Review:

“Rob Rosen’s Divas Las Vegas is an over-the-top roller coaster ride, full of bitchy humor, cops and robbers, and fabulous costumes. Laid-off bookseller Em and his best buddy Justin set off on an epic quest into the Nevada desert in search of a truly ugly vase, a family heirloom sold at a garage sale that has been spotted on an episode of Antiques Roadshow. Along the way, they have a lot of great sex, help the FBI nab a bunch of dangerous felons, and maybe, just maybe, find true love."-- Neil Plakcy, author of Surfer Boys, Mahu, and Mahu Vice

“Rob Rosen rules! Divas Las Vegas is page after page of fabulous fun. It’s like Some Like It Hot, but with even more drag and glitz - a whodunit, with a very sexy dose of who-done-who. You’ll be glad that what happens in Vegas did not stay in Vegas this time. I loved it!”-- Kemble Scott, author of the bestselling novels SoMa and The Sower

“Vegas baby Vegas! Sex Romps, Dealers, Hot Boys, Secret Agents and some Fierce No Nonsense Drag Queens set the stage after a priceless vase (pronounced VAZ-- silly discount queens - cuz it's worth a lot of dough) is lost and must be recovered at all costs. Move over David Caruso - GaySI is on the case. No matter who they have to sleep with. A Gay Day at Disney thrill ride from start to finish.”-- ANT, Stand-Up Comic/Actor/TV Personality extraordinaire

“Rosen's cheerfully cheeky romp through the boys and beds of Las Vegas can be summed up in just three words: fierce sexy slapstick.”-- Richard Labonte, author of Daddies and Best Gay Erotica

“What could be more fun than a trip to Las Vegas with your gay best friend? Justin and Em go to search for an antique heirloom vase, but take plenty of wacky detours on their way to find it. Rob Rosen’s Divas Las Vegas is a thrill ride of classic camp comedy that gets even crazier when “real girl” friend Glenda comes down from San Francisco to join the guys. From time to time Rosen lets Em talk directly to the reader, giving us a travelogue of sex in high- (and low-) end resort casinos. Throw a Patsy Cline impersonator into the mix with all the murder, thievery and mayhem and you have so many outlandish situations that it makes me wish I’d written this book myself.”-- Mark Abramson, author of the Beach Reading series

“I’ve been enjoying Rob Rosen’s work for years and now I’m outing myself, because in his new novel he pulls it all together. Divas Las Vegas has charm, fun, sparkle, wit, memorable characters, a not to miss gay tour guide of Sin City, and a pretty good mystery story. Oh, I forgot. There’s Jimmy Choo shoes, too!”-- Felice Picano, author of The Book of Lies
