One Foolish Night (Eternal Bachelors Club) Tina FolsomAfter reading the first three books of this series I was so dying to sink my teeth into “One Foolish Night.”We met Holly Foster in the Lawful three books.  She was Sabrina’s best friend.  We also learned a little something about Holly in “Lawful Wife”.  She was ready to get out of her Escort profession and she wanted an HEA like her best friend.  Only thing was with a past like hers she doubted she’d ever find someone who could love her.  So at the end of Lawful Wife Paul Gilbert meets Holly Foster and is enchanted by her.  This is where “One Foolish Night” picks up.  Holly decides what can it hurt to throw caution to the wind.  She wants one night to feel like other women. To be in the arms of a man she wants to be with and not a client.  She wants to feel.Holly see’s Paul Gilbert at the bar and decides this is her throwing caution to the wind.  He’s gorgeous, has a great body and is the type of man Holly always avoided in her business.  After finally making her decision to quit her job she texts her boss to let her know she quits, then puts her phone away and walks towards Paul at the bar.  Hey she’s on vacation and everyone has flings on vacation why not her.Holly being very flirtatious and seductive ends up propositioning Paul and what starts out to be a one night fling turns into much much more.  For both Holly and Paul.  But when Paul sees a text, and takes it out of contexts and realizes Holly is an escort he’s furious and says some pretty nasty things to her.  Holly being blindsided by this feels hurt then her hurt turns to anger.  The look of disgust in his eyes is enough to send her running and it doesn’t help that he actually kicked her out of his house.  Right here at this point of the read I cried so have a box of tissues.For the next ten weeks all Paul can think about and dream about is Holly, so when he met his parents for lunch and the topic of their anniversary party was brought up his mother started in on him again about introducing him to very eligible females Paul lost it.  Being angry with his mother’s constant interference he blatantly stated he would be there and he would be bringing his girlfriend Holly.  With that he left the restaurant.Back in San Francisco Holly is at her doctor’s office and gets the surprise of her life.  She finds out she’s pregnant.  Emotions are running wild but she’s made a decision to keep her child and she finally is happy with the prospects of a future which will not include Paul.  After her visit to the doctors she had one more stop to secure her future.  Holly wanted to buy a matchmaking business and had applied for a loan at her bank. When she entered and saw the person who would either approve or not approve her loan her heart sank.  It was a past client and she prayed he didn’t recognize her.  No such luck.  The loan officer propositioned her if she wanted her loan, but Holly stuck to her guns and refused, she would go elsewhere for the loan.As Holly was leaving the bank she got a call and checked the caller id on her phone.  It was Paul and he wanted to meet with her to talk.  Of course her heart was racing and she thought okay maybe just maybe she could have happy.  But during the meeting when Paul told her of his situation Holly’s heart locked down and she went all business mode.  She did not tell Paul she was no longer in the Escort business and she didn’t tell him she was pregnant.  She didn’t want to accept his proposition and told him no but when he offered to pay her anything she decided she’ll throw out the figure she needed for her business and he’d laugh and walk away.  But the thing is, he didn’t and he accepted her price and gave her a check right then and there.This is all I can give you, but Tina put some pretty serious twists in this read.  When you thought all would be well with Holly and Paul, all hell breaks loose.  At one point I was so fist pumping.  Tina I give this read 5* I absolutely loved it.  I so can’t wait for Tara and Jay’s book.  BUT why do we have to wait until December.
