⭐️ 3.5 "Red Carpet" Stars ⭐️
One Wild Night is a short, light and steamy read! I love both A.L. Jackson & Rebecca Shea and was really excited to read this Hollywood romance when I first hear about it.
"This kiss bears the weight of what she's feeling, and fuck if it doesn't about make my heart explode."
When Kaylee and Paxton meet on the red carpet, there’s an instant attraction between them. In spite of Paxton’s smug attitude, he achieves to make Kaylee agree to one night with him. He’s her fantasy, so it’s really a dream come true for her! What they don’t expect, is for this night to turn into so much more.
The sexy moments in this story are really hot. Paxton is a little arrogant about his status as an a-list actor, but he’s also down to earth when it matters. He really cares for Kaylee and it shows with the way he treats her. There is a little suspense added to the mix to keep the story entertaining.
I must admit I was rather surprised when I realized it was only a novella as I’m not a fan of short reads. I feel the build-up of the relationship was too rushed with insta-lust / insta-love, but I still really enjoyed the flirty banters and funny situations between the main couple.
"I say fuck the whole world because I want you to be part of mine."
Overall, One Wild Night is quite diverting and I had a good time reading it. If you have a couple of hours on your hands, it’s definitely worth the read!

Roger Ward was truly brilliant.
And by God, so was the face that entered the screen. It was an outright crime for a man to look as good as Paxton Myles, and now I knew first hand it wasn’t just photoshopping and lighting.
So maybe in this film he was playing eighteenth century English Royalty.
None of that really mattered.
Because the man was a freaking Greek God.
The air stirred, a whoosh of quieted activity at the empty seat that was supposed to belong to Elle.
My breath hitched. I struggled not to inhale, struggled not to look. Struggled to pretend as if I wasn’t hit with an overwhelming urge to turn and bury my nose in that masculine scent I could feel prodding at my senses.
The way my chest was heaving and my hands curled around the armrests had to have been obvious enough.
Suddenly he was there, pushing into my personal space, his mouth at my ear. His Southern accent that had me in a puddle earlier was now twisted to match the character on the screen. “He’s a good-looking bloke, isn’t he?”
I had to shake my head to clear it of the stupor. My chin tipped up toward him, my eyes narrowed in a scowl. “Excuse me?” It came out an accusation.
He just sent me one of those belly-flipping grins, the magnitude of it lit up in the frames flicking across the screen. “That bloke there on the screen. You seemed a little…impressed.”
“Um, wow. Someone’s full of themselves, aren’t they?”
I sent the words with all the confidence I could muster, hoping they would knock him down a notch.
His cockiness just grew. Those full lips tweaked into a smirk. “Oh, Kaylee Rose. Don’t act like I couldn’t tell you wanted to climb right over these chairs and fall into that screen. And here I am, in the flesh. No need to go pretending when you can have the real deal.”
“Shh.” It was all a frantic whisper, my eyes wide and wild as they jumped to Roger and Lindsay, praying they weren’t noticing who’d slithered up to my side.
God. Did the man have no shame?
His hand found the slit on my dress, his fingertips light, so, so light I had to wonder if he was really even touching me. Still, the energy eliciting a cascade of chills, an illicit feeling washing me in thigh-clenching desire.
“I like your dress.” He whispered it like a tease.
Nope.
No shame whatsoever.
He inched closer, and I lost all my breath. My hands clutched tighter to the armrests, and I gave it my all to keep my breaths from panting out of my lungs.
“Stop it,” I hissed.
“Stop what?” Oh yes, he could play it off as all kinds of innocent. But I could see the mischief glinting in the brown of his eyes.
“Stop trying to get a rise out of me.”
“Is that what I’m doing? Getting a rise out of you? I’m fairly certain it’s the reverse.”
