Thank fuck for Lindsey Kelk, is all I can say! I'd been looking for some enjoyable, escapist reading for a while, but all the chicklit novels I'd tried had conjured up a world that seemed completely foreign to me. Stuck between a sea of characters allegedly my age who spoke and behaved more like my grandmother, or ditzy 'girls about town' whose fondness for shopping/relationship/other-girlie-stereotype hijinks read like undiagnosed mental illness... Ugh! Give me a break. (How long is it til the...more
Following I Heart Paris, the next book in the series starts with Angela waiting in her new Brooklyn home, for Alex to arrive back after touring with his band. Soon after, she discovers her visa is being revoked and she faces deportation. I'm kind of getting tired of Angela being so stupid and everything going so drastically wrong for her, but I guess that's what keeps the series going. Jenny comes up with a plan- for Angela to get Alex to marry her for a visa... but Angela's not so sure.

I don't really know how to write a review, but I just wanted to say that I found this book absolutely brilliant! I actually adore the I heart series and I can not wait to start reading London! These books are, by far, my favourite series. I have never been so committed to a series of books, aha! I never used to be interested in books, but I once saw the Hollywood and thought to myself "This actually looks really good!" So I read it, and I was instantly hooked. Despite having read the second one,...more
I think I have loved this book the best of the whole series.
Every reader is looking for that happy, fairy tale ending and this book truly delivered!
It still pisses me off that Angela doesn't communicate with Alex about what's going on. I mean, if I was given a deportation notice, I wouldn't shut up about it! And I certainly wouldn't keep it from the love of my life.
But, the whole deportation secrecy made for some interesting fight scenes with Alex later, which proved very entertaining.

I adore Lindsey Kelk’s novels and I Heart Vegas is no exception. In fact, it might even have vaulted into my favourite of the I Heart Series. Full of Vegas drama in typical Angela style, I laughed out loud and even shed a few tears with this one right along with Angela’s ups and downs.

I just love Lindsey Kelk's writing. She has a very funny way of putting characters across and Angela Clark is a perfect example of that. The I Heart series started with I Heart New York, followed by I Heart Hollywood and then I Heart Paris. Her latest release I Heart Vegas features Angel and her pals as she seems to get herself in a pickle.

Ok for any of you who find the word beginning with C associated with women’s fiction books close your eyes now!! This series has to be one of the best Chick Lit series I have ever read! I even go as far as to say I prefer the I Heart series to the Shopaholic series as the characters seem a little more down to earth.
I Heart Vegas is Lindsey Kelks latest release and it really doesn’t disappoint. If you are an I Heart fan then this book should be the next on your to be read list. Angela is back and...more

Oh how I love Lindsey Kelk. She delivers every time. Her British humour is refreshing (for those of us who read mostly Canadian and American authors) and she never fails to make me literally LOL.
What I enjoy most about this series is that there's something new in every installment. Yes there's slight character development (I say slight because each books tends to span over a short amount of time), but there's always at least one major plot that keeps you turning the pages to see what happens ne...more

Chick Lit?
Well kindof.
The title of Chick Lit brings to mind ditzy, throw away, stupid........and yes there are surely ditzy moments in this book. A lot of books like this you know things are going to work out but Angela's journey towards things working out are always funny, cringe worthy, disasterous and there are moments they hit home, I don't think it's just me that thinks oops yes, when reading about some of the tales.

This is the fourth installment in the I Heart Series. If you’ve never read the I Heart… series before it follows the life of Angela Clark, with her rockstar boyfriend (Alex) and outrageous best friend Jenny Lopez (no, not that Jenny Lopez). As I’ve read the other three books I had a feeling that I knew what was going to happen in this book. For the Angela and Alex storyline I was right, it doesn’t bother me that the stories are predictable… The thing that bothers me is one Miss Angela. With Chic...more
I have never read any of ‘I Heart’ series. I was first introduced to Lindsey Kelk books with The Single Girl’s To Do List last year. So when I saw this book on sale, I decided to give it a try. Besides, I like Lindsey Kelk writing style in The Single Girl’s To Do List.
I love Lindsey Kelk writing. The writing is witty (something that I always look in anything I read). Lindsey succeeds in making her character; Angela seems so real and easy to relate to.

I chose ‘I Heart Vegas’ to inaugurate my Christmas gift Kindle because I wanted something nice and easy to fall into while I got to grips with the new medium and the cover screams ‘this book is for people who don’t think about anything’. I was initially quite pleased, I am quite clearly the target audience for a book like this, I got all of the (very up to date) references and I am an English girl in love with NYC and Vegas much like the protagonist. The fact that the straightforward narrative i...more
This was ... just... not good.
The plot, if you could even call it that, was basically a British girl, living in America, whose visa got cancelled.
Yep. Her Visa Got Cancelled.

The Horror.
If that wasn't petty enough, we were constantly bombarded with her insecure pathetic thoughts, of being jealous of all her hot and pregnant friends.
The rest of the characters weren't that better, in fact, all the characters got under my skin.

Angela Clark loves her life in New York. She a Brit who’s conquered the Big Apple. Unfortunately, she’s also a Brit who’s lost her job. And when, just a couple of weeks before Christmas, the immigration department gets wind of this, Angela needs to find a new job urgently. Or a husband. And she doesn’t think her boyfriend Alex will be keen.

Angela Clark is back and this time she's found out that the machinations of her nasty-piece-of-work-of-an-ex-colleague has led to her green card being revoked. What's a girl to do? Well, if you've read any of the other novels in the "I Heart" series, you know Angela's attempts to solve her problems often go awry (which is exactly why we love reading the series).

This is now my second book in the 'I Heart' series, and although I usually swear to read series in order, I saw this at an airport bookstore and just had to have it for my travels.
Gladly, it didn't disappoint. Furthering the adventures of Angela Clark, it seems she has a little visa trouble. As in the imminently-going-to-be-deported type. Therefore, what does she do? Go to Vegas, of course!
Naturally all sorts of havoc ensues as she and best friend Jenny get into trouble, and other such stuff.

Oh my, that's the biggest nightmare since she has a good life in NYC and she doesn't know what to do..

Having not read any of Lindsey Kelk's prior 'I heart' series, I was going in blind to the character and story premise of what had happened to date. But, although I am a huge hater of not starting at the beginning of a series I found it did not detriment the story at all and now I will definitely seek out the others in the 'I heart' series (in order!!). I really like Kelk's writing style, in fact I would compare it to my own (hopefully that isn't an overly ambitious comment and I mean it in a com...more
At last we have another episode of the I Heart series and I am really excited. We first met journalist, Angela Clark two years ago when she moved to New York on a whim after finding out that her boyfriend had been cheating on her. Since then we have followed Angela as she lands a job blogging for a glossy magazine, hook up with a cute hipster from a rock band and move into a cool apartment in trendy Williamsburg with Brooklyn babe and bestie, Jenny Lopez. Due to popular demand, Lindsey cranked o...more
First of all: I love the I Heart-series and Lindsey Kelk! Her style of writing is funny and I really like Angela. She’s smart, but she’s constantly making some kind of mistake, which get her into crazy adventures.
When Angela gets the letter from the immigration department that she has to leave the country, she doesn’t have the heart to tell Alex, who just came back from Japan. She tells him that everything is going to be fine, although she knows that it’s not going to be fine. It just breaks my...more

The adventures of Angela carry on in I Heart Vegas with Angela getting a letter in the post saying if she doesn't get a US visa in the next 40 days she will be sent back to London, and that doesn't give her a Christmas extension! In typical Angela fashion, she buries her head in the sand, telling people what they want to hear especially Alex her boyfriend that she lives with, that everything will be fine and she'll sort it out.

Can I already have "I heart London", please?:)))
I think I liked "I heart Vegas" best. It was such an easy, funny reading, I laughed out loud and I just love the was Lindsey is writing. She makes me think that writing a book is sooo easy:) And I know it isn't.
I know that some people say that Angela plays on their nerves, that she doesn't speak with her boyfriend, that she is like a child lost in the fog. Well, for me not. OK, sometimes she could be more persistent and could make up her mind a lit...more

Oh Angela. I have such a love/hate relationship with the main character in this series - as I think a lot of people do. After being infuriated in the last two books, I was hesitant to read this one, but I have this need to know where the series is going.
The book was better than others, but still not the best. I'm not sure if I just forgot the secondary characters in Jenny's life from other books, or if they were just thrown into this book in the haphazard way that I felt they were. I spent the...more

Lindsey Kelk’s books have quickly become my guilty pleasures, her books just like Meg Cabot’s and Sophie Kinsella’s I know I can turn to when I need a quick pick me up; they easily bring a smile to my face and they’re the perfect comfort reads. I’ve been glued to Angela’s adventures ever since she ran away from London 18 months ago in I Heart New York. Each time I’m about to start a new book there’s always a nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach worried about what she will get up to this time...more

As with the other books in the "I Heart" series, this book doesn't take itself too seriously, and that makes it all the more enjoyable. Unbelievable things happen but that just adds to the fun. It is chick lit aimed at people in their teens, twenties and thirties, with references to things like fashion designers and tv shows that young people like and know.
An easy read and entertaining read. I am looking forward to reading I Heart London when it is released.

I really love Angela and Alex as a couple, sometimes I find Angela's actions and decisions frustrating but I gues that is because I am a more of a take action kind of person and I would not sit around and wait for the worst to happen. Also I believe about talking about things and not running away from them, however this story is perfect I love the way it ended but I dont for a minute believe that Jenny and Jeff's story is finished as yet. I am looking forward to I heart London because I think th...more
The reason why I picked this up from the library was because of the very first I heart New York novel. While the latter was an excellent read, this just doesn't live up to it. At best, it's bland because of the typical getting hitched at Vegas, the usual concentration on looks, and the ending was predictable.
All i can say that this is the 4th book i have read by Lindsey Kelk and i wasn't dissapointed. I will say one thing about Lindsey Kelk is she knows how to keep her readers glued to her books.
I heart Vegas is the fourth book from the I heart series and so far i really am enjoying them. The books are very easy to read and very easy to follow.
Out of all 4 books this is my favourite. Angela is still very happy with boyfriend Alex but a letter from INS is putting strain on there realationship as Ang...more
