I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I actually won it and was so excited to keep reading this series as I won the first installment as well. Thank you ARC lottery! This book 2 in the Vegas Aces series and you’ll need to read Home Game before reading this otherwise it won’t make sense. While I usually dislike this multiple book format, I am enjoying this so much that I just don’t care!
This is the continuation of Ellie and Luke’s story which was a one night stand that morphed into a brother’s best friend roommate situation. It now has elements of a fake fiancé/wife and these are all themes I absolutely adore. Ellie is now Luke’s PR Manager and is helping him stay relevant in the football world since this is his last year on his contract. They are spending lots of time together and she finds herself falling for him each day. It’s obvious Luke has feelings for Ellie but he’s been burned in the past so he’s more standoffish than Ellie would prefer especially after agreeing to be his fake fiancé. This book explores the ongoing relationship between these two and highlights Ellie’s concerns if she moves forward with his plan.
I loved this almost as much as the first one in the series. Luke and Ellie’s relationship is special even if he’s standoffish. There is something THERE and they both know it even if Luke won’t admit it but watching Ellie’s reaction to the rejection was just heartbreaking at times. At times I wanted to knock some sense into her as well as slap him. I will say though that I REALLY, REALLY want to read something from Luke’s point of view even if it’s just a letter, one chapter or a secret diary she uncovers because it would give this book another level of emotion that would elevate it even more. Because Luke is quiet and doesn’t like to tell Ellie deep things, the reader is also in the dark when it comes to his real self. While I like Luke, he does have some backpedaling to do after this installment and I’d love to see how he feels about what just happened and if it’s affecting him the same way it’s affecting Ellie. Overall though I loved it and am looking forward to the next one in the series.

Very quick read in the continuing saga of Hot Luke and Sexy Ellie. Lisa does a great job of making me want to throttle Luke in this short but sweet pt 2. The title says it all. This is the transition between book 1 & 3, and while I'm not a fan of serials that split up one story among multiple books (I tend to wait until the whole series is out then binge), I'm in for the long haul with these two destined to be lovebirds.
