Review:

What Happens in Vegas begins with a group of girls, who have been friends since college, heading to Vegas for a girls’ weekend.  Life has taken then in different directions, each facing their own issues, but they’ve remained close.  When they all arrive, they have drinks and proceed to have a good time.  Sometime later, Bonni, hits a jackpot in the casino and their reunion gets pushed into overdrive.  They are moved into a huge suite and given VIP passes to a hot nightclub.  After shopping and getting dolled up, the girls head out for the night of their lives………

Once they arrive at the club and hit the dance floor, it doesn’t take professional gambler, Quinn Bryant, long to notice Bonni.  As he approaches her, Bonni has never felt more out of place.  She’s also never felt so attracted to someone so quickly.  And, what do you know?  Neither has Quinn.  They decide that a one-night fling is just what’s needed.  If they only knew…………

What Happens in Vegas is a fun story and the first I’ve read by Shana Gray.  Bonni and Quinn were both well written.   Bonni is a great friend, a great daughter and the best friend anyone could want.  When she won the jackpot, she didn’t hesitate to treat all of her girlfriends so that they could all have even more fun.  Quinn was just awesome.  I liked how he ended up being more the pursuer than she was.  He knew what he wanted and went after it.  The turmoil Bonni felt upon learning his ‘profession’ was believable and his willingness to do anything to make her his made this story one that kept me turning the pages.  The secondary characters were fun and well written, and I can’t wait to read more about them.  If you’re a romance fan, you won’t go wrong with this quick, funny and sexy read.  Well done, Shana Gray!
