Oh my lord it has been a long time since I laughed so hard from the first page to the last. I can’t think of anything worse than waking up with 4 people in the room naked with wedding bands on and not know who, what or even if you are married. Even though they can’t seem to remember what happened last night others can remember very well, they even have video of each of their down fall. After the mess they have made of it I doubt they will be doing any drinking anytime soon.

Andrew is alpha all the way not knowing what he wants until he finds out he might not have it. Then goes overboard doing his best to keep it in this case it is Amanda as his wife who may or may not be his wife. It doesn’t help when the families add more fuel to the fire which adds some delightful fun to the read. I can’t think of anything more embarrassing then the whole family seeing you they way these couples are found the morning after. It is a story that sticks with you and keeps going through your mind all throughout the day making you laugh for no reason.  My employees were just about ready to lock me up in the fun farm until I shared part of the story with them. I know a few of them have also since read and enjoyed this book.

It is nice to see the male lead the role on the chase almost on bended knees. Let’s not forget Amanda and the role she plays from the orange mess on her body to her love of cats keeps the reader very entertained.  There is a lot of confusion between these two people as well as friends and family having a blast with the facts. Throw in two gay men who they may or may not be married to any of them and you have a free for all. I can’t remember the name of the one but he sure got his digs in on Andrew. Which left Andrew saying HELL TO THE NO I might not remember but I sure as Hell didn’t marry that.  The guy just couldn’t let up at every turn he throws it back in Andrews face just what they might or might not have done.

Once we find out who is or isn’t married to whom or what there is still more humor as Andrew back peddles giving Amanda what HE THINKS she wants. Which is the norm for men he got it all wrong, with the hoops he jumps through there isn’t any doubt he is in love way over his head? Only a man in love could make such a fool of his self.

Mr. York narration is outstanding really bring the story to life. He puts so much emotion making you believe every word that is written. His insight to the character roles are wonderful as well as his performance. His male and female voices are a delight you always know who is talking and just what they are feeling. There are no background noises or any place where the volume changes from one chapter to the next. If any breaks were taken I could not tell. His character voice for Andrew is just what I thought it should be, powerful, lost and at times angry making you feels everything he does.  He hits each emotion with the right tone from excitement to horror of the unknown. This is all done in a very natural way that pulls the listener in and making this a very believable read. I had no trouble at all picturing each scene unfolds just the way the author wanted it to be. Mr. York has a very pleasant voice that brings so much hooking the listener from the first page to the last. I didn’t want to put it down and found things to do so I could listen longer.  I am so looking forward to listening to more of his work.

The author knows what it takes to bring laughter to her readers giving them a highly entertaining read that keeps them invest throughout the story. I loved the writing style it is always a pleasure when you pick up a book from a new author and getting a wonderful delightful read that really makes you laugh. This was well written you can tell the author put a lot of thought in to it. NOTE: If you are looking for a clean sweet read you won’t find it here. What the author does deliver is some very hot passionate scenes that really turn the heat up. You have to remember this is from a male’s point of view which means most of them think about and can’t get enough action. You get a wonderful plot that is believable with romance that is a little over the top. Add it all together it is an outstanding read/listen that I plan on reading again. I totally loved it.

Summary
We skipped right over the whole fiancée thing and went straight from girlfriend to wife. At least, I think that's what happened. I woke up after my brother's Vegas wedding reception with my luscious girlfriend in bed with me. We're both wearing wedding rings.
So is her coworker, Josh.
And our Vegas chauffeur, Geordi.
Who the hell am I married to?
Unraveling this mystery will be as difficult as figuring out why Amanda and I are having panic attacks over the thought of being husband and wife.
It's true that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, with one exception:
If she's my wife, we'll make it work.
If she's not? I'll make it happen.
Get the ninth book in Julia Kent's New York Times best-selling romantic comedy series as Andrew and Amanda sort out their wild Vegas night...and the rest of their lives.
