Vegas Nights Series – Book 3

Erotic Romance

By Karen Erickson

e57d5-goodreads

Synopsis

A guy of her own? She’s not holding her breath—until he steals it away.

Vegas Nights, Book 3

 

Natalie’s girls-only weekend in Vegas is shot to hell, thanks to her friends ditching her for very sexy, very famous guys. Not that she blames them. She knows what lonely feels like. A nurse’s long hours leave little time for a social life.

 

Then she collides with and spills her drink all over a very fine, very exposed male chest. A chest belonging to Noah Wilde, lead singer for the infamous Wilde & Wicked rock band. Thankfully, he’s merely amused as she tries to take care of the mess she made.

 

Noah sure would like to make a mess of the gorgeous, petite lady with luminous blue eyes. There’s no resisting the urge to tempt her along for an adventurous night of gambling, drinking, eating, and sin.

 

But during the harsh light of day, Noah has a change of heart. Not about the fact he likes Natalie—a lot. He’s not sure he wants to drag this sweet lady through his sordid life. Even though sparing her could cost them both a chance at forever.

 

Warning: Contains a nurse who thought she knew all there was to know about anatomy, and a rock god who’s about to show her a few spots she missed. To say they both hit the jackpot would be an understatement.

Michel’s Review

This is the final book in the Vegas Nights series.  I have dubbed them the Lunchtime series.  Each book is a novella and reads quickly with some sizzling hot sex and a promise of love.

The third book features the rock star, Noah Wilde.  One would think he is the wildest of the group, it is far from the truth.  Noah is craving something real.  When he meets Natalie she turns his world upside down with her straight forward attitude and untarnished beauty.  Her beauty from within outshines the beauty that the world sees.  Noah is taking notice and paying attention.

Natalie is going to rock Noah’s world in a very good way.

Wild Nights is my favorite out of the three novella’s.  I loved the interaction between the characters and the realism of their wild weekend.

Vegas Nights Series

WickedWeekend300Wicked Weekend – Book 0.5

What happens in Vegas…could be a fantasy come true.

Vegas Nights, Book 0.5

Between nursing school and starting their careers, Reagan, Andrea and Natalie have had no time for dating. After saving up for a special vacation, they’re on their way to Vegas for a long-awaited weekend of fun, sun, gambling and partying.

When their luggage goes missing, an impromptu shopping trip leads them to James, who makes them an unusual offer—to be part of the female scenery at his boss’s upcoming party. Not just any scenery, but women who are pretty in a real way, not the nipped, tucked and dyed Hollywood version.

Accept a “private party” invitation from a complete stranger? These ladies weren’t born yesterday. Yet before “no thanks” crosses their lips, Reagan discovers who James’s boss really is: Declan Carter, an actor she’s crushed on for, well, forever. Now she’s determined to be the eye candy who catches Declan’s eye. No matter what it takes…

Warning: Epic shopping trip results in meeting hot men. It is recommended that all credit cards be placed out of reach before reading.

Sometimes dream crushes do come true.

Vegas Nights, Book 1

Reagan can’t believe her luck—and not in a good way. One minute she’s hanging out with her friends at an exclusive party in Las Vegas. The next, she’s attracted the attention of a famous actor. Not just any actor. Declan Carter, the man on whom she used to—okay, might still—have a fangirl crush. Whose blue eyes leave her embarrassingly tongue tied.

All Declan wants is to meet a nice, normal woman who won’t use him as a stepping stone to fame. Something about Reagan tells him she could be that rare woman, and he follows his instinct to invite her back to his suite—where they proceed to have wild monkey sex. All. Night. Long.

What was supposed to be one night of no-regrets sex stretches out into a blissful weekend of two people who can’t get enough of each other. But when the glamour of Sin City wears off, they’re standing on the edge of a once-in-a-lifetime chance to turn a weekend fling into something lasting. Will they take the jump?

Warning: Smokin’ hot sexy weekend with a gorgeous actor? There shouldn’t be a warning—more like encouragement to indulge your fantasies!

Michel’s Review

Reckless Nights by Karen Erickson is the first book in the Vegas Nights series.  It is a sexy short story about a sensual weekend in Vegas.  It is the kind of weekend where fantasies come true.  It is weekend where memories are made.  But does the old saying “What Happens in Vegas, Stays In Vegas” ring true?  I think that Reagan and Declan walked away from their wild weekend with more than a pocketful of winnings.

Reagan and her girlfriends head to Vegas for a wild, fun filled weekend.  They need a break from their stressful jobs in the ER.  They are looking to let their hair down and live in the moment.

Their trip starts out with a hitch.  The airlines has lost their luggage. Luckily fate has a way of stepping in.  They meet a gentleman that invites them to an exclusive Vegas party and helps them pick out the perfect clothing for the party.

Reagan has the opportunity to meet her favorite movie star, Declan Cater, at the party.  There is an instant attraction and chemistry between the two.  What starts out as a one night stand turns into a wild weekend.

Can both of them leave their weekend behind in Vegas or is this the beginning of something wilder than a Vegas fling?

Reckless Nights is a story story that is novella length.  I would of liked for this story to have been longer.  I felt that the character development skimmed the surface and we didn’t really get to know who they really were.  The chemistry and bedroom scenes were sizzling hot.  That was the main focus of the story.  I would of liked to see these two lovers develop more of a relationship outside of the bedroom.  The story was too short to develop the intimate connections of the heart and mind.

Reckless Nights was a sexy fast paced story.  There were enough teasers about the other characters in the series to keep the reader interested in the series.

Karen Erickson is a talented writer.  Whether she is writing contemporary romance or in the New Adult genre (aka Monica Murphy), her books are sexy, romantic, and entertaining. Her characters and their stories come to life.  Their stories capture the readers attention and keep them entwined in their books until the very last page.  She is one of my favorite authors and never disappoints.

Game For Tonight

 Game For It Series – Book 3

By Karen Erickson

57761-addtogoodreads

Synopsis:

A sexy category romance from Entangled’s Brazen imprint…

She’ll teach him the art of seduction one play at a time…

Publicist Aubrey Cooper never should have crossed the line. After all, pro football player Flynn Foley is her client. But something about this mouth-wateringly-hot, clean-cut athlete makes Aubrey imagine all kinds of X-rated fantasies. And it only takes one game-changing play―and one night―to turn the tables from strictly business to very, very personal…

Flynn has maintained a no-sexy-distractions policy for his entire pro career. Aubrey is exactly the kind of distraction he was trying to avoid, and she’s the one he can’t resist. When the media catches wind of their naughty little liaison, however, Aubrey’s boss steps in to make them an official couple. What Flynn doesn’t know is that Aubrey is forced to fake the relationship―or lose her job. Now Aubrey must hide the truth…even as she begins to fall for Flynn.

Excerpt

Aubrey cracked open her eyes, studying him like he’d lost his mind. Which he sort of had—over her. He kissed her again before she could say a word, losing himself in her sweet lips, the soft little moans sounding low in her throat.

He liked sex. And he liked the woman in his arms plenty. So much, that he’d kept her at arm’s length for months for fear of falling hard for her and ruining his concentration. Besides, he wasn’t much of a rule breaker, damn it. If it was against company policy to date a fellow employee, then he wasn’t going to do it.

But screw it. He felt as if everything was uncertain right now, up in the air, unconfirmed. Walsh wasn’t talking—at least he wasn’t talking enough. The conversation they’d had before Aubrey had interrupted them had been full of nothing but a bunch of crap. Coach had acted downright evasive.

The vibe he was getting from his coach? He didn’t like it. At all.

He was tired of worrying about things that were out of his control. What was the big deal if he kissed Aubrey anyway? Maybe he could work her out of his system. Maybe kissing her wouldn’t be all that special and he could walk away from this.

Ha. Tell that to his overheated, turned-inside-out body. Flynn broke away from Aubrey’s lips to catch some air, though really, he wanted to look at her, memorize this moment when he’d first kissed Aubrey. Even in the dim light, he could see her lips were swollen, her cheeks flushed. She opened her eyes, the dazed look in them sending an arrow of arousal shooting straight through him, making his cock twitch. Pride suffused him. He put that look on her face.

“Flynn.” She pursed her lips, exhaling softly, the sound shaky. “What in the world was that?”

He smiled. She was a bundle of nerves, his publicist. Always running around, a little manic, a lot frantic, riding his ass to do this, do that. She’d been harder on Hamilton, but that crazy guy needed someone to rein him in most of the time.

“I thought it was a kiss? Unless I’m doing it wrong…” A chuckle escaped him, and he hoped she was in on the joke.

“No. You were definitely not doing it wrong.” She blew out a trembling breath, her gaze cautious. “I just want to make sure we’re both on the same page.”

“Well, I’m pretty sure we’re on the same page.” Leaning in, he nuzzled her cheek with his, kissing a soft path along her fragrant skin until his mouth was on hers once more. “A shame you didn’t recognize it.”

She smiled against his lips, her fingers tightening in his hair. “I just thought…”

“Thinking gets you nowhere,” he whispered just before he took the kiss deeper, his tongue thrusting, his mouth devouring. She was a thinker, which meant she set her brain to smoking more often than not. And he wanted her feeling, not thinking or worrying.

He gripped her hips with both hands and pulled her in, wanting her as close as he could get her. This…thing between them had been brewing for a while, torturing him. She’d been by his side almost constantly the past few months, guiding his career, carefully preserving his image.

Every time he was with her, the scent of her hair drove him wild. The way he caught her looking at him, her gaze hungry, her lips damp, echoed an answering call deep within him.

4.5 star

Kelley’s Review

Sinfully sexy forbidden romance.  

Game for Tonight is the perfect forbidden romance.  Aubrey is there to make sure that Flynn’s good boy image is solid.  He is a virgin and they have spun that into his marketing campaign.  He is completely off-limits for Aubrey but she just can’t help herself.

Game for Tonight is a stand alone read.  It is Aubrey and Flynn’s story but you also get to see Jared and Sheridan again and Nick and Willow again.  I think I would have enjoyed this read even more if I had read the other books in this series.  It is obvious that the infatuation between Aubrey and Flynn has been going on for quite a while.  Karen delivers in the sensuality department as Flynn and Aubrey create lots of steam between the sheets.  The idea of a sexy football star being so focused that he has not slept with any of the women that have thrown themselves at his is intriguing.  Karen does an excellent job developing her characters in this series.

Aubrey is a good girl with a kind heart and really is the perfect match for Flynn.  The problem is that Aubrey has been holding on to a horrible secret and just when things are looking great for she and Flynn to have their happily ever after, her confession might be just enough to tear them apart.  Imagine having to work with someone who you were head over heels in love with who would not give you the time of day because of one stupid mistake.

If you like forbidden romance with lots of sizzle and spice you will enjoy Game for Tonight.
