Under the intoxicating spell of Sin City, I've never wanted a man so desperately. He's my scorching hot boss, old enough to be my father. Problem is - I'm saving myself for marriage...
So what do I do? I accidentally marry him.
That night, he took me to heights of earth-shattering pleasure I never imagined. But as the champagne buzz fades, we're hit with the gut-wrenching realization of our epic mistake.
Two opposites with no future, right? So I thought.
A five-year-old boy is left on his doorstep. How can I say no to the rookie single dad when he asks me for help? And suddenly, I'm playing house with my, uh, husband.
But as I feel our baby growing inside me… A startling thought strikes me.
Could this accidental family be the start of a love story neither of us saw coming?
Get ready to fall in love with Damien and Olivia in this spicy and heartfelt rollercoaster of a romance. It's a stand alone with a very satisfying HEA!
This is Damien and Olivia's story. This is a well written story which has family, friendships, emotions, challenges, secrets, twists and turns, intrigue, heartbreak, romance, and love which all leads to an entertaining, spicy, and heartwarming, addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.
Something seemed off with this. Like there was multiple writers with different styles or a writer who struggled with scenes… maybe.
It had great plot, at the start. Okay characters…H seemed a bit too gorgeous in the beginning but was too wishy washy for me by the middle nod and very awkward.
Plot went haywire with information and lack of consistency for me. I finished it, but don’t think I will read another one from this author
Not bad, with hp vibes. Hero is a rich 45 yo ceo that sees the heroine and wants her. But she only gives it if she’s married, so they get to Vegas, get drunk and get married. The day after they realize their craziness and agree for an annulment. Enter secret child that he had with an ex five years before and he didn’t know. She’s dead now and his aunt doesn’t want to give custody to the hero so his lawyer suggests him to stop the annulment and to pretend to be happily married so he could have more chances. He lies to the heroine and asks her to help him with the kid. She got preggo. She finds out about his deception and is angry. Drama. The hero apologizes and asks her to forgive him and to give him a chance. Drama because he can’t say ily because he’s afraid she could leave him and their kids in some years. Ok. The book was quite ok, not great. There are too many loose ends. Why his ex refused to marry him when he proposed, telling him she loved another man, but she was pregnant with his kid and never told him? I mean, the man is loaded, and eventually she died alone, so why this decision? And why the kids aunt was so determined to have the kid, even knowing her sister wronged him greatly? He’s not that bad, maybe a little fickle but he would have been good and supportive. This thing doesn’t make sense. And why didn’t he ask the heroine for help when she knew he risked to lose his child? I feel quite sad because I feel that it’s a missed chance. The hero could have been an alpha guy, since he’s older and rich and more assertive. But he acts like he’s a 20 yo hormonal guy. He’s unable to make up his mind. He’s afraid to say ily. He wants the heroine but he’s unable to tell her. So, why write a book about an older and more mature hero when he behaves like a headless chicken? Running here and there, lying, pretending, hiding. I miss those alpha heroes of olds, that saw the girl, married her and had sex with her without allowing her anything. He was not even able to do that. And his reaction to her pregnancy. He asked her if she wanted to keep it. This is something an alpha male would never do. An alpha male would be surprised but extremely pleased and satisfied that he’s fathered a child. He would also feel excited and horny since his woman is the obvious proof of his great fertility. This one was paralyzed and scared. So the only thing that stays if you take assertiveness, determination and cockiness out of the alpha is his perennial need for sex. Basically a horny middle age man who wants to have sex with a woman half his age.
Olivia Martin (24) is an intern at Blackwood Energy Solutions and has just put so much time and energy into her presentation but she was not picked to present and she is upset.

But what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas may just be the saving grace for Damian or will it? The story was great, Olivia and Damien have lots of things thrown at them, in their personal lives as well as in their professional lives. We have an age gap, boss/employee, fighting all feelings, oops type of relationship in the book. I laughed and I cried but the majority of the time I was so pissed at them. WHY FIGHT THE WAY YOU FEEL? Just jump in and enjoy escaping to Blackwood’s world.

I loved reading the story 'Accidental Vegas Vows' by Mia Mara. It was so good. The chemistry between Olivia and Damien was so beautiful and sexy. It was like they were meant to be even though they started their relationship unconventionally by getting drunk in Vegas and getting married by Elvis. She was so horrified the next morning that Damien promised her they could get an annulment. She was sure that he had just married her because she wouldn't have sex without marriage and he thought that was the case too but even after they had consummated the marriage, he found that instead of tiring of her, he constantly wanted more of her. He loved being around her and missed her when she was not with him, and she melted in his embrace every time. When Damien was presented with a five-year-old son he had never known about, Olivia moved in with him to help care for Noah. Noah quickly came to care for Olivia too and Damien was happy until Olivia started asking when the annulment papers would be ready. Noah's aunt on his mother's side was suing for custody and Damien knew it would look better for his case if he had a wife, but he knew Olivia wanted the annulment. He was so confused on what to do. It was a fascinating story that kept presenting different obstacles to their love story and well worth reading.

Accidental Vegas Vows by Mia Mara is the kind of book that hooks you from the first page and doesn’t let go. I devoured it in one sitting. The story kicks off with a classic Vegas mistake—a drunken wedding between Damien, a silver fox CEO, and his young, feisty intern, Olivia. What starts as a way for Damien to get Olivia into bed quickly turns into something much more complicated when a five-year-old boy shows up on Damien’s doorstep, flipping his world upside down. The chemistry between Damien and Olivia is off the charts, and the age gap adds that extra layer of forbidden tension. The spice level is just right, with plenty of heated moments that kept me turning the pages. While the romance between the leads is well-developed, I did wish there had been a bit more focus on Damien’s relationship with the kid. But overall, the story has a great flow, mixing the right amount of drama, steamy scenes, and heartwarming moments.
If you’re into billionaire romances with a touch of accidental pregnancy and single-parent dynamics, this one is a must-read. It’s a fun, sexy, and surprisingly sweet ride.
"I want everything that entails, and not because it’s required.”
“I love you, and I don’t deserve you.”

This was something else. I went in not expecting the plot to be so thick. I was so worried about Damien in the book. I didn't realize how involved I felt about this storyline 😂 I loved little Noah and connected with him. Olivia was such a BA fmc she was strong and never gave up. Then Damien made me upset but I understood why he acted that way. The spice wild mild but definitely there. Overall, this was a well written and interesting book to read.

Damien is curious and looks at her binder and is surprised she wasn't picked and tells her if he was picking, she would've been chosen. Then once he is in his office, he starts the necessary work of getting her hired within his company. When he has to go to Vegas for work, he takes Olivia along. Damien knows he should fight his attraction but there's something about her he can't stop thinking about. However, when things heat up between them, she tells him that she's saving herself for marriage. Suddenly he is taking them to a wedding chapel. Will they regret getting married? Will something more come from their impromptu marriage?
This is a great story that once I started it I couldn't put it down. This is a well written and very entertaining story. Its a book that any book lover would enjoy.
No matter the slight critique I'm about to handout, I must start this review by saying that I simply couldn't put the book down. I strongly contemplated adding it to my comfort reads folder. So, I liked it, actually really enjoyed it and would total read a book by the author again, her writing style was totally solid.
That being said....
A lot of things happen is this book, lots and lots of events where the main characters should have been more upset with. Even though the wildest shit went down their reaction (or lack of) left me feeling like I was the most rattled. And as a direct consequence thereof the most sane. I don't think this could be written of has the characters being mature (Intermezzo: FINALLY a agegap romance with a FMC that acs like an actual adult!). They just did not freak out enough, even when going bananas was the right thing to do.
I only have ungodly words in my vocabulary to describe the way the MMC treats the FMC. On top of it everything he does, it is done without fully comprehending how giant of a turd he is being. His actions, wow blows my mind, Olivia didn't loss her shit completely over this.
The agegap played such a small role it could have been left out 🙊 I personally like myself a little agegap romance but when it is only mentioned as him being 'twice her age' in their thoughts it just seems so unproblematic it leaves me wondering if it was worth adding.
So to sum it up; I liked it, but I need more over-the-top reactions to over-the-top events, more acceptance of being morally grey and a bit more black in the grey 🖤
Maybe I should just stick to Dark romance 🤷♀️.

Accidental Vegas Vows is one HOT story with CEO Damien Blackwood and intern Olivia Martin burning up the pages of this wonderfully written exploration of a passion that won’t be denied. After Olivia comes to the notice of the older Damien his libido goes off the charts and HR considerations or not he has to have her. Olivia unbeknownst to him has been crushing on the delectable CEO also and when he invites her to attend a company business trip in Vegas she is all on board. The big surprise for Damien comes when she admits to being a virgin and believes in no sex before marriage. Well they are in Vegas and Damien wants her BADLY! Loved this story that became so much more than a wicked good attraction between two people and combined some surprise twists, drama, emotion, family dynamics, and romance. A definite entertaining read that held me captured until the last page.

Cat’s Stats MMC/FMC- Damien and Olivia Genre- Contemporary Romance Length- about 315 pages Heat-🌋🌋🌋 featuring a virgin heroine and exhibitionism Series? N Safety? Y Triggers- explicit erotic content, odiferous cheese Tropes- Accidental Marriage/Waking Up Married, Viva Las Vegas, Workplace Romance, Surprise Baby, Accidental Pregnancy, Adorable Moppet, Single Dad, Custody Battle, I’m Going To Disneyland!, That’s Not My Leg Mewsings I found the reason for their marriage to be pretty insulting to people who save themselves for a loving marriage (I mean, the words I Do magically unlocked her legs), and I thought that the drama of him keeping secrets was manufactured and dragged out the book. Overall, I’d give the book three and a half stars because, although the story was only average, the zexytime was very hawt and Noah was a joy.

This is Damien and Olivia's story. Damien Blackwood is forty-five and the CEO and owner of Blackwood Energy Solutions. Olivia Martin is twenty-four and one of the interns working in the company. These two just happened to be in the elevator, when the power went out and it suddenly stopped. This gave Damien a chance to look over Olivia's proposal that she had researched and worked on for a long period of time. He knew Olivia was exceptionally bright and wanted to hire her. Damien wanted to be near Olivia, so he invites her to go with the group of employees to Vegas.

He’s her sexy silver fox boss, and he’s old enough to be her father. He’s also a ladies’ man, and she’s a virgin—a recipe for disaster. She’s saving herself for marriage and he wants to savor her.
A business trip to Las Vegas turns into an accidental trip down the aisle. However, an accidental marriage can become an intentional relationship, if both parties are willing to say “I will” and not “I don’t.”
Accidental Vegas Vows: a Silver Fox Boss Romance is a fun, sexy read with an unconventional approach to marriage. It’s funny and spicy at the same time. Damien is a delicious silver fox and Olivia is his perfect match, even though she is young enough to be his daughter. It’s quick paced and flows from beginning to end. I always love a good age gap romance and this is one with an interesting twist.

Damien and Olivia’s story was steamy, sexy, emotional and the chemistry was hot. What started off unconventionally became hard to deny that there was something more than one night in Vegas. Damien is her boss and is not making it easy to work with him and be in the same room at close proximity, it makes her knees weak. Neither one wants to end it and decide to put an end date of their marriage that is until Damien finds out a secret that’s been kept from him for years and now he needs Olivia more now than ever. Damien made promises to Olivia and now he has to choose between family or keeping a promise and his choice could change everything. I really enjoyed their book and look forward to more in this series.
Damien is so obsessed with Olivia that he'll even go so far as to marry her in Vegas. She's willing to help him at work & with his new son he had no idea existed until Noah was delivered to his doorstep. A heart-warming romantic novel where an impromptu marriage leads to a deeper love of the 3 of them becoming a loving family. But what about the end date with the annulment on the horizon? Will this marriage explode in his face when the truth surfaces? Damien falls hard over Olivia & has to work hard in winning her back.
Excellent novel full of love, heartbreak & forgiveness. I like how this one is so realistic with unknowns of what their future holds for this little family.

This is my first book by this author and I'm conflicted. It was a great story with lots of emotions. However the O drove me nuts at times with her wanting and demanding something that she really didn't want deep down. It made it hard for me to like her at times. For most of the book I wanted to slap her silly. I was so frustrated with her.
However, when I read the second act of what she wanted but didn't want, I finally understood where she was coming from and feeling. Which kinda made it ok. Just that I spent hours frustrated to only have like a 10mins reprieve before it all ended. Would have liked that reprieve earlier in the book so that it made the experience more enjoyable for me.
This book captured me! The cover art was perfect and the title was so mind boggling I had to read it! I enjoyed this book so much that I could not put it down. The age gap trope story had its up and downs between the FMC and the MMC. I wanted the FMC to just choose him over everything, her morals, her life, her feelings, I wanted her to choose him.
I watched as the love between them grew between them, shattered, and was repaired. I saw the fallout and the rebuild. This was a beautifully crafted story that I will definitely be adding to my personal bookshelves whenever it hits the stores to be purchased
You’ll love Damien and Olivia in this age-gap romance. Wow, what an emotional roller coaster wit no shortage of spins or turns. The author is a master story teller and this book is a great example of that. Prepare to lose a little sleep, because you won’t be able to put this book down. It has it all, boss-employee, age-gap, virgin, surprise baby or two, unplanned marriage and more. Not to mention that their chemistry is off the charts. An HEA and no cliffhanger. Beautifully written with amazing characters and a page turning plot. I received a free copy via the author and voluntarily chose to review it.

Loved it!! This is Damien and Olivia's story. Damien is forty-five and the CEO and owner of Blackwood Energy Solutions. Olivia is twenty-four and one of the interns working in the company. Their story was steamy, sexy, emotional and the chemistry was hot. Damien took Olivia to Vegas with him, then when they woke up they realized that they had gotten married. He has a rule and now what happens in Vegas perhaps doesn't stay there this time. You won't be disappointed in reading this story. Keep up the amazing work! Can't wait to read more from this author.
Intern Olivia is trapped in an elevator with CEO Damien after they both attended a meeting. While waiting for the power to come back on, she has the opportunity to ask him why her proposal wasn't accepted. He let's her know it wasn't his decision, but willingly looks at her work. He said it was a great proposal after perusing it. Thus begins a business relationship that turns personal on a business trip to Las Vegas. This story includes the introduction of a 5-year old child that was fathered by the CEO of which he wasn't aware.
I really enjoyed Damien and Olivia’s story, it began with them getting drunk and ending up getting married. On top of dealing with the fallout of what happened in Vegas, Damien found out he had a son from an ex. Things began to pile up not only with his company but his personal life as well. Olivia was also dealing with her issues plus Damien’s as well. After they got through everything I was glad that they stayed together and he finally confessed his love for her.
gives me very much "porn" with a storyline. while the story is good and extremely steamy it's sadly forgettable for me and a little absurd. so this is an inter office, age gap, surprise baby, oops we got married in Vegas story. female character is an intern at the company where the male lead is the CEO. they are very attracted to each other and while on a trip to Vegas. so the female made a promise to herself to keep her virginity until marriage. then the bright idea 💡 comes into play. get married, only to have sex... only they weren't serious, were they? it's an okay book, but nothing new.
I don't think I can trust Goodreads anymore when it comes to grades. This book was so....banal. The trope-y story was stale. I didn't care for the (virgin of course) FMC Olivia. The age gap was a non starter of a problem. Damien (MMC) was this rich CEO whose company was having money issues but that was also a non-starter. I actually got all the way through it but barely. This story lacked any witty dialogue which it desperately needed. Damien's inability to say how he felt about Olivia made his CEO skills seem questionable as well. A disappointment based on the grade.
Olivia and Damien have such a great chemistry. They connect on so many levels. Damien just has to learn to trust love again. This is their crazy love story with each other and a son Damien didn’t know about. It is a roller coaster of emotions and events but it has a great ending. The fact that they chose to remarry at the chapel is Vegas to The Beach Boys song is epic.
