The Ruthless Magnate Will See You Now
Someone I love did a truly terrible thing, and I’m working three jobs on top of my one as a showgirl at the Benton Las Vegas Grand to make up for it before anyone finds out—too late.
Cole Benton III, the ruthless CEO of the Benton Worldwide hotel empire, calls me into his glass office overlooking the Vegas skyline, demanding to know why I stole all the money from one of his grandmother’s charity funds.
I can’t tell him that“You are aware that I could have you fired, arrested, or worse,” he asks, his voice like black ice. Clearly dangerous.
Gulp.There’s a reason everyone calls him Triple Ice behind his back, and it goes way beyond the three Roman numerals behind his name. Rumor has it that he’s BFFs with the leader of a local cartel and that’s he’s not afraid to call in favors.
But I can’t answer—not if it means throwing the real thief under his “or worse.”
I keep my mouth clamped closed.
And Triple Ice stares at me, his malevolent ice-chip eyes glittering with contempt.
Then he opens his desk drawer and pulls out…. a wedding ring???
Wait. What?!
When I saw the cover of ‘Sunny in Vegas’ I was immediately intrigued. I just love the bold blue cover and so I signed up for an ARC. Lucky for me, I got picked to read an ARC and started reading as soon as I could.
In ‘Sunny in Vegas’ we read the story of Sunny and Cole. Sunny is a showgirl in Vegas, who is currently working three jobs to make sure no one finds out her secret. But then Cole, the ruthless CEO of the Benton Worldwide hotel empire calls her to his office. The last thing Sunny expects is Cole making her an offer she can’t refuse. Sunny has to act like Cole’s fiancé for a few months and he will make all her problems disappear. This might not sound like a bad thing.. But Cole is called ruthless for a reason and being around him all the time might be a very dangerous thing.
‘Sunny in Vegas’ is a book that has no slow introduction. Bam.. we are right in the middle of things. It’s a fast paced read, and I was a bit apprehensive that there would be no depth at all in this read. But after the first few chapters, I found myself enjoying getting to know Sunny and Cole. And the fast pace seemed to fit the Vegas, billionaire life.
Sunny and Cole had a lot of chemistry right from the start. And yes, this book was pretty predictable but I had a lot of fun reading it. Sunny and Cole’s characters where fun and I loved how they made each other better. I especially loved how Cole wanted to be different for Sunny, and how protective he was right from the start. Yes, he was a bit to controlling and rough at times.. but it didn’t bother me to much.
The setting of Vegas was very fun, even though we didn’t get to read as much about it as I’d thought we would at first. There where some fun side characters I’d enjoyed reading about. And there where some cute butterfly moments.
I read ‘Sunny in Vegas’ in one day and definitely had a lot of fun with these characters. If there is one thing that this book made sure of is my determination to read the first book in the series as well. I found this authors way of writing very entertaining.
