Return to Vegas

Lexi, Leo, and Ben deserved the ending they were given. It was beautiful, full of love, and felt complete. Although, where was Skip in the end?

Lexi and Leo are such a great couple. They now live in the Canadian Rockies with winter on the way. Their son Ben is now a pre-teen having trouble with his classmates because Lexi and Leo are not married. Leo has an opportunity to return to work in Vegas so they all go on a trip there. Those two are meant to be together but will it happen?? Leo is such a sweet guy how could Lexi not right? So many complications in their life they have to overcome. It's such a sweet story I could not put it down. You will love it if you are a romantic!

It has been several years since I read Elena Aitken's What Happens in Vegas and was excited to know she was releasing a follow-up. I took the opportunity to re-read the original and I enjoyed it this time around as much as last. It had twists and turns, drama and heartbreak, and love.

In Return to Vegas, we catch up with Leo and Lexi five years after What Happens in Vegas. Leo and Lexi have made a good life for themselves. But as with any couple, they have their struggles. The author does a good job of depicting some typical struggles a couple may have after getting comfortable in their relationship. They've lived through some heartbreak and some struggles but have remained strong as a couple - or so they thought.

I love how the author demonstrated the struggles each of them had as they withheld information from their partner, each for their own good reasons, but the emotional struggles they work through while trying to navigate the situations they find themselves in was realistic and heartwrenching. I thought the way Leo and Lexi got their ultimate happily-ever-after was perfectly done and a good example of how a couple can work through struggles and come out the other end stronger for it.

All in all, a great read and really nice to catch up with Lexi and Leo.
