Sally Thorne’s The Hating Game meets Netflix’s The Christmas Prince , you will ADORE this fun and flirty romcom!

What happens in Vegas…

Waking up to the bright lights of Vegas in an unfamiliar penthouse suite, cocktail waitress Phoenix Montgomery finds she’s covered from head to foot in gold glitter and not alone – aside from the empty bottle of champagne, there’s a mystery man in the shower and a huge sparkly ring on her finger!

Stays in Vegas?

There’s no denying Max Waldburg’s demi-god sex appeal but commitment-phobic Phoenix doesn’t do relationships. Only it seems her new husband (agh!) has other ideas…he’s trying to keep that ring on her finger and his wife firmly back in his bed. The only question on her lips is – why? Or maybe, why not?

Praise for Romy Sommer:

‘A fun, sexy romance filled with every emotion… a well written modern day fairy tale that will leave you with a smile on your face’ Harlequin Junkie

‘A fairy-tale romance to warm even the coldest of hearts’ Chloe’s Chick Lit Reviews

Title: Happy escapism
Review: I picked up "Waking up in Vegas" when I had a few moments to relax. Little did I know I would be immediately drawn into someone else's life in the first few pages. I read for hours, had to fetch not one but two cushions for my numb buttocks and take headache tablets due to not moving my neck for so long! The visitors got fish fingers for dinner as I did not go shopping and I excused myself from conversation that evening to finish my story in bed. This story enables you to relax and allow yourself to be absorbed without the fear of a nasty turn around the corner, but is fast moving and interesting (descriptions paint an easy mind picture for you of faraway and modern day places) so as to keep you completely involved. When I finished at 1 am I could turn around and have a happy sleep, with the feeling that the last few hours spent reading this book had been well spent precious 'me time' and truly time off from normal life.

Title: Sweet Romantic Read!!
Review: Wish I could give it 3.5 stars!I enjoyed this one. I thought that Phoenix was a wonderfully written character that you never knew what she would do next. Max was the hero of every girls dream...maybe a bit too perfect, but this just makes the reader wish all men could be exactly like him. This story reminded me of a historical romance but very much in the here and now. If you are primarily a historical romance fan and would like to see if contemporary romance may be your thing this is a great book to pick up.

Title: A fairy tale indeed!
Review: No matter your age, every woman imagines the fairy tale. I spent a delightful few hours reading this lovely story. I am not a fan of romance fiction, but this was splendid, fast paced and joyful. The heroine has a mind of her own and is not some submissive damsel waiting to be swept off her feet - thank goodness! Waking up in Vegas had me laughing, shedding a tear or two and renewing my belief in love. Not bad for a cold winters afternoon read.

Title: Fun Story!
Review: I really enjoyed this book. Fun characters, fun plot. I can't wait to read more of the series. The only problem with it is the Kindle formatting that takes out space between scenes, sometimes I was a bit lost.

Title: Every woman wants Max!
Review: Romy Sommer created a quirky heroine--Phoenix, who really does rise from the ashes--and the hero every woman wants. From the moment Phoenix wakes up to discover she's married a total stranger and she can't remember a thing about it or him to the final Aaaaahhhhhhhh, Waking Up in Vegas provides a perfect blend of reader involvement and escape. A great fun read!

Review: I just didn't like the female lead all that much. Also, enough with modernizing Cinderella stories. I'm so done with them! But maybe give this one a chance anyway, because the author can write well. I'm just sated with this genre, I suppose.

Review: This pretty much a cinderella type story, but it starts with her waking up married in Vegas with no memory of the day before.I loved Max and his confidence of who he was and of his destiny. I liked Phoenix but it took her ages to get her memory back and was a little annoying at times.I liked that Max was always there for her, he was the strong one, willing to do anything to keep them together forever.Phoenix has a fun warm nature that brings people out, a remnant of having to make friends quickly as she was on the road a lot with her parents.As a pair they compliment each other perfectly and give the story a new twist of happiness.

Review: There is no way in this world that Phoenix Montgomery is going to get tied down! She's her own woman, she has plans and none of them involve waking up in a stranger's hotel suite with a wedding ring on her finger. But that's exactly what happens!It's a brilliant start to a fairytale romance that will have you believing in love at first sight...with the help of champagne!What I really liked about this book was it could have gone down so many predictable roads but it certainly didn't. Without giving anything away, the hero Max is sexy, wild, honourable and dutiful all at the same time. Phoenix is crazy and irresponsible on the outside but underneath that tough surface lies a heart crying out for someone genuine in her life.From Vegas to Europe, you will get totally caught up in the story and be cheering by the end!

Review: I first discovered Romy Sommer's Westerwald series during #HIFortnight when I read The Trouble with Mojitos. At the time I didn't realise it was actually book two (is there anything more frustrating than reading a book out of sequence?!) but as it happened it didn't matter too much as the books can be enjoyed as stand alone reads.Waking up in Vegas shares the story of Phoenix and Max, an unlikely couple who wake up in bed together following a wild night out. Phoenix soon realises this stranger is her new husband and she's horrified. She doesn't want commitment- least of all to someone she doesn't know! Max, however is smitten and believes he's found 'the one'. The story revolves around the couple finding out more about each other, uncovering secrets along the way.Phoenix is a strong-willed heroine and I really liked that about her, even though I times I wanted to shake her for trying to fight her feelings. And Max...well, he was the perfect hero- deliciously hot, sensitive and determined to fight for the true love he's convinced he's found.This book had me laughing, cringing and wishing for the happily ever after. A beautifully written contemporary love story with a hint of mystery, Waking up in Vegas is perfect for dreamy romantics everywhere. I've currently only got these books on kindle, but I desperately need to get my hands on paperback copies to sit on my shelf alongside my other favourite books.It's fair to say the Westerwald series has stolen my heart.

Review: I gave this story five stars because purely and simply I fell in love with the hero. What's not to love about Max? Not only is he gorgeous and successful, and pays attention to detail, but he can fix your kitchen taps.The story is a little bit different in the fact that the heroine is the one who doesn't want to be 'tied down' to a relationship, whereas Max knows Phoenix is his destiny. He's just got to convince her that he's hers.We wake up in Vegas, but this story gives us a fairytale ending.
