My Review:

I am a sucker for books with wedding dresses on them. I love the cover of The Vegas Proposal. It is the first book I have read by Julie Jarnagin.

I liked Claire and her dreams of saving her family's wedding chapel. I liked how responsible she was and felt sorry for her with everything going on. I also liked Ben.  While the story is more plot driven than character driven, it still moves fairly quickly. While the story is mostly light, it does deal with some heavier issues. I have not read many books set in Nevada, so I also enjoyed the setting.

★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

A celebrity wedding would save her family’s Las Vegas chapel—as long as she doesn’t fall for the groom.

The Traditions Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas has been in Claire Grigg’s family for three generations, and she dreams of restoring the struggling chapel to its original glory. When Claire discovers the chapel’s financial problems and the strain it’s putting on her parents’ marriage, Claire commits to doing whatever it takes to save the business.

Vegas is the last stop on Ben Karr’s tour, and he’s afraid he’ll soon be added to a long list of one-hit wonders. He’s determined to prove that his talent deserves to be taken seriously and all the sacrifices his grandmother made were worth it. He’s known more for his frequent break-ups with famous women than his music. Until he can repair his public image, Ben’s label refuses to invest in another album.

Ben devises a radical plan to save his career––a fake wedding to his starlet ex-girlfriend—but the adorable chapel director and her talk of true love and commitment is making him rethink the scam. Will Claire and Ben let go of their dreams and risk it all to grab onto a shot at true love?
