Any Man Of Mine - Rachel Gibson

Synopsis:
What happens in Vegas . . . doesn't always stay there.

Autumn Haven's Las Vegas "to-do" list said to catch a show and play the slots—not wake up married to a sexy jerk like Sam LeClaire. The first moment she saw him eyeing her like a luscious piece of the dessert buffet, her usually responsible self told her to run. And she did—right into the wildest fantasy weekend of her life. But Monday morning jolted her back to reality, and before she could say "pass the coffee," Sam was gone.

Now a successful wedding planner, Autumn hasn't clapped eyes on the heartbreaking hockey superstar for over two years . . . until she organizes his teammate's "Special Day," where Sam makes a big play to pick up where he left off! But she has vowed any man of hers plays for keeps. Is Sam the man for her or does she banish him to the sin bin forever?

Rating:

While I found this book enjoyable, I was left wanting....more.  There wasn't any real drama.  There was more of a yo-yo affect going on.  I liked the characters more or less, but I just felt that if there was chemistry there wasn't a lot of it.  It was great to see some of the past characters, Mini Pit and Pit Boss also plan a wedding during this book.  Getting to visit with Faith and Ty was enjoyable but Autumn and Sam....just felt rushed.
