Elle Kennedy

Ex-fighter Reed Miller has been secretly lusting over his best friend's girl for months, but he refuses to jeopardize a friendship over a woman—especially one who doesn't like him all that much. Now that Darcy's on the market again, it's even more imperative to stick to his strict hands-off policy. But the sizzling attraction between them is too powerful to ignore, and once he's had a taste of her...all bets are off. Darcy Grant is tired of walking the straight and narrow path. She's on the hunt for passion, and there's no denying Reed is just the man to give it to her. Although she has no interest in dating a bad boy, and certainly not her ex's best friend, it's impossible not to melt beneath Reed's skillful touch. Now it's just a matter of setting a few ground rules—and hoping her rule-breaking, sweet-talking bad boy agrees to follow them. But if she lets Reed into her bed, does she stand a chance of keeping him out of her heart?

When it comes to sex, good girl Skyler Thompson always plays it safe, choosing stable and sedate over wild and thrilling. She doesn't do one-night-stands, but one look at sinfully sexy Gage Holt and she's willing to reconsider. He makes her want to be bad for once in her life, and she's prepared to take what she wants. Danger follows former MMA fighter Gage Holt like a shadow. Despite his successes as part owner of Sin, an exclusive nightclub in Boston, Gage can't risk getting involved with a woman, especially one as sweet as Skyler. Still, he can't resist a taste—and it's so damn good he has to see her again. As addicted as he is to her, Gage knows there's no future for him and Skyler—not with his past lurking in the dark corners of an MMA cage. But Skyler's tougher than she looks, and she's ready to fight for her man.

One Night of Scandal was a fun, sweet and sexy read. It's my first Elle Kenndy novel, but it definitely won't be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed the way she wrote her characters. Their story was engaging and there were plenty of sweet and sexy moments. 

In this book, we get the story of Reed and Darcy. Their history is rather complicated, as Darcy was Reed's best friend AJ's girlfriend until very recently. (There's no cheating in this book for those of you who avoid cheating books like the plague.) When the book starts, Darcy and AJ have split. They're still good friends and they care for reach other, but they don't have the spark needed for a good relationship. 

Reed and Darcy, on the other hand, have fantastic chemistry. They've been attracted to each other for a long time, but wouldn't ever do anything about it because it would hurt AJ. Now that things have changed, it's a great time for them to explore the connection between them. It's nothing serious. Just a fling. (Right. Those always work out well and it never gets complicated by feelings.) Reed isn't relationship material. He's a bad boy screw up. Or is he? 

Reed brought a whole boatload of issues into the fling with Darcy, but I kinda loved him. Underneath his bad boy, love 'em and leave 'em exterior, he was pretty insecure. He was also sexy as sin and a pretty damn good guy all around. I liked Darcy. She was real and believable and I could understand why she would be on the lookout for real passion after what really seemed like more of a close friendship with a few benefits with AJ. She definitely found real passion with Reed. They were smoking hot together. 

There was one scene in the book that was so sweet it might border on cheesy for some people, but I didn't care. I'm a romantic at heart, and it was my favorite part of the book. It's definitely the one that will continue to stand out to me for a long time to come. So freaking cute. And a perfect next step in what was to come for these characters.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Yes, my friends, it's time for another Entangled review! This time of a Brazen title which, as you might already know, means plenty of scintillating and steamy sexual encounters. I especially love Brazen novellas, because they always pack a delectable amount of hot men, lust fueled banter, and just enough story line in to make me want so much more. These novellas are a tease, and I mean that in the best way possible.
 
Gage is exactly the type of man that I love to read about. While I love a "knight in shining armor" character just as much as the next girl, I can't deny there's a very real part of me that loves a bad boy. Understand, please, that I don't mean a chauvinistic asshole. There's entirely too many of those floating around in the book world to count. What I mean is a man who isn't afraid of his raw sexuality. Gage is pure testosterone when he's turned on. There are times when the "sexy" things that come out of a male character's mouth make me laugh. They just sound so ridiculous. In Gage's case? I heard those words in my head, and felt it as they burned into my core. Gage is hot, plain and simple. This reader fully approves.
 
Skyler compliments him perfectly. She's that sweet, unassuming woman I love. The one that blends in to the background, but who you know that you'd definitely be friends with in real life. Skyler is funny. She's honest. Best of all, she's not afraid to take chances. I liked her character a lot, and I was so happy that I didn't have to wait long for things to heat up between her and Gage. These two didn't necessarily have chemistry, since this novella makes things move lightning quick, but they definitely had a connection. If, like me, you're a huge fan of pulse-pounding, blush-inducing sex scenes, you're in for a treat.
 
Don't feel like this is all sex and no story though. I was pleased with the story line that ran underneath Gage and Skyler's attraction. I was curious to find out more and, honestly, I would have happily read a full book featuring these two. The ending was particularly adorable, and I won't deny that I sighed audibly upon reaching it. If you're looking for something short, sweet, and undeniably seductive, check out One Night of Sin. You won't regret it!
