BOOK SYNOPSIS:
He plays to win and isn’t afraid to break all the rules…
Fiery bartender Julia Bell has been hit on by her fair share of customers, but has never been tempted to dip so much as a toe in that particular dating pool. She wants a man who can claim her body AND captivate her mind. Enter Clay Nichols, a lawyer with a dirty mind and a mouth to match. Confident, sexy, and commanding, he takes Julia to new heights of pleasure. And after one unforgettable weekend together, he craves more of her. If only she hadn’t taken off without saying goodbye…
Julia has no room in her life for commitment, not while she has serious trouble breathing down her neck, thanks to the criminal dabblings of a former flame. She doesn’t want to involve anyone she cares about in the kind of danger that’s chasing her and that’s the problem with Clay–she’s falling for him. Hard. He makes her heart race, and sets her body on fire.
He’s determined to keep her in his life, no matter the cost. She’s the woman he desires in every way. But when the past threatens to destroy any chance at a future, she has to make a choice –keep running, or give love a shot with a man who can hold her imagination, and her heart, night after night…
REVIEW:
3.75 Hearts First let me say that Night After Night is #1 in the series but you really need to read First Night (#.5) to understand… Luckily the copy I got from NetGalley included both.
This is a short novella about a chance meeting between Julia and Clay and the connection they had but Julia has her own issues that she is dealing with and Clay really doesn’t want any more drama in his life. There is a conclusion to this story in After This Night (comes out in May) but this story is left with a cliffhanger.
I enjoyed the story. It is an interesting combination of good and not so good writing. The story is written very well and is very intriguing but some of the conversations aren’t written in a way that a normal person would talk. There is just something off about it.. And yet I liked the story. The connection between Julia and Clay is great. They are hot between the sheets and the writing of those scenes is done very well. I want to know how it ends. I want to see the couple make it. I am really looking forward to the next book.
