Two souls entwined. 🫶💖
I LOVED this book!! The synopsis grabbed my attention. But the story itself pulled me in and kept me engaged until the very last sentence.
Zara and Ethan met at a Vegas wedding Zara was the wedding planner. Once they laid eyes on each other it was as if no one else was in the room. They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Zara wakes up finding out she's married to billionaire Ethan Grayson is not part of the previous nights' plans. While Zara wants to end the marriage, Ethan doesn't. What will these two decide to do? And what effect will their elopement have on Zara's business? You'll have to read it and find out. But I will say this. This was a fun, sexy, steamy, and funny read. It's fast-paced and very well written. My only complaint is that I wish it were in both the H/h pov. I would've loved to hear Ethan's words and how he felt throughout the book. But it didn't go against my rating one bit. I enjoyed this book immensely. And I highly recommend it.

Part of the Billionaire Empire Club series each can be read as a standalone with a sexy and the one who challenges him to no end. Vegas has a way of making things happen that aren’t supposed to happen 😊 Zara the wedding planner there to do a job, so many details, so much to do, getting lost in all the perfection until she locks eyes with the most sexy guys in the room and everything around her stops. Ethan sexy as all get out billionaire in Vegas for a wedding wants a partner who sees him for him not his net worth and the moment he lays eyes on the wedding planner he knows she is the one for him now to convince his girl. (they say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas) however one dance lead to some much more than waking up next to each other as husband and wife neither of the really want to end the marriage but they aren’t sure how it would work either. The magnetic pull between these two is way off the charts neither of them can ignore it but how, when, they got married is one of their questions, will they stay married, will they get an annulment, and can they have their own HEA?

What happens when a savvy wedding event planner does the unplanned? While in Vegas Zara Mitchell is busy with the many details of a wedding when she locks eyes with an intriguing man across the room. Against her instincts, she moves in his direction and shares a dance. Nothing prepares her for the next morning when she awakens in his company and realizes that she has done the unplanned and unthinkable: they are now man and wife! Her handsome new husband is Ethan; he is everything a woman could want in a husband, kind, wealthy and easy going. In addition, Ethan is in no hurry to end this unforeseen union, but can they make marriage work with all the obstacles it will bring? Ms. Hartley gives readers a sweet story with likable characters; the book is told solely from Zara’s point of view and I would have enjoyed hearing Ethan’s side of the story!.

Sweet
The story focus on the couple and their relationship-building. While you will get a slice of life's view for whirlwind marriage without introducing too many characters to keep track of. Overall this is a fun, unique read. This is the first book by this author that I have read and I enjoyed her writing. The main characters are falling in love with each other but they also complete each other. It's also is about friends finding and staying friends for years. Their companionship and sizzling passions will keep you turning pages until the end. What a sweet story and great series that I highly recommend

Boring and misleading
Was this really a BWWM story? I must have missed the description of the woman. And that would be fine except it is labeled as having a black woman as the h. I feel like in books where they give a very vague description of the woman they can get away with putting it in any category so they can get it read/bought. Aside from that this book was boring. It just didn’t catch my attention. This is my first time reading this author and I don’t think I’ll be reading more.

It's a sweet short romantic bedtime read, a hookup full of 🔥🔥🔥chemistry that leads to something unexpected. It's a decent storyline, good characters, two individuals from different sides of the tracks decide to go after the HEA 😉.

The encounter
Ethan and Zara had chemistry and connection from the first moment their eyes connected. Their journey was not overly complicated because they communicated. Ethan was more invested and comfortable with the whirlwind. A good story that ended too soon for me.

it was sweet
It as a cool short read that ended rather abruptly. I still enjoyed it despite the cut off ending. I would read more books by the author, she can built a nice story line.

UNEXPECTED
Meeting someone new usually brings new experiences. This is a wonderful story of new experiences. A change in your life. That is what this story does. It's a surprising and warm experience.

Accidental Vegas marriage
Rating: 3.5
This was a fun, quick read. Zara is the Vegas Wedding Planner; she puts her all into planning your wedding event to your dreams. While overseeing one of her events, Zara locks eyes with Ethan, a tech CEO, across the room. The two dance and realise they have chemistry.
Zara wakes up the following day to find herself in a strange room, a ring on her finger and the handsome man she danced with next to her. They are married! Ethan would love to explore their chemistry more, and since they are already married, there is no need to rush for a divorce.
Can two strangers, both with established business careers, make their accidental marriage work?

Sweet story!
The characters were likeable. However, there was nothing unique or unexpected about the story. For those romance lovers, It is a short, sweet read.

Hmm...
This is well reviewed, so I'm clearly in the minority here, but I found this a bit dull & uninspired. The drunken vegas marriage romance has been done a million times in this genre & I fail to see the point of doing another if nothing new or interesting is added. This follows the same beats as all the other vegas' wedding storylines. This being told through Zara pov solely was such a boring choice. It would have helped the story if we got Ethan perspective. Zara character wasn't compelling enough to carry this story.
