BOOKWORM REVIEW: Keep Vegas by Kelly Kay

 

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
SPICE: 🔥🔥🔥

This is more than a story about love. This is a story about growth.

Tony and Mak had a promising fling once in Paris. The kind of fling that could easily become a happily ever after. But it ended abruptly after Mak was forced to go home to Nevada.

Twelve years passed, and they meet again in Vegas. Tony has had his heart dented, having gone through three marriages already. Mak is faced with the consequences of the lies she's weaved. Can this second chance be the one they are hoping for?

This was an enjoyable read. I love that this read takes us from their youthful fling to their self-discovery to finding happiness as a result of being aware of their shortcomings. In particular, Mak demonstrated wonderful growth from being essentially a pathological liar to coming to terms with the truth.

I adore their chemistry. Kelly Kay did a good job of establishing a deep connection between our main characters from the get-go and building on it as they mature. Despite more than a decade of separation, that attraction did not feel like it had waned. 

This is the second in the series but it can be a read as a standalone. If you are looking for a feel-good love story with some depth, this is a great pick.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Tony has almost rolled through three wives in ten years. But no one has ever challenged, intrigued, or turned him on like the girl from a decade ago. An unlikely "witch" put a spell on him that's never been broken.

Makenzie is too busy these days, turning her life into something to indulge anything. But in quiet moments, she lets herself daydream about those three months in Paris when the possibilities seemed endless, and there was love in her life. There was a brave 'king' who wanted her as his queen. But life isn't a fairytale, and no amount of wishing can make it come true.

Can one night in Vegas change everything? Beyond the bright lights and old lies, there might still be love if life and circumstance don't get in the way again. As the sun comes up over the desert, perhaps it really is a new day. They may find a way to keep each other forever this time, or they may only get to Keep Vegas.

The Boston Brothers: a second chance series are interconnected standalone stories featuring the lives and loves of six guys, who are either brothers or brothers from another mother. And it's about the women they were lucky enough to find. And then find again.

MEET KELLY KAY

I used to create dreams with my best friend growing up. We'd each pick a boy we liked, then we'd write down a meet-cute that always ended with a happily ever after. Now I get to dream every day, although it's a little steamier now.

I'm a Chicago-based writer, married to a writer, mother of a creative dynamo of a twelve-year-old boy and currently a little sleepy. I'm a klutz and goofball and love lipstick as much as my Chuck Taylors. And there are pretty good odds that I have either a glass of wine or a cup of coffee in my hand right now.
