Today, she’s happily living in California, seven months pregnant, working long hours at her dream job, planning a giant fairy tale wedding and frankly overwhelmed.

Eighteen months ago, Mike Grayson was single, a workaholic and living alone in a giant mansion in Culver City.

Today, he’s happily living in a small four bedroom house with his very pregnant fiancée, watching her work long hours, plan a giant fairy tale wedding all while refusing to ask for help and frankly he’s worried.

When a dress fitting gone wrong brings Jordyn to her breaking point, can her real life book boyfriend, Mike come to her rescue and give her the HEA of her dreams?

Vegas, Baby! is a bonus epilogue of Blind Date with Book Boyfriend which originally appeared in the paperback edition. It can be read as a stand-alone, but is better enjoyed after reading Blind Date with a Book Boyfriend & 35 Years: A Blind Date with a Book Boyfriend Short Story.

It's Jordyn & Mike's wedding day. I love that Mike knew what would bother her and had already made a plan so everything went off without a hitch.

If you're looking for a quick, sweet and spicy series then give this one a go.

Series notes
Definitely read Blind Date with a Book Boyfriend and 35 Years: A Blind Date with a Book Boyfriend Short Story first.

DUET! Narration notes:
They both did a great job! I have no complaints. The whole series is on one audiobook.

Just more sweetness that had me feeling gooey and happy on a Saturday afternoon. My heart is full and yes, I absolutely read all 3 of the stories connected to this couple in a matter of a couple hours with zero regrets. The H just wants to make the h happy, including over their wedding plans. There's some adorable humor, some steamy times, and fluff. Lovely ending to wrap up their quick dive into love and HEA.

Written in first person, dual POV. No ow/om drama and both are experienced.

Hopefully, you’ve read the first book that started it all titled ‘Blind Date With A Book Boyfriend’ where Mike and Jordyn meet cute in a bookstore and Mike convinces her to spend the day with him. Let’s just say—it goes very well for both of them. We meet them again in 35 Years: ‘A Blind Date With A Book Boyfriend’ short story, where we catch up with the couple as they navigate being in a relationship now rooted in reality.

And now ...

Jordyn and Mike return in ‘Vegas, Baby’! where once again we get an update on their love story. It’s funny, cute and erotic and I think you’ll be pleased. Attention Author Lucy Eden! We need at least one more story featuring this couple and the rest of their (hint! hint!) family.

Y’all, I’m such a fan of this series and each time a new story is released, it puts a BIG smile on my face and makes my day.

Highly Recommended: Read It!

I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.

Mike and Jordyn are making plans for their future in the shape of their nuptials and their impending baby. But things are getting to stressful and Mike will do anything to make Jordyn happy. So when they decide to elope to Vegas will they go through with the spur of the moment wedding or have the one their parents are planning?

I felt lost coming into this book, they were obviously a continuation and that kind of spoiled the story a little for me. 3.5* read.

3.5 Stars

Jordyn and Mike are married!!!!! That's not a spoiler, it's literally in the title. This was a quick feel good story. Our girl is stressing and Mike steps in and takes care of her like always. I just adore his care and concern. He is the best cinnamon roll billionaire.

Now... I can't find any info on the next book. Ummm there better be another book. Our girl is with child! I NEED to experience Mike as a dad!

Did you read A Blind Date with a Book Boyfriend yet?
Because if you haven't, this is Mike and Jordyn's HEA.
It's time to get married and Jordyn is having a bit of a freak out. We get to see Mike in all his supportive glory.
Love these two and loved this very short very sweet with a side of steam HEA snippet for these two.
Now, please tell me we will get another short with them and a baby!!

VEGAS, BABY! gives us Jordyn and Mike's wedding and it was really sweet. Jordyn's insecurities about their relationship were a little repetitive from the previous short but we'll just blame it on her pregnancy hormones.

[Brenda Moser · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a cute story with Jordyn having a panic attack over the wedding and Mike supporting her and helping to work through it. The story moves quickly and smoothly and the author does a great job painting her scenes and delivers a short,entertaining read.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.

[Way-Way Pee · Rating 4 out of 5]

This short story is super cute and packed a lot into just a few words.

While the main Blind. Date with a Book Boyfriend novella is 🌶🌶, the short stories are definitely 🌶🌶🌶 because they’ve already jumped into the relationship at that point.

I liked the premise of their meet-cute and found it totally plausible, and the short stories just show how their relationship matures and grows.

[Danielle · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love Jordyn and Mike and I was happy to see a new epilogue for them, but I kinda feel like even .99 is too much for this "short story". Amazon says it's 29 pages, but the book is 16% over by the time the first sentence appears. Take out cover, copyrights, blurbs, ANs, and this is only 16 pages - two sex scenes and the Vegas wedding.

I'm not trying to be down on it or suggest that Eden's not worth the buck, it just seems like it would have been better to bundle this and 35 Years together.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️


I don't think that I could have loved this book any less than I do. And that says a whole lot. Because I absolutely adore this book.

Mike and Jordyn are back at it again but this time with a baby in the making and a wedding to plan. A HUGE wedding. 400 guests. The dress is being tried on and things go south.

Jordyn realizes how much she has going on with the baby on the way the wedding and her job. Getting overwhelmed is expected. Mike comes to save her from peril with Begneits from their favorite place.

After some discussion and play time they realize they just want a simple ceremony. So they elope to Vegas.

With some spice, and a wedding in Vegas I couldn't have asked for a better book. I just wanted more. Once again I fell for their relationship and how much they love and honestly care for each other. This relationship is #goals.

With their families on their side they tie the knot and see what married life is really like!

I really really hope that there will be more for these two in the future!

I'm reviewing all three novellas as one as they come all together in a bundle in the audiobook. 
OMG! Do you know that book that leaves you grinning and giddy and makes you feel like everything is right in the world? Well, these novellas! Lucy Eden writes a love letter to Romance  lovers. The MMCs even have their meet-cute at a bookstore (The Ripped Bodice no less!!). Jordyn is in Culver City from NYC to interview for her dream job. She walks into the bookstore to get a book to pass her time before THE interview. She leaves the store with a gorgeous, romance-reading cinnamon roll who is funny, charming and sweet. And they spend the weekend exploring Culver City and falling in love. But there is one pesky little nugget of information about Mike that may end this fairy tale of a romance before it even begins... until love wins in the end!
I loved, loved, loved these! Lucy Eden gives a ton of romance tropes weaved into these short novellas and it's the perfect palate cleanser. It's that book that you just want to listen to and ENJOY.
Narration: Narrated duet by the lovely Wesleigh Siobhan as the sassy, funny Jordyn and Oscar Reyes as the dreamboat Mike. Now allow me to have a tiny freakout: Where has this man been that he hasn't spoken in my ears before????? Sweet Baby Jay Zoos. Mike is swoony on paper but Oscar sends him off the charts in the swooniness department with his narration. I found new favorite! *headstoAudibletogeteverysinglethingshesnarratedsofar*

LOVE THIS!!! This is a continuation of Micah and Jordyn's love story. They met in a bookstore and have never separated since then. This book is about their upcoming nuptials and the toll it is taking on Jordyn, so much that she hides in a closet, and Micah is called because no one can find her but knows her too well. He lures himself to her in the closet with a beignet in a bag. Of course, she is so pregnant so she couldn’t deny opening the door for him. Well, he would do anything for his bride to be happy, so he proposes VEGAS!!! It worked for his parents so it should work for them…

I love what Lucy has done with these characters – it is so moving that I want to read more about them. They are funny very much in love and success!

You could say that this is the continuing saga of Mike and Jordyn which started with Blind Date with a Book Boyfriend. This time around Jordyn is far along in her pregnancy and stressing about her wedding day. As always Mike is the calm in her life and once again he comes up with a solution for what she sees as a problem (walking down the aisle looking like Jabba the Hut). When last we saw them it was at Mike’s parents 35th Anniversary party and the idea of marrying the same way his parents did seems like the solution to Jordyn’s marriage angst. This story continues Mike and Jordyn’s love journey. Now all that’s left is baby making 3. Hoping the writer gives us that story soon (hint, hint). Cute, quick, and a fun read once again.

Vegas - Mike and Jordyn

Even as a short story, I love these two. Mike is not only going to be an amazing person, he comes across as the combination best friend and lover that any woman would want for her new journey as a bride. Jordyn reflects the emotions that so many brides feel as a wedding approaches. What I liked about this short is that it is well-written, with good pacing, and and excellent secondary characters who lend to understanding not only the couple as individuals, but their love story as a whole. I have not read the original book, but I am eager to pick it up to see how these two got to the point of the short story that is just before the wedding. I laughed, I teared up, and I really felt charmed by Mike, Jordyn, and their entire group of family and friends. This was terrific!

3.5 stars. The third and final installment of this novella series opens with Jordyn and Mike planning their upcoming wedding. When a heavily pregnant Jordyn becomes too overwhelmed by the wedding planning process, she and Mike decide to elope instead. The couple choose to elope to Las Vegas just as his parents had done 35 year prior. Jordyn and Mike get married with just their families in attendance and decide that the big wedding they were going to have should/will be turned into a big party to celebrate. My overall thoughts on the series were that it was alright. Book number one was by far my favorite. I did really enjoy Lucy Eden's interview at the end of the third book, it was quite insightful.

[CLorraine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lucy Eden gives us an absolutely lovely addendum to Mike and Jordyn's story. When we last encountered these two, they were attending his parents' 35th anniversary. Jordyn was grappling with some feelings of insecurity but they are now more in love than ever and expecting a baby AND planning a wedding. The story, refreshingly, starts with Mike's point o view. Jordyn is overwhelmed by all of the details of her life....her loving fiancé has a wonderful solution. I loved this quick, sweet visit with one of my favorite Book Couples!

This is a very short novella that is fast paced, an easy read, entertaining, funny situations, great hero and heroine.

Jordyn and Mike were both living the single life eighteen months ago. The two are now planning a wedding with great jobs and in less than 2 months there will become parents.

Jordyn is handling things oh so well; so, she thinks. While she is at her future mother-in-law’s home doing a fitting for her wedding dress she suddenly develops a panic attack. Mike is called to his childhood home and he knows exactly where Jordyn is at.

This is a great romance the only thing missing is more pages. Will Jordyn and Mike get their HEA? Pick up this short novella for answers.

[Kayla · Rating 3 out of 5]

what a romp!
so this came in my version of the first novella, and seems to take place a year after the ending of the first book. i felt like the time jump mostly made sense, and i actually liked the good news, even though it's not my favorite plot.
where i got a little lost is the haste of everything. the entire second half kinda confused me, but it's purely because i'd have chosen a different ending. it's not a bad one, very cute in fact. and for what it's worth, i didn't mind it. but if it wasn't included with the first novella, i probably wouldn't purchase it. after, as a bonus little treat, a "where are they now," type of update? i LOVE it for that, actually.

[Willie-mai · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the conclusion of Jordyn and Micah's love story. they have been a fun couple to get to know. They were spicy and hot together. Having a baby and planning a wedding is a little bit to much for Jordyn to handle and she's stressed out but Micah knowing his woman well and would do anything to make her happy comes up with a solution. this was a quick and short read but was worth the read.

I've read several books written by Lucy Eden; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.

This is the third book in the Blind Date with a Book Boyfriend Series; it can be read as a stand-alone short story. The story is about Jordyn & Mike preparing for their wedding but she is overwhelmed about fitting into the wedding dress since she’s seven months pregnant.
