Steam Level: 3/5
Angst: 4
Tropes: Brother’s best friend, Football Romance, One Night stand, damaged hero, fake relationship, close proximity,
Series: Vegas Aces book 2
Ends on a Cliffhanger.

This is Book 2 in this particular series. The 5 book series will follow the same couple, Luke and Ellie.

I did enjoy it this book but not as much as book one in the series.  I do feel that the first two books could have been one book together.  This book is solely focused on the  progression of Luke and Ellie’s fake engagement.  It also lays out a little more background as to the baggage that Luke brings with him.  This story does take us on a trip with Luke’s family to Hawaii for their surprise wedding in front of his family. We also get some family secrets as Ellie Meets the entire family.

Ellie really made me angry. In book one I loved her in book two I want to smack her!  She is all into Luke, even though they’re faking this whole relationship thing, but the second she sees his brother her inner monologue is going a bit crazy with thoughts of how hot he is. Her inner thoughts about Luke’s brother do not match her actions or other thoughts.  This felt random. The story has enough push and pull type angst without this.  I want to be honest the way this story ends is going to make it hard for me to pick up book 3.  If Ellie doesn’t redeem herself, I am not sure if I will finish the series.  I am really annoyed by this.
