Book Description
Just one night…
Marcus Sullivan has always been the responsible older brother, stepping in to take care of his seven siblings when their father died. But when the perfectly ordered future he's planned turns out to be a lie, Marcus needs one reckless night to shake free from it all.
Known throughout the world by only one name—Nico—pop songstress Nicola Harding is seen as the ultimate sex kitten. But it's all a lie. After a terrible betrayal she refuses to let anyone else close enough to find out who she really is…or to hurt her again. Especially the gorgeous stranger at the bar.
One night is all Nicola and Marcus agree to share with each other. But instead, a deeper connection than either of them could have anticipated begins….

MY THOUGHTS
LOVED IT
When Marcus Sullivan, owner of a Napa Valley winery, walks in on his girlfriend with another man, he swears that he will never fall in love again. When Nicola, known as Nico and a famous pop star, has her life torn apart by a loser boyfriend who posts nasty pictures of her to destroy her reputation, she swears she will never fall in love again. The pair both decide that what will fix what they are feeling is a good one night stand. The pair lock eyes in a San Francisco night club and well, as they say, the rest is history. Well, their one night stand doesn't exactly turn out to be that! Sounds pretty standard, right? Nope, not at all. In another author's hands, this romantic tale could be full of cliches and a typical story line. Wow, Andre nailed this installment of the Sullivans!
We also get a better introduction to two more Sullivans: Lori and Smith. As a choreographer, Lori has spent a lot of time with Nicola on her music video and Smith, the famous movie star, lends his SF house to Marcus. I have high hope for both since I was teased with Lori and her mystery phone calls, while Smith is down right funny. He seems the complete opposite of his oldest brother, Marcus, who is a straight-laced business man at first glancet. I adored how Lori corners Marcus into visiting her at work and he realizes exactly who Nicola is! This is one seriously hot romance that just makes for a fun read! I am really enjoying how the characters are all connected and now can't wait for the next installment, Can't Help Falling in Love.

A nice guy needed to cut loose, a rock star burned by love, and a one night stand. Everything you need to light up the night, and possibly the future.
ReplyDeleteMy Southern Belle daughter in law would love it if I won this book. She knows I'd be giving it to her as a gift.

Not entering the giveaway but just wanted to stop by and see what you thought on it. I loved this one too. Marcus was a great hero and that had to be one of my favorite one night stands. I fell for em right then and there :) I read Gabe's book last week and omg it was even better! I don't know how she managed that but I was completely smitten :)
