Hunter I was born irredeemably bad. Being disowned and fired from the family business proved it. Then a pink bundle showed up on my doorstep and I was begging for my job back. I’d do anything for my daughter, but didn’t know jack about being a single dad, so I did the only sensible thing—hired a drop-dead gorgeous nanny.
Charli Bently was too pretty, too young, too good for a man like me. I should have kept my hands to myself, but wanting too much had always been my downfall. One kiss led to another, then we burned up the sheets. She deserved better than a bastard like me and I refused to be the reason she didn’t chase her dreams. For the first time in my life, I was going to do the right thing…let her go.
♥♠♦♣
Charli Everyone warned me not to take a job from Hunter Dorsey. They said he was cruel, ruthless, and untrustworthy, but with no job and an abysmal bank account, I needed the money. The live-in nanny position seemed like the perfect fix to solve my financial woes. It was only temporary. How bad could he be?
His daughter was cute as a button, but her dad was a grumpy bosshole. His tyrannical behavior and mood swings gave me whiplash. Hunter was the last man I should have wanted, yet the moment our lips touched he set me on fire. Steamy nights and toe-curling kisses were an amazing benefits package, but hoping he’d see me as more than the hired help was foolish. Love wasn’t part of our deal.

ALC Review 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Behaving Badly in Vegas: Book 3 in the Vegas Love Series (can be read as a standalone) I dove into this book blindly; having no prior knowledge of the characters from books 1 and 2. The author did a very good job of setting the stage and instantly I was locked in!
Hunter “jerk face” Dorsey!!!!!! Give me a grumpy, millionaire, single dad 365 days a year because that story is gonna hit EVERY SINGLE TIME! From the minute this man entered the chat I was kicking my feet and twirling my hair! Add in the fact that he'd previously had a falling out with his family and was fighting to win back not only their respect, but his old job within the family company. Let’s just say the grumpiness was at an all time high with this one! 🤸🏾♀️😍!!!
Insert Charli, a young charismatic beauty who needed a job, a place to stay, and just so happened to be in the right place at the right time as Hunter was looking for a live-in nanny. What I instantly loved was the blaring red flags telling Charli not to take this job and to stay away from Hunter…but did she listen? Absolutely not! Oh, how we love a strong-willed, stubborn woman! After all, who else could bring a man like Hunter to his knees?! 😏😎
While this story was Hunter’s redemption arc, having basically burned every bridge with his family in prior books, it didn’t feel like the author wanted to completely transform him into a golden boy, or completely diminish his bad boy persona. That felt very refreshing because he was able to evolve as a man, while still staying true to himself; a menace lol. This man literally played pranks on his boss that had me giggling so hard! But seeing him turn into a complete cinnamon roll around Charli and his daughter…swoon!!!!
I really am a sucker for second chances. And luckily for Hunter, he was given second, third and fourth chances because he couldn’t get out of his own way at times. Charli's character was a breath of fresh air; she simultaneously helped Hunter become a better man, and helped mend the wounds of his broken family. All in all, I freaking loved this story and now I definitely want to go back and read the other books in the series!
Aaron Shedlock and Savannah Thomas were phenomenal at really bringing these characters to life!
Thank you so much Sabrina Wagner for giving me an advanced copy of this audiobook! This was my first experience with your work and let me just you will now be on my radar when I'm in need of a damn good read!
I LOVED THIS BOOK! I went into it super hesitant thinking there was no way I’d instantly like Hunter considering how much I disliked him earlier on in this series. Boy was I wrong! Sabrina didn’t make the bad boy reform into a choir boy. She showed us the heart and soul of this bad boy and why he is how he is. He was not only relatable but totally lovable. And Charli was the perfect match for him! I love me a good strong willed and sassy heroine. This book has it all. Revenge, a tad bit of suspense, love, spice, second chances, found family.. it really just checks all my boxes. We need a Tom book!!
I received an advanced copy and this is my honest review.
I could not go to sleep until I finished this book. I stayed up way too late to read it but it was worth it. I’ve read the first two and loved them but there’s something about Hunter. His redemption arc was *chefs kiss* I loved Charli’s take no shit attitude. Easy read, great plot and I would definitely recommend this to a fellow romance reader.
This book had everything I love in a romance, surprise baby, forced proximity, workplace drama, suspense, strong chemistry, banter, spice, and a fantastic redemption arc! ❤️🔥
Hunter arrives home one day to find a nearly six-month-old baby girl on his doorstep with a note. Her name is Carina Ashton Dorsey, and suddenly Hunter is responsible for a child he never knew existed. His only option is to call his father for help. The irony isn't lost on Hunter, because he was once left on his own father's doorstep, so he has some idea of what it's like to suddenly find yourself responsible for a child.
Meanwhile, Charli is recovering from an injury that has put her aerial performance career on hold. She's about to lose her flat and desperately needs a job until she can perform again. When she asks her brother if there are any positions available at Mystique, she certainly doesn't expect to bump into Hunter.
Hunter is trying to get his old position back at his father's company, but instead he's told he'll have to start at the bottom. To make matters worse, he's suspicious of the company's new CFO and starts investigating when he discovers the business is losing money and none of it makes sense.
Then there's Charli, who has just accepted a live-in nanny position looking after Carina.
Hunter may be loving, caring and completely adorable with his daughter, but with Charli? He's grumpy, demanding and definitely not easy to deal with. Thankfully, Charli is sassy, strong and more than capable of standing up to him! Their chemistry is 🔥 and the banter is absolutely chef's kiss.
There is also a mysterious woman Charli meets at the park, and something about her just doesn't feel right. Add in the suspense, and I was completely hooked. I absolutely loved Hunter's redemption arc. Watching him grow and change throughout the story was one of my favourite parts, and the characters really pulled me into the story. With the exception of the villain, of course! 😂
🎧And the audiobook narration was fantastic! Aaron Shedlock as Hunter and Savannah Thomas as Charli brought these characters to life so beautifully. Their performances kept me completely engrossed in the story. I honestly wanted to listen to it all in one day!
A fantastic romance with heart, humour, heat, suspense and characters you can't help but root for.
“I never knew true happiness before her. It changed everything. That wasn’t exactly right… she changed everything.”
This is the third book in the Vegas Love series and follows Hunter and Charli. Hunter has spend most of his life feeling like and unwanted outsider in his own family. While he is at the lowest point in his life someone leaves a 6 month old baby at his door. The claim is that it is his daughter and the mother can't take care of her. In the meanwhile, Charli, an aerial performer, who is recovering from an injury, desperately needs a job. The match to become Hunter's live in nanny is made quickly. Hunter is very demanding and their characters clash. Nevertheless this decision changes everything for them both. I loved Charli her strong character. She knows and does what she wants. Hunter on the other hand needed a little help in knowing what he wanted and at the beginning of the book he was rather arrogant. I did adore his caring nature towards “his girls”. Swoon! The chemistry between Charli and Hunter was there almost from the beginning and the tension between them was delicious. I loved that the whole romance was not the only storyline in the book. The book had also a strong family element. On top of that this story included a mystery at work that needed solving. The combination of these elements made for an enjoyable read. There was something to discover in different stages of the book.
Audio book – 5 stars I absolutely loved listening to this book in audio book format. The narration by Aaron Shedlock and Savannah Thomas was a fantastic match for the story and brought Hunter and Charli to life in a way that made the banter, emotional moments and romantic tension even more enjoyable. I also think the audio book format enhances the chemistry between the characters. Hunter and Charli have plenty of sarcastic exchanges, heated arguments, emotional conversations and steamy scenes. Both narrators brought the personality and intensity needed for those moments.
Hunter’s story exceeded my expectations and was HOT! Behaving Badly in Vegas is the third book in the Vegas Love series, but it can be read as a standalone. Hunter was the bad guy in this world, but I knew he’d have an epic tale to tell, and I was so right! Sabrina knows how to write a story! Her stories feel real…and that’s hard to do with this genre. They are not too good to be true. She represents all sides of her characters-the good and the not so great…and I can’t get enough! Carli finds herself in need of a job while she recovers, and the answer comes in the form of being a nanny for Hunter. Hunter is the black sheep of his family and is trying to claw his way back to where he belongs. A surprise at his doorstep rocks his world, but thankfully Carli is at the right place at the right time. I loved watching the two of them grow together. The dual POV adds to the heightened tension building between them. Throw in stellar side characters (I love Gia and missed her!) and some twists with a bit of mystery, and it’s just what every romance book lover needs and wants! The tension and chemistry between them is intense and hot! This is one of those books you have to talk about with your book besties and that you can’t stop thinking about.
I’m officially finished with the audiobook, and I have SO many feelings about Hunter and Charlotte! 😭💚
First of all, Hunter. Gosh, this man! He starts off as this grumpy, arrogant, completely frustrating man who has made plenty of mistakes, and I absolutely loved watching him slowly peel back those layers. He had a lot to redeem himself for, but seeing the way Carina changed him and brought out a softer, more protective side of him completely melted me.
And speaking of Carina 🥹❤️ I absolutely adored Charlotte’s interactions with her. Their bond was so sweet, and watching Charlotte care for this little baby while Hunter was figuring out how to be a father gave the story so many heartwarming moments. Carina honestly stole my heart m!
Charlotte was such a fun heroine, too. I loved that she wasn't afraid to stand up to Hunter. Their banter had me laughing, especially when she wasn't afraid to call him out and give his grumpy attitude right back to him. The two of them together were pure chaos, chemistry, and tension.
And the audiobook narration?! Aaron Shedlock and Savannah Thomas absolutely brought these characters to life. I swear, Aaron's voice as Hunter had me GIGGLING and kicking my feet. 😩🎧 There were moments where I was listening with the biggest smile on my face, and by the time I finished, my cheeks literally hurt from smiling so much.
The chemistry, the banter, the spicy moments, the family drama, the found family vibes, and Hunter slowly becoming the man Carina and Charlotte needed kept me hooked. I also really enjoyed seeing Hunter's journey of redemption, not just romantically, but with his family and himself.
This was such a fun, sexy, heartwarming Vegas romance, and listening to it made the experience even better for me.
Hunter + Charli + Carina = my weakness. 🥹❤️
Thank you so much, Sabrina, for the ALC! I had such a fun time listening to this story, and now I’m just sitting here missing these characters. 😭🎧
Redemption arc achieved for Hunter Dorsey!!! Colour me surprised because this man😤😤😤
Half way through I knew my feelings were changing when I snickered at some of Hunters’ comebacks. The whole Leonard scene in the boardroom was gold. However, Hunters personality transplant squarely starts with Carina and Charli. This, right here is where Sabrina Wagner knocked it out of the ballpark. I wondered how she would be able to make Hunter a H in our eyes and she did a fantastic job. The story felt believable and so I was convinced he was turning over a new leaf. The best part is the change in behaviour was just enough that his grumpy “jerk face” persona was still front and centre but in a more loveable way.
It was fun seeing past characters in the series and Gia is a goddess. I feel she really facilitated the family rebonding.
Thank you to Sabrina Wagner for the arc and this is my honest review
Move over Trent and Brett- Hunter just went to the top of my list of book boyfriends and let me tell you, he is 100% there to stay! Who knew the bad boy who loved to mess with people and their lives (particularly Trent's) would actually be one to have a heart of gold!
We pick up pretty much one year after Hunter had been fired for all of he shenanigans against Trent and boy oh boy was I not expecting to hear that he had gotten himself into the amount of trouble he found himself in, not was I sure how he was going to find a nanny for his daughter, but I was not expecting it to be while he was begging for his CFO job back at Mystique but let me tell you, there is more going on then just the chemistry between him and Charli!
Hunter and Charli's story had everything- sizzling chemistry from the very beginning, the true love fairy tale sort of vibe that most people only see in Disney movies, some major headbutting while learning new people and their behaviors and most importantly, the realization that dreams are extremely fluid and while the dream may have been a want in the past, there is certainly room for them to change and doors you never thought would open to do so when least expected. That is what I loved about Hunter and Charli's story the most- both were extremely content on the paths they were going down with no thought or want to explore the possibility of falling in love and then fate seemingly gave them something they both eventually couldn't live without- each other and Hunter's daughter. I think watching them both come to realize the depths of their feelings for each other all while discovering that they didn't have to give up major parts of themselves as individuals for the relationship was so fun to read. I also loved that their path to this realization wasn't all sunshine and roses, particularly when a certain mother figure shows up and starts invading their lives all while Hunter is on the verge of regaining his CFO title.
This series just keeps getting better and better and I can't wait to see what comes next- I'm hoping for Tom's story because there has to be someone out there (or behind the firewall of his computer) for a hacker like him!
This is the third book in this impressive series, and this is Hunter and Charli’s story. Hunter is the black sheep of his family, and when a baby girl is left on his doorstep, he is clueless and desperately needs to hire a nanny. Charli accepts the job as nanny, despite warning about Hunter. This is a well written story which has found family, friendships, emotions, grumpy / sunshine, opposites attract, close proximity, engaging and realistic characters, humor, witty banter, twists, tad mystery, tension, romance, undeniable chemistry, and love, which leads to n entertaining, and compelling page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.
Loved Behaving Badly in Vegas by Sanrina Wagner. Hunter is a wild man who does what he wants, regardless of consequences. He finds himself in need of a nanny suddenly, when his 6 month old daughter that he was completely unaware of, is dropped off on his door step with a note. He meets Charli who is in desperate need of a job and seems to be a good fit. Charli moves in with Hunter and Carina. Things progress. Will they fall in love? What will happen to Carina's mother? Lots of variables thrown in to this hot single dad/nanny romance. I loved it. Wagner wrote a spicy romance but also weaved in a few different story lines. Great read!
‘Behaving Badly in Vegas’ is as hot as Sin City is bright and I am here for every delectable morsel.
Hunter is at a crossroads in his life. He burned some bridges and then he found a baby on his doorstep…and everything changed…He hires Charli as a nanny while she is dealing with difficulties in her own life. As they spend more time together and spend time with his daughter, Carina, he starts to realize what's important. Hunter’s character arc is stunning and one of my favorites. He doesn't see how amazing he really is until he has faith in Charlie…and Charli learns to open her heart to her found family… Gah, I love this book so much!!!
I loved the fact that the story shows us someone asking for forgives and trying their best to make things right. It is always noble to do that. Hunter messed up big time with his family. Suddenly he has a baby girl at his door. He asks his father for help. Charli happens to be at the right place at the right time. She offers to be the nanny. Their relationship grows and becomes stronger. They end up together. But things are not always easy. They have some downsides and they made me cry. Very cute and easy to read but also full of emotions.
Loved this book!! Seriously, can be read solo or part of the series! Hunter makes you want to smack him, hug him, kiss him…sometimes all at once sometimes just one will do! Charli is a bada$$ that knows how to stand her ground and make you say damn I wanna be like her! Carina is the perfect baby! All in all…the book makes you want to cry, laugh, say wtf and give those goofy smiles! One of the best books I’ve read recently!
Such a great audiobook!! Hunter and Charli’s story completely pulled me in. He’s grumpy and arrogant at first glance but so much more to him emotionally than that. Charli is sassy and independent and the perfect match to both challenge him and support him. The chemistry sizzled from both from the jump. I wanted to shake both of them for resisting but eventually they got it together and got together lol. Overall this might be my favorite book in this series. 4.5 stars.
Sabrina does it again. I didn’t think I would like Trent but he somehow found his way into my heart. He showed us that he actually does have a heart deep down. The love he has for Carina showed him that he can open up. There are times are just want smack and times when you wanna kiss him. There are twist and turns. Very well written, the feels are all there. Can’t wait for the next book

Oh, my poor, poor heart! Hunter and Charli's romance gave my heart one intense workout. The feels, emotion, heart and heat are all abundant as the engaging storyline unfolds, so be fully prepared to be caught up in avalanche of rich feelings and lush emotions and to be left swoony.
l recently finished as an arc for this book. I loved Charli’s take no shit attitude. It's a great combination is sweet, and sassy. Great recommendation for a reader wanting to see what it's like when someone "takes a gamble."
I really love this book!! Charli is absolutly bad ass! She is so brave and hopefull and full of energy, i really love her! And Hunter…wow! So intense Love this book! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Damn it,Charlotte! Tell me no. i m no good for you or anyone else. I ll ruin you.” “I m not afraid.” Wow!
Hunter is an arrogant jerk and doesn’t appear to have any redeeming values. That is until he finds the cutest little girl left at his door, Carina. Can this little sweetie turn him around? Oh and how will he take care of her? Enter Charli who is I the wrong place,at the right time. These two are quite a pair and honestly I couldn’t put the book down as it went from crazy to crazier to ❤️🔥. To get the details you just need to read. Enjoy
I received an advance copy of this book. I will state that I have read all of her books which I loved. This one didn't disappoint. I was so engrossed in the story that I finished it in a day. I love the story between Hunter and Charli. I love how a baby can change a person life for the better. I did figure out one part of the story. I chuckled out loud a few times. Now I have to wait until her next book comes out.
I really enjoyed the story of Charli and Hunter. This is the first book I've read by Sabrina, and it won't be the last. The book kept me wanting more, and it was hard to put it down! There were some laughs and some spice but not too much. I can't wait to have this book on my shelf!
This was your typical romance. The story had a good flow and I loved the character of Hunter. It’s refreshing to see the MMC fall hard like Hunter did however I would have loved to see more in regard to how things played out with Jennifer and Hunters ultimate redemption. I felt it the story was wrapped up to quickly. Overall, this story was a quick and easy read. Good spice. No cheating which was a big plus. #netgalley

This is so well-written I didn’t skip ahead even though I found some scenes a little too long for my taste. The rivalry between the two brothers is often surprisingly funny and the emerging love story between Charli and Hunter delays gratification and is very erotic. I enjoyed the other relationships, too. I especially liked the relationship Hunter’s family had with Charli. Hunter, the hero you love to hate, is a difficult character to manage. We are taught to hate him at first and as he slowly redeems himself the author would like us to change our minds. I’m not sure I am convinced. I still hate him a little bit. Yeah, just a little bit.
This was a first by this author for me. But she definitely didn't disappoint. The Banter between the main characters was so good and I am such a sucker when the grumpy alpha gives the main fmc a nickname. I liked how there were ups and downs but they weren't over the top or unbelievable overall this was a really good story.
I received this as an ARC but my thoughts are completely my own.
In its genre, an absolutely good read! An easy read, good constructed characters and steamy scenes. And great to ‘finally’ being able to complete the third read in the series, where you get insight into the other side of certain events in the previous books.
Ohhhh Hunter!!!! Lol. Single dad, forbidden love, nanny, complicated baby momma only popped up for money. I enjoyed the banter, the spice and the character development of the MMC. This book made my ovaries weak when Miss Carina called Charli mama! Devoured this book in one day.
