I'm sorry but I didn't find a single part of this believable; the staid lady who impulsively decides on a sinful weekend, the bucket list (does anyone really do this?), the bad boy who throws over his entire life for her, the vengeful ex, the trope about small towns and small minds, the story with the emerald and the bracelet. None of it. It's probably a bit cruel, but the closest comparison I can think of is porn where they try to inject too much story and lose their way.

Christine should have gone to sin city and stayed there, I think.

This ended up being quite a cute romance story. Easy to read and full of adventure.

Christine Pearson finds her ten year old bucket list one day with nothing crossed off.

Disappointed that her life has become so mundane she decides to trade plain Jane for Vixon and heads for Los Vegas.

Once in the Casino she looks up and sees the sexy Travis Cain headed her way and decides that a one night stand of wickedness should be added to that list.

Misunderstandings and a stolen emerald put a stumbling block between them but will love win in the end?

Wild Weekend is a very cute love story.

Cute, sassy read! Christine Pearson is a small town girl looking for some excitement and to cross some items off her "bucket list" at the same time. On a week-end trip to Vegas, Christine meets tall, dark and handsome Travis Cain. He's a no relationship, no commitment kind of guy. Mix in a missing emerald, lots of miscommunication and two really scary henchmen and you end up with a really cute story! I received this book, free, in a Goodread's First Read's Giveaway. Thank You!

Awesome story! finished this book in less than 24 hours. I could not put it down it was so hard to get work done! great characters with fears and insecurities like everyone else and let them hold them back. the end was so sweet I wanted to cry! do wish I could have read about them getting married and have a baby tho! maybe that could be a sequel with the best friend jenni finding her guy!

I received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads.

Overall, the book was your typical romance novel. Nothing super spectacular about it, but a good book to lose yourself in.

Calista, Main patron, July 2015, 4 stars:

Better than I thought it would be. Adventurous and exotic. A romance with a good ending.

[Delacey]

I liked this one. A bit of humour and a great set of characters with good chemistry and a few issues of their own to get over, as they come to love each other.
