Caught in a Pickle by CM Kane



3.5 Stars

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...until it doesn't.

Hailey Truitt prides herself on her good decisions. A former foster kid, she's pulled herself up by her bootstraps, made a success of her life, and is happy with who she is and what she's done. At least until she got drunk, got married, and ended up in bed with a sexy stranger...

Star baseball player Alejandro de la Garza isn't about to let some stranger swindle him out of his hard-earned money. He thought he knew how to avoid bullpen bunnies, but a drunken Vegas decision threatens to ruin the safety he's secured for his family.

Both Hailey and Alej think they want an annulment. The problem? A fan posted a video of their wedding online, and now that his ailing Abuelita knows, he has to face the consequences of ending this -- both in the press, and in his private life.

I loved this book. The title is what drew me in and I stayed for the rest of it. Loved Alejandro and Hailey. I don’t normally go for a book where strangers marry and stay together but this one worked for me. It would have been a solid 4 but I need some strings tied up. Hailey has issues at her school and it’s a plot point but we have zero idea what happens to the people who caused her so many issues. Alej’s mom was a dick and they storm off but it’s never mentioned if there is a reconciliation. Overall, going to read all of her books.
