Un libro difícil de tragar, así de malo
•Mi opinión puede contener Spoilers
•Esta destinada a ser un descargo personal no para que alguien más lea pero si lo haces y te ofende, me disculpo porque sé lo que es que te guste un libro y otros lo critiquen
Novia de una noche de Sarah J. Brooks
Argumento:
Ella fue el motivo de la noche más salvaje de mi vida.
Solo hay un problema, lo olvidé todo ... excepto casarme con ella.
Estoy acostumbrado a que mis miles de millones me pongan en situaciones de mierda.
Debería haber sabido que una noche en Las Vegas no sería diferente.
Pero fue gracias a una mujer alta y hermosa.
Arcadia.
Sus labios regordetes y carnosos mientras rozaban mi piel, ojos cálidos y conmovedores mirándome mientras la hacía mía.
F * cking el uno al otro toda la noche.
Cuando desperté, ella se había ido.
Con un tatuaje nuevo y un anillo en mi dedo, comencé mi búsqueda.
Nunca podría haber adivinado lo que encontraría, ahora su vida está en mis manos. Tengo que protegerla.
Si este bastardo de la mafia está acostumbrado a conseguir lo que quiere, está a punto de decepcionarse.
Porque yo protejo lo que es mío. Punto.
La mantendré a salvo. Será mejor que esté listo, he terminado de jugar.
Mí humilde opinión:
La portada del libro y el argumento me engañaron un poco, este libro no era NADA como esperé.
Realmente es una historia que no tenía pies ni cabeza. Aburrida en su mayor parte, quería dejarlo pero seguí leyendo hasta el final con la palabra WTF en mi mente preguntándome si podría ponerse más loco todo y así fue.
Todo empezó en un casino con una despedida de solteros en Las Vegas, los protagonistas tienen una conexión insta-lujuria, terminan borrachos haciéndose tatuajes a juego y casándose, el padre de la heroína sorprendente quiere venderla como esclava sexual, ella se escapa y el héroe la persigue porque no sabe si es una ladrona o está en peligro y de alguna manera la intercepta en México y luego terminan en Costa Rica... EN SERIO la historia estaba por todos lados y se hizo eterna.
Los protagonistas no podían ser más irritantes:
Arcadia estudiaba para ser una bióloga marina y se presentó a sí misma como una surfista chic, OOOOK🤨 29 años pero parecía una universitaria caprichosa y de cabeza hueca e inmadura. Parecía un personaje interesante hasta que mostró su inmadurez y decidió quedarse con un hombre hasta que se cansara de ella. Dónde quedó su orgullo!?
X era un tipo superficial, contradictorio y egoísta. No quería divorciarse de Arcadia porque aún no se cansaba de ella. No quería que ella se hiciera iluciones porque solo amo a su prometida muerta. Comparó varias veces a Arcadia con su prometida muerta. Algunos comentarios de él fueron asquerosos y lo que él consideraba divertido no me lo pareció.
No podía creer sus conversaciones con el amigo que iba a casarse, me daban ganas de golpearlos.
Este no era un alfa sino un idiota. Solo pensaba con su entrepierna.
Lo peor era que estaba llena de escenas de sexo, repetitivas y no precisamente buenas, hacía una mueca casa vez que leía una porque no sabía si la protagonista lo disfrutaba, me harté de más veces que se mencionó lo grande que la tenía el protagonista, así que me las comenzé a saltar.
La autora detalló cosas en el libro que no me importaban en lugar de profundizar en la vida de los protagonistas y siguió alargando el problema hasta que se resuelve en dos líneas al final.
Lo odié por completo.

Ufff, la traducción terrible. Si a eso le sumamos una historia que no tiene pies ni cabeza... En fin, una decepción.

I started out not liking this book, but by the end of the book I fell in love with it. It is not my favorite of Sarah's books but it is pretty close. I think my feelings in the beginning of the book were thrown by the way it sort of jumped into the whole Vegas one night stand thing. It was the same old Vegas song and dance and I was almost bored with it. But! I stuck with it because I love her books and knew without a shadow of a doubt that her story would not end up being like everyone else's. I am so glad I did. After about 1/4 of the way through, things really took a turn and the twist was revealed. Boy was it a twist. The story then got so intense and exciting, that I was on the edge of my seat flipping page after page engrossed in the story. Nothing else matter but the end game.
The end game was a nice one. It was dangerous and sweet. I did wish there was a tad bit more action in the end game, but this is not a thriller it is a romance. ;) So I will be happy with it. :) I fell in love with the characters. Arcadia is a sweet girl who has led a life with blinders on. Xavier is a sexy protective alpha male. His name is the perfect name for him since his role in this story seems to be that of a savoir. Xavier the savoir. hee hee. This story is a deep intense read that will grab your attention. So you better hold on tight.

I was unsure of this book in the very beginning, but it did not take me long to get me hooked. Once I was hooked, I was unable to put it down. I really loved Arcadia and thought Xavier was perfect for her. Their was some intense, heart pounding moments, with some steamy passion, twists and turns. I would highly recommend this book.

Not captivating enough
From private plane ride I skimmed to epilogue because it was such a predictable book I knew I wouldn’t be missing anything. This book was a total bore.

April 25, 2021Normalmente las valoraciones en Amazon y esta página no son muy diferentes pero en GoodReads las personas tienen tendencia a ser más críticas y dejar una valoración más baja además de argumentar más los motivos por los que no les ha gustado una historia.
A veces navegando con el Kindle por la tienda de Amazon veo una novela como esta, en el momento 32 opiniones y media de 4 estrellas, leo la sinopsis y pienso: bueno, gente que se enamora en Las Vegas con un poco de sexo y mafia, no espero algo que me cambie la vida pero me apetece un romance sin más. Y debería haber pasado por aquí primero porque las valoraciones son más ajustadas.
Abandono la lectura al 58% (y por eso no pongo valoración en estrellas, aunque le daría 1 o 2).
La traducción no es un castellano neutro, tiene algún carajo o cosas así pero completamente disfrutable. El problema es que hay palabras con letras cambiadas, a veces no concuerdan frases en género y numero, algunas frases no las he podido entender ni por contexto, otras al ser traducción directa del inglés he podido saber qué quería decir el original... así que o hay fallo al traducir, o al editar o al corregir, pero la obra no está preparada para leerla.
Quitando eso, los personajes son de lo más aleatorio que he leído en mi vida diciendo que son A y luego haciendo cosas contraria a A. Se excusa todo con "estábamos borrachos" pero en realidad lees que están pensando cosas mientras, relativamente coherentes, así que no tiene sentido nada.
Al llegar al 58% que es cuando empieza el tema mafia me he dado cuenta de que no me importaba en absoluto lo que les pasara y he decidido dejar de leer.
Podría haber avanzado por lo erótico y las escenas de sexo, pero es que tampoco son la gran cosa y de hecho me han dado más mal rollo que excitación por la forma en la que describe toda la acción de una forma extremadamente detallada. Y juro aquí que disfruto muchísimo con escenas de sexo, incluidas sucias y duras, pero los adjetivos y metáforas de verdad que están mal usados.
He visto que otras novelas de la autora tienen buenas puntuaciones, quizás en el futuro si puedo leerla con kindle unlimited o algo así pruebe de nuevo, pero en general no la recomiendo.

DNF 50% I'm unsure as to why all of the 5 star reviews because I tried, I really did but could only make it half way through. As soon as they continued to call their private parts by nicknames it did me in, that and the continued talk of how big his penis is was a massive turn off for me. The story was a little far fetched and both characters a lot annoying.

Arcadia is in Las Vegas on a dad- daughter holiday but, of course, he's not turned up to meet her for dinner nor bought the tickets to see the show that he's promised her. So this feisty 29 year old young woman goes to play in the casino and it there that she attracts the attention of billionaire playboy Xavier Dean who is on a stag do weekend for his friend and got bored. When he sets eyes on Arcadia, he and all the other males in the room are focused entirely on her. He's just looking for a one night stand but she's no push over and he has to use all his charm to even get her to have a drink with him. Whilst there is sizzling attraction between the two of them that is almost combustible she refuses to just go to bed with him. In fact, she gets him to do somethings that he has never done before! One of them being getting a tattoo of her name in a pretty font on his bicep whilst she gets one on her ankle [because he refuses to let the touchy tattoo artist touch her thigh] with an adorable dolphin which is close to her heart and her masters degree. One thing leads to another and with too much drink in both of them, they end up getting married to each other but they both think it's just for the one night! But things always don't go as planned and soon they find themselves in hiding and still happily married to each other. I'm not giving any spoilers as this is way too good a story told by Sarah J. Brooks in her inimitable way which shows why she is one of the USA's top best selling authors. Beautifully written and prepare to fall in love with Xavier [don't call him X] and Arcadia and let the bad guys get their just 'reward'. A wonderful story that I will be re-reading in the future as it is just so good and a fantastic unique storyline.

Arcadia is on a trip to Vegas with her father but when he disappears she goes gambling. When Xavier sees Arcadia for the first time she erases all thoughts from his mind and gets his complete focus. Unable to stop himself he joins her at the tables and flirts with her trying to figure her out. When she loses he manages to get her to have a drink with him. What Xavier didn't count on was the whirlwind she would sweep him up in. Arcadia never has a lasting relationship because of her father and his connections to the mob so when she sees who is flirting with her she tries not to go all fangirl on Xavier. Arcadia leads Xavier on wild trip which ends with them getting married. Waking up the next day Xavier can't find his bride or his clothes. Will Xavier find his runaway bride? Can Arcadia see a future with Xavier?
This was an amazing story once I started nothing could draw my focus away. The chemistry between Xavier and Arcadia is steamy hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this to any of my book friends.

i read this book as part of an arc program. I really enjoyed this story about A young woman named Arcadia who is in Las Vegas with her father and meets Xavier, a famous fashion designer and they have a drunken night that ends in marriage. When Xavier sees Arcadia, he wants her, but he doesn't do relationships, he is a one night stand kind of guy and Arcadia tells him he has to marry her in order to sleep with her. Xavier thinks he will and then just have the marriage annulled, but in the morning Arcadia is gone. Xavier sets out to find her. Arcadia received messaged from her angry father and she knows she is in trouble with him and his business associates, so she flees for her safety. Arcadia knows she has to leave in order to live and to keep Xavier safe, only she didn't count on Xavier finding her and helping her. The longer Arcadia and Xavier are in hiding, the more their feelings grow. I really enjoyed this book and thought Xavier and Arcadia had a great connection. I loved how protective Xavier was and how he gave up so much to help her. I couldn't put this book down, well done.

All in all this was a fairly fast read. Our Hero, Xavier Dean, is a handsome, well known designer, who happens to be in Vegas for his good friend's bachelor party. He's tired of all the wild antics and goes off on his own to have a drink when he sees our heroine, Arcadia, in the same casino. The story is told from a dual POV so we learn that Arcadia has led a fairly sheltered life so she's more than ready for a little adventure with Xavier. Xavier, on the other hand, is trying for a little anonymity, away from the spotlight he's always under. I thought his willingness to get a tattoo and get married was a little out of character for him, but he was clearly smitten with Arcadia's youthful attitude and laughter.
Fearing for her safety, Arcadia leaves Xavier the next morning before he wakes up. He uses common sense sleuthing to eventually find her. The subsequent adventure enables them to really get to know one another, and we get to witness Xavier's romantic and also playful side since they're spending so much time together. Without giving anything away, there were some details that were glossed over which made the story a bit far fetched, but still a fun read.

This is one of those stories where what happens in Vegas, doesn’t always stay in Vegas. The chemistry between the two is undeniable. I enjoyed the suspense in this book and you can’t help but cheer them on. Arcadia needs a savior and a hero and she finds that in Xavier Dean. Arcadia is in Vegas for a trip with her father but when his business meeting runs longer than planned and he stands her up for their show and dInner Arcadia decides she is going to have her own fun in Vegas. Xavier Dean is a famous men’s clothing designer and he is in Vegas for his best friend’s bachelor party. When the party doesn’t hold his interest he goes back to his hotel. Waking up the next morning to find not only does he have a tattoo with the name Arcadia on his arm but he has a wedding band on his finger. The only problem is his wife is not there and he doesn’t know what happened to her but he’s worried she is in trouble. Can a drunken night in Vegas become so much more?

Xavier is a wealthy fashion designer in Vegas for a bachelor party. Lucky for him he got bored and head to the casino where he is drawn to Arcadia. Using his charm he gets her to agree to a drink which then leads to tattoos. Knowing he only wants in her pants, she tells him the only way she will sleep with him is if they get married. The next morning she wakes to find a text from her Dad informing her they were coming to get her and she had been given to his friend as part of a business deal. Arcadia flips, steals Xavier’s clothes as a disguise, withdraws all her money from the cash machine and runs to Costa Rica. She sure as hell isn’t anyone’s possession but that also means leaving Xavier behind which makes her sad. She takes the marriage license with her so she can change her name to hide from her Dad.
This is a thrilling love story with a brilliant happy ending. I really enjoyed this one.

Arcadia and Xavier have a wild night in Vegas of drinking and sex and getting married! Xavier has fallen for her as soon as he saw her leaning over the Craps table in a hot dress. Arcadia doesn't want to just sleep with him without being married so they go to a drive-thru chapel to marry. The intention is to only stay married for the one night, but when Arcadia leaves him in the morning, he becomes intrigued by her mysterious disappearance and wants to find her to see why she left. As time goes on, they spend more time together and try to figure out what they want from each other and whether an annulment is it. The conclusion to the book was final, there were no mysteries unsolved, and it included a HEA.

I really enjoyed this book! What starts out seeming like another one night stand quickly becomes so much more. Xavier needs to learn to lighten up a bit, he is very work oriented and selfish (he admits this himself). Arcadia has lived a somewhat sheltered life, going to school and working for one of her father's businesses. When they meet, both are drunk, and soon one thing leads to another and they end up married. Although it was only supposed to be for a night, events soon take place that lead them on the adventure of a lifetime. This book has two amazing main characters that you will simply fall in love with. It has a great story line, with some twists you surely won't see coming! There is also a lot of humor and steamy passion. You won't want to miss this amazing story!

Wild and hot Vegas night leads to more steam and suspense
One Night Bride by Sarah J. Brooks is not just a Vegas tale. Xavier and Aracadia, upon meeting, instantly connect. While they end up embarking on a journey, these two get to know one another and fall in love. Sarah brings the heat with these two characters and drives the suspense and danger with Arcadia's backstory.
I just love when these billionaire arrogant hotties fall! Xavier is no exception as he consistently insists he has no desire for relationships, connections or intimacy. Arcadia puts an end to all that with her genuine sweetness and behind closed doors naughtiness.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book from beginning to end. Xavier and Arcadia's HEA in paradise sounds really good to me.

Xavier is in Las Vegas for his best friend’s bachelor party/weekend, and bored with the festivities stumbles across Arcadia bent over a craps table. He is mesmerized by her tush and decides she has to be his for the night. Drunken revelry ensues and Arcadia leads him on an adventure he’s not exactly sure about. The next morning she’s gone and Xavier decides to pursue his missing wife.
The story has some suspenseful elements, but not enough to detract from the romance. Other than Arcadia running away fairly early in the story, there really wasn’t any of the typical romance angst. I enjoyed the book, but I didn’t fall in love with it.

What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas. Not when your one night bride disappears, and you aren’t willing to let her go just yet. This is a very entertaining story about Xavier Dean, a hot, sexy billionaire fashion designer, who has met his match in Arcadia Jones, a sweet, quirky surfer/marine biologist.
There’s plenty of hot, steamy passion, but also a lot of fun between Xavier and Arcadia while they explore their blossoming relationship. There’s also an element of danger from Arcadia’s father, a mob connected guy, who has bartered her as part of one of his illicit deals.
This is an engaging tale with strong, interesting characters. The story is fast-paced and will keep you involved from beginning to end. I highly recommend this very enjoyable read!

Another amazing book from Sarah. I love Xavier and Arcadia together. One crazy night in Vegas and lives are changed forever. Arcadia running from her corrupt father and Xavier wondering what happened to her. As the saying goes what happens in befas stays in Vegas, right? Well not so much. Arcadia has found out what her father had planned for her and she has to run and leave her one night behind, but she’s finding it hard to do. Will Xavier find her and get the answers from her? Will their arrangement stand as is? What will happen if her father gets to her first? So much fun, sexiness, deliciously hot scenes and suspense rolled in. You will not be able to put this one down ladies, grabbit now!

Unusual storyline captured my interest and held it thru all the chapters. Arcadia and Xavier were perfectly written for each other and I'm glad her father didn't have a bigger role than he did as I feel it would have disrupted the tempo of the story. This really was a role reversal story in that Arcadia was depicted in a traditional male role and Xavier in a female role. I liked that.
I'm highly recommending this book for your reading pleasure and enjoyment. This is a great book to take on vacation for chilling and/or sunbathing.

This is the story of Arcadia and Xavier. They meet one night in Vegas. Neither of them were looking for love but got drunk and married at a wedding chapel. They had instant sexual chemistry and their lovemaking was intense. The way they reacted to each other was as if they were soulmates. Xavier is very rich, handsome and sexy. He is a take control guy. There are lots of surprises throughout the story. The characters come to life and you will feel their emotions. There is a HEA. This author is skilled at wrapping up her stories with great epilogues. I don't want to give anything away and recommend this romance book 100%.

Xavier is in Vegas for his friends bachelor party. He's not in the mood for strippers so he heads to the casino looking for someone to keep him company for the night.
Arcadia is in Vegas with her dad but he gets caught up with business. So when she runs into famous fashion designer Xavier Dean she decides they need a fun night out.
I don't want to give any spoilers for this book. There are a few unexpected things that make this book so amazing. Definitely a great read to recommend.

Xavier and Arcadia ~ instant sexual chemistry, meet in Vegas where they drink, she won't have sex unless they are married
"Is for Vegas and one-night stands. A one-day marriage is more. Let us be more... if only just tonight."
"Xavier wasn't most likely going to be that love but I made sure for tonight, he was. I didn't want a Vegas thing; I didn't want to leave some debaucherous remnant of me behind, I wanted one night married to the man of my dreams."

This story was so well written. It started out as a drunken night of wild passion between Xavier Dean a fashion designer and Arcadia Jones a biologist student that turned into a adventure with explosive passion that turned both of them inside out. Arcadia wakes up in Xavier's bed with the drunken memories of drinking too much alcohol, a tattoo and a wedding ring. Arcadia flees for her life. Xavier tries to discover why she ran from his bed. As their lives become a disaster of events after all the efforts of her father who is aligned with the mob, and tried to deliver his daughter as payment. Read the adventures that follow. I highly recommend read.

This is a highly entertaining and well written story. The start to this romance began with marriage and then ended up with a second wedding. The entire cast of characters are well done in the roles they are playing. It is easy to feel like the reader is right there in the story line with the characters. There were enough elements, romance, drama, intrigue, within the story to command the reader's attention. Well worth the time spent immersing yourself in this novel.
A highly recommended great read.
