“Eight inches.
Julia longed for eight inches.
Or really, eight inches and a brain.
Was that so much for a woman to want?”

FIRST NIGHT was a short sexy-time novella. While in town for a business trip entertainment lawyer, Clay, gets a tip to check out a certain bar because of the smokin' hot bartender. Julia, lives up to her description and invites Clay to stay after she closes the bar. Once the bar closes my kindle heated up with their one night of adult fun.
I picked up this novella for free from amazon.com. Check it out if you are interested in this series.

4 “holy heavenly fiesta of the eyes” Stars!!!
First Night is a really short novella and the first part of Julia and Clay’s story. It is a promising start of the series. The writing style is great, the characters are likeable and the story sounds good.
“Because he knew exactly what he wanted. Her.”
Julia Bell needs a break from her problems. She wants to meet a guy that will meet her expectorations for a ‘real man’ (like what kind of drink he needs to order, etc.). And this happens when the se ...more

Handcuffs...Purple Snow Globe...Lust….And one hot passionate night in San Francisco! Wow…Ms. Blakely sure knows how to tease her readers with this steaming novella!! It was short, sexy and had me yearning for more of Clay and Julia. If First Night was a taste of what’s to come in Night after Night, then holy hotness!!! I can’t wait to find out what’s in store for Clay and Julia. Bring on the dirty talk, hot sex, and handcuffs!

3.5 - Purple Snow Globe Stars!
Julia Bell meets a lot of men in her work as a bartender, unfortunately very few of them meet her requirements when it comes to what she wants outside of the bar, and in her bed...
Eight inches and a brain!
For starters, and if she's making you a cocktail, keep on walking buster!
She liked her men to be men. No manscapes need apply.
Clay Nichols likes his women feisty, flirty and full of confidence, sadly he hasn't met any like that for quite some time. At a lose end ...more

5 Short & Sexy Stars
How does the saying go, “Short & Sweet” well I assure you while this story is short, the word sweet is not the word I would use; try Scorching Hot, Fire Alarm Steamy, Scandalicously Chemistry Crackling, Hilariously Sexy…..the adjectives could go on and on! I love Lauren Blakely’s books and novellas but now she has me hooked on her short story; there is nothing that this writer can’t rock!

First Night is a tantalizing tease that will leave you panting for more. Clay is a sexy smart mouthed attorney and he has eyes set on a sassy and sensual bartender. Julia is looking for a man with a nice package that can hold his own in a conversation. A few smoldering looks and you can only guess where this is headed...

"Julia," he said, and this time his voice was intense, serious. "I had an amazing time with you. I know this sounds crazy since we live on opposite coasts, but I need to see you again. I'm going to call you."
This book was totally PORNY.
Not a complaint, just a fact ;) ...more

A meeting between Clay, the entertainment lawyer we met in Playing With Her Heart, and Julia, Mckenna's Sister from Trophy Husband when Clay is in town for business.
First Night!!!!!! I want more of the hot piece of ass that is Clay. Man alive that was HOT! I love his dirty filthy mouth. And yes, we have got more! Not one, but two novels to follow!
Julia & Clay are evenly matched, Julia the feisty bartender with the red hair, going after what she wants and taking it! ...more

I thought this was the perfect introduction to the Seductive Nights series. I love Clay and Julia's first meeting, it was flirty and fun! They have an instant connection and electric chemistry.
This was a well rounded novella that really gave me a good idea about who Julia and Clay are. There are brief hints about their past that make me extremely intrigued and I definitely want to know more.

I give this a 4 1/2 star. Julia is a bartender with a lot of past baggage. Clay is a hot Dominate man living in New York visiting San Francisco. He goes to the bar where Julia works, Julia’s sister sent him to meet her sister. This book offers hot steamy sexy and a strong sexy alpha man that makes you want him to dominate you. First favorite comment was by Clay in the Bar:
“You listen to me, I’ll make you writhe and moan.”

★★★ ! (Seductive night #0.5) Hot bartender seduces customer.
I fucking loved this!
Parden the swearing but I felt that my reaction for this book required it. I just can't get over how much I loved it. One kick ass heroine and one super sexy, hot, whatever hero.
One night of passion.
Fireworks, the whole szzzebang!!! Luckily, this is in two parts bc i really NEDD a sequel to FIRST NiGHT!!! Like really need it. Cus it has been a long time a book (novella) has captivated me like this. The genre ...more
HOLY HOTDOGS BATMAN!
That was one epic fucking novella...
The goldilocks effect.
The right amount of backstory without giving too much.
The right amount of chemistry.
The right amount of talking
The right amount of secrets and hints to make me intrigued.
AND
The right amount of hot, sweaty, dirty,, no holds barred sex!
Seriously.. I need more Clay and Julia! NOW ...more
Oh, the dirty talk in this was dreadful.
I started this because I knew I had to meet Clay for a book in a different series.
I met Clay.
I think I am good without reading the rest.
Maybe someday I'll revisit. ...more

Another quick read. Tells the story of the beginning of the relationship in Seductive Nights #1
Short. Sharp. Shagging. Smuttertainment.
Not much story, but then it is only an intro. Decided on 4 Stars on Smuttertainment value.
Hoping the first book proper will give us more A to B and a little character development.
