Book review: THE HERO.+ VEGAS = NO REGRETS, by Louise Bay

New York City Billionaires #3

Worth & Sophia

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Instant lust that fast transforms into love, Worth, considered the “dad” in their group due to his serious demeanor, surprises everyone with his insta-love story.  I was so surprised to see him obsessed so fast with Sophia!  She’s Jules’ best friend and invited to their friends’ group weekly reunion.  Worth swoons but keeps it inside, respecting that she’s intended for Fisher, but as soon as he learns neither is interested in the other, he swoops her up and gets her married in a Vegas drunken surprise wedding.

Worth seems stodgy most of the story but looses that stodginess when they’re in the bedroom.  What he is, is a kind and generous person who is always striving to take care of all those around him.  When his father died, he was twelve, and his mother checked out.  He took care of the house and his little sisters, striving to keep his family intact. This instinct pervades his dealings with everyone, until Sophia changes his perspective and convinces him to do things that make him happy.

I liked the emotional part of this story, the friends group who are so tight and caring, and 

Sophia, even is she waffles a little bit.  There are secrets in her family and when it all comes out, her life is upended and she doesn’t handle it well.

I didn’t love the first part of the story, the insta-love wasn’t very convincing, but it improved a lot after, and I loved the tenderness and loving side of Worth that is revealed in his book.  There’s a lot of longing, lots of angst, evolving for both.  I loved the scene where the guys went to a craft class! They stuck to Worth like glue when he was down, like good friends do. Not the best of the series but entertaining nevertheless.

Book review: UNDENIABLY MARRIED, by J. Saman

Boston’s Irresistible Billionaires #4

Mason Reyes & Sorel Fritz

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Only J. Saman can write such a delicious story that is sweet and sexy!  I loved this couple, they were so perfect for each other.  Mason Reyes has always had a thing for Sorel Fritz, but she had a boyfriend so he settled for friendship.  When she walked out of her wedding because the groom had cheated with the maid of honor, he was at the right place and at the right time, and he helped her escape.  And off to Vegas they went!

As soon as I read they flew to Las Vegas, I knew we were going to have a spontaneous wedding.  And off course, drunk Sorel was all for it, but sober Sorel was repentant.  But Mason took this chance to get the girl and he gave his all to this relation.

I loved Mason, he’s a cinnamon roll hero, sweet and sexy.  Sorel is cautious and a rule-follower, she was set on an annulment but they needed to fake it for a few months. And this is when Mason got to work on his charm.  She had no chance here, and I enjoyed their wooing.

I loved that this is a second generation story, after the older Fritz and the Central Square parents.  And now we have a gazillion cousins and aunts and uncles, plus parents, making a huge circle of support for our couple.  The book is lovely, not just because of Mason and Sorel, but because of the family.  They are incredibly supportive, also invasive, gossipy, ready for a party anytime, workaholics but also partyholics.  

Reading a book by this author is a joy, we get steam, we get romance, and we get family.  It’s entertaining but also heartwarming and uplifting, and don’t forget steamy.  I look forward to the next one and having another wonderful story! These people already feel like family!
