What happens in Vegas…
A regret-free girls’ weekend was supposed to help Carrie Bishop forget about her last relationship and cross-country move. Because when you’ve lost everything, letting loose is easy.
James Arden knew the stakes in Vegas were high, but saving a beautiful blonde at a Blackjack table wasn’t the kind of risk he thought he’d be taking.
Unfortunately, there’s only one recipe for Vegas. One part instant connection. Two parts too much alcohol. A splash of scavenger-hunt serendipity. Shake and enjoy.
Until Carrie wakes to a ring on her finger and a marriage certificate tying her to the illegible signature of a man who’s gone.
It was supposed to be just one night, but now she doesn’t even know her last name.
Coming home married was bad, but walking into work the next day was worse. Carrie’s mistake didn’t stay in Vegas, and her mystery husband is no longer a mystery: he’s her new boss.
James knows what they have is special, and he’ll do anything to prove it. And as their undeniable attraction ups the ante, Carrie hopes she can get back her name without losing her heart in the process.
My Review:
Not having read any other works by Rebecca Sharp before, I didn’t know what to expect before reading Last Name. Needless to say, this second chance accidental marriage story was hilarious and incredibly romantic.
What started out as a girls’ weekend in Vegas, turned out to be so much more for thirty-one-year old, Carrie Bishop. After relocating her whole life to move to Lake Tahoe from New Jersey, Carrie thought she was done with the unfortunate events coming her way. So when she gets the opportunity to go to Vegas with her co-workers, she says yes to letting loose. Little did she know that she was going to end up seeing Las Vegas for the first time with a handsome stranger who safes her from yet another incident at a Blackjack table. It would be their late night scavenger-hunt that would take them all over sin city as they cross out various tasks that she needs to get done. But it would be the next morning when she discovers that she got married to a complete stranger and she doesn’t even know his last name. To her surprise, she would end up finding her mysterious husband at her job and as her new boss. Carrie moved left everything behind in New Jersey, a past that she still coping to overcome and marring her now boss could threaten her future or brake her heart once again.
James Arden hasn’t always been wealthy, he has worked really hard to get to where he is yet his family always comes first. He is always saving everyone around him so when he sees a beautiful blonde at a Blackjack table, he offers to help her look for her friends. So they go around the city and James makes it his mission to show her a memorable time. But with too many drinks in their system, their night quickly moves to the next level and he ends up at her hotel. It would take the next morning to find out that he is married. There is something about Carrie that completely fascinates him and he is determined to find his mysterious wife and he does the minute he ends at his newest investment. He is shocked to see her, but he is not about to let her get away without giving their marriage a chance.
I loved this story! It was such a page-turner and swoon worthy. Although the idea of an accidental marriage in Vegas has been done so many times, Sharp was able to make her own twist to it and made it worked. We have Carrie, she is trying so desperately to move on from her past yet she finds herself making the same mistake and she needs to figure out if James is truly the one for her. On the other hand, James is the protective alpha male that everyone will love. He has worked hard to provide for his family and has gone to bigger lengths to make his brother’s wedding happen. It’s evident from the start that they both have such a great chemistry between them and their relationship grows the more they get to know each other. The Vegas scavenger-hunt was such a great idea and the ending truly comes full circle. All in all, the story had me hooked from beginning to end. I would highly recommend it, I cannot wait to read more from the author in the future. ;)

My Rating:
She enjoys working in her practice with her father as well as letting her creativity run free as an author. Growing up she's always loved a good love story and finally decided to give writing one of her own a go.
After graduating with her doctoral degree, she now enjoys spending that thing called free time traveling with her husband, cooking, and knitting.
