Chapter 10 is all I gotta say。 The girls that get it get it， and the girls that don’t， don’t。

I loved Wes and Zoë’s relationship; you could tell that they were so close when they were younger and that even eight years apart couldn’t separate them。 They were so perfect for each other。 This was so hot。 Smoking。 279 million on the Scoville scale。 The things I’d do for Wes to call me little doe。 Hot damn。 I loved that Zoë had a Moroccan background and that there was an inclusion of Arabic in her lines; it’s not common in books and it was so validating to see。

Personally I couldn't get into the story all that much， so it unfortunately ended up being a DNF。 The spicy scenes were obviously great-- as they always are with Isaly。 But I found myself uninterested in the little plot that was there and more intrested in Owen's hinted upcoming story and Jack & Quinn's sporadic "screen" time。 That said， I'll probably give the untitled sequel a shot still！！ Personally I couldn't get into the story all that much， so it unfortunately ended up being a DNF。 The spicy scenes were obviously great-- as they always are with Isaly。 But I found myself uninterested in the little plot that was there and more intrested in Owen's hinted upcoming story and Jack & Quinn's sporadic "screen" time。 That said， I'll probably give the untitled sequel a shot still！！ 。。。more

Can’t get enough of Zoe and WesZoe and Wes are it right from the first chapter。 This books is hot and heavy from the jump。 With just enough angst and trouble to give it a great storyline。 It is another Dana Isaly home-run。 Can not wait to read the next one！

2。5/5 and only for the bit where Zoe is ‘in charge’。 I just wasn’t invested in them as a couple。 He’s a bounty hunter but never really thought to go look for her？ Is salty because she never came back after 5 texts？ I love friends-to-lovers， it’s one of my ultimate favourite tropes， but I need more than this to really get behind it。 The insta love/lust worked for Jack and Quin because they were literal strangers but for me， it was too quick and ‘rushed’ in this one。 I 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 it’s a spicy novella an 2。5/5 and only for the bit where Zoe is ‘in charge’。 I just wasn’t invested in them as a couple。 He’s a bounty hunter but never really thought to go look for her？ Is salty because she never came back after 5 texts？ I love friends-to-lovers， it’s one of my ultimate favourite tropes， but I need more than this to really get behind it。 The insta love/lust worked for Jack and Quin because they were literal strangers but for me， it was too quick and ‘rushed’ in this one。 I 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 it’s a spicy novella and i didn’t go in expecting an epic love story over 90 pages， but for me， there could have been a lot more on the relationship side of things rather than the banging。 Absolutely will still be reading Owen’s story and I really want to look into the Triad Series， but unfortunately for me this one was a lil bit of a letdown。 。。。more

Another smutty novella to enjoy！！ I love Dana writing and her novellas are filled with amazing smut。 Never thought that the friends to lovers would work on a novella but it did here and it was very cute。 I love her work and if you like smutty novellas， Dana is for you！！

Short， adorable， steamy。 The second installment in the One Night series was as good as the first one。 I can't wait to read Owen's story。 Arranged marriage is one of my favourite tropes。Also can we get a pegging bonus scene between Wes and Zoë？ Short， adorable， steamy。 The second installment in the One Night series was as good as the first one。 I can't wait to read Owen's story。 Arranged marriage is one of my favourite tropes。Also can we get a pegging bonus scene between Wes and Zoë？ 。。。more

As always - Dana。 Can。 Do。 No。 Wrong！ This was *chefs kiss*。 The drama， the spice， the yearning Zoë and Wes had for one another - I couldn’t get enough。 I wish there was a billion more pages of them。 Can’t wait to read about Owen next。

The characters， the sexiness， the possessiveness。 Just as the first book， Dana is a QUEEN for these short novella’s that make you feel like you read a 300 page book with the way she fits that many emotions into it。 Wes had a perspective like no other。 I loved his and Zoë’s immediate banter & connection again after 8 years。 And a bunch of tattoo’s & piercing’s？！？ YES PLEASE。 I Cannot wait for Owen’s book

CW: rapeThis was satisfying， but not quite as satisfying as Games We Play。 Something was missing， and honestly I cannot figure out what it is。 Short， spicy， kinky， everything I could want from a novella。 There was just something I can't put my finger on。 If I figure it out， I'll come back and edit this。 CW: rapeThis was satisfying， but not quite as satisfying as Games We Play。 Something was missing， and honestly I cannot figure out what it is。 Short， spicy， kinky， everything I could want from a novella。 There was just something I can't put my finger on。 If I figure it out， I'll come back and edit this。 。。。more
