Divas Las Vegas: A Tale of Love, Friendship, and Sequined Underpants [Paperback]

Belinda Jones (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 30, 2001

Friends forever, Jamie and Izzy share a dream: a glitzy double wedding in Las Vegas. At age 27, they’ve had enough of dodgy boyfriends and are ready for dodgy husbands—all they have to do is find them. And where better than Vegas itself, where the air is 70 percent oxygen and 30 percent confetti? But as they abandon their lives in sleepy Devon for the eye-popping brilliance of Sin City, their groom-grabbing plan starts to look less than foolproof. And those problems they thought they’d left behind—like Izzy's fiancé and the alarming reappearance of Jamie’s first love—just won't go away.

This review is from: Divas Las Vegas: A Tale of Love, Friendship, and Sequined Underpants (Paperback)

This is a real groovy good read; about two girls Jamie and Izzy who go to Las Vegas in search of husbands to wed.
Izzy's the wild one, getting involved with Lars (the stripper), and the elvis presly impersonator, and then finally Reed Mahoney (the tubby businessman), whom she gets married to. Jamie's the one with all the crushes, first CJ/christian, Zane, and Finn. But my favourite characters in the book definitely are Christian and Scott. Christian reminds me of the boy-next-door with gorgeous green eyes and the oh-so-preppy-but-sexy-at-the-same-time look. Jones really had me going with her vivid description of Christian and Scott (brad pitt, anyone?). I felt for Jamie as she got crushed by CJ(the young christian)and Zane. Jones keeps making the readers guess who Jamie's new beau would be, going round and round about christian, who seemingly pines for Jamie as he prepares getting married to Nadine, only for Nadine to reveal a shocking revalation towards the end of the book.
This book is typically not your average preppy romance book where there only revolves around 2 people, but every other character. Two thumbs up for Jones; keep the good books rolling in!!

Jamie and Izzy are best friends, and both are going through some unhappiness in their native England. They decide to put Project Presley (a plan they've had for many years) into action: go to Las Vegas and find husbands!!!

I have loved every Belinda Jones book that I have read, and this one does not disappoint. It's both hilarious and touching. A story of love, friends, family, and the glittering city of Las Vegas. Readers familiar with Vegas will enjoy seeing all their favourite landmarks included.

This is a great book; extremely funny with great characters. You will love Jamie and her pals as they explore Las Vegas and hit the big-time. A really excellent, beach novel - if you like British "Chick-Lit" you will not be disappointed.
