Synopsis
Landon
My life is as good as it bloody gets. I may be an Englishman, but I'm living the American dream.
In Vegas I f*ck who I want, when I want, and how I want.
Unfortunately, my father needs to pass on the family business and doesn't think sleeping around gives me the credentials I need.
I've got one week to convince him and the rest of my old school, English family that I've changed my wild ways and settled down with a "proper" girl.
The problem?
Claire's hiding something. Which seriously complicates things. She's supposed to help me get what I want ... but my fake fiancé might just ruin it all.
Claire
Meeting Landon could be the best thing that's ever happened to me ... or the worst.
He's the only man I've considered sleeping with in years ... which says a helluva lot. Mostly that I'm horny as heck, but also that Landon makes me feel sexy ... beautiful ... wanted. Things I never thought I'd feel.
Not to mention he's richer than God. Or will be if I can help him for just one week, convincing his family that we're in love and not just scheming to help him inherit the family business.
If the plan works, he'll pay me a quarter of a million dollars.
But if he finds out who I really am, he'll call off our deal.
And I can't let that happen. Not just because I desperately need the money ... but because the time I spend with him makes me believe that true love might be real after all.
But Landon is a player. And I can't bear to have my heart broken.
So I'm all in with the plan ... but terrified that I'm about to make the biggest mistake of my life ... falling in love with a man who can't be trusted.

Review
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I don't know how many stars to even give this one so I'm going to stick to 3
I finished the first book in the Las Vegas Bad Boys series and after reading the snippet of this book I had to carry on.
Overall I'm not saying it was a bad book I enjoyed it but there was alot that was missing for me. I read reviews both of the first book and this one about how this one was much better. I'm not sure why maybe the mood i was in the insta love just worked and this one there was annoying parts and it just feels unfinished I wanted so much more from the book and then i was cheking the pages thinking no..it cant end so soon there is so much to explore here. If there is a continuation and I'm just here bitching about this forgive me i guess? But i'm under the impression these are all standalones
Claire annoyed me with all the secretive parts and lying i guess. She had so many opportunities to tell Landon and it felt like one thing after another.Its like one lie leads to so many more and I was stressed out for her and was just getting so annoyed the more she dragged it on. But my main annoyance was that there was no slow build up between Claires daughter and Landon. I wanted to see him being a father figure, and to see him in that light. It just didnt feel like in the end there was a proper family feel. I needed there to have been more dialogue between the two. But it mainly focused on Landon and Claire even thought the big secret had such a focus but just not in the right way.
I enjoyed Landon slowly changing throughout the book, taking responsibility and being the man his parents knew he could be. How Claires support and love makes him want to be and do more. To be a better man which is endearing.
