What Happens In Vegas and Fated too!

This week has been crazy! I finished Cascadia Wolves: Fated last night! Wheeee! What Happens in Vegas has now released and has been sighted in stores and reviews are starting to show up online. Check my blog for a few contests!

Okay in the days following the release here are some reviews:

Four Stars - Romantic Times Magazine!

“Provocative and realistic, Stripped by Lauren Dane is a must-read. From the characters to the lights to the music, readers will be immersed in the sights and sounds of naughty Las Vegas.” Talia Ricci for Joyfully Reviewed

Christine at The Happily Ever After gives Stripped an A and says in part: “Stripped” is a hot and sexy and at the same time, a very romantic love story. The relationship between Dahlia and Nash developed at a believable rate and I really appreciated Dahlia’s reluctance at starting a dating or sexual relationship with Nash after his insulting proposition. Not only was Dahlia’s response realistic, but it forced the characters to get to know each other on personal and emotional levels, not just physical. This made the romantic element of their story ring true and their happily ever very sweet.

Chrissy Dionne gives WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS 5 blue ribbons: If you’re looking for a fun read by some of today’s talented authors then be sure to pick up a copy of WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS… it’s a book that will definitely satisfy your desire for a little something extra in your storyline.

Azteclady says of Stripped: I really liked the fact that, despite the short page count (just over a hundred) this story covered several months in the protagonists’ relationship. Since the hero and heroine meet on the first couple of pages, it made it that much easier for me to believe that they would be able to work on their issues enough that, by the end of the story, a future together was not only possible, but very much likely.

Aliquis over at the eharlequin book challenge boards says of Stripped in part: I really enjoyed this novella. Stripped draws you in from the start, and you can almost see Dahlia’s dance. (…) I loved how genuine this story was. The characters are very well written. Nash and Dahlia are very human, and had flaws that they work through. I liked how each could admit they were being silly or unreasonable, suck it up, and move on. I felt that I had a true grasp as to what made Dahlia and Nash tick, and could really believe that they were a couple who would make it
work.

Danny at Loveromances and More gives WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS 5 Hearts: Ms. Dane tells a tale of two lovers who couldn’t come from more different worlds than Dahlia and Nash. First Nash has to fight to show Dahlia that he is seriously interested in her and then they have to fight against his family, because they don’t want to accept her. It’s a moving and very beautiful story.

Laura at Goodreads says in part: Anyway, lucky for me, there is a novella in it by Lauren Dane, which was awesome and turned out to be my fav of the collection. I’ve been wanting to read her “Chase Brothers” series, and after reading this novella I can see why Dane is so popular.

and  Tez  thought Stripped was too romancy and didn’t like my characters but she did like Kit and Anya’s story. (Yes, it is romance, fyi in case anyone wonders!)
