Please see full review at readersedyn (dot) blogspot (dot) com ~~~ I really like this story because it plays on some simple fantasies that, I believe, many women experience. Pshaw! Who am I kidding, men too. I mean who doesn¿t dream of a chance meeting with a celebrity and falling in love? Or spending an incredibly mind-blowing night with said celebrity at the very least? *raises hand* I do and y¿all know you have at one time or another too. And in fact, this is what the Hollywood Heat series is based on: those fantasies that sometimes come true. Now I am not saying anything against Connor, but I may have slipped my own fantasy celebrity in this story to make it even better. *eyes glaze over* And boy did it work ¿ *shakes head to clear thoughts* Sorry ¿bout that. *sheepish grin* Anyway, I liked that Sam was a real character: single mom, working full-time, dependent on best friend and parents to help out on occasion ¿ you know, doing the real-life thing. And I liked that Blaina, Sam¿s bestie, fits my idea of a best friend. Friends are so hard to come by, in the true sense of the word. To me, Blaina epitomized best friend in the best ways. As for my dislikes, it¿s pretty much my consistent complaint with all short stories. Not enough time spent with the characters, so a lack of character depth that you would normally receive in a full-length novel. I feel like we got beneath the surface of Sam and Connor, but not nearly as much as I would have liked to see. I like the emotional angst and the brooding characters, the conflicting emotions triggered from various sources, seeing the negative blossom into a love to be envious of. Not that I wouldn¿t be envious of Sam and Connor, but I do like to see struggle before those three little words make an appearance. I know, I know, but HEA is that much sweeter when the MCs have to work to reach it. But hey, the book was written as a quick read ¿ a teaser of sorts to whet the appetite, eliciting a want for more Ashleigh Raine. In this, the job was accomplished. This story could easily be read in a couple of hours and would be a terrific way to pass some time. But beware of the location you choose to read it. The smexy scenes border on orgasmic and are sure to leave your ¿ errr ¿ needing a lil something something ¿ if you know what I¿m saying. *winks* But hey, don¿t take my word for it. Try it yourself.

Too short. Less than 100 pages. It started off great. The writing was good and the two main chatacters were tremendous. SPOILER ALERT: "I love you and marry me" after a one night stand was too unbelievable. They needed to get to know each other a little. I wish the author had developed their characters more.##

Spend a few hours together pretty much just having sex and you know this is the person you want to be with forever and ever?....no alcohol involved either? I would think her being a single mom would at least make her think before she leaped. This story was very rushed while the story idea seemed interesting enough the actual story fell flat.

More lust than love. This was not a romance book it was literotica! If you are looking for a romance book this is not it!!! One does not fall in love after having sex once, and proposing during sex not romantic!
