Gia I wasn’t much of a gambler, but on my first night in Vegas I rolled the dice with a sexy stranger. What did I have to lose? Everyone knows what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. I lived out an erotic fantasy most women only dreamed about. It was a souvenir you couldn’t buy in any gift shop. My own dirty little secret.
It was a harmless one-night affair until Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome wasn’t so anonymous anymore. He was my new boss. Outside of the bedroom he was a complete jerk and determined to see me fail. I desperately needed this job and so I pretended I didn’t know about the tattoos on his arms or the monster hiding in his pants. Professional was the name of the game, but… the man was hot as hell and dangerous as the devil himself.
♥♣♦♠
Trent My self-control was marginal at best, and beautiful women were my weakness. So, when my father threatened to fire me if I had one more office fling, I committed to keeping my libido at bay. Vegas was full of lovely ladies who didn’t work at Mystique. I wasn’t about to throw away my destiny of becoming CEO of one of the biggest hotels in Vegas.
My resolve was firm until she walked into my office. I never thought I’d see the fiery redhead again, but there she was looking all tempting and desirable in her pencil skirt and silk blouse. I knew what was hiding under those clothes and it set my blood on fire. The memory of our night together played over and over like a movie I couldn’t hit pause on. There was only one solution… she had to go.

My rating : A satisfying, enjoyable 🌟🌟🌟🌟 H : Trent Dorsey h : Gia (Gianna) Romano Standalone : ✅ Part of a Series : ✅ Hot Vegas Nights Series (15 Books) Boss Employee Romance ✅
Our heroine: At 27 years old, Gia is a gorgeous bottle red-head, with one failed marriage under her belt. (She married her school sweetheart, because it was the next logical step). She comes from a small town, which is a far cry for the flash and vibe of Las Vegas. Gia wants to reinvent herself in Las Vegas, where she gets a job as an events co-ordination.
Our hero : Trent Dorsey is the COO and Head of PR and Marketing, at the Mystique hotel in Vegas. He has been hurt in a previous relationship and ever since then he only does one night stands. He works for the family business and his father has issued him a final warning. If he has one more affair with a staff member, he will be fired and the reigns of the company will be passed over to his half brother.
The problem: Trent meets Gia in Vegas, and they share a passionate, erotic night. No strings. No attachments. Just pleasure! After all what’s the point of coming to Sin City if your aren’t willing to gamble? Especially as everyone knows that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. According to Trent “great sex was about bringing a woman to orgasms many times over and seeing the look of pure ecstasy on her face. It was about being in the moment and treating her like a queen.” Of course this is complicated when on her first day at her new job, Gia comes face to face with the COO, who is none other than her partner from her erotically satisfying one night stand.
Sabrina Wagner, where have you been all my life? This was my first Sabrina Wagner book and I will definitely be going back to read her other books. This book was well written and the dialogue between Trent and Gia was witty, funny and ballsy! The extended prologue was much appreciated!! 🌶🥵😈🔥 I would love it if Penny (Gia’s personal assistant) and Brett (Trent’s friend and “partner in crime” -IYKYK) get their own book.
Kindle Unlimited: Yes Stand-alone: Yes Author: Sabrina Wagner Rating: 4/5 ⭐️ Spiciness Rating: 3/5 🌶 POV: First Person Dual Perspective Couple: Trent and Gia Trope(s): One Night Stand, Office Romance, Forbidden, Enemies To Lovers
‘My arms wrapped around his neck, and I fused our mouths together in a passionate kiss. I wanted to be closer to this man who’d driven me crazy with endless powerplays in the office. I might have fought him in the boardroom, but in the bedroom, I'd submit to whatever he wanted. I already knew he’d take good care of me, and I was more than happy to be at his mercy.’
This is my first read by Sabrina Wagner. This is a detailed read and although it starts off with hints of a spicy scene the story builds with the slowburn of a connection that both Trent and Gia feel, but attempt to deny. For those who would have loved to be a fly on the wall during their first night together, no worries, there is a link to download an extended prologue. This book is low angst, plenty of entertaining banter, and the kind of romance that draws you in and has you wanting that HEA. This is an easy book to have you settling in and enjoying.
Trent and his best friend Brett enjoyed sharing. And, when on a night out they spot the gorgeous redhead at the bar alone they make their classic moves.
When the said gorgeous redhead walks in as the new hire at his family's hotel, Trent knows he is in serious trouble. His father is already watching him like a hawk because of his extracurricular activities, not to mention his half-brother gunning for his job.
Gia Romano moved from Illinois to Las Vegas to shake up her mundane life. A place to reinvent herself away from her failed marriage and overbearing family. Having her boss be the very man she had a menage a trois with, not quite in the plans.
Trent decides to challenge her hoping she would cave and resign. But, then he sees firsthand just why his mother chose to hire her, she was damn good at her job.
Gia was not caving to Trent’s attempts to thwart her. Or his brother’s attempts to lowkey seduce her. She was here to do her job and do it well.
They begin to work well together. Making keeping one another at arm’s length impossible.
So, they decide to see where getting to know one another will take them, on the downlow that is.
Wow! Sabrina started this off with a bang (literally and figuratively). Is it terrible that part of me really wanted some of the details you miss out on in the Prologue?
This story picks up with Trent and his friend Brent trying to have a little bit of fun, they find a redhead at the bar, they don't exchanges name but agree to a night in Vegas she won't forget. However the universe has other plans, because that redhead -Gia just so happens to be the new event coordinator at Mystique a hotel in Las Vegas owned by Trent's family which he finds out the next day.
The sparks between Trent and Gia are next level. Unfortunately Trent decides to channel all of that passion into pissing Gia off and trying to get her to quit. He quickly realizes he has underestimated her and her abilities.
Gia is determined to make something of herself and prove her family and friends wrong. She will not let Trent ruin her chances of rocking her new job.
The sexual tension is unbearable at times...not sure how they survive so many interactions without ripping each others clothes off. Also you may or may not discover that Trent's dirty talk is next level.
Will they roll the dice and unleash the passion or will they keep it professional? Find out November 15th.
And remember...What Happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
Sitting at a bar alone, Gia was approached by two guys that wanted to have a “fun night” in Vegas. Deciding what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, she goes ahead with it only to find out that Monday at work one of the guys is her BOSS 😳. Trent was told that Monday morning by his father (the big boss) that if he didn’t stop having flings with coworkers he would be fired and his half brother Hunter (who is a massive jerk) would get to take over. Trent is beyond livid and starts to take it out on Gia when he realizes who she is.
Goodness the chemistry in this story is INSANELY good 🥵. Gia’s character is amazing, I love a strong personality in the female that does not put up with the grumpy boss and can handle her own. She could have went back to her hometown but decided to stick it out as event coordinator and did a great job at it. Trent eventually stops treating her terribly and starts to think of maybe having a relationship with her after his disaster of his last relationship.
Without giving too much more detail I’m just going to say this was my first Sabrina Wagner book and it won’t be my last.

This book was the perfect blend of substance and spice, what starts off as Gia escaping to Las Vegas to start over and having a one night stand with not 1 but 2 gorgeous men turns into a recipe for disaster when she shows up to work at her new job a week later to find out that one of those men is her new boss and he has a reputation around the office, and the other is his best friend.
Trent is the COO of the Mystique hotel in Las Vegas and his father has given him an ultimatum, basically keep it in his pants 🤣 otherwise he will lose his rights to take over the hotel when he retires. But what he wasn’t expecting was Gia to be his new events coordinator, the only woman to make him feel something in a very long time.
Both try and keep it professional for the sake of there jobs but they find it difficult and with Hunter, Trent’s you get brother snooping around and trying to make their lives harder they are up against a lot. But both can’t hold back on their attraction and soon realise that they are it for each other.
I really enjoyed this story, Gia was strong and fiercely independent and Trent although he was an arsehole at the beginning quickly turned it around and he had some very swoony moments.
They say, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." But what if what actually happened in Vegas stays in Vegas because you decide to move there for your new job?
Gia, on an impulse, has a sexy one night stand. Only to then start the first day at her new job and learn that her boss, well, he was a part of that amazing night.
When Trent, her boss, makes it known that she's impossible to resist, Gia needs to decide if risking her career is more important then falling in love. Or if maybe there's a chance she can have both. With the way Trent treats her, making her feel like a queen, she sees herself wanting it all!
In this fantastic book by Sabrina Wagner, we get to read first hand about how Gia wrestles with her attraction for her boss and her need to succeed and prove herself. Trent is so loving, willing to show her everything she deserves. He makes her feel special and like she can have all her heart desires!
We meet Gia on her first night in Vegas and she is approached for a one night stand with a sexy stranger and his friend. With her sexy encounter behind her she goes into her new job on the first day and finds the stranger she thought she would never see again is Trent and he is her new boss.
Trent has a rough history with workplace romance and his job is at risk if he steps out of line. Throw in Gia as his new temptation what could happen!! Their chemistry is so strong and they can’t help but be pulled together time and again.
Workplace romance with spice!! Family drama to keep you entertained.
That extended prologue!! Thank you Sabrina you knew what we would want!
I received an ARC copy of this book and am leaving an honest review.
This was a fairly quick but fun read about a woman who escapes to Vegas in order to start over. However, things don’t really go as planned when she find out her boss is the same guy she had a one night stand with.
I found Gia to be a refreshing character—as she’s very strong headed and doesn’t take crap from anyone. She’s fierce and knows what she wants, and I appreciate seeing that in a female lead.
I would give the spice level a 2.5/5, as it’s not as explicit as some spicy books can be. However, it gives just enough to add to the story line without it being TOO smutty, if that’s not your cup of tea.
This story is part of the Hot Vegas Nights series, which is written by multiple authors. Therefore, this book can be read independently, but there are more books you can read in the series if you find yourself loving this one! Thank you to the author for giving me the opportunity to read the ARC! This review has been left voluntarily and is an honest reflection of my thoughts 🥰
Gia Moved to Vegas from Waukegan after her divorce she decides to go out for the night where she get propositioned not by one but to hot men that ask about a threesome she decides why not she will not see them again, when she goes to work for her first day she goes in for a company meeting she meets Trent one of the guys from her one night stand.
Trent could not thinking stop from thinking about her one night stand, when he gets into work he dad want to talk to him and say if he sleeps with one more of the staff he will fire him, when he get to the company meeting he can't believe it her his one night stand, he trys be a D head so she will leave.
Gia cant to believe how he is being towards her and she will not let him make her live,
But they can't stop the chemistry they have between them and Trent does not want to let her go. Can they work out so no one gets hurt or will they both lose everything.

After a night out and a threesome with Trent and Brent (Trent’s best friend) Gia starts her new job just to find out her new boss is none other than Trent. They try to work together professionally but they are to get close together and spending more and more time together. Hunter is a sneaky bastard who does whatever he can to try to get Trent fired. But in the end Trent and Gia can’t stop the attraction they have with one another and stop fighting their feelings.

I enjoy a good office romance and this one delivered. Trent and Gia were oil and water in the work place which ramped up the tension between them.
Brett and Penny were wonderful secondary characters who made this a fun read.
Overall the writing was wonderful and the story included all the craziness you would expect from Vegas with a sweet couple. The steam from this book could melt your kindle!! In addition there was a great balance of the tension at work to the time Gia and Trent grew to know each other outside of the office. I will definitely be back to read more from this series!!
🔥 Seductive 🔥 The prologue alone will have you wanting more!
Trent and Gia were a good match. I fell right into the story and didn't pull myself out until the end. It felt good, I've been in such a reading funk!
The first sentence of the prologue grabbed my attention. I went back and read it aloud and its incantatory power moved me to continue reading.
Once I started reading I didn’t want to stop. It held my attention and I was surprised how quickly I finished. I like Gia, she was a strong, feisty sexy woman. Trent met his match when he met Gia! Yeah, Trent, I knew right away I was gonna enjoy reading about his antics!
I like a laugh out loud moment when I’m reading it gives more life to the character. Yes, I laughed.
Some family drama, not enough to make it drag on, I like that!
Steam…oh, YES!
“Our tongues tangled and danced like we weren’t strangers but long-lost lovers.”
Don’t be shy. Double your pleasure and meet Brett, Trent’s longtime friend and partner in erotic fantasies. 🔥🔥🔥 Be sure to read the extended prologue! Ooh La La
Gia decided to have some fun on her first night in Vegas before starting a new job, and man a sexy time was had by all in this endeavor LOL! Like I'm talking about HOT HOT HOT so all fun & games until she walked into her new job, and her new boss helped make that night HOT! Trent has been threatened by his father that if he didn't stop fraternizing with the ladies in the office that he would remove him as CEO so when the sexy girl from that night walks in the office, well, he's not so nice. Luckily, Gia is a strong girl who will go toe to toe with anyone so no matter what he dishes out to make her quit, she's not having it LOL! The sparks are flying of course because these two can light the sheets on fire together so it's only a matter of time before all hell breaks loose! And that's all I'm saying about that, so you'll just have to one click it to find out! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
What Happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas and after reading this all I can say is sometimes that is a good thing because HOLY SURPRISE 5 STAR READ OF THE YEAR FOR ME.
This book starts off with a bang (quite literally but also very closed door) and the action only grew from there.
Enter Gia, small town girl looking to prove everyone who ever told her chasing her dreams was stupid wrong, as the new events coordinator at Mystique. Fresh faced and ready to prove herself, she was not expecting to come face to face with the man only a week ago she rolled the dice on a one night stand for- Trent, heir to the Mystique fortune and her new boss.
I feel like I have read far too many books lately where there is not a good slow burn leading up to the fireworks show and I have to say that after this book, I have missed that. The slow burn was to die for- the tension both of these characters exibit towards each other is beautiful and the push and pull of their feelings battling their need to remain professional and maintain their boss/subordinate relationship is delicious and makes the moment when they do finally throw caution to the wind something magical. Throw in the threat of being exposed from an invested third party and you have spice that is to DIE FOR!
I also really loved the character development of Trent. Some of the time when you read stories about billionaire alpha males, they tend to be set in their ways and not always ready to get down and dirty to help so to speak. Trent, despite knowing what he will inherit someday and that he was groomed for that reason, does not shy away from helping Gia out when necessary and really adds another dimension to his character that I loved (and okay maybe it was self serving on his part so he could see her but who cares!)
This book was a surprisingly fantastic read, one that could be done in one sitting as it flows easily, hooks you right from the beginning and has a slow burn that ends in spice that is to quite literally to die for (Trent may have become one of my new book boyfriends and I don't care!). Definitely one that should be added to your TBR immediately.
'What Happens in Vegas' is part of the shared world of Hot Vegas Nights, which are 15 stories all set in Vegas.
This well written book starts with Gia, who is spending her first night in Vegas alone sitting at a bar, where she is approached by a sexy stranger and his friend with the promise of a one night stand like no other. Well, she has just moved to Vegas after getting a divorce so how could she refuse! Two days later Gia starts her new job and is introduced to Trent, her new boss, who just happens to be the hot stranger she spent the night with!
Trent has a reputation with the ladies at work, so much so that if he can't keep his hands to himself, then his father has threatened to fire him. What follows is a wonderfully well written game of cat and mouse between Gia and Trent, with a few surprises thrown in as Trent tries to resist the temptation of all that is Gia. The sparks and the sexual tension between the two will have your kindle melting in your hands as Gia tries to decide whether Trent is worth risking her career for.
This read was so refreshing, I loved how the author pulled me in from the start and how, over time, Trent somehow became the hero we all want to have. I couldn't put this read down, finishing in one session. This is definitely a book not to be missed.
Also, if you sign up for Sabrina's newsletter, you will receive a copy of the extended prologue - you won't want to miss this as you will find out exactly what happened when Gia, Trent and Brett first met! There is also a playlist that is definitely worth listening to.
I received an ARC of this book from the author, and this is my voluntary, honest review.
This book is about Gia who has moved to Vegas after the end of her marriage to start her new career and it starts off with a bang well a threesome, Gia meets these 2 hot guys at a bar and one thing leads to another and the 3 of them have amazing night. Now flash forward to Gia's first day as Mystique's newest events coordinator when she meets her new boss Trent one of her guys from her threesome. The chemistry between Gia and Trent is off the charts and while Gia is there to do her job and under threat from his father Trent isn't allowed to sleep with anymore employees the 2 try to work together professionally. This isn't a slow burn these 2 do everything in their power to stay away but it's inevitable and they end up together. Now this would all be well and good if Trent's half brother wasn't trying to get Trent to fail so he can have the CEO position,a little blackmail and a video that shouldn't have been seen forces Gia to leave and go home. By now Trent has realized Gia is the one and will do whatever it takes to get her back! Does he succeed or not, read this amazing book and find out!

This story is coming in hot. Trent see’s Gia and offers her one night of pure pleasure, no names, no details, just one night….until she shows up in his office a few days letter.
Trent isn’t one for relationships, he is a one and done type of man, however, the moment he sees Gia there is something different about her. Something that he can’t stay away from even though he knows that she should. Gia has left her old life behind for a new start in Vegas. She has a great new job and she doesn’t want to do anything to risk that, especially her new boss, Trent.
The chemistry between Trent and Gia is off the charts. The tension that is between them throughout the first half of this book is off the charts, but when they finally give in it is explosive. I absolutely loved the two of them and I loved how well they really work together, both in and out of the office.
If you’re looking for a steamy, one night stand, workplace romance this is one to check out.
What Happens in Vegas has all the best parts of the perfect romance novel.
Trent is a loveable alpha male, Gia is a strong independent woman. You’ll be routing for their love from the start.
Family drama and a villainous brother, make for the perfect forbidden love affair.
This author not only has you wishing for a romance like this, I want to work in their office too.
While the tension is building between Trent and Gia, you meet Penny and I’m really hoping the author tells Penny’s story also because I fell in l love with her too.
It’s so refreshing to read romance where the characters seem so realistic and believable. This one was a page turner for sure.
Roundup stars Gia is in Vegas and meets best friends Trent and Brent. They share a seductive steamy night. When she starts her new job as an event coordinator for a hotel, she comes face to face with Trent. He is her new boss. Awkward and tense, not to mention he has been instructed by his father not to have sex with her. Brent slept with the coordinator who ended up fired. This story is fun, sexy, crazy, their banter is a riot. Nevermind the fact Brent taunts Trent about Gia. Then there, is Brent hitting it off with Gia's assistant. And Brent's slimy snake of a brother. Loved it, my first by Sabrina and I really enjoyed it.
“What Happens in Vegas” was a fun and steamy little workplace romance that you will love!!! Trent and Gia have one steamy night together, but even though they assumed it’d be a one night stand, fate had other plans. The next week, Gia discovers that Trent is her new boss, and his arrogant behavior immediately makes her dislike him. But even as they bicker, the sparks between them become impossible to ignore. I loved Trent and Gia’s love story because even though it was a novella, it didn’t feel rushed. Trent was arrogantly charming, and I loved watching him fall for Gia. And Gia! She was so bold and sassy and confident, and I loved that about her. I would definitely recommend!!!
I absolutely loved this book and I really wish we had more of the prologue!!! When Gia moves to Vegas to get a new start in life she never expects the one time she lets go will have such crazy ramifications in her life. I love the chemistry between Trent and Gia! The love/ hate they have is perfect and I love how once they actually get together they have to pretend to still hate each other(which dosent work out). I want more in this world and hope that Sabrina brings in more people to this amazing book.
This is one of those books that draws you in from the first chapter and is perfectly paced with an awesome storyline that keeps you quickly flying through the pages. Trent and Gia were such a great match! Trent was bossy and arrogant, Gia was outspoken and independent. The two of them had great banter and steam but my favorite part was the growth they both made throughout the book. I loved seeing different sides of them and had fallen head over heels by the time the book was over.
There was a ton of spice but also had angst and forbidden romance elements mixed in. I really enjoyed the workplace romance as well as the one-night stand romance. The characters are sexy and well developed. A fun, spicy read that I would definitely recommend!
* Thank you to the author for gifting me an ARC. I voluntarily read and reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*
This is a story that started off as what should have been a hot one night menage a trois! (Un)Fortunately for these characters, it did not. The story is engaging, fast moving and was quick to read. I really enjoyed all of the characters and the chemistry was high! The only reason I didn’t rate it a 5 is because the smut level was on the low side to me. There were missed opportunities in my opinion, especially the hot scene at the beginning of the book.
I am not usually a huge fan of boss/employe romances but Sabrina has changed that with this masterpiece! This was such a fun sexy read that I couldn’t put down and just had to read in one sitting. The characters were written perfectly and the plot… chefs kiss. Will definitely be reading more from this author.
So get ready for one HAWT steamy night...that should have been that saying...butttt Sabrina Wagner turned that saying into one Angsty, Hawt, Steamy and definitely a Swoony office romance kind of read!!
Man I loved Trent and Gia...I had a hard time going on with life.lol I wanted to keep reading and dismiss everything else!! lmao
5 Swoony Stars from me!!!
Thank you for writing Sabrina..I can't get enough of your books girlie!!
