The Porter Brothers #1
What Happens In Vegas.... Doesn't Always Stay There
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? Not always…
After being left at the altar by her high school sweetheart Genevieve Fennel is done with love, done with romance and done with men. Period. She’s always been a good girl, while her friends indulged in casual encounters and they seem happy and satisfied enough. So why can’t she?
Meeting NYPD officers Dane and Graham Porter in Vegas gives her an opportunity to be the bad girl she thinks she needs to be. After a night of passion, she finds herself embarrassed of her wanton behaviour, but takes solace in the fact she can put the night behind her once she returns home.
Back in New York just when she thinks she can forget what happened in Vegas, destiny shows it has other plans. When there’s a break-in at her boutique, it’s the sexy-as-sin Porter brothers who are sent to her rescue intent on stirring up the feelings of abandon she’s trying to forget.
How can she forget what happened in Vegas, when the two men who brought her to such heights of pleasure refuse to let her go so easily? Even if she does decide to open her heart to them, how can she make a choice between the two amazing brothers, both intent on winning her affections? Or maybe she doesn’t have to…

I was quite excited to start this one.
However, I felt it was not exactly what the book blurb promised.
"How can she forget what happened in Vegas, when the two men who brought her to such heights of pleasure refuse to let her go so easily? Even if she does decide to open her heart to them, how can she make a choice between the two amazing brothers, both intent on winning her affections? Or maybe she doesn’t have to…"
Which to me strongly hinted at it being a M/F/M relationship in the end.
However, this was not the case and it was more of a love triangle!
And I really dislike love triangles.
I also struggled to like Dane or Genevieve.
Dane, who just came across like an ass, hated homeless people (which as a cop, who is supposed to protect and help people was a bit harsh) and even stopped Genevieve giving a homeless man some money! And Genevieve was not his usual "club hooch" and her being inexperienced was a bonus to him. If there is something I hate in books it is the "man tart" thinking he is too good for the women who act just like he does, and then wants the near virginal women for himself when it comes down to settling down, while having no respect for the other women.
And Ginny I struggled with, maybe it was the obsession with designer labels, I just do not get, or the fact she was playing one brother off against the other, even after knowing their history and how a woman had in the past led to them not talking. But she carried this on for weeks, only stopping when she was found out, and even though she claimed to think she knew which brother she wanted.
The only sympathetic character here I liked was Graham, who quite frankly gets introduced as a character and a love interest too far in to the book, and we do not even get a POV from him till nearly 30%
The constant POV switches happened too often for me, and there was the odd occasion where we get on scene from one person, then the same scene from the other person POV.
I felt like there should have been a scene with Ginnys ex fiancée, some sort of closure given to that.
Formatting wise, at one point, the font went HUGE. I had it on the smallest setting on the kindle, but it was still just randomly big!
All in a disappointing, not what it promised from the book blurb 2 stars.

Book received in exchange for honest review.
I went into this book thinking it was going to end up being a ménage story, so I was a bit disappointed as I continued to read that it actually doesn't end up being a true ménage book. I did think that this was a formulaic and fairly predictable read, but was still entertaining.
I thought Dane was going to be a character I could like, but nope, I was no longer rooting for him after the incident with the homeless person; regardless of how one feels about the less fortunate, even for a fictional character he came across as a douche lord, and that's something not easy to do for a member of the NYPD. He was just too damny cocky and arrogant for my preferences. Although he did have the one redeeming quality in that he actually paid attention to Genevieve when she was describing what was stolen from the boutique.
Genevieve I didn't have a problem with overly much; I could understand her confusion regarding the Porter brothers, since she had only had one serious relationship. How much experience can one hope to have if you've been with one person for 8 years and that was your only experience with a relationship?
Graham is the kind of guy you would root for in the book, he's attentive and caring and actually WANTS to be in a relationship (a rare find indeed, he must be one of 16 men worldwide that wants to be in a relationship); hell, he even celebrates the one month anniversary. I've been married for almost 13 years and still will occasionally get my anniversary date wrong.
The sex scenes at the beginning of the book were pretty hot, but there weren't that many once all three were back in New York. There was a bit of angst in this book, not enough for me though. I wish there could have been more regarding the ex-wife; that was dealt with way too quickly, it was over before it really got started. The ending was somewhat abrupt, so not much of a HEA, more like a HFN ending.

Meh, this novella kept me turning pages, but ultimately this was pretty average with three wishy-washy characters. Especially, the heroine...ugh. Still, it was pretty steamy. So there's that.

For a full review check out Blame It on the Books
This book was great, but it was short, so here's a short review for a short story.
Even though there’s a love triangle it doesn’t really last the entire book, about halfway through she picks a guy.. AND sticks with it!
The beginning was so raunchy I loved it, but after 30% it stops and we don’t get it back.
A lot of people hated Dane after the homeless scene, but honestly I get it. I’m all for helping the homeless people, and helping the but they also shouldn’t be romanticized. Especially in a city like Vegas, where most people are on the street because of addiction. Maybe he should have given the guy a dollar but I don’t think that’s reason enough to hate him.
I didn’t like Dane but only because of how he treated girls, and he still wasn’t too awful.
Graham was super sweet but I couldn’t get over how both of his serious relationships had to be with a girl who he had gotten cause of his brother, I mean really. Why would you trust a girl who ran to you after your brother dumped her?
As for Genevieve I didn’t have any huge problems with her, except for when she couldn’t choose between the guys. I just wanted to yell at her and then hit her with a mop. Then she was all sad and hurt after they found out. What did she expect? They would all hug and make rainbows?
In any case it was still a cute summer read. It was pretty short but it was alright because it never got annoying. I can’t wait to read the second book in this series, I hope It holds up!

**Complimentary copy received in exchange for an honest review**
A solid 3.5 stars for the sexy quickie that should serve as a reminder that what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.
Ginny finds herself on a solo honeymoon after being left by her fiancé mere minutes before the ceremony. After meeting the super sexy NYPD officer Dane and indulging in some flirting and some hot sex in his suite she decided to give him a surprise BJ... Except Dane neglected to tell her he was sharing the suite with his identical twin brother Graham (also NYPD)... Cue some steamy 3-way action before Ginny flees back to New York...
After her store in NY is broken into.... NYPD officer Dane shows up to deal with the crime... And so begins the tug of war between Dane, Ginny and Graham...
Although a little bit cheesy at times and predictable I found this to be an enjoyable and sexy quick read with a decent story line and a love triangle featuring two hot twin cops... I would recommend this book to anyone searching for a fast, flirty read with a hot sex scene or two!

This book had my mind going in 20 different directions the entire time I was reading it. I felt as though I was in a constant state of confusion when it came to Genevieve's feelings for the 2 brothers. After reading the blurb, I expected this book to be completely different than what it was. Going into this book, I must admit, I thought it would end up being a relationship between the 3 people involved. While not trying to spoil anything for future readers, I feel I should state that I couldn't have been more wrong with that assumption. This does end with a HEA and there appears to be future books about the other characters from this book. I will definitely continue to read the series even though I had a so/so reaction to the first book.

4.5 Star Review What Happens in Vegas… Doesn’t Always Stay There by Terry Towers
Audio Review:
Terry Towers is a new author to me although I have listened to several books by narrator Meghan Kelly.
This was a great audio book which grabbed and held my attention from the first chapter till the last.
After being left at the altar in Vegas, Genevieve Fennel throws caution to the wind and embarks on a one night stand with NYPD officers Dane and Graham Porter. Shocked by her behaviour she flees the morning after, returning to New York safe in the knowledge that she won’t see Dane or Graham again. All she wants to do is forget their decadent night together.
Of course fate is fickle and when a break in occurs, she is shocked that it is Dane and Graham who come to her rescue.
Both Dane and Graham are determined to bring out her inner goddess. Can she accept what they both have to offer or will she be forced to choose?
Meghan Kelly did a great job with the narration, her voice is easy to listen to and enhanced my listening pleasure.

Again she write an amazing book I read in 2 hours I could not put it down. it was so so good I can't tell you enough about it.
Genevieve Fennel is a beautiful smart successful women so why did she get stand up on the alter by her high school sweetheart and that saddens me because I've been with my high school sweetheart for 15 yrs. I can't imagine how hurt she was especially the reason why it happened. Nope not going to tell you about that it's telling to much. So she goes to Vegas on her own honeymoon because it wasn't refundable so why waste the money. She meets Dane while playing slot machines and was attracted automatically and decides to do something she never done in her life.
NYPD Dane and Graham Porter are in Vegas because Graham is the same predicament so his brothers says lets go why not. So when Graham meets Ginny he couldn't believe his eyes when she did something he didn't expect but she thought he was his twin brother opps big mistake on her part Graham didn't mind. But when Dane finds them he is shock so when she notices she is embarrassed but then something big happens.
When back in New York she didn't expect to see them but when her store gets broken in and Dane shows up she couldn't believe it hundreds of cops and he shows up. Then things start to happen and she gets confused and the brothers fight over her who does she pick huh.
Go read and find out you will not be disappointed Terry Towers books are always good so don't just buy this one go look into her others because there good.

This story was fun! And I loved the bit of taboo appeal it had with the two brothers involved in threesomes. I also thought the initial backstory of the book was different and not the typical cookie cutter formula into starting a story which in turn was refreshing.
There wasn't too much heavy drama in here. Any conflict that comes up is usually solved pretty quickly so not much angst. Was frustrating when they all jump the worst conclusions so quickly. My only complaint is I just feel bad that one of the brothers end up alone in the end. In some way I was kind of hoping for a polyamory for all of them to end up together. But that'd be pretty gross wouldn't it? LOL I just wanted a HEA!
The sex was hot. Could've been even hotter. I wish there was more threesomes in it. Because that's when the steaminess really kicked in!
All in all a decent book. 4 Stars for being entertaining. Much love and thanks to the author Terry Towers for this ARC.

I really enjoyed this book! :D
From the start, I was intrigued on how they met and got down and dirty :)
Though in between for it it got a little slow, but as soon as the pace picked back up and I got more time on my hand - I couldn't put it down. Those sexy brothers made it worth wild :3
The sex scenes were wonderful ^o^
And yes - I am eager to see Dane getting his HEA since it'll be near impossible for me to get to him xD
Though this was short it was sweet and it left me with a smile so kudos to that! ^_^

I liked this story and also the hot scene in Vegas.. Whoa... Ginny and Graham are a great couple. I was torn between Graham and Dane, I couldn't decide if I wanted Ginny to be one or the other. Although it turned out better for Graham.

Sibling rivalry at its best.
An okay story that I have read ages ago but it obviously didn’t stick in my mind.
Not a true ménage but more of a love triangle until Genevieve makes her decision about which brother she wants half way through the book. But then tangled emotions and nasty ex wife cause havoc.
The twin brothers thing was interesting and the ending was different.
Didn’t really care for Dane that much and wasn’t backing him. Too much of a hypocrite and a player.
Graham was nicer but still had married his brother’s ex-girlfriend. Big no no.
The background history between these two brothers was sad and funny at the same time. Dane cannot commit to a woman and this has caused a problem with his relationship to his brother Graham. Graham cannot seem to find a woman on his own that is not a cast off from Dane.
Wonder if Dane ever gets his own story?

2 Stars!!
Basically this book is about Genevieve who was dumped by her fiance right before she was supposed to walk down the aisle. They had non-refundable honeymoon plans in Vegas so she decides to go solo since so much money was invested in the trip and she didn't want to waste it.
Dane is in Vegas and meets Genevieve. They discover that they are both from New York and hit it off and end up going out and then end up back at his hotel room. The next morning something happens and Genevieve is in for a shock when she walks out of the bedroom naked to discover who she thinks is Dane and ends up giving him a blow job. She soon finds out that it wasn't Dane, but was his twin brother Graham!
Graham was taken to Vegas by his twin brother Dane to get his mind off his own problems. He went through a divorce after finding his wife having sex with the FexEx guy on their new kitchen table.
After Dane witnessed Genevieve and Graham together he decides to propose the idea of a menage between the 3 of them. After some reluctance, Genevieve ends up going through with the menage with the twin brothers only to freak out the next morning when she wakes up in bed with them and realizes what she did and rushes out.
Well.... as the title says "What Happens In Vegas.... Doesn't Always Stay There"!! Fast forward a couple weeks and Genevieve has a break-in at her boutique and expensive merchandise is stolen. The cop that shows up to take the report is Dane!
Dane and Graham haven't spoken much about Genevieve after she left them in Vegas the morning after their menage. Despite what either brother says, she had gotten under their skin and both have feelings for her they don't want to admit to the other.
The story goes on and on and Genevieve ends up spending time with both brothers individually. They don't know about the other being in touch with her and keep times they are with her quiet due to a history they have had with issues with a woman - Graham's ex-wife - causing problems with their relationship previously.
Eventually they find out they have both been spending time with her and both are jealous of the other. Neither is willing to share her so Genevieve has to make a choice between Dane and Graham.
Why this is a 2 star book for me:
There are hurdles the characters in this story have to overcome (which is normal of any book), but really nothing major and nothing that really held my interest long. Seems like whenever there was a conflict, it was resolved within a few pages and it didn't work in my opinion. Granted I don't like major conflict to go on and on in books and be dragged out, but it seems that the problems, no matter how big, were gotten over too quickly to be realistic for me.
I also feel that she knew which brother she wanted, but was stringing the other one along for too long. If she made her choice she should have let the other go rather than ultimately hurting him more because he felt more for her than she did him.
For the first 20% of this book I honestly didn't know if I would be able to finish it and had contemplated stopping it several times. It seemed like it was a slow start before an actual story developed.
I also found quite a bit of errors with grammar in the book. I'm a person that picks up on the small grammar issues that others may not and usually overlook them if I can, but there was too many for my liking and I had to read some sentences a couple times to actually understand what was supposed to have been said.
Another problem I had was that while it distinguished which character's POV it was throughout most of the book (whether it was Genevieve, Graham or a few times Dane's) and it got so that there was a span in the book when it didn't let the reader know who's POV it was. It was obvious once you read it that the POV had changed and who's it was, but it didn't clarify that there was a POV change at times. Also when it was in one character's POV, I felt as if it sometimes changed to another character's POV for a brief time and while minor, it threw me off a few times.
I was also disappointed at the ending. It was very abrupt and I kept thinking that it couldn't possibly have ended where it did. After "The End" was typed at the end of the book, there is a note from the author about "Would you like for to find the love he deserves? Then let me know". And while I am reading that author's note I am thinking to myself - Where is the rest of the story for Genevieve and the brother she chose?? I can't remember the last time I had a story end in such an odd place honestly. The story felt incomplete to me and I was left wondering where the characters go from here and what happens for these two characters in the future. While the note at the end for wanting to know if the brother Genevieve didn't choose finds love was great in all, I want to know what happens with the two primary characters in this book!! I was left disappointed by the book overall.
If you've read my reviews before then you know I have said it before, but I HATE to give negative reviews about a book. I know author's work hard and are proud of their work, but as much as I hate not giving positive feedback about this book, I am always brutally honest when I have issues with a book (despite not liking to have to be).
If you don't mind M/F/M menage at the beginning of the book and the book sounds interesting to you, I don't discourage others from trying this book. I can't say that I will read it ever again, but others may like it even if I found many things that just didn't work for me. Everyone has their own tastes in books and there are others I'm sure that would love the book despite what my issues were and I don't want my review to discourage others from trying this book if it interests you.

After Dane witnessed Genevieve and Graham together he decides to propose the idea of a menage between the 3 of them. After some reluctance, Genevieve ends up going through with the menage with the twin brothers only to freak out the next morning when she wakes up in bed with them and realizes what she did and rushes out.
Well.... as the title says "What Happens In Vegas.... Doesn't Always Stay There"!! Fast forward a couple weeks and Genevieve has a break-in at her boutique and expensive merchandise is stolen. The cop that shows up to take the report is Dane!
Dane and Graham haven't spoken much about Genevieve after she left them in Vegas the morning after their menage. Despite what either brother says, she had gotten under their skin and both have feelings for her they don't want to admit to the other.
The story goes on and on and Genevieve ends up spending time with both brothers individually. They don't know about the other being in touch with her and keep times they are with her quiet due to a history they have had with issues with a woman - Graham's ex-wife - causing problems with their relationship previously.
Eventually they find out they have both been spending time with her and both are jealous of the other. Neither is willing to share her so Genevieve has to make a choice between Dane and Graham.
Why this is a 2 star book for me:
There are hurdles the characters in this story have to overcome (which is normal of any book), but really nothing major and nothing that really held my interest long. Seems like whenever there was a conflict, it was resolved within a few pages and it didn't work in my opinion. Granted I don't like major conflict to go on and on in books and be dragged out, but it seems that the problems, no matter how big, were gotten over too quickly to be realistic for me.
I also feel that she knew which brother she wanted, but was stringing the other one along for too long. If she made her choice she should have let the other go rather than ultimately hurting him more because he felt more for her than she did him.
For the first 20% of this book I honestly didn't know if I would be able to finish it and had contemplated stopping it several times. It seemed like it was a slow start before an actual story developed.
I also found quite a bit of errors with grammar in the book. I'm a person that picks up on the small grammar issues that others may not and usually overlook them if I can, but there was too many for my liking and I had to read some sentences a couple times to actually understand what was supposed to have been said.
Another problem I had was that while it distinguished which character's POV it was throughout most of the book (whether it was Genevieve, Graham or a few times Dane's) and it got so that there was a span in the book when it didn't let the reader know who's POV it was. It was obvious once you read it that the POV had changed and who's it was, but it didn't clarify that there was a POV change at times. Also when it was in one character's POV, I felt as if it sometimes changed to another character's POV for a brief time and while minor, it threw me off a few times.
I was also disappointed at the ending. It was very abrupt and I kept thinking that it couldn't possibly have ended where it did. After "The End" was typed at the end of the book, there is a note from the author about "Would you like for to find the love he deserves? Then let me know". And while I am reading that author's note I am thinking to myself - Where is the rest of the story for Genevieve and the brother she chose?? I can't remember the last time I had a story end in such an odd place honestly. The story felt incomplete to me and I was left wondering where the characters go from here and what happens for these two characters in the future. While the note at the end for wanting to know if the brother Genevieve didn't choose finds love was great in all, I want to know what happens with the two primary characters in this book!! I was left disappointed by the book overall.
If you've read my reviews before then you know I have said it before, but I HATE to give negative reviews about a book. I know author's work hard and are proud of their work, but as much as I hate not giving positive feedback about this book, I am always brutally honest when I have issues with a book (despite not liking to have to be).
If you don't mind M/F/M menage at the beginning of the book and the book sounds interesting to you, I don't discourage others from trying this book. I can't say that I will read it ever again, but others may like it even if I found many things that just didn't work for me. Everyone has their own tastes in books and there are others I'm sure that would love the book despite what my issues were and I don't want my review to discourage others from trying this book if it interests you.

After being jilted at the altar Genevieve goes on holiday to use the honeymoon suite which had already been paid for. There she meets the Porter brothers who just happen to be identical twins. Can you imagine what goes on there? Sorry, you'll have to either read the book or listen to the audio yourself to find out.
Anyway, they all go home and .... Well, let me just say that this was a really enjoyable, fun, story and I loved it.
This was the first story I have listened to by author Terry Towers and I hope to either read or listen to more from her.
What's more, the narration by Meghan Kelly was superb. She is a true professional and her voice acting is remarkable.
I requested and listened to the audiobook version and my voluntary and unbiased review is recorded above.

Read on Radish. Not a ménage as advertised but rather a triangle. Ginny, Dane, and Graham have some issues that make the story rather unremarkable. Steamy scenes but not my favorite as it get like the story just abruptly ended.

This MFM short story was cute but I prefer MFM where all three end up together in a committed relationship. Here the woman had to choose one brother, she was not able to keep both. ☹️
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
May 14, 2015
First off, this is not a menage!! I can't tell if that's a spoiler or not because I would not have read this book if I had known it was just a bad love triangle. I HATE love triangles. You get attached to all the characters only to feel cheated when, at the end, one of them is left alone, sad, & unloved. Which is exactly what happened.
This is a book where a woman starts out with one brother & ends up with the other. There is ONE threesome in a story that takes place across several months. I couldn't tell exactly how many months, but lets say 3. With approximately 3 hours of threesome time, that leaves 717 hours, give or take, of a story about one guy & one girl. Then a different guy & that same girl. They DO NOT all end up together at the end. Again, I would not have read this book if I had known that. And unless there's a 2nd book to this where the other brother finally matures past his own insecurities & joins the relationship not just for a night, this synopsis is misleading. The synopsis for this story clearly makes it sound like she wont have to chose between the two, but she most definitely does. So nope, you get the excuse that one brother, while clearly in love, can never grow passed his player ways, can never get enough confidence in himself to man up & commit, and he just gives up. It was a ridiculous excuse. I would not recommend this book to people looking for a menage story. This is not for you.
Also, Genivieve is extremely materialistic. I realize this is her job, in a sense, but that only needs to be related to the reader in direct connection to the things stolen from her shop. She just came off as vapid & shallow to me. I don't need to know, nor care do I care to know the name brand of everything she wears, from her shoes, dress, purse, lipstick, and how much every single thing costs throughout the whole story. I felt like I was back in high school reading Sixteen magazine. "She wore hot, strappy stilettos & a designer, too short dress the matched her cherry red lips to a T." THAT'S all I need to know. THAT'S what sets the scene. Not a price tag.
Sadly, with a little bit of time spent on character growth, this could have been an excellent book. The first sex scene was totally fade to black, but the rest were hot. This story could have been so much more. I'm not sure why the author made this choice, & can only assume it was to get readers attached to the left over brother, so she can have a sequel for everyone to buy where he finally does grow up & finds his own woman. Unfortunately, I've already watched him have hot sex & fall in love with another woman, & have no interest in buying another book to do it again in what will feel like a 2nd place relationship. Call me, however, if the author chooses to continue with the original threesome, though.

What Happens In Vegas....Doesn't Always Stay There by Terry Towers
Genevieve Fennel is a boutique owner about to marry her high school sweetheart. Thirty minutes before the wedding, yes thirty minutes, the groom to be says he doesn't think he can do this. Genevieve "Ginny" is obviously devastated and in an act of anger, marches into the church and announces that the wedding is off and why. The next chapter is her in Las Vegas, on the honeymoon that couldn't be refunded. She wants to do something fun and maybe wild but she's always been the "good girl".
Dane Porter is playing cards at one of the tables in the casino and sees Ginny playing a slot machine. He's instantly drawn to her which kind of shocks him since she's not his usual type. He walks over to where she is and starts to play the machine next to her. They strike up a conversation and end up spending the evening together. The next morning, after a hot encounter in the shower the previous night, Ginny walks out of the bedroom to see Dane sitting at the table. She walks over, naked mind you, and proceeds to go down on him.
Graham Porter is shocked at the female on her knees before him. She's absolutely beautiful and exactly his type. He kind of tries to stop her from going down on him but he is man. After the deed is done, Ginny notices a scar that she didn't see the night before and questions him on it. Before Graham can answer, Dane answers for him. From there it gets pretty interesting.
I enjoyed this story quite a bit. The things I liked were that Ginny was endearing with her twenty-five extra pounds, Dane really liked Ginny though she wasn't what he usually went for and Graham was a really good guy. The things I didn't like were that Dane didn't man up quick enough if he really wanted Ginny, Graham could've stopped the blow job scene before it was finished and should've. I really liked Graham through most of the book, Dane through some of it and Ginny through all of it. There was plenty of hot sex and enough love to make it sweet. I would like to see Dane get his HEA.
This book was sent to me by the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Terry Towers.

This would be the first romantic (if you can call it that) book I've read. Really wasn't expecting all of the explicit language and strong sexual scenes, but they certainly got the imagination going. Plot was pretty good as well. Seems plausible.
For the most part, I thought the book was very well written. Different points of view gave you good insight into each character's thoughts. The story developed nicely, skipping spans of time right when it might have become repetitive or boring. Quite a few unexpected twists and turns to get you through to the end. Overall, very enjoyable listen. Just make sure you don't listen within earshot of coworkers. It gets pretty steamy and graphic!!!
As for the narration, I thought she did a really good job telling the story and inflecting emotion into the voices mostly when I felt it should be there.Only two things really caught my attention in a negative way (but didn't really impact the story, mostly just noticing them on occasion). First, it must be hard to reference certain body parts over and over again without using the same words, and still make it sound appealing/attractive. Don't think I could do any better, but I feel it gets a little silly when you start using weird words to describe sexual situations or body parts. For my mind, just call it what it is and use the word as many times as necessary to get through a scene, but a few times, I felt like I was back in junior high, snickering over a dirty word! Second, there were a couple of occasions where it felt like words or phrases had been dubbed over or inserted almost as an afterthought. The volume would dramatically go up or down, the tone of voice suddenly shifted dramatically where it wouldn't be expected, and just a few other nuances like that. Again, neither really detracted from the story and it had a good ending to my mind.
Great job from both the author and narrator. Very enjoyable listen!

This book was enjoyable from beginning to end. I appreciated the creative departures from what I've come to expect from a menage romance...the least of which involves one or more of the male characters insisting that the lucky lady make a choice, instead of the more common storyline where the mutual objective of both men is finding a woman to share...
The character development for each of the three lovers was detailed enough that their subsequent choices and actions throughout the story felt authentic. Their specific assets and flaws were well communicated within the writing, ultimately allowing the reader to become more sympathetic with the internal conflicts each of them faced as the story progressed. The good boy/bad boy theme was present, yet not overexaggerated, effectively making the male characters more relatable.
The sex scenes in Vegas were hot, with the sexual tension between Dane and Genevieve so intense is was palpable. Because they had such great chemistry as a couple, I was actually a bit disappointed when Dane suggested sharing her with Graham. But, then again, who can argue with the appeal of being passionately ravaged by not one, but two, incredibly gorgeous and sinfully masculine men...who also happen to be twin brothers...mmmm...the perfect blend of delicious and naughty!
The only negative of this book for me was that the book felt like it lost a little momentum in the second half of the story, with the focus shifting from intense carnal pleasure to sensual romance...it felt a little like a sexual encounter that starts out with a mind-blowing orgasm and ends with smoldering foreplay. Not a bad thing, but unusual because I've come to expect the story to reach the ultimate climax at the end...(pun intended)
Highly recommended for a sexy read with unexpected emotional depth.

I was given this story by the author for an honest review. It’s probably closer to 3-½ stars, but not enough to push it to a 4.
I think this started out with a bang. We have Genevieve, who has been dumped almost at the altar by her cheating fiancee. Kinda cheesy, but at least he came clean before the marriage! And, since the honeymoon suite in Vegas was prepaid and non-refundable, she heads out there on her own to get away from everything. And meets Dane. They have a great time, great chemistry, and when the time comes to say goodnight, Ginny decides to take a chance and see if her lack of a wild sex life with her ex was her fault or his. Turns out it was totally the ex. And in the morning, Ginny meets Dane’s twin brother. Whom she didn’t know existed. And who tried really hard to inform Ginny, but once Ginny’s mouth was on him, he couldn’t resist. Which leads to some humiliation, and then checking off a bucket list item for the three of them.
Who would have known that once they all got back to New York, they’d be thrown together again? Certainly not Ginny, who had snuck away from Vegas the morning after. How many people are in New York City? What are the odds? But that’s what happens.
So I was a little disappointed by a couple of things, but ultimately, it was a good story:

Interesting storyline, with a few twists...
What Happens in Vegas is a book about two brothers, NYPD Officers Dane and Graham Porter and their chance meeting of Genevieve (Ginny) Fennel ,who has gone to Vegas after being left at the altar by her high school sweetheart - simply awful. She’s hurt and sad but doesn’t want to waste all that money she spent on their honeymoon (because it was non-refundable) so she goes to Vegas solo. Whilst playing the slots she meets Dane and decides to do something she’s never done in her life, a one night stand.
Ginny also meets Graham, Dane’s brother in a very interesting way. They end up having a night of pleasure m-f-m ménage and she leaves the brothers and does the walk of shame after a freak out, leaving Vegas and going home, hoping to forget what had happened.
Without going into too much detail because I’d give the storyline away, but basically she struggles to figure out which brother she actually wants to be with. I loved both of the brothers, and I can understand why she had so much trouble making a decision. To know who she picks you will have to read the book.
This book had some pretty hot moments and I enjoyed it. I was not disappointed by Terry Towers as I have read another of her books and enjoyed it. I did feel that the story ended abruptly and would have liked to have seen this story go on a little to explain the chosen brother’s life with Ginny. This is a book that I would recommend if you can look past a few editing issues and the abrupt finish, but all in all I give it three point five stars and round it up to four stars.

Interesting storyline, with a few twists...
What Happens in Vegas is a book about two brothers, NYPD Officers Dane and Graham Porter and their chance meeting of Genevieve (Ginny) Fennel ,who has gone to Vegas after being left at the altar by her high school sweetheart - simply awful. She’s hurt and sad but doesn't want to waste all that money she spent on their honeymoon (because it was non-refundable) so she goes to Vegas solo. Whilst playing the slots she meets Dane and decides to do something she’s never done in her life, a one night stand.
Ginny also meets Graham, Dane’s brother in a very interesting way. They end up having a night of pleasure m-f-m ménage and she leaves the brothers and does the walk of shame after a freak out, leaving Vegas and going home, hoping to forget what had happened.
Without going into too much detail because I’d give the storyline away, but basically she struggles to figure out which brother she actually wants to be with. I loved both of the brothers, and I can understand why she had so much trouble making a decision. To know who she picks you will have to read the book.
This book had some pretty hot moments and I enjoyed it. I was not disappointed by Terry Towers as I have read another of her books and enjoyed it. I did feel that the story ended abruptly and would have liked to have seen this story go on a little to explain the chosen brother’s life with Ginny. This is a book that I would recommend if you can look past a few editing issues and the abrupt finish, but all in all I give it three point five stars and round it up to four stars.

Ginny was left at the altar on her wedding day 8 years with her high school sweetheart down the drain. Now she has a Honeymoon in Vegas to go on all by yourself when she meets handsome Dane she finds herself enjoying his company and wondering at the possibilities. they enjoy a night of passion and more comfortable with herself than ever before she goes out in the penthouse he's staying in to give him all morning surprise of course the surprise was on her but it wasn't Dane she saw that his brother Graham. the connection is there immediately and the three and enjoy each other and the new experience but when morning comes Ginny runs. Now weeks later a break in at her boutique has her coming across the brothers once again sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay there.
Ginny was heart broken by Alex but when given the choice at living life again she goes for it showing her strength. Dane is generally a playboy moving from one flavor of the week to the next but he sees something special in Ginny and goes with it. Graham has his own heartbreaking situation he's deeling with but with Ginny he sees a future and will do anything to make sure she sees it too. Between two brothers might have been fun in Vegas but can it really last in their real lives?
I enjoyed the storyline and seeing things from all three of their prospectives throughout. Each character has their own personality and you see them come out. I enjoyed watching the story unfold and how they all delt with the situation and I'm definitely excited to see more of the Porter brothers in the future.
