I still struggle a little with the fact that this series is not set against a contemporary timeline. Attitudes are different. Expectations are different. And so my mind set also needs to change.
So with that reset baseline, I started this book. It is another short read, and is set in the same timeline as book 1, with some character overlap. That helped to cement the story for me.
Again, this is not a long book, but again, the author doesn't force this story. There are twists. There is tension. There is tenderness between the two protagonists. And once again, for the most part, this works.
The author has, in just a few short pages, woven a story and characters with emotion and depth.
Skillfully done.
I voluntarily reviewed an review copy of this book.

Only in Las Vegas could a struggling, single mom and a wealthy son on a mission to destroy his vicious father find that marriage just may be the answer to all of their problems. But is a marriage of convenience really what they both want? The stakes are high and Cupid stacks the deck against the mob, but will Grace and Dominic really hold the winning hand?
Grace has been struggling since her late husband’s gambling debts got him killed. Dominic has his own agenda in Vegas, but the mob wants him to prove he is a stable investor, so he needs a wife. Little did he know the pretty waitress who caught his eye would also snag his heart.
Grace is definitely attracted to Dominic, but when she finds out why he needs to marry her, all bets are off after they say “I do.” The last thing she wants is to be associated with the very mob and casino that left her son fatherless.
MY BIG FAT VEGAS WEDDING by Lori Sizemore has that mid-twentieth century feel, complete with slimy mobsters! Grace definitely comes across as a woman with too much on her plate, but strong enough to cut a deal with Dominic, her eyes wide open, or so she thinks. Dominic has more going for him than revenge and lots of money, this man has heart, he just doesn’t know quite what to do with it when he begins to fall for Grace.
A little humor, some intrigue and Vegas, where anything can happen! A big twist on the Cinderella story with a touch of well-deserved revenge on the side! Definitely an entertaining read with some colorful characters from an era long past!
