The Hero + Vegas = No Regrets by Louise Bay

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

From USA Today bestselling author Louise Bay, comes a new secret marriage, billionaire standalone romance featuring your favorite New York billionaire crew. This is a he falls first, unlikely pairing, Vegas Wedding, that brings all the heat and witty banter you’ll love!

Loyal, hardworking, and trustworthy, I’m used to putting everyone’s needs before my own. I’m the ultimate good guy. But when Sophia Jones walks into my life, everything changes. Beautiful, guarded, and completely off-limits, she’s all I can see. Even though she’s being set up with one of my best friends, I want her for myself.

I try to fight my feelings but soon realize it’s futile. Thrown together at our friends’ wedding in Vegas, the more I spend time with her, the greedier I am for longer.

Vegas has a way of turning rules upside down, and one night changes everything. Between stolen glances and secret moments, I do the unthinkable—I ask her to marry me. Maybe it’s the drinks. Maybe it’s the city. Or maybe it’s because she feels the same connection I do, but she says yes.

Sophia’s hiding something—I can see it in her eyes—but it doesn’t matter. She’s mine now. And I’ll do whatever it takes to convince her this isn’t just a mistake. This is the beginning of forever.

The Hero + Vegas = No Regrets

The Hero: Worth – he is a New York billionaire. One of his five best friends is getting married, he will be meeting his fiancé Jules’ best friend and the happy couple wants it to go well. They talk about setting Sophia up with their other friend, Fischer. Worth thinks Sophia is beautiful from the beginning and has an unusual reaction to her, wanting her badly from first glance. He is an angel investor, who just found out the property developer he invested in has disappeared with a chunk of his money.

The heroine: Sophia – She works at Sak’s in the finance department, she isn’t to happy with her job, but loves the benefits. She and her siblings are asked to go home to Cincinnati because her mom wants them all there even though it isn’t too long before Thanksgiving. She has an anxious feeling when her mom gives her an extra long hug. She and her brothers soon find out that their mother is divorcing her father, and finds out some information that changes the way she thinks about her childhood.

The Story: The bride and groom decide to have a destination wedding in Las Vegas. It is just a week after Sophie’s entire life was blown apart and she needed her best friend, but didn’t want to ruin her friend’s wedding. So, she tries to put on a happy face for the weekend. She has been turned off men, so is not in the mood to hook up with anyone even though Jules is in love with love and wants to share the wealth by matching up her friend. Worth is trying to stay away from Sophia and the feelings she evokes in him, but they end up together anyway and he is not unhappy about it.

This was a good story, I was especially interested in how Sophia’s idea of what her family had been was so destroyed. It colored her relationship with Worth even though she knew what a stand-up guy he was. She had to find herself again before she would be ready to move forward with him. It was an interesting arc to the relationship between them. This was definitely not your standard married in Vegas story.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Samantha Brentmoor and Grayson Owens. Greyson has a nice deep voice that I really like and I will definitely listen to more from him. Samantha has a clear, feminine voice and is very expressive. I enjoyed both of these narrators quite a bit.
