Vegas Nights #2
Claimed
For a Hollywood heiress, Ruby Barrett has always lived a somewhat unsensational life. Her talent combined with her name had gotten her a good job, and she is engaged to marry the only boyfriend she has ever had. Her life is good – good enough to be some people’s dream, but she finds herself wanting more.
When she gets the opportunity to spend her twenty-fifth birthday at Rojo, a destination BDSM resort in Las Vegas, she knows she can’t pass up the opportunity – even if it means leaving her reluctant fiancé behind for good.
Jase Oliver lives life by his own rules. A club owner by day, and a confirmed bachelor by night, he has never felt the urge to settle down. He’s always known that happily ever after isn’t on the cards for him.
His playboy ways have never been an issue, yet suddenly he can’t help the feeling that something is missing. When his life is turned upside down by the arrival of a red-headed vixen, who just happens to be his best friend’s sister-in-law, he suddenly doesn’t know which way is up. Even as he fights his inner demons, he finds himself wanting the whole white picket fence shebang.
When Jase runs away, and her left behind fiancé chases her to Vegas, Ruby has a decision to make. Does her future lie in the past, with Trevor? Or in the present with Jase?

TRUST—EXPERIENCE—ENJOY
The Vegas Night series picks up from book one, Collared, that featured Pax and Diamond, and their relationship. Now with book two, which could read as a standalone, but why would you not want to read Collared first? Diamond’s sister, Ruby, is ready to celebrate her twenty-fifth birthday and Diamond wants to offer her a wonderful experience. Diamond lives a D/s lifestyle and plays at their club, Rojo, with her husband, Pax. Now is she trying to play matchmaker with their friend, Jase, and her sister, Ruby?
The story will have several key characters from book one, Pax and Diamond, who are now married, and Jase, Pax’s best friend, and the operator of Aubergine, a club. Jase is a Dominant, a player but has no designs on settling down, nor planning for a committed future, and no white-picket-fence-happily-ever-after dreams. He didn’t have the happy home life as a child and didn't see it be in his future either.
The plot will have Ruby upset with her live-in fiancé Trevor when he has the same plans for her birthday that she had done every year since she was fifteen when they first got together. When she informs him she wants something different, exciting, and to go to Vegas, to Rojo, her brother-in-law’s BDSM club, he considers that lifestyle wrong and perverse. What does a girl do, she packs a suitcase and takes off on her own adventure in Vegas. “Obey all the rules, miss all the fun.”
The story is full of angst, anger, hurt, betrayal, desires, dreams, fantasies, and getting from point A to point B isn’t necessarily easy. There is a love-hate chemistry between Jase and Ruby, and their relationship/friendship will go on a major emotional roller coaster ride. “You deserve things I can’t give you.” Shattered fantasy, broken dreams, and a trip back to reality and life leaves her empty. Trevor will never change, and she knows she cannot continue down the road of a sedate vanilla lifestyle. “Vegas had really just been about sowing wild oats.” Dipping her toes in the water of D/s left her craving more and not finding the answers she wanted to experience.
What happens when two people who have chemistry but because of fear, never found their connection, are both unhappy? How far will someone who cares about both of them be willing to go to help bring them together? Will the fantasy of BDSM, punishments, D/s lifestyle remain just a fantasy or will it become a reality? For Jase and Ruby, they will each have to take a leap of faith and step outside of their comfort zones, and just maybe the reality will far exceed the fantasy.

Really loved this book, a great addition to the Vegas Nights series.
TEE. Trust, Experience, Enjoy.
That's what Ruby's 25th birthday weekend is all about. The author did a wonderful job of pairing her with Jase. His experience in BDSM is exactly what the inexperienced Ruby needs. The hot sexual energy is combustible, the plot line well thought out and seeing main characters Diamond and Pax from Collared, book 1 of the series interact was great fun.
This book can be read as a standalone however why miss all the sexy fun in book 1.

Another sexy heart clencher!! This is the sequel to Collared. While you could read as standalone- DON'T! Collared was amazing too! That book featured Pax and Diamond, and I loved that they had a prominent role in this book too. This book was about Diamond's sister, Ruby and Pax's best friend, Jase. I loved them both. They were both were drawn to each other but were conflicted and this led to a lot of angst and a really compelling story. They sexy scenes were sizzling hot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

I loved this book. It was well written and the characters had real depth. I adored the way the author began this tale with Ruby fantasizing about her ideal scene with a dominant man and the end of the book... well no, I won't share that with you because it will spoil the end for you and other readers!
This is a sexy story, one that explores the dynamics of becoming a couple and staying together just because, or being brave enough to go out and look for what you actually want from a relationship.
I can tell you that this tale has the perfect HEA.

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. Ruby has been with Trevor for 10 years. 10 long vanilla years. After a birthday trip to see her sister and her Dom husband, she wants someone like their Dom friend, Jase. He finally gives her a taste of heaven. She now knows what she wants and needs and she knows she will never get it from Trevor or Jase. Can she go home and settle? BDSM, spanking, anal punishment.

Knowing that Rayanna Jamison has written this story promises a steamy hot story with drama, passion, romance and sexy scenes, that does not disappoint! So, ladies you know what to do... sit back, relax, serve yourself a glass of wine and get ready for a panty melting story... Once again, the premise is unique, the writing is well crafted and the reader is treated to a great story.

I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy for an honest review. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Read it all in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. It’s both a sweet love story and a heated romance, with spanking and so much more. The characters were interesting and the plot well written. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a sexy romantic read!

Love, Love it
Wow this is a great book in the Vegas Night Series. Ruby and Jase are just what I was hoping for. The writing, the building of the characters, the whole story is done excellently. If you read Collared you absolutely must read this one.

The second book in this series and this is the story of Ruby and Jase. Ruby is just starting on her journey of being a submissive and who better to help a newbie then Jase, but things change when it turns out to be more. It is emotional, funny, sexy and I had trouble putting this book down. It was lovely to see Pax and Diamond make a return and to see how their relationship has devoloped from the first book
