I Heart Vegas - Lindsey Kelk (2011)

Angela Clark is back in the fourth instalment of the I Heart series. This time, Angela finds herself at a crossroads. With no foreseeable employment, a visa that is about to expire and a friend who is going crazy over her ex's impending wedding, Angela heads to Vegas, where problems are a thing of the past. However, for Angela, trouble seems to show up no matter where she is. In the land of glitz, glamour and lots of sins, the British import finds herself in more trouble than she bargained for. As she sees her life fall apart before her eyes - in the course of one measly weekend in Sin City - Angela has to figure out what she wants for herself and how she's going to get it before it's too late. Will she find herself in the chapel of love or will she find herself nursing a broken heart? With all the wit, warmth and humour that we've come to expect from Angela throughout the series, this novel certainly doesn't disappoint. You just can't help rooting for the lovable, bumbling Brit who gets herself in over her head pretty much every time she steps out the door. The return of some favourite characters (such as gay actor James Jacobs) is also a plus. So, at the end of the day, if you can't get away to Vegas, consider yourself lucky because the Strip is not always so nice and you don't always win (contrary to what the ads tell you). You're better off reading about the perils of Las Vegas from Angela's point of view. It's more fun that way (and you'll spend less money!) so it's a win-win situation. (AS)

Lindsey Kelk continues her series about Angela, with the fourth book I Heart Vegas. The summary says: "Angela Clark loves her life in New York. She loves her job, her friends and her gorgeous musician boyfriend, Alex, who is finally ready to move in with her and start planning their future together. Everything is perfect. But, after Angela loses her job, her world starts to crumble around her - her visa is revoked and she's given the disastrous news that she must leave New York and her life behind and go back to London. Confused, heartbroken and desperate to stay, the last thing Angela needs is a girls' trip to Vegas just before Christmas - especially when Manhattan at Christmas is so perfect that she never wants to go home..." I Heart Vegas is out in December.
