Savannah. Courtney. Peyton.
The three sisters grew up not knowing their father and not quite catching a break. But it looks like their luck is about to change when they find out the secret identity of their long-lost dad—a billionaire Las Vegas hotel owner who wants them to come live in a gorgeous penthouse hotel suite. Suddenly the Strip's most exclusive clubs are all-access, and with an unlimited credit card each, it should be easier than ever to fit right in. But in a town full of secrets and illusion, fitting in is nothing compared to finding out the truth about their past.

I was tempted by that beautiful cover and the promise of a fun rags to riches story involving three sisters with their own distinct personalities. But after awhile, it gets tedious to read about how the girls cope with their changed lives and how awesome living in Las Vegas is.
I was expecting for some kind of quirky, funny antics but the sisters are just typical bland characters in my opinion. Savannah the youngest of the sisters is just so desperate for attention and wanted to please her new found friends so much. Coutney the supposedly more mature, smarty pants fell in love with their future stepbrother. And Peyton the oldest sister with a chip on her shoulder just annoyed me so much with her behaviour. It is no suprise that she fell in love with her bodyguard; Jackson.
And don't even get me started with the absent parents thing. Adrian Diamond is such a jerk that I'm surprised that the sisters are willing to put up with such an unemotional available father. Despite its promise of glitzy and glamorous Las Vegas, this book just felt short in my opinion. I'd rather watch reruns of The Gossip Girls to get my share of rich bitchy girls at their best and worst behaviour.
