Right now, you're probably asking yourself two things: Who am I? And, what the hell are you doing here? Let's start with the most obvious question, shall we?
Oh, stop it. Don't cringe. No one under the age of 80 clutches their pearls. You might as well get used to it, because for the next six weeks, you're going to hear that word a lot. And you're going to say it a lot. Go ahead, try it out on your tongue. F*ck. F***ck. Ok, good. Now where were we? If you enrolled yourself in this program then you are wholly aware that you're a lousy lay. Good for you. Admitting it is half the battle. For those of you that have been sent here by your husband or significant other, dry your tears and get over it. You've been given a gift, ladies. The gift of mind-blowing, wall-climbing, multiple-orgasm-inducing sex. You have the opportunity to f*ck like a porn star. And I guarantee, you will when I'm done with you.
And who am I? Well, for the next six weeks, I will be your lover, your teacher, your best friend, and your worst enemy. Your every-f*cking-thing. I'm the one who is going to save your relationship and your sex life.
The Seductive Nights Series is my favorite series by Lauren Blakely and I have been anxious for it to continue. Michelle and Jack's journey kicks off with this intro novella, One Night with Her. I have come to absolutely love Lauren's brief introduction stories. They set up the full novel perfectly with just enough about each character to get you interested and a small taste of steam to have you panting for more.
Michelle Milo is a psychiatrist in New York City who specializes in relationships and intimacy. Ironically, she spent the last 10 years of her life in love with a man who only ever saw her as a friend. Now that he is happily married, she is struggling to move on and forget about him. Jack Sullivan runs a successful sex toy company and is one of New York's most eligible bachelors. Though he sells sex for a living, his own sex life is non-existent. Fed up with his "intimacy issues," his sister is pushing him to move one. He just hasn't cared much about it until he spots the sexy woman in the hotel bar.
Michelle and Jack share some flirty, sexy banter and a few cocktails at the bar as the pull between them continues to grow stronger. They are both on the same page for one hot night with a stranger. As their night comes to an end, they start to make plans for another, until a revelation derails that train. It looks like one night might be all they get.
I have to say that based on the glimpse we got of Michelle during Clay and Julia's story, I am not a big fan. But I've been looking forward to this and her chance to redeem herself in my eyes. So far she is off to a good start. What I've read of Jack so far is simply mouth watering and I NEED more! The jury is still out on how he will rate next to Clay, my favorite Blakely boy, but I have a feeling Jack will give him a good run for his money.
From her witty mouth to her sinful body, she’s his perfect fantasy. But there’s more than the undeniable chemistry; they both might be exactly what the other needs.
NOTE: This novella is a free prequel to the full-length standalone novel Nights with Him. It will also be included in the ebook of Nights with Him, so you can read it first as a free download or read it as part of the novel. Enjoy!
No sticker means no free coffee from Starbucks, no free donut from Krispy Kreme, and no free beer. Oh, I wasn't near a Starbucks or a Krispy Kreme this afternoon, so I guess I wouldn't have gotten free coffee or donuts anyway.
I did vote, and now I'm glad the whole campaign process is over - no more campaign ads - no more random phone calls. That'll be nice. And we get a new president. I hope the best man for the job got elected.
The best man for the job couldn't get elected, he wasn't running. Of those that were running, the worst got elected.
The only consolation is knowing that God is the one truly in charge. Things are going to get worse before the return of Christ, this is just a beginning.
Perhaps, the most enriching thing about creating with my lens is the hope I find in the simplest of places. I find the hope of a future in a child's smile. I find the hope of a dream present in young love. I find the hope of delight watching birds frolic. I find the hope of days without darkness within nature's glorious light.
I wonder what hopes will be witnessed by this vibrant, young tree. As its roots strengthen over the years, what childhood games shall be played beneath its branches? What shelter will it so gracefully provide for a lonely soul? Who will be inspired by its blossoms? It is amazing how many lives will be touched and eternally connected by just one, small tree.
