Review
This book starts off with us learning a little bit more about the closed off abrupt Draegyn. Drae is talking us through his past and his family life, we get to understand more as to why he is like he is. We also get to meet Tori, tori seems a little bit of a shy girl, but once she opens her mouth she is quite the little spitfire.
Drae comes in last minute to attend the wedding of Lacey and Cam, so he doesn’t know who the girl in the shadows is until he approaches her. She is the new assistant to Alex. Meaning she is going to around a lot, this seems to unsettle Drae who can’t stop thinking about the little assistant. “She’s piqued his curiosity, that was for sure. If he were being honest, he’d have to admit that the way she had run off threw him just a bit. Usually, his well practices charm earned him more than a quick dismissal.”
Tori is hiding from a recent scandal and likes to keep herself sheltered and isolated. She doesn’t want any attention from anyone and goes out of the way to ensure this happens, until Drae. One emotional night for her turns into much more when Drae comes to her side and comforts her. The tension between the two soon escalates into a full out holy smokes session against a wall. Well until one of them seems to halt the brakes, and dismisses it causing hurt feelings. “It was just a kiss, Victoria. No big deal.”
Unfortunately for Drae and Tori they are expected to spend 3 days in each other’s company sorting out an issue in Vegas. The passion and heat between these soon kicks up a few hundred notches when they are alone in their room. Meeting some new friends along the way, we soon discover that what happens in Vegas, doesn’t stay in Vegas. It follows you home. They bring back with them not one but two secrets, both of which are life changing.
I love the banter between Tori and Drae, they both don’t like to back down and they both want to stick it to the other. This leads to a few rather comical discussions between them. When things go wrong from the things that happened in Vegas, the fallout is not pretty. We have a few annoyed males, an emotional female, a letter of resignation and a shock to the system for the playboy Drae.
The book had the perfect ending to Tori and Drae’s story. They got the outcome that I felt they deserved and I was pleased that he finally got himself together and realised what he was missing. Well done Suzanne on another fantastic and gripping book. Looking forward to Alex’s story.
