wouldn’t do.
I relapsed.

I Heart Books Review
Vanilla and Vice by Tabatha Vargo & Melissa Andrea
Review by Theresa Esterline
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Will she do ANYTHING to avoid becoming a Vegas vagabond??
This story based mostly in the Empire Sevens resort and casino in Las Vegas is one of starting from nothing and surviving. But what will you do to live - steal, nudity, sex, murder???? Story unfolds brilliantly in front of your eyes as you turn the pages, from the casino noises to the dark bars to the drunken Vegas party goers. As with the past Tabatha and Melissa books I read, the written is seamless. And now a bit about the story...
Eden has escaped her deplorable living conditions only to run out of gas, literally, before getting to her aunt. The Vegas luck is on her side and one of her aunts co-workers rescues her. Now she has a real shot at doing something with the rest of her life. But her aunts boss has other ideas. For Zander, Eden is the ultimate challenge to his addiction. He knows he can't be near her, but he also knows he can't live without Eden's aunt. How will these two survive each other. Will her very vanilla demeanor be the vice he just can't resist?
Favorite passages:
- Even if it was against my morals a tiny bit. I was a beggar. And beggars couldn’t be choosy.
- Instead, she went in that locker room like a fucking fighting champ and came out looking so goddamn delicious that I almost threw myself off the wagon at that moment.
- I knew because I watched her regularly instead of sitting behind my desk doing actual fucking work.
Note: I was given a free copy and voluntarily chose to review this book.

I find it
hard to sum up my life in a paragraph, but I’ll try.
Reading has
always been a passion for me and writing is as instinctive as breathing. Every
inhale is an idea; every exhale a creation. Flutter, The Discover Series, was
my debut release and since then I have written a contemporary romance duet- The
Edge of Darkness and The Grace in Darkness. I also co-wrote Little Black Book
and The Wrath Of Sin with Tabatha Vargo.
The only
thing I do better than writing? Making beautiful, sassy, and independent girls.
My daughters will always be my greatest accomplishment, my biggest fans, and my
every inspiration. I live, breath, and would die for them! I’ve been married to
one of the greatest men in my life for eight years and I love him more than
chocolate (you know shit just got real :), Justin Timberlake and Friday’s.
Without him, my website would be a mess and I would probably be paying more
taxes than I should be. He’s a jack of many trades, and this is just my
opinion, but I like to think besides my daughters, I’m his second-biggest
accomplishment. (Does anyone else hear a horn tooting?)
I was born
in Denver, Colorado, but I will always think of sunny Arizona as my home. I
don’t have a big family, but I’m close with my sister, brother & mom. My
mom is my hero, my reality check, and I couldn’t have asked for a more amazing
person to be raised by. She has supported me throughout this crazy adventure
and I’m lucky to have her on my side!
6 things
you should know about me:
1. I’m a
tornado with lipstick! Translation: I’m very girly, but I can get down and
dirty with the best of them.
2. I adore
the color pink!
3. I love
things that sparkle (including vampires!)
4. I like
even numbers (hence 6 things about me, not 5)
5. I’m
loyal to a fault, but I like to see the good in everybody. Don’t mistake my
kindness for weakness though because my bark is not always bigger than my bite
:))
6. I don’t
like calling readers ‘fans’. When it comes down to it, I am all YOUR biggest
fan! MWAH!
I will
never be able to thank every reader, every blogger, or every author who has
helped me in one or a million ways since I published, but I will try every
chance I get. Y’all are the reason I’m here and every comment, every message,
and every review makes me feel like I have a reason to be. So to the moon and
back, THANK YOU! Mwah!
Okay, so
this was a little longer than a paragraph.
