Kicking it in Vegas
Out and Kickin’, Book 2

ABOUT THE BOOK:

I woke up in Vegas with a hangover and a ring on my finger.

At my last recollection, the bachelor party was off to a great start. During dinner I met sexy celebrity Chef Oliver who was far more intriguing than his surly public persona let on.

Afterwards, my buddies and I set out to bar-hop at some of Sin City’s biggest hot spots. To my surprise, I ran into Oliver again as he was unwinding by tossing back drinks at a bar. What followed was a hot night of dancing and drinking… and a very confusing morning.

Not only did we spend the night together, we got married. Oliver is quick to suggest divorce, but I’m not ready to give up so easily. We may be opposites in every way imaginable, but there’s a chemistry between us I can’t deny or ignore.

Can I convince Oliver to give our unlikely romance a chance? Or will what happened in Vegas end in Vegas?

Kicking it in Vegas by Riley Long
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Cams lackadaisical style really didn’t seem to pair well with planning the ultimate bachelor party dinner. Against his odds, it went really well. Even dealing with Oliver, the quintessential Chef, wasn’t to difficult, if he didn’t count the many frantic phone calls to said Chef. Even the after party went well. But…..alcohol and Vegas are a bad combination, especially if it involves an Elvis impersonator.

Personalities were mostly established in the previous book. So even though the friends were on the periphery of this story I still felt comfortable with them. Parker is my favorite. He’s just about ready for his own book.

Oliver’s past created a bit of angst and that was mild. Tenderloin’s (the cat) treatment of him was mean though. Not nearly cuddly enough.

Fairly uncomplicated leads made for a sweet “ waking up married” story. The book is short so it’s a fast read, just right for a lazy summer afternoon.

Excerpt:

I waved the bartender down, a skinny blond twink who looked like he would have been better suited to dancing on the bar than staffing it, and ordered a Bahama Mama. A moment later, a familiar voice rang in my ears, low and husky.

“Long night?”

I looked up, startled. Seated next to me was Oliver. Sexy, straitlaced Oliver, with his dark hair and scruffy beard and gray eyes. He was wearing a clingy white t-shirt and black jeans, and damned if the guys weren’t right. He did have washboard abs, if the rippling muscles under his thin cotton shirt were to be believed. “What are you doing here?” I glanced around to see if he was with someone, but I didn’t see anyone else. Just Chef Oliver.

Oliver chuckled, his tone rich and luxurious, sending waves of desire through me. He leaned in as he spoke. “Decided to take the night off early. See, I had a really challenging client tonight and after he left, I figured I deserved a few drinks and a little relaxation.” He took a sip of his drink and raised his eyebrows.

“Oh yeah?” The flirtation in his words was clear. “I had a rough night, too. I had to plan a party and there was a lot of pressure to make everything perfect. I had to deal with this hot-tempered celebrity chef. Luckily, the chef turned out to be outstanding. Provided great customer service. Really top-notch.” The bartender slid my drink to me and I nodded in thanks before taking a sip.

A moment later, Oliver twisted on his barstool to face me, leaning even closer. “I’m glad he took good care of you.”

I shivered, my nipples hardening under my shirt and my cock following suit. I was still wearing the white button-down and blue slacks I’d gone to Hidden Cove in, but the tie had long since been loosened and draped around my neck, and I hoped both the slacks and the shirt disguised my arousal. With a nod, I grinned at him. “He did. He took really good care of me.” Oliver’s tongue darted out to wet his bottom lip and my throat tightened with desire. Before he could speak again, I blurted out a request. “Dance with me?”
