Can ‘one night only’ become ‘until death do us part?’ Sensible pediatrician Valerie Kendrick would never dream of marrying a rootless gambler she meets at a bar in Las Vegas. But spending one night in the arms of this fascinating stranger is a fantasy too tempting to resist. For one night, she can pretend to be a femme fatale. Professional gambler Roy Beaujovais has made millions of dollars, but never enough to feel complete. He’d hoped the woman with whom he spends one magical night might be the answer, but she deserts him in the morning. Only after Valerie returns, and reluctantly admits she’s pregnant, does Roy know what will finally fill the lonely hole in his life: becoming a father. He’ll have to play his best hand ever, though, to get the skittish Valerie to include him in the game.
Alyssa Kress completed her first novel at age six, an unlikely romance between a lion and a jackal. Despite earning two degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and spending nearly a decade in the construction industry, she has yet to see her feet stay firmly on the ground. She now lives in Southern California, close to where she first committed pen to paper, together with her husband and two children.
Another great contemporary romance from Alyssa Kress. I enjoyed the alternating POVS and found myself wanting to stay longer with a few people. I really enjoy this authors ability to write great supporting characters while adding the journey of the main characters.
In this humorous pregnant in Vegas romp we meet Valerie and Roy who share a night of passion with a promise of no strings- or so one them thought.
I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a humorous, angst filled, light story with just enough steam to keep you interested.
Another great bargain at $.99 on Amazon. Quality e-book at a great price.
This kind of cheesy, Mill & Boon, romance is not for me and though this book claims to have been published recently it reads like the kind of Mills book that they used to publish 40 years ago! On the plus side there isn't s SPaG error to be found any where throughout, unlike many of the self-published books I've encountered, and Kress clearly knows more than the bare rudiments of writing so she gets props for that.
I love Alyssa's books. Awe Roy and Valerie!! Loved how Roy helped out the young kid Nicky!! I loved Kenny and Cherise in the book also. The ending well you just have to read it <3
