Sometimes when you bet in Sin City, it's double or nothing.

Aurora:

I was supposed to go to Vegas with my sister,
But she canceled at the last minute.
I could handle Vegas on my own, right?
Surely nothing bad would happen.

But that's exactly what did happen.
And it wasn't just one bad thing, it was two.
Ryker and Cole.
Ex-Marines. Best friends. Hot-as-sin.
And they don't just want me.
They want to share me.
If they can handle my secret.

Ryker:

I wanted those gorgeous curves the second I saw Aurora.
Then Cole decided to make it a bet.
The stakes were high.
I wanted her bad enough to take the risk,
Even if I had to share her.

Cole:

Things weren't going good for me in Sin City.
I needed a distraction.
Then I saw one, and she was more than a distraction.
She was flawless.
Absolutely perfect, with curves that drove me wild.
Except she's not what she seems.
Then again, neither am I.
Not even Ryker knows what I'm really up to in Vegas.

This is a steamy MFM novella and the fifth in the Nevada Bad Boys series. Each one is a STANDALONE. This is a bad boy romance with plenty of heat. This time, you get to fall in love with TWO Nevada Bad Boys at the same time. Go ahead, you owe it to yourself.

Just wasn’t for me.....

I tried ,really I did but a book about a ditzy ( what else can you call a girl who’s traveling a for the first time,to Vegas of all places and goes off alone with the first two men she meets ( with only an Uber driver to chaperone at times ) or TSTL ,patato,potato, any way, a ditzy and very close to the border of TSTL ,22 yr. old girl ( VERY MUCH A GIRL,NOT a woman) goes off alone with two stranger to various casinos around the city ,then off to buy liquor to do shots on the roof of Caesar’s palace,like some dumb movie and then gets drunk off three shots because she’s never drank before then takes them up to her room.
Seriously ? Are you kidding me ?
22 years old, never drank before,some how never been kissed either (Seriously ?) and of course is a virgin ( heaven help us all) goes off with two strange men,when all she knows about them is there names and that their H o T hot.....
Dear Lord in Heaven......
Bless her heart ❤️, this chick 🐣 sooo needs a keeper or minder or baby sitter or something because you add up those never have done or never had’s together along with being alone in Vegas and wandering off with strangers .....
and well does TSTL even begin to cover it ? I mean in the few hours after she’s met these two they know her whole life story, I don’t wanna be mean or harsh but by chapter eight at 30% of the book she’d already passed out asleep in her room with both of them after they thankfully had enough scruples to pry her off of them ( coz apparently a drunk Aurora was a very horny Aurora) and when she woke up in pain from over doing it ( absolutely NO sympathy here) and begging these two strangers to stay and spend the day with her.....
Honestly I’m just glad these two ,who have enough morals scraped together to make change, and decided not to take advantage of her deeply TSTL behavior and got to her before her eager butt was found by a cult...
That’s all I’m saying ....
I had to bail after that..... ok, soo maybe I did peek at the ending ..... and, yeah,let’s just say at the end, she’s be kidnapped and rescued and seen ppl shot but still never wants to leave Vegas coz that’s where her men are.....
No telling what she told Mom and Dad.....
Would a cult have been kinder?
Huh ? than two men who barely make ends meet,one as a gambler and one in an MC ?
Yeah I know I skipped around but I’m leaving this hoping it’s a HFN ,Coz if this girl were real I’d be praying for her to get a clue,some common sense and quite possibly some therapy and maybe some electro shock ;) ( or maybe that’s just my inner beyotch reacting to such TSTL behavior) ....
Not because she’s with two men,( that’s a personal fantasy,just the deeply TSTL way she goes about it)
Any who, Congrats to the writer getting their work out here and following their dreams but I personally can’t recommend this and I won’t be trying this writer again....

Enjoyable Read

This was a nice read although a bit predictable and repetitive as it was a similar formula to her other books in this series. I’d recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a MFM story with a happy ending.

Omg - I couldn't believe the contrasting absurdity and innocence of Aurora!

Ryker and Cole.were, at heart, valiant when it came to Aurora, and they each possessed a different kind.of masculine beauty that appealed to Aurora. She was so fortunate connecting with them in Vegas, just as they deemed themselves blessed as well as damned lucky to have won her over when they felt they recall had nothing to offer her but struggling and strife. Aurora saw them as her exciting future and couldn't imagine how she had even survived or existed before without either Cole or Ryker there with her. The storyline was good; some of the details and facts were off-setting and slightly INACCURATE (to the reviewer who scoffed at Aurora's recognition of the Grand Canyon the first time she looked out the window during the plane's approach into Las Vegas - if she were coming from Tennessee, which she ABSOLUTELY WAS, she would indeed have glimpsed it, since Las Vegas is located in the Southeastern corner of Nevada), such as in which particular parts of Nevada would prostitution be legal. WTH?! Make sure you have all the characters' personal details before throwing insults around. Our female mc is from Tennessee. She's unworldly, naive, sweet, beautiful, and had been completely sheltered her entire life. Aurora arrived in Vegas as a twenty-two year old virgin who hadn't even experienced a kiss on the lips with a man, and within her first two days, she has Ryker catching her up quite nicely. I thought it was great her first experience was with such a compassionate, gorgeous former marine who wasn't too much older than she was. I'm also happy her first time was with Ryker instead of Cole. He was a bit too rough and dominant where he might have scared or hurt her whereas Ryker could connect with her emotionally and spiritually as well as physically. Lucky girl! She had the best of both worlds: Cole to keep her in line, with Ryker there to help balance them out.

I must say, Ms. Kelli Callahan has completely impressed me with her latest release, Vegas Bets. Aurora might have won a contest that takes her all the way to Las Vegas, the Bellagio, to be exact, but what awaits her is nothing short of superb perfection (X2). Unbeknownst to Aurora, her entire World is about to be turned upside down by two Ex-Marines; Ryker and Cole. Lust at first sight is exactly what Cole, as well as Ryker, experience upon setting their sights on this innocent little blonde. Needless to say, Aurora is a long way from home, Tennessee is nothing like Sin City or what they are just dying to show her, all they want is her eager, and they can handle the rest... Willingly.

Follow along as these two, hot as sin former soldiers gamble away their hearts to the sweetest thing they know, Aurora. Is action and intrigue served up with some super hot scenes something that appeals to you as a reader? Well then, please, check out the talent displayed throughout by Ms. Callahan. Vegas Bets is such a steamy read that is packed from cover to cover with beautifully crafted combustible chemistry between this trio. Wonderfully written storyline with relatable characters and an exquisite happily ever after, you are 100% sure to love.

I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced reader's copy of Vegas Bets in exchange for my honest opinion and I have given you exactly that. I absolutely loved this compelling release.

Aurora wins a trip to Vegas a place she has always wanted to go. She invites her sister but she cancels on her at the last minute so she goes on her own. Aurora meets Ryker and Cole when she goes to a bar. Ryker and Cole are ex marine buddies and they made a bet for Ryker to get Aurora to agree to sleep with both of them. However once they spend time with her and learn that she's a virgin they call off their bet. Ryker and Aurora continue talking to get to know each other. After learning about their bet instead of being upset Aurora is intrigued and wants to see of she can take them both on for her first time. Will Aurora give in to the men?


This is a great story once I started this book I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between Ryker, Aurora and Cole is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

IN this book we meet Aurora, Ryker, and Cole. Aurora just won a contest that gives her 2 tickets to Vegas. However the same weekend that she is supposed to go is the same weekend her sister needs to be the maid of honor in her best friends wedding. Also Aurora may have faked some of her information on the contest paperwork. Cole and Ryker have their own secrets but when they are looking for a little distraction little did they know she would be walking in soon. Can the three of them find a HEA or will it all go up in flames before it begins?

This is an amazing book. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin any of the surprises for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Kelli Callahan has dizzy heroine for us written the perfect in Aurora. She's a rather sheltered young virgin, not a woman, who goes to Vegas after winning a competition. Her sister can't go with her so this immature 22 year old goes off on her own. Then she lets herself be picked up by not one but two older men who are ex military. Cole and Ryker make a bet with each other about her but then things get complicated as Cole is in trouble and has a secret even from his best friend. Aurora is very naive and goes off with these two men and gets drunk on the roof of Caesar's Palace! Things get hot and steamy with her and Ryker. That I could understand but then when Cole became involved, I thought it really was a massive 'jump' in Aurora's sexual adventures - but then that seems to be what she craves. When things go 'belly up' will these three ever be able to be together again? I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Recommended

After checking in to the Bellagio she goes to the bar where she meets Ryker. Ryker and Cole are ex-marine buddies who like to gamble and the current bet is for Ryker to get the beautiful woman who check in to have sex with them both. Once they start to know Aurora and that she is untouched they call off the bet. Cole goes off the next morning to do something while Ryker stays with Aurora and they end up getting close. When she finds out about the bet she wants to have them both. A gambling romance to relax and enjoy.

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I really enjoyed this story about Ryker, Cole and Aurora. She wins a trip to Vegas and wants to take her sister, but after get sister says she can't go, Aurora decides to go by herself. Innocent and having lived a sheltered life, Aurora is blown away with the life there. She meets Ryker first and then Cole. The guys make a bet about hooking up with her but once they see how naive she is there call it off, but indulge get in some of her bucket list items. But things heat up between them quickly and she is willing to try new things. Love the chemistry between them and how every though they just meet, she has a positive impact on their lives. Great quick read with lots of heat and action.

Doesn't get much worse than this.

Do not buy you series, do not buy this book, do not buy this author do not, do not, do not. The material she tackles basically BDSM, which should be safe, sane, consensual and risk aware is too too heavy for causal sex partners basically strangers in this book-yikes! For her to portray it as she does is irresponsible, dangerous and misleading. This is a terrible concept that she wouldn't let go off, so instead she wrote a terrible book around it and pushed it out. Do not buy this book under any circumstances. Less than zero stars is deserving of this installment book. Bad author too. Bad, horrible, awful- any negative terminology you can think of apply to this book! The author deserves a punishment spanking. No funishment spanking for her!!!

Don't waste your time

This is one of the worst books I've ever read. The about of pages I quickly scanned through just hoping it would get better but it didn't.
I'll break it down ...2 ex marines who are complete losers that don't work and spend their days and nights away gambling take advantage of a young lonely tourist who they realize is not only a virgin but suffers from being lonely. Dhe falls for them. Cole owes money to loan sharks and they end up kidnapping Aurora who blames herself(eye roll) because she ran into the parking lot after saying goodbye to leave her number with them.
In the end she stays in Vegas with the 2 jobless bums bringing in the only income between the 3. Worst book I've ever read. Terrible.

This book was definitely an eye opener! The main characters all have character flaws that make them intriguing. Aurora exaggerates her personal info on an application to win a trip to Las Vegas and ends up winning the trip. Then she goes from naive innocent virgin to the filling in a bad boy sandwich all inside of a week! Ryker and Cole are former Marines and lifelong bad boys who have occasionally crossed the line into illegal activities and who support themselves by playing poker in Vegas. This HEA is not traditional but it works for them.

What an emotional rollercoaster! 😮

I received a free copy of this book however all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.
Wow! I could not put this book down and at the same time I couldn't stop looking at the percentage of book I read, partially because I wanted to find out what happened and the rest because I couldn't bear the thought of the book ending. Although this is about Ryker, Cole and Auroras love story there is truly so much more going on as well, it has true grit and suspension, I would tell you about it, but what happens in Vegas...................................😉

Aurora wins a competition to go to Las Vegas and she wants to take her sister but at the last minute her sister doesn’t go so Aurora goes to Sin City by herself. Aurora goes to a bar and she meets Ryker and Cole the guys are ex marines and they make a bet to see if Aurora will sleep with both of them but when they find out that she is a Virgin they call the bet off. Aurora wants her first time to be with them both so do the guys pass or go all in?. A great read and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

I thought the start of the book was good. While I enjoyed some of this book, I thought the immediate turn from untouched to slut hard to believe. I didn't feel the chemistry between Cole and her. I thought she was being used. Everything after that was hard to read and Cole's gambling aspect is what created the problems in the rest of the book. The author tried to create drama with two men who never came across as strong reliable types given their background in the service. So many things didn't make sense.

This book makes you believe that love at first sight does exist. Small town girls really do happen and when they decide to spread their wings, it is fantastic. This story brings you to Las Vegas and how dreams can change in an instant. It also shows that childish dreams can transform to adult dreams that are different than you thought.

I Recommend this book for OVER 18 DUE TO CONTENT. This book is full of emotion, adventure and intrigue that kept me hooked from the beginning. It is a great fast paced read. Aurora wins a contest for a Vegas trip she entered. She was hoping her sister Becca would be able to go with her but she can not. So Aurora decides to go by herself because this is a once in a lifetime trip for her.

Must read, tourist virgin and to Marines

This book pulled me in from the start, I stayed up late into early morning reading. I was pulled into the tourist Aurora, and seeing everything through her eyes. Then meeting Ryker and Cole the stakes went up. Two hot alpha Marines,one dominant both rough and loved plenty of sex. This was my first read by this author but not my last.

It was an insta-love short story and not bad. Good for when you're in the mood for something fast paced. This is not really the 'fall in love right away' story but more of a 'we have amazing chemistry; let us see where this takes us' kind of story. Decent story with some action scenes included.
