A Little Fiction of Every Flavour: Review: One Night Stand

Amanda Martin has the worst taste in men. After being cheated on not once, but twice, she’s lost all faith in men…and in herself. Determined to regain her confidence, Amanda decides to have a one-night stand. No relationship, no promises, no threat of being hurt again…just sex. What she doesn’t anticipate is meeting a handsome-as-sin stranger who will give her pleasure unlike any she’s ever known.

Joe Sterling has spent his life avoiding relationships, his former job as a military sniper not allowing for such commitments. Now he’s come home to Texas, to let go of the past and to prove he is more than the killer he’s been trained to be.

When Amanda’s life is threatened, Joe’s killer instinct is tested while Amanda struggles to protect her heart. Will they succumb to their overwhelming desire for each other, or lose it all by letting the past dictate their future?

Review:
I loved the premise behind this story. Amanda and Joe for me were completely loveable, relate-able characters. I also love the horsemen ( you'll know what I mean when you read).

For the most part this is a well paced well written read. My only complaint would be that a couple of the sex scenes seemed a little long and overly drawn out and I might have skimmed to the end a little to get on with the story. Other than that I loved this book and the way the romance develops between Joe and Mandy.

I also love all the peripheral characters that are introduced and I am assuming gong to have their own books in the future as it definitely seems setup for that.

Overall I give this 4 out of 5 definitely worth the read and i look forward to the next books.

I live in a small town in the South and am surrounded by the best friends a girl could ask for, as well as a family who supports my writing habit without hesitation.

When I’m not sitting at my laptop desperately trying to shush the voices in my head, I usually have my nose stuck in a book or have loud music playing while I create a fun new recipe in the kitchen. No matter what I’m doing, I’m usually flanked by my Boxer, who I absolutely adore.

I’ve been writing since I was a young girl. My beloved stepmother, who always said I was a hopeless romantic, introduced me to romance novels when I was in my early teens. I remember that first book, which I still read once a year, and I think every man I have ever met has been measured, in some form or fashion, with the hero from that story.

That’s the power of a good romance. It turns us on, makes us laugh, makes us cry…it feeds our soul.

Oh, how the times have changed from those early swashbucklers! Nowadays, bookstores are full with an abundance of alpha males and the women who can stand toe-to-toe with them and take them down. And I love every gun-toting sword-wielding sports playing DNA altered vampire shape-shifting demon on the shelf.

I’ll admit I’m a huge book junkie. At my house, deciding what I’m going to read next is a little like shopping at the bookstore! So many to choose from, and I just keep buying them.

Some of my favorite authors, in no particular order, are Lora Leigh, Lorelei James, Larissa Ione, Maya Banks, Gena Showalter, Kresley Cole, and Sherrilyn Kenyon . . . just to name a few!
