To fulfill his father's generous will, Carter needs a wife. For half-a-million dollars, Daisy Jackson says "I do." But after a wedding night of non stop, sheet-soaking consummation, Carter wants Daisy to have, to hold, and to everything else...
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? Unless you wake up in bed with a showgirl named Fayre - aka your new wife. How could the stable, workaholic Colton gamble on such an unpredictable force of nature? Still, he has to admit, all bets (and clothes) are off when playing with Fayre...
------------------------
This is a set of three stories about three brothers and the women that finally manage to tame them.
Rand
Rand Alexander always has a gorgeous woman on his arm but since his wife died 6 years ago, he's never again given away his heart. Innocent Phoebe Garrison has always felt like the unnoticed wallflower on the edge of Rand's life but now she has a plan - the deed for the property his company needs in exchange for a week in her bed.
This was an okay story but Rand never really came out of his shell and remained from beginning to end a little bit of an enigma. I also didn't really like the fact that Phoebe was the ex-fiancée of Rand's brother - it just made her seem a little fickle.

Carter
Carter Sloane needs a bride quickly to ensure he fulfils the terms of his late father's will and he has just the girl in mind. Daisy Jackson works for his company and has always had a little crush on her boss but she is more than stunned when suddenly he's proposing marriage. But does he want a bride of convenience or a wife in truth?
This was a sweet little story and would have worked well if the author hadn't tried to convince the readers that this was rational behaviour and something that would happen in everyday life. That, for me, meant I couldn't really enjoy it for a fun little escape from reality that it should have been.

Colton
When straight-laced Colton Denning wakes up in Vegas next to a showgirl after a scorching night of passion he's shocked and high tails it out of town. When the lovely lady in question, Fayre Cranston, turns up in Mexico where he's working, Colton is quite keen to pick up where they left off. Until he discovers that she's his wife.
Again, a fairly standard story that suffers largely due to its short length. It's not hugely believable and for some reason I had huge issues with the name 'Fayre' although both she and Colton were reasonable enough characters if nothing overly exceptional.

Overall, if you have this book then it's worth a read but certainly not one that I would recommend you rush out and buy. As with many short stories, these suffer a lack of character development and believability due to the story length. They are readable, a little sexy and inoffensive. 3 stars.
