I am really torn about this review. If I were rating this story in the original venue in which it was first distributed, as an email serial, one chapter per day, I would give it 4 1/2 stars. When looked at on a chapter by chapter basis and understanding the limits of a daily serial it is a great story, but as a book I can't give it 4 1/2 stars. In a book I would have expected more character building and more world building. In this state we hardly get to know Isabella and Dominic. We are expected to suspend belief and understand that after 10 years of not seeing each other they are in instant love and ready to get married two days after reuniting. Funny thing is I could have bought into this if we had had back story in the beginning. If I could have already bounded with this couple, even just as friends, it would have been easier to buy into the relationship. Then there is the whole reason they are in Vegas, his brother Derrick is supposed to be marrying Isabella's best friend Natasha, but Derrick and Natasha don't even seem to like each other which makes a wedding seem very odd to me. All of the ensuing chaos is not very detailed, again because of the original delivery format.
So in closing I can say this, this is a cute story but is missing the world building you would expect in a full book.
Happy Reading!
