Just One Night - by Lauren Layne


The blurb: 

Riley McKenna knows sex—good sex, bad sex, kinky sex…Her articles in Stiletto magazine are consistently the publication’s most scandalous—and the most read. But Riley has a secret…all that sexy talk? Not an ounce of it comes from personal experience. Her own bedroom escapades are more limited than even her best friends know. When her editor requests that all columnists write something more personal for Stiletto’s anniversary issue, Riley turns to the one man she’s always been able to count on and calls in the favor of a lifetime.

Sam Compton would do anything for Riley McKenna. Anything except be her experimental sex toy. He refuses her request. At least until she tells him that it’ll either be him or she’ll go to someone else. And that, Sam can’t accept. Reluctantly he agrees to her terms—one night of completely meaningless sex in the name of research. Riley thinks she’s prepared for what awaits her in Sam’s bed. After ten years of writing about sex, actually doing it shouldn’t be that different, right? So wrong. What starts as “one time only” becomes “just one more time.” And then one more. And before they know it, Riley and Sam learn first-hand that when it comes to love, there’s no such thing as just one night.


My Opinion:

On to book number three of Lauren Layne’s Stiletto series. The main character in this one is Riley McKenna, who is the “sex expert” at Stiletto magazine. 

For the anniversary issue, the magazine has planned something special, it has to be personal. Well, Riley doesn’t really know what to do with her article. She has a little secret, which makes the actual plan a bit difficult. Riley then turns to the only possible person: Sam Compton. He has been in her life for over 10 years, is her brother’s best friend and practically part of the family. He doesn’t want to be her sex toy though, but after a while agrees to just one night. One thing leads to another and they can’t keep their hands off each other. The way to love and an actual relationship is rocky though, full of ups and downs, misunderstandings and more. It’s also full of passion, heart, emotions and desire. The author captured the relationship between Sam and Riley beautifully, the way they understand each other and treat each other is wonderful. 

Her writing is fun, flirty, steamy, fresh, passionate, exciting and just sweet. Both main characters are great, even though I wanted to hit them at times, especially Sam at one point. 

I love how the friendship group is growing and the previous couple from the series get their part in the story. Especially the friendship the girls have is a key part of it and very special. Also Mitchell and Jake are in several scenes, which I loved. They are all just so fabulous. I definitely found a new favourite series.
