From the first page I was drawn right into the story of Vivvy and Nate in Seven-Night Stand.  Ms. Helm has written a wonderful and believable romance that's fun to read and hard to put down.I loved Vivvy, loved getting to know her and understanding her and Nate and seeing how they work together and fall for each other.  And Nate is a wonderful make something of himself despite his family type man and I really like him. And I like his protective streak. He wants to protect his grandfather, the business and his brother.  He's a good man with a tough exterior.  Vivvy is a Hollywood woman who's not really a Hollywood woman. Vivvy's tough, she's trying to make it, but she won't sacrifice people and ideas to do it.  Watching Nate and Vivvy together made this a perfect romance.  And yes there is conflict, how does a man who is made for a small town and a woman who is very use to travel and loves her job plan to make a seven-night stand into more?The story revolves around the week that Vivvy is in town trying to get Nate to agree to the reality show.  And that morphs into their "seven-night stand"  So the storyline revolves around these two plots, the romance and the convincing to do the reality show.  Both bring about conflict that make the story interesting.  Of course the romance brings about quite a bit of interest as well.  I found the story moved at a great pace.  I was drawn right in and felt I was right there with the characters.  Ms. Helm does a great job with pacing and creating a realistic story that the reader both believes and wants to keep turning the page to find out what happens next.  The reader cares about the characters and what is happening in the story.I found Seven-Night Stand to be a realistic and delightful story.  It was a great romance between two characters that I really cared about. I also loved that it introduced some secondary characters that will be in future books (I'm so glad she answered that in the interview, it was something I was wondering about when reading).  The book really came alive for me.  The romance, the story, the characters were all wonderfully written and I look forward to reading more Nicole Helm books in the future!
