Oh if only this is how one night stands ended! Well they won't be called one night stands any more now would they? I liked the way the story started. Right off the bat we catch the image of Jessica heading for the bar. Sandra paints her as this very sultry and provocative looking woman. She orders a drink that I've never heard of which sounds so sinful that I just might try my luck one night and order it.The opening chapter really gives you an idea of how the entire story will flow. It's spontaneous, arousing and tempting. The way Jessica and Logan meet is just how you would picture the beginning of what would eventually turn in to a night of wild exchanges of passion that can only be chucked in the past only to resurface when you need a little reminder of what being young feels like. The only thing is that in reality, a woman would not dare accept an invitation like the one Logan gave to Jessica after drinking a sobering cup of coffee.I would compare my overall impression of this story to taking a shot of tequila. The environment encourages me and I love the company. Every one seems to be doing it, getting that buzz. Why not me? - smears a little salt on the back of my palm, clips the lime wedge between index and thumb, takes one last look at my friends, eyes plead for an out. Licks the salt, chugs the liquid fire to the back of the throat, sucks on the lime. It burns like hell, everything is on fire, then I'm there on the same level with the rest of the party.The sex in this story is the tequila, the humor is the salt and the lime is the whole premise. I suffered the burn and got the buzz. The first six chapters were on fire. I'll tell you this about the seventh is that I did not see that one coming. The story took a big turn here and I have to admit I would have preferred it to be a little more devious than that.I would compare chapter seven to sucking on a very juicy piece of orange. At first the half in your mouth is sweet like nectar and it encourages you to sink your fangs in deeper. The juice is trickling down your hands as you squeeze the base of the orange to send more of its goodness into your mouth then suddenly what was very sweet turned as sour as lime. In other words I liked the beginning but not the end.It wasn't that the ending was terrible but I thought the story would have gone in a totally different direction. Logan and Jessica did not turn out to be the strangers I thought they were. I will say this though, the ending pretty much explained why Jessica did not take any offense to Logan's invitation.Good read for the first six chapters, the rest I'll leave that up to you to decide.
