be part of the female scenery at his boss’s upcoming party. Not just any scenery, but women who are pretty in a real way, not the nipped, tucked and dyed Hollywood version.

Accept a “private party” invitation from a complete stranger? These ladies weren’t born yesterday. Yet before “no thanks” crosses their lips, Reagan discovers who James’s boss really is: Declan Carter, an actor she’s crushed on for, well, forever. Now she’s determined to be the eye candy who catches Declan’s eye. No matter what it takes…

Warning: Epic shopping trip results in meeting hot men. It is recommended that all credit cards be placed out of reach before reading.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 13, 2015

Sometimes dream crushes do come true.

Vegas Nights, Book 1

Reagan can’t believe her luck—and not in a good way. One minute she’s hanging out with her friends at an exclusive party in Las Vegas. The next, she’s attracted the attention of a famous actor. Not just any actor. Declan Carter, the man on which she used to—okay, might still—have a fangirl crush. Whose blue eyes leave her embarrassingly tongue tied.

All Declan wants is to meet a nice, normal woman who won’t use him as a stepping stone to fame. Something about Reagan tells him she could be that rare woman, and he follows his instinct to invite her back to his suite—where they proceed to have wild monkey sex. All. Night. Long.

What was supposed to be one night of no-regrets sex stretches out into a blissful weekend of two people who can’t get enough of each other. But when the glamour of Sin City wears off, they’re standing on the edge of a once-in-a-lifetime chance to turn a weekend fling into something lasting. Will they take the jump?

About the book: Release Date April 28, 2015

The sex is crazy good. Is it crazier to want something more?

Andrea and her two best friends have shed their nurses’ scrubs for a long-awaited weekend in Las Vegas, and nothing—flight delays, lost luggage, or the slightly weird guy with the sketchy invite to an exclusive bash—is going to stop their fun.

Within minutes of arriving at the opulent party, she’s deep in conversation with gorgeous, funny Luke Nelson, wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks. For some crazy reason, he can’t seem to keep his eyes—or hands—off her.

Luke isn’t looking for a hookup, he just wants to relax…until he gets one look at the classy brunette in the barely there dress. One minute they’re talking, the next they’re all over each other in a dark corner. It’s like he’s an addict and she’s the fix he’s been searching for all his life.

One night of hot sex isn’t nearly enough. But after a weekend spent never more than a few inches apart, the time is quickly approaching when they’ll have to make a long-distance relationship work—or break it off.

Warning: A lady who wants to go a little wild, a good-guy pro athlete who likes a little sass with his class, crazy good sex, and a crazy ex.
