Only For A Night

Only for a Night by Naima Simone is one of the books launching Entangled’s new Scorched imprint. This novella is small, but packs some serious heat. Only for a Night is a second chance love story with two characters who are completely opposites of each other. At the age of sixteen, Rion Ward intervened when fourteen- year-old Harper Shaw was being picked on by a couple of jocks. An unlikely friendship was formed between a straight and narrow girl and an up and coming criminal from the streets. Years after Rion pushes Harper away for someone more worthy of her, Harper hunts Rion down to give her the only thing he can give her. Rion agrees to give Harper one night of passion and fulfill her dreams. From voyeurism to MMF action, Rion awakens the dormant vixen hidden within Harper. When you’ve had a crush on or been in love with another person for years as these two have, one night isn’t nearly enough. Only for a Night is a good start to the Lick series. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store for Rion’s best friends and business partners, Sasha and Killian. If they are anything like Rion, their stories promise to be just as hot and passion filled. **Personal Purchase**

This is a short, hot, steamy book. In high school, Rion steps in to help Harper against two jocks that cornered her in high school. This was the beginning of their friendship. It didn’t matter to Harper that Rion grew up on the wrong side of the tracks so to speak or that his father was a mob boss. She believed in him. Because Harper believed he could do anything, Rion was able to pull himself away from his criminal, mob life and away from his father’s influence. Harper has always loved Rion. But when he refused to commit, she married a man she really did not love. Five years later, Harper finds herself at Rion’s club Lick; an aphrodisiac club. She wants sex with Rion. At first he is reluctant but they agree on one night together. Of course you know how that usually works out. Rion opens Harper up to a whole new sexual experience. You’ll have to use your imagine here. When the night ends, Harper wants more, but Rion pushes her away again. While Rion seems torn, he eventually comes to his senses. This is the first time I have read a book by this author. I really enjoyed it. The writing is well done. The story flows easily. It does cover a very short time span (days) but it really did not feel like insta love because they really loved each other but neither one acted on it years ago. I really liked Rion and Harper and was routing for them. If you are not into hot, steamy, graphic scenes then this might not be for you. But if you like second chances, then give it a try.

This is the first book in the Lick series. Iron is the owner of Lick a club with his two friends Sasha and Killian they also are out of the mob and trying to stay clean and show they are more than that. Harper is the "good girl" from high school that showed Rion friendship back years ago but maybe there was more, but she also has a lot of hurt she is trying to get over. When she goes to break out of her shell she goes to Rion and makes a deal for only one night. Will it be only one night or can it be more. This was an amazing read that you don't want to put down. Naima Simone has another great read, cannot wait for the next book on this series.
