This was my first by Gina L. Maxwell. Even though this was published this year, this book was on my TBR list for a while before that. Bryn Meara stumbles into Vegas after she loses her job as a PR specialist. Caiden Verran is a billionaire who happens to own the hotel they’re in, as well as half of Vegas. They spend the night together celebrating her unemployment, only to wake up married the next morning – with no memory of how they got there. To top it all off, Bryn discovers Caiden is actually a Dark Fae king and she’s stuck in his world until they can reverse their vows. I really loved the premise of this one and might have held on to high expectations for it. Maxwell created a beautifully dark world underneath that typical Vegas vibe. I enjoyed watching Bryn put Caiden in his place whenever he tried to walk all over her. Their transition from enemies to lovers made me laugh at times and want to cry at others. It was great to learn about the cast of Fae royalty and the circumstances of their people’s banishment. I’m excited for book 2, which centers around one of Caiden’s brothers and continue some plot points from book 1. (4/5 rating)
