And voila, her distinct voice surfaced. Given her own diverse background, she writes stories that represent the world she grew up in.

She advocates the preservation of our natural and cultural riches for future generations. As mother of a child with ASD, she raises her pen, funds, and voice for awareness.
I actually do not mind short stories. They are my go to books when I am in the middle of trying to find something to read and are perfect for the type of mood I am in. There is something about reading a short story where I either love it and want more or I'm glad this is short, rather than a normal novel.
This book is that type of short story that is the perfect amount, there is no rush, it blends perfectly together. And it leaves me wanting more. I have to have more of this book. It has paranormal, m/m, m/f/m. Cannot get better than that. Do I want to go over the story line and all that with you? Not really because it literally is a really short story that I'd rather not tell you what happens besides there is some fucking hot ass sex up in this bitch.
Note to the author: I want more please!!! Thanks so much. xx
The 1 Night Stand series is such a great series of short novellas that work great as stand alones. The premise behind the series is that individuals approach Madame Eve for her match making expertise. Madame Eve not only fulfills the individuals requests but she has the a talent for giving them a little something extra, something in the match that they wanted, but never actually requested or expected to find.
Era is completing her fantasy desire to do list. She has always wanted to know the erotic touch of two passionate men and she wants them to be from a paranormal species. Madame Eve delivers this in the form of two sinfully sexy Phoenixes. Cinaed and Seneb are looking to spend their anniversary with a female. Once the three are together in one of the many Castillo Resorts Firestorm moves at a quick pace, the trio quickly gets into their sole reason for being there. The sex scenes are very erotic and Era, Cinaed and Seneb soon realize that there is more going on between them than just a one night stand. The trios individual likes and dislikes interlaced very well. They each had what was needed for this ménage to work to its fullest potential.
This is the first of the 1 Night Stand novellas that I have read with paranormal characters. I loved the Phoenixes. Their traits were interesting. I liked the reason behind how they were born and the types of lives that this leads them to lead.
I only have one complaint… It was too short. I want more of this trio. Mason did an excellent job of putting so much into so few pages. The meeting and coming together of this trio does not feel rushed. The connection is present and very believable. I’m amazed how so much content was put into these pages.
I’ve read this novella a few times since I first purchased it in 2019, but I’ve never gotten around to posting a review so here goes. I thought this was a good story and thought the chemistry between Master Explosive Ordnance Disposal Officer, Era Bennu and Phoenix mates Seneb Keita and Cinaed Bryce was off the charts. This is a quick read but that’s part of the course with it being from the 1 Night Stand universe. Madame Eve goes above and beyond to make sure that her clients needs are met. Era wanted a 1NS with two paranormal creatures before she leaves on a dangerous mission that she thinks will be her last. Seneb and Cinaed are looking for a 1NS with a women as a way to celebrate their anniversary. They had no idea that Era would also be the perfect and only women for them, since she will not only be reborn as a phoenix when she d*es just like like them and also their mate. I really wish this book would’ve been longer, even if it was just an epilogue as we don’t know if Era made it home from the mission as a human or d*ed and was reborn from the ashes a phoenix. I’d recommend the book, 1NS universe and author to everyone.
Master Explosive Ordnance Disposal Officer, Era Bennu wants to go on a one-night stand before she leaves for a dangerous mission, which she expects to be her last. She won't survive. Her request for the date, two paranormal creatures to fulfill her every fantasy.
Phoenix mates Seneb Keita and Cinaed Bryce are looking for one night with a woman, to celebrate their anniversary. They don't expect to find a woman who fits into their relationship perfectly, and is destined to spend the rest of her life with them.
The only problem, they have to convince her of that.
This story started a little different than the other 1Night Stand stories I've ready, but it worked just the same. This is one scorching hot read which left me wanting more from Mason and the phoenixes. If you enjoy the 1Night Stand stories, and/or paranormal romances, be sure to check out Firestorm.
Firestorm by a.c.Mason is just that a blazing inferno burning up the reader's five senses while infusing tenderness and powerful erotic connections between three individuals. Tomorrow, Era will be on a dangerous military mission however before leaving she has an arranged 1- Night Stand created by the famous Madame Eve. This one night stand burst into a lust-storm of scorching heat not only between the sheets but between three beautiful souls. It is the perfect, enjoyable quick read while waiting for a doctor's appointment or traveling on public transportation to and from work. I loved it!!
