Excerpt
Kerri-Leigh Grady loves to sink into happily-ever-after tales and blow-up-all-the-things tales, especially when her testosterone-loaded house has hit its monthly limit of athletic socks and slapstick. She holds an MFA from Seton Hill University and a BS in computer science, so she’s a kind of half-artsy, half-nerd ball of nervous twitching. She has an unnatural love of dark humor, gadgets, chickpeas, BJJ, terrible acrylic landscapes, half-assed jewelry, and planners (Hobonichi and TN, natch). When the zombie apocalypse happens, she’s likely to be patient zero. If you see her bite someone, grab your water and head for your bunker.

Welcome to the #ReleaseBlast for The Right Kind of Guy by Kerri-Leigh Grady!! <3
Title: The Right Kind of Guy
Author: Kerri-Leigh Grady
Series: What Happens In Vegas, #17
Releasing Date: October 17, 2016
Genres: Entangled Lovestruck, Romance
Romance novelist Kelsey Spencer doesn’t believe in love, and she's tired of faking her way through happily ever afters. Determined to change things up, she heads to the Las Vegas Romance Lovers Convention. But somewhere between half-naked cover models and hot Navy SEALs, Kelsey’s plans derail...
Especially once she meets über-fan Jasmine Grant...and Jasmine’s über-hot alphahole brother, Aaron.
Buttoned-up Aaron Grant never thought he’d find himself at a romance convention, but here he is, trying to convince his impulsive sister not to marry a beefcake cover model. His only hope is to enlist the aid of the cynical (and sexy) romance writer his sister worships.
After a sweltering jaunt around Vegas, some strange conference hijinks, and one outrageous proposal, Kelsey and Aaron are left questioning everything they know about romance and love...and if falling in love might just be worth the gamble.

“You’re right,” she said, and a weight lifted off her shoulders. “You’re right. So…are you going to her wedding?”He nodded and gave her a half-smile. “Would you like to be my date?”She laughed. “I don’t know. I might not be here for the festivities.”He nodded and pulled his arm away, but for a second, she thought she saw disappointment flicker over his features, and she shivered.When the bartender delivered the fresh beer, Kelsey slid off the stool with her half-finished mojito and lifted her chin toward the casino. “Sir, would you like an escort to the ball?” She offered her elbow, and he took it.He deepened his voice to a bass. “I’d be much obliged, miss.”They walked through the casino and took the escalator to the ballroom level. And when she turned to look at him, she warmed to find him staring at her.“That dress is a pleasant surprise,” he said. They made way for two drunk women, their arms intertwined, to dash past, giggling and failing miserably to hide a bottle of vodka in their skirts.“How so?” She fingered the expensive fabric—Deena’s consignment shopping was apparently a little more highbrow in New York than what Kelsey had found in San Antonio— and wondered if it looked too expensive for a nobody author like her.“The color is perfect, but I like how it fits.” He smiled. “You don’t look like an author tonight. You look like royalty.”She warmed and turned her head, thrilled by his words. But they were a reminder, too. Tonight, she was playing a part, wearing a dress that looked nicer than anything she could afford, and at midnight, she’d have to pick up her pumpkin and mice and find her way back to her desk to whip out more books. And Aaron would return home to rule his father’s kingdom.

#Generalities
What Happens In Vegas is a long series by different authors, the only thing that they have in common is that all stories happen in Las Vegas, so if you did not like one, there is no reason you will not like the others. I have had the chance to read a couple of these books, however, this is book number #17 and my first Kerri-Leigh book ever! I think this is her debut novel or something but I am not really sure about it.
#Book
THE RIGHT KIND OF GUY is a contemporary romance. Kerri tells us about Kelsey and Aaron's story, one as you must have noticed happens in Las Vegas, more specifically in a Romance Convention.
#Characters
Kelsey is romance novelist who just think in HEA when it comes to books but not in real life, after a not-HEA of her own and a lack of imagination when love-in-books is related, she decides she is done with them, but of course, there is something that happens when she has your mind settled. Yes, it is a guy, not any guy, nope, the right kind!
Aaron seems to have all in order but how his sister is handling her life, something must be wrong if he has to follow her to Las Vegas, maybe she is so spontaneous for her own sake, anyways, Aaron, this guy, OMG! He is described as a sexy character who seems to be all I-do-not-need-a-steady-relationship-to-be-happy kind but who is more of a I-do-not-know-what-I-want kind.
#Plot
Kelsey and Aaron have similar thoughts about love, and while they follow his little sister around town, and the more time they spend together, the chemistry between them grows bigger. Plus, if you are not so sure anymore about what you wanted, then it must be for something, no?
The plot was explosive(? I did like it, because I happen to like books when there are authors involve as the main characters, it gives my reading another perspective when it comes to love and HEA. Also, how both characters were described was a good addition to the whole story. I think it was all about them and how they found out their feelings and what they truly wanted, because how-it-happens is just a way through their own HEA, or at least, their happily-for-now story.

#Overall
This book was fascinating to read because not all the time you have a story about an author who do not believe in HEA, plus it was funny, sweet and sexy. And Jasmine/his-sister made it even funnier with all her craziness and the I-will-prove-my-big-brother-that-I-am-capable-of-manage-my-own-life attitude which was incredible.
#SoWhatNow?
You do not need to read all the What Happens In Vegas series to read this one.
