Review: Quick Sexy Read

Just One Night by Lexi Ryan was a very fast and sexy read. It is set in Decadence Creek and I think should be read as part of the series based on the Duval family. This is Chase Montgomery and Addison Duval's story taking place at her brother Harrison's wedding, also the story of  another novella titled Just the Way You Are. From page one Ryan doesn't waste time in letting readers know that the reformed bad boy Chase wants the younger Addison in every way. Just One Night gives readers a snapshot into the world of Decadence Creek. I thought the story was hot and simmeringly sexy throughout and it did a good job of giving a lot of character background and history, which you don't always get with a short story. I gave three stars for the cover making me want to visit this place,detailed character backgrounds and great romantic scenes. And I liked how Ryan's writing here is no nonsense giving you exactly what you need to build that picture in your mind but keeping it in a short story format. My  critique is I would have liked to see this break that romance series mold a bit more. Ryan is a well enough writer but what could catapult her to greatness is working on more original plot twists and also giving her novellas that previously discussed  sometimes overembellishment but in small doses throughout the story. I would be interested in reading more from this author particularly a full length novel.
