Go figure -- a person lucky enough to win a shiny red T-Bird convertible -- should be able to find someone to love. Bailey Ventura has her sights set on what her perfect lover should be. He has to look like, have the moves and sing like the king -- the king of rock and roll -- you know Elvis. All the ladies in Bailey's family are in love with Elvis and bemoan the fact that he's gone. Oh they don't acknowledge his passing just that he's missing and along with many of his faithful fans they await the day when he returns. Bailey's vacation in Las Vegas starts out rather unlucky. First she has to be rescued from the shower stall with the door solidly stuck and her without even a washcloth to keep her modesty in check as the security officer is summoned to help. Then she gets stuck in the elevator on the way down to the casinos and silently prays that that security office won't show up. With $10 deposited in the slot machine Bailey decides it's time -- so garnering all her courage with the help of the white Russian in her hand she presses the maximum credit button and waits. Wild Card -- Wild Card -- Wild Card. And the T-Bird is hers and guess who comes to present her with the keys to her new car -- security guy -- Carter Davis. Carter Davis also happens to be appearing as one of the Elvis tribute artists. There's no denying, even though their initial meeting was a rather embarrassing one, the attraction. But Carter isn't looking for someone who falls in love with his Elvis persona he wants the real thing and is reluctant to believe there is any future with Bailey Carter. Throw in a jewelry heist, some bad guys, and a cast of crazy relatives it's going to take some work to make their relationship work. But in the words of Bailey's Aunt Fiona "if a man makes you sick enough to puke -- it must be real love." So Bailey's in it for the duration.

Alexa Darin has compiled an interesting set of characters in this story about the people that seem to line up outside of Graceland everyday. They are quirky but nice and certainly fun to watch as they throw their unmentionables up on stage at these artists who work very hard at perfecting their Elvis acts. You can't help but get attached to these funny and warm people and root for the good guys. At the end of the day it makes you reach for your old Elvis albums to hear the king once again.
