Blurb:

Three women. One bachelorette weekend. Zero chance of everything going to plan...

Adelaide Sinclair is weeks away from her dream wedding to the love of her life... or so everyone believes. Her bachelorette in Vegas is meant to be the ultimate send-off, until her fiancé crashes the party with his bachelor crew, including Connor, the first boy she ever loved... and the only one who knows the truth.

Hailey Clark would rather be anywhere else than a Las Vegas. When the email of a lifetime lands in her inbox - her shot at becoming a published author - she suddenly needs to balance her maid of honor duties with chasing her dreams. Easy enough... until she ends up handcuffed to the bride's charming younger brother, Theo, and her carefully laid plans go up in glittery smoke.

Evelyn Sinclair is finally twenty-one and ready to party, but she's also desperate for cash - and running out of time to get it. A little light theft seems like the perfect solution... until she tries to help herself to a Rolex from the wrist of a dangerously attractive stranger who insists on payback.

What happens in Vegas definitely won't stay there. By the end of the weekend, everything will change.

Review:

I absolutely loved this!

All Bets Are Off follows Adelaide six weeks before her wedding to Liam, as she heads to Las Vegas for her bachelorette party. Her best friend Hailey has planned the perfect itinerary, but things go quickly off-script when the bachelor party unexpectedly joins them, and Adelaide is faced with a surprise - her ex-boyfriend Connor. 

The story is told from the perspectives of Adelaide, Hailey and Adelaide's younger sister Evelyn, and all three are keeping secrets. Adelaide is hiding something about her relationship with Liam, Hailey is on the cusp of landing a publishing deal and Evelyn has a debt hanging over her head.

I loved each of their stories as well as the Las Vegas setting and chaos of the joint bach parties - it really made me feel like I was right there with them. I went into this expecting a light and fluffy romance so I was surprised with the more serious topics woven throughout. They were handled well but also be aware that there is mention of domestic violence.

Usually when a book has a big cast, I can find myself getting a little confused but that wasn't the case here. Every character felt so distinct and completely themselves, and I found myself flying through the pages because it is such an easy and enjoyable read.

This is the second book I have read and enjoyed by this author so she is very quickly becoming a new favourite of mine.
