Good tension built up. Excellent sex scenes and an ending so sweet I cried. It's a simple story, but beautifully told. Loved it!
3.5 stars. This is the story of two men, Cody and Sam, who have a working relationship. Cody is the foreman of a construction company in Las Vegas and Sam has his own stone business specializing in marble and travertine. Cody has never been attracted to a man before, but over the last 6 months, he cannot ignore his reaction and attraction to Sam. He discovers that Sam is gay or at least dates men by accident when he is looking for something on Sam's computer and sees a profile for a ideal date o...more
My Review:
I loved this novella. What a fabulously romantic story. I liked that this book wasn't all about the conflicting emotions that Cody is going through...although he does have them. I liked that he was 40 years old and is mature enough to accept that his feelings for Sam are just the way things are. No, he's never been drawn to a man before, but that's only because he never met Sam before.
These guys are two alpha males. They work construction in Vegas and are everything that you'd consider...more

Want is the first book I’ve read by Ann Mayburn and it definitely won’t be my last! I enjoyed every minute of this sweet and sexy short story, and I hated to see it come to an end. Since the blurb does a great job at explaining what the book is about, I’m not going to rehash it, but I will say that both heroes are very likeable sexy men who really lived and breathed off of the written page.
I enjoyed how both heroes played off each other and the int...more

Cody McPherson never questioned his sexuality. For Heaven’s sake, he was married at one time, but when Sam showed up on Cody’s construction site with a delivery of marble and travertine that thought was quickly dashed. They became fast friends, but each man sensed a deeper connection. When Cody finds a minimized file to “1Night Stand”, an online dating service on Sam’s computer, he can’t tear his eyes away. Sam’s interests read like an autobiography of Cody….mutual attraction.

WANT was such a satisfying read. I always love reading Ann’s writing. Eloquent and easy-to-read, she makes her books so easy to devour.
Construction foreman Cody McPherson has always had a thing for Sam Denham, but has done nothing about it. Until now...

This is my first m/m story by this author and let me tell you, it won’t be my last! The story is pretty short, but it certainly packs a lot…Cody is very uncertain of his feelings for Sam, especially because they are working together. They get set up by the infamous 1 Night Stand services, they are both hesitant at the beginning but you can tell they really care for each other, they are so sweet and tender with each other but they also have a ‘bedsheets going up in flames’ kind of night. Get read...more
This short story is almost pure erotica, hot from page one and with far more sex than plot. But it also has a very nice touch of emotion and the characters of Sam and Cody are clearly more than just fuck-buddies. Well, they have been friends before they discover they’re hot for each other. Now that they have discovered sex, they are still friends, and that’s part of what makes them such an adorable couple.

When you grab a 1 Night Stand story, you usually get a short read with likable characters, lots of sex and a HFN.
So, imagine me happy dancing around when I read that amazingly sweet epilogue, and realized even that's not the end of Cody & Sam's story! Yay!
Love, love, LOVE IT!
3.5 stars because there was definitely a lot of confusion with his/he/him... I often had to go back and reread a part, just to figure out who's doing/saying/thinking what. Other than that, it's just a lovely, hot story!

Reviewed by Posie: I've had this story uploaded on my e reader for awhile and it took me ages to finish it. I kept going back to it, reading a bit at a time.
I did like both characters, but the insta love was so darned fast! They went from zero to sixty in no time.
There is a lot of sex and I found the plot thin. This wasn't an enjoyable read for me.

As part of the 1 Night Stand Series, I pretty much expected this book to move fast to the sex between the characters. Oh Gosh, Cody and Sam were so sweet. I loved them together. One confident and the other hesitant. Loved the tension buildup to explosion. What happens in the epilogue was surprising and I'm excited to hear that the author plans on a future release featuring these two characters.
Never really read this series before or anything by Ann Mayburn, I think the story charms me with the epilogue. Without that epilogue, this will get a lesser rating. What can I say, I'm a sucker for ... ((view spoiler)). The whole (short) story is basically one night of lovemaking. If you're good for that, than this one for you ... at least both men are likeable
1.5 star. So-so short m/m about a straight construction foreman who's been lusting after one of the stonemasons working for him. Via the 1 Night Stand service, he manages to arrange a blind date with the man. The pronoun confusion in this one was painful - I really couldn't figure out who was doing what to whom most of the time.

Ann Mayburn’s WANT is one of the hottest short stories I’ve ever read. There is more sex packed into a these pages than most novels. But she’s also managed to provide a great GFY plot and characters to fall in love with.

This novella is short and sweet. Cody is not gay but he just might be for Sam.. After lusting after Sam, one day Cody sees that Sam has entered himself into a one night stand group and the type of guy sounds just like him. So Cody manipulates into being Sam's one night stand, that becomes much more than that.

Another great installment for the One Night Stand Series, this may be my new favorite. I have only read a handful of male/male romance books but if they are all like this, I can quickly see myself getting addicted. Great storyline, hot sex scenes, and a HEA!!!
This story was as usual two about two coworkers who secretly like each other, but don't know how to show it. So Cody arranges a blind one-night stand with Sam. Overall it was fine story, but to short for my liking and to HEA, it wasn't realistic.
This story was as sweet as it was hot, with Cody and Sam offering both molten sexual chemistry and touching moments of vulnerability. I wished the actual intercourse scene had been longer, but still, I really enjoyed!

I must agree with Chris on a pronoun confusion (where was the editor?) but the MC's were real likeable and the epilogue was sweet. I did not expect it to be anything more than a pure erotica, so 3 stars.
my first for this author, and it was a good one. I sometimes had to re-read who was doing what to whom, and I wish it were longer, but overall, very enjoyable!
I've never read a book like this before and decided to give it a shot based on other reviews. I gotta say I really liked it and was surprised how tender and romantic I found it. It was hot and sweet quick read!
I've read some of the other One Night Stand books, and this is along the similar lines. I did enjoy the epilogue, that was a nice, sweet extra.
Aw! I enjoyed this. Sweet, short, simple. What's not to like? Loved that blow job! Loved the characters, and the ending was very satisfying. A nice, feel-good read.
Sexy short about friends to lovers.
I had some trouble following who was who during some parts of the book.

Absolutely loved it sexy sweet and hot just the way M/m should be. Looking forward to the sequel.
Oh who doesn't love some manly male on male action! They were deliciously sexy together!
4.5 stars...
nopresisamente llueve pero hay un mini incendio es bueno el libro
This was a good romance story about two strong men. I liked both Cody and Sam as individuals and as a couple. The short story was not too heavy on the sex or angst. It just had a nice warm flow to it.
