Nothing Stays In Vegas Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 2,927 ratings
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...except when it doesn't.
Lexi Titan has mastered the art of pretending everything’s fine. After all, how else could she ignore the fact that her husband is never home, her son barely knows him and the last time she had sex, well, who can remember?

With her life crumbling, the last thing she wants to do is go on a trip, especially back to Vegas; a city full of glitz, excess, and Leo, the man she’s spent the last six years trying to forget. But when her best friend announces she’s getting married, Lexi doesn’t have a choice. Besides, it’s ridiculous to avoid an entire city because of one guy. Even if he is the father of your child.


Face to face with memories of the past and the gorgeous man who started it all, Lexi can no longer deny the truth to anyone, especially Leo. But honesty will come at a price, and Lexi must decide if she’s wiling to take that risk. And what exactly will she tell her husband?

Because as she now knows, NOTHING STAYS IN VEGAS.

    What a brilliant book! My first read from Elena Aitken and I will definitely read more from this author.
    Not your typical hero is our Leo. An ordinary guy with a disadvantaged background making a career for himself and no, he isn't turning into a tycoon or a super-rich guy like some of the other romances. I constantly found myself turning the pages thinking I will soon discover that he is really the owner of this huge hotel only it isn't happening. He fights his battles and has his faults. Elena managed to develop both the hero Leo and the heroine Lexi into realistic everyday characters with whom the reader can associate. A real emotional rollercoaster this book - Elena gets the reader to experience Lexi and Leo from various points of view. Generally I am not a fan of a romance written in the first person but it works in 'Nothing stays in Vegas'. Lexi's point of view is more pronounced than Leo's so in general you move with Lexi's emotions more.

    Elena has build real care into the characters and both hero and heroine makes this a sensual love story of love lost and love found. Beautiful book Elena - I really enjoyed this!

    For me this was a mix of mediocre and ok reading. The two different settings were really good and the plot had so much potential.

    That said, the main characters annoyed me. Lexi seemed to run hot and cold, and I genuinely couldn’t take to her a lot of the time. Leo seemed to just try to hard. Andrew just struck me as a jerk and I had no sense of him being the ‘good guy’ everyone proclaimed him to be. Uncle Ray was an absolute joy of a character, he seemed like a really nice guy. Nicole just came across as a bit of a bitch, her mood swings were awful.

    I think this was mediocre to ok but could have been a little better.

    This is such a lovely story. The characters are very well written, Uncle Ray is perfect, and young Ben shows all the innate wisdom that five year olds have before school dilutes it - I thought he was written exceptionally well. Leo and Lexi, well, doesn't everyone dream of having someone have such intense feelings for them after an unexpected meeting?

    So well worth reading. Cannot wait to get started on the sequel.

    SPOILERS AHEAD...So, the outline of the story had promise. Lexi met, fell in love with Andrew and they married. The one thing they agreed on was "no children" he worked all hours (I think it was financial its never really explained) and she was a teacher so good solid careers. Until years down the line Lexi gets a scare with "I'm late" Andrew feels betrayed, what pours from his mouth is not pretty. From this point onward its a down hill slide and they separate.

    Its Lexie's BFF Nicole's birthday and off they go to Vegas for a girlie weekend. Whilst there Lexie catches the eye of Leo an event planner and they find they have similar interests. Their attraction to each other grows and they end up in bed. The following day they agree to spend time together and to meet later in reception. When Leo reaches the in-house showers his best friend Keith tells him he has been trying to reach him, there is the ultimate job on the table and he is his best wing man. He convinces him to give up his day with Lexie. At the main desk he tells the receptionist to give Lexie a message to say sorry, to meet later and to collect his mobile which he left behind.

    Lexie gets none of this as the receptionist has her eye on Leo and does what she deems necessary to get rid of the opposition. Leo returns to find no messages and that Lexie and Nicole have left.

    Meanwhile Lexie and Nicole arrive back home, the whole time Nicole has been telling Lexie it was a fling, that Leo wouldn't remember her when the sun rose. Little does she know Lexie believed she had met her soulmate and is possibly heartbroken. In the arrivals hall they are confronted with Andrew and a bouquet of flowers, he declares undying love, that he realises how important a baby is and if she'll take him back they can start trying right away.
    That night games commence (do not forget she has already done the deed in Vegas bareback too). Its at this point I decided I really didn't like Lexie very much. Not only has she slept with a complete stranger, sans condom, with a man she now believes she was just another notch on his bed post - she then goes home and does the same thing to the pompous prat she stayed married to!

    Next...she discovers she is pregnant.....Andrew is standoffish (taps finger on lips hmmmm)......this becomes more obvious over the next five or so years when no other children are forthcoming and Ben (the child) has dark hair and eyes (bit of a dead ringer for Leo!) but she palms him off as Andrews'. But Andrew is a sneaky git who had a vasectomy during their period of separation so he knows for certain that he has a cuckoo in his nest! Lexie is oblivious to all this, just whinges that he doesn't do father son things with him. But she knows her marriage is dead, it was dead before Ben was born - she knows it and she thinks of Leo at times but that is all wishful thinking until a return trip to Vegas for Nicole to get married. Guess who is still in Vegas.....yup, and the sparks fly as they are still hot for each other but Andrew is decidedly suspicious to the point his drunken attempts at being territorial were amusing, he would of done better just peeing on her shoes! Rows abound between Andrew and Lexie he is not only rude but obnoxious, the wedding goes off with not too many hitches and Andrew storms off. Leaving Lexie to Leo and a drive/walk/talk and grope session around town.

    They declare their love, tell each other how bad their lives have been, she tells him he has a son! On the return to the hotel to tell Andrew their marriage is over Lexie finds him waiting as her uncle Ray has been hospitalised. Andrew slips her a sleeping tablet to get her onto the plane and home without the gushing.

    Leo meanwhile knows nothing of this. When he sees Nicole the following day she tells him a few home truths regarding Lexie, that she had told her they were a fling (she did say sorry) but they had gone because the uncle that raised her was awaiting surgery for a heart bypass.

    Leo tracks her down and they talk but she tells him she cannot deal with him and what he might want at the moment. Meanwhile Ray dies, Andrew and Lexie talk which is when she discovers the depth of his deception and he tells her he knew about hers. She leaves with Ben and they go to Uncle Ray's cabin by the lake.

    The stench of martyrdom is getting stronger at this point - I am definitely choking on it but I have to finish, the end is in sight.

    So Leo takes a leave of absence from the hotel (he is owed as he has never taken a sick day since his drug and alcohol abuse days) and turns up at the Inn by the lake that Nicole told him about.

    Long story short they meet on jetty of the cabin. He sees his son in the flesh for the first time, Lexie has already told him he is very lucky as he has two daddies (WTF)

    They declare undying love, she tells him that uncle Ray told her not to waste time anymore. She doesn't think he is going to stay long (why would he) so between them and the mountains they have all they need.

    Bei meiner Suche nach Büchern mit Las Vegas als Handlungsort wurde ich auf dieses Buch aufmerksam. Zufällig habe ich es dann neulich bei Amazon als kostenfreies E-Book entdeckt und natürlich sofort heruntergeladen. Die Geschichte ist Chick-Lit-lastiger als ich anhand der Kurzbeschreibung vermutet hatte. Die Geschehnisse sind alle sehr voraussehbar und wirken zudem sehr künstlich. So viele Irrtümer und Missgeschicke kann es doch einfach nicht geben… Dadurch wurde die Geschichte für mich auch recht langweilig. Die Protagonisten haben mir nicht so gefallen. Während Leo fast schon zu perfekt war, fand ich Lexi und vor allem ihre Handlungen einfach nur egoistisch und häufig nicht nachvollziehbar. Der Lesefluss wurde zudem durch grammatikalische Fehler und doppelte Wörter gestört. Sehr gelungen fand ich jedoch die Beschreibung von Las Vegas und der Autorin ist es auch gut gelungen, dieses typische Las Vegas-Gefühl zu vermitteln.

    Lexi admits to Leo that she is married,but separated from her husband. The issue that caused their separation was children.Andrew does not want any and Lexi wants a child,but the two can not come to any agreement.
    .Lexi and Leo have instant connection,which does not have with her husband.They spend a wonderful night and morning together,and decide to the day together to explore their new feeling.Her plane leaves at 10 .Lexi feels happy with Leo. She leaves without seeing LeoUnknown to her,leo has received a major carreer opportunity and had to send a message to Lexi,which she never receives..While waiting for the plane,Lexi tells Nicole she knows it was more than one night stand.Nicole tells her everybody comes to Vegas to have have fun,have flings and go home.

    The story line is good, but I skipped some of the (great) descriptions of Los Vegas because I wanted to know what happened next! This book will keep readers turning pages until the end. It was nice to see an author resist the temptation to finish the novel with a random chapter that is meant to make readers want to read the next story.

    No, they don't wake up and find themselves married to each other. Actually, she's already married. Or separated, anyway.
    This story takes place in two time bands, there is the 2005 meeting and then the events that occur five years later.
    Lexi met a darkly handsome guy (Leo) in the bar of their hotel and they spent a night together. Following a mix up in comms the next day, Lexi leaves for home thinking Leo didn't want more.
    Her estranged hubby, Andrew has a change of heart and begs Lexi to take him back and weeks later she is pregnant. The main thing about that is that the child is the image of Leo and Lexi doesn't know it yet, but Andrew has every reason to know the kid isn't his.
    It's a love-at-first-sight-enduring-love story with a secret baby to add to the drama.
    There is another book about Lexi and Leo if you are interested, but this book is a complete piece with no cliffy.
