Just One Night, Part 3

Rate this book
NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR, ELLE CASEY, brings readers PART 3 in the 6-part contemporary romance serial novel, JUST ONE NIGHT.

[This book is PART 3. Readers should begin by reading PARTS 1 and 2 first.]

Jennifer's idea of relaxing is a spa day with her best friend, but even when she's slathered in avocado and wearing cucumber glasses, there's no escaping the fact that she cannot get memories of a certain guy and a certain night (or two) out of her head. When her ex shows up out of the blue to throw a wrench in her plans, she has to decide once and for all how far she's willing to go to be the successful businesswoman she wants to be. William is willing to do just about anything to get rid of the albatross hanging around his neck, even if it means having to learn way more about his assistant than he ever wanted to know. When he gets a surprise phone call with an offer of a proposal, he can hardly say no ... even though it means inviting complications he's dedicated his life to avoiding.

This ebook is Part 3 of the contemporary romance serial novel, JUST ONE NIGHT, approximately 25,000 words or 105 paper pages long. The story continues with Parts 4-6.

Content warning: Due to sexy situations and content, this book is definitely not appropriate for younger readers. 

A note from Elle about this series: Hello readers! I had such a great time writing this serial. Like you, I had no idea what was going to happen from one part to the next. I didn't even know how many parts there would be. It was great having all the feedback from my readers as each part was released; it definitely influenced the end result. Edward's story, JUST ONE WEEK, is coming soon in 2016. Add it to your Goodreads shelf today!

Just One Night, Part 3 is the third book in the serial novella series, Just One Night by Elle Casey. I am pretty much freaking out by now. So much has happened. It’s crazy how much this author fits in to these little novellas.

The evil Ingrid wants William and will do whatever it takes to get him. Even blackmail. What would a story be without an evil villain, right? But that doesn’t keep me from hating this woman.

“Her voice is like a poison gas, filling up the air around us.”

William and Jennifer were again shortchanged in the previous book on their time together. Now, both of them are terribly missing the other. William still doesn’t know Jennifer’s last name or any way to get to her. Jennifer is trying to convince herself that her just one night arrangement of her own choosing is just that, except that she got two nights out of it. But now it’s over and done.

Jennifer, though, is dealt another tough blow when she comes face to face with her ex-boyfriend. You know…the one that she wasted eight years of her life on. The one that cheated on her with a MUCH younger woman. When they broke up, Jennifer was forced to completely change her life. And now that it seems like she might have to interact with him again, she is forced to make some pretty big decisions.

Hugh Grant

I want to repeat something I said in the previous review for book two. I am totally picturing Hugh Grant in my head through these books. He has the same dry wit that William has. So whenever it is William’s turn to speak, Hugh Grant’s face is in my head saying the words.

red haired secretary:

We get to know William’s office assistant a little better in this book, Miss Meechum. I am in love with this woman. Her and her crazy frizzy red hair and her undisclosed facts she left off her resume. She is pure gold.

William and Jennifer are again brought together in the most unlikely of ways and again, the heat is practically jumping off the pages. When they do get together, oh my gosh, it’s crazy and wild and I love it. If they ever happen to have sex in a traditional bedroom with a bed, they won’t know how to act!

sex at the office:

I can’t wait to start part four of this series to see what’s next in store for Jennifer and William. I am absolutely in love with this series.

FOUR I CAN'T RESIST YOU STARS.

"I want her to feel the way I do, so neither of us ever wants to leave again."

description

I love Elle Casey and her witty, funny, non-stop addictive serial romance. 'Just one night' has me wrapped up in all it's British-American goodness and the only negative thing I have to say is that I am left hanging for the next instalment. Whatever this author touches is pure writing gold and this part three of her ongoing saga is no exception. I have fallen in love with this goofy, sexy romance and I'm happy to carry on reading about this delicious attraction between the feisty but vulnerable American, Jennifer and the adorably British William. In this instalment we see more twists and turns as Jennifer and William are still navigating getting past 'just one night' and of course we have the evil Ingrid to content with as well as the hilariously loveable best friend, Mia and the completely crazy but lovely assistant to William, Miss Meechum. These short releases by Casey are a triumph for my reading time, each part has enough development and excitement to keep things turning and the 'will they? won't they?' theme is perfect for my reading tastes. There is not much more to say other than I'm fully on board with this ongoing love story and I'm hoping beyond all hope that I get the ending that my romance addict book soul craves until then I'm going to sit back and enjoy the Elle Casey writing ride. If you haven't yet started this adorable serial romance series and you love light hearted, sexy and fun stories then you don't want to miss out on joining the party. Go grab it readers, William Stratford is waiting. Enjoy, kisses.

4--Conference Room Sex is HOT--Stars!

Pleasantly surprised with the direction this one went. Nothing too bad happened with Ingrid and William...



Ingrid, I still think



Things pick up after the bar incident. William is trying to figure a way out of the mess with Ingrid and keep his reputation in tact in the process.

William gets help from an unlikely source....



....Miss Meechum, who I am liking more and more everyday.

Jennifer finds chaos in her work life which brings her and William back together.

Holy Moly Guacamole....that conference room scene



This book felt a bit more transitional to me....moving the story along but I still loved it and I can't wait to see what's to come.

Mia remains one of my favorite characters and I would love a book about her and what happened in her past.

"You did it in the hallway of the club? Like, right out there in the open in public?
"Let go of my arm you freak. Yes. We did it in public."
"Oh...my god....you are such a ho-bag."
"I know."
"You're not sorry, are you?"
"Nope. Not at all. It was amazing."

This is book three in the Just One Night series and I am happy to report that I have enjoyed it just as much as I did books 1 & 2 if not a bit more! :)

I love how Elle Casey adds her witty touch to each book along with some pretty sexy moments. William is just as sexy as ever and Jennifer is becoming rather feisty! I love the two of them when they get together.

In book three not only are Jennifer and William dealing with the mess that Ingrid has caused, someone from Jennifer’s past throws her a bit of a curveball. With both of their lives in chaos they need to figure out what to do next. And what better way to do that than together. The sexual chemistry between these two continues to heat up and I hope these two get a HEA!

What is great about this series is that in addition to the two main characters we have two side characters that are amazing too. Miss Meechum who is William’s assistant is quirky, loveable and crazy. And Jennifer’s best friend Mia is funny and loveable too. As we get to know these two a bit more I can tell that some more crazy stuff is coming.

These short installments are great. I love how the characters and the story are progressing. Each installment is fresh with new twists and turns that have you needing the next one. I’m not sure what is next for these two and all the others but I will be anxiously awaiting book 4!

And Mrs. Casey has done it again. Bravo! As the previous ones this "one night" has been nothing but funny, witty, sexy smexy and well, did I mention funny? We have to wait a little for this sexy time as the story goes though, but when it finally arrives, BAM!!!
One. Hot. Office. Conference Room. Sex. Scene.



What I like (besides William of course) the most is the fact that aside from main characters Elle Casey has created amazing additional ones. And still I want Mia to be my BFF and I laughed my pants off at Miss Meechum.



What else can I say?
Oh, bollocks. This was

4 STARS!

Just One Night Part 3 was the continuation of William and Jennifer's story. I just want them to wind up together! Oh and for him to find out her last name!!

idea photo tumblr_mwofwt5pzJ1rw6jryo1_400_zps2cceef2d.gif

In this episode/serial/novella/whatever you want to call it, William is still trying to handle Ingrid the blackmailing cunt.

bitch photo tumblr_m67d8z0jJy1ql5yr7o1_400_zps60a819cc.gif

Unfortunately he isn't able to pawn her off on his father at Sunday brunch.



But she has another thing coming if she thinks she can get William away from Jennifer.

Jennifer now is in the hunt for a new job thanks to a lovely douchebag named Hank.

fucker photo tumblr_mgvxfyrSy71qicr06o2_500_zps655c5eb1.gif

Will she hit up William for a job or try to suck it up and figure out a different option?



Duh you know the answer.....And man was that interview scene smokin!

 photo 24f75a5d-be3c-4fb6-bd0e-82fce32aa846_zpscc8adb18.jpg

I mean H-O-T!



And Miss Meechum! You are turning into a little badass! I knew I liked you! You are just so awkward and awesome too. I knew Mr. Stratford kept you around for a reason!



In my opinion this one was a bit of a filler but still enjoyable to read.

Very happy with the direction this story went in. I was thrilled that William isn’t the typical guy who doesn’t share with anyone what’s going.

Shout out to my favorite secretary Miss Meechum…

"She's blackmailing you for sex?" Now you've got it. Bravo." WOW. She's got balls. And she must think you're like...Magic Mike or something."

Looking forward to more of William and Jennifer!

This serial keeps getting better and better!! Elle Casey is making me LMAO with the witty inner dialogue of William & Jennifer, along with the hilarious best friend of Jen's, Mia. I love William's clumsy assistant Ms Meechum who we got to learn a little bit more about in this section. The sex between William & Jennifer is wildly hot............

The hotness keeps on rolling and rolling! Loved this one. William, the sexy Brit is back in full effect. He's so incredible, I'm loving him and was jumping up and down over his little epiphany at the end, just what I was waiting for!
Jennifer is great too, loved how she stood up for herself in front of her co-workers and didn't bow down to her boss's restructuring. That took guts and I admire her for it. I'm really liking Mia this time around and look forward to her meeting someone, maybe finding out some of her secrets.

Ms. Meechum was a riot! So loyal and resourceful, I'm glad William has her on his side. Ingrid is a skank and deserves some comeuppance! The conference room scene was HOT DAMN. WOW. I'm loving Jennifer and William together and only hope they find love with each other. This is a great series so far and I can't wait for number 4!!

FIVE SCORCHING HOT CONF ROOM SEX STARS!!!!


I simply can't get enough of this series!!!
Each book has me panting for more!
I'm unable to put these down.
So deliciously SEXY and at times, beyond hysterically funny!!


 photo imagejpg1_zps51dbe639.jpg


William is having to deal with the viper, Ingrid, who is blackmailing him with a video she has in her possession.
Miss Meechum, his assistant, might just be able to get him out of this mess.
The interactions between these two always have me howling with laughter!!!


Jennifer finds herself in need of a new job and Mia suggests she go to William for help.


Thank God Jennifer swallows her fears and reaches out to William.
Whenever these two meet up, their crazy attraction for each other is too much for either of them to fight and we get some of the most AMAZINGLY HOT SEX scenes EVER!!!!
Conference room sex anyone???!!!!!


I loved how William takes matters into his own hands and fesses up to his growing feelings!!!



When she looks up at me with a mixture of innocence and hope and desire and worry in her eyes, I am done for. Just a simple sentence, a few words strung together that to the casual listener would mean nothing, but to me, mean ever so much more. It is with those words that she slays me. She lays me bare, and so I open my mouth to tell her exactly how I feel about her, about us, and about the future I hope she might consider sharing a bit of with me.



I'm so addicted to this series!!!
Ladies, you must read this!!
It's so very very GOOD!!!

Title: Just One Night (Just on Night #3)
Series: Yes
Author: Elle Casey
Release Date: April 4th, 2014
Rating: 5 stars
Cliffhanger:. Yes





I'm tempted to remind her that I've had my tongue between her thighs so there's no need for formality, but instead, I say, "Please... Call me William."

I was nervousness to start this after where the second left off. On that note, shout out to my girl, Miss Meechum- crazy redhead has some skills.

This series just keeps getting better and better, there was more character back story and development as well as insight into supporting characters.



Jennifer once referred to William was described as "All business and a little bit caveman" I'm adding funny, sexy and refined to the list.

Bring on part 4.

"I kind of did something naughty and then he kind of did something naughty and then we just tried to get a drink after and everything fell apart"


The continuing story of William and Jennifer and their not so much Just One Night..

With alternating POV's, we are allowed snippets of each other's psyche, and Williams are very entertaining! His endearing, yet commanding conversations with his assistant, the mad Miss Meechum, are chucklesome.

Roll on part 4..how many more, I wonder?

4.5 Miss Meechum Stars!

Part 3 picks up the day after Part 2 ends. William is being forced to date the evil bitch Ingrid. Jennifer is at spa day with Mia and is disappointed over the possibility of never seeing William again.

There are some twists and turns, and I hate to give away any spoilers, but must say I am loving this series. William and Jen are great, and I love, love Miss Meechum. Some of the scenes had me laughing out loud.

This is a fun, sexy read and I recommend it for everyone!!

Jennifer was already down in the dumps when William slipped through her fingers yet again, but things go from bad to worse when her ex reappears and she is left having to make a hard choice. A choice that leads to another proposition for a particular Brit, but this time it's all business... or is it?

William is not sure what can be done to rid himself of the problem that seems to have attached itself to him. Help comes in the unlikeliness of places when his ditsy assistant offers her help. Now that one problem has a solution in the works, there is just the small issue of the woman he can't get out of his head. The woman that slipped away yet again and the same one that he can't stop thinking about.

Screenshot_6

In the third part to the series, we got a bit more interaction with a few characters that had been more background noise before. We also get to see stronger side to Jennifer that was nice to see come out, she was getting a little too 'Debbie-downer' there for a while. But Elle Casey kept the pace that she set with the first book and continues steadily with the third one. I am excited to see where this is going to end up. The only downside is that they are short. The sex scenes are written perfectly, a bit of dirty talk that at first seemed like it would be out of place, but it works - but due to the length of the book itself the sex is limited so that the story can be told. Usually I like my story to outweigh the sex, but her scenes are so friggin' good that I just want more.

I can't wait just the few weeks for the fourth part of this story!

It was pretty funny to read the irritation he feeling because of Ingrid. He is forced to take her to lunch with his father and his brother as she is blackmailing him.
He was so messed up that he had to talk to his brother about it but doesn't end up his brother helping him. So he didn't find any solution to his problem and addition to that he fought with his brother.
It was pretty cool to read how much he and his assistant relationship changed and evolved. And he finally convinced Jennifer to date him but she ran away again-this time because of freaking Ingrid.
Jennifer just need a reason to run away and she just can't just think from her mind or make her own decision but I understand She is just scared as hell and thinks everyone will be like her asshole ex boyfriend.
Let see what happens in next book.

I'm on an Elle Casey reading kick cause she makes me laugh!

This is Part 3 of however many (heard EC is not sure yet) of the Just One Night serial romance. It's taken on a really interesting character development. Loving the new twisty character of William's secretary. How she goes from goofy and klutzy to "oh I have a secret talent of hacking" is pretty funny. I'm not sure about the whole Ingrid "I want William so I'll blackmail him to be with me" scenario but we're all really here for the chemistry anyways and William and Jennifer's chemistry is still HAWT!

Looking forward to seeing just what lengths they'll go to go beyond "Just One Night"!

I've gotta say, Ms. Meechum steals this chapter. This is funniest of the series, from Williams tortured brunch to all of Ms. Meechum's unfortunate clumsy happenings and her shenanigans. I think Ingrid is the perfect level of evil, I look forward to her getting what she's due. The conference room was hot and a great place to end, definitely a high note.

I like William's internal monologues. In particular, which is directed against Ingrid.

“Come on then, Cupid, strike your arrow straight into her dark heart. I know it’s a small target, but you’ve got the skills. I believe in you, lad.” William

And I Love Rachel. She is so funny.

I need the next part of the series.

Funny and intelligent

I've read the whole series and enjoyed it very much. I would have liked a deeper description of the characters as it was difficult to imagine what they were like. Lots of funny bits, especially from William.
