This was a good book but I was disappointed that the hero had slept with a lot of women. It bothered the heroine as well and she was considering whether she wanted to be involved with a man who had slept around so much. I don't blame her. I felt the same way.

Even though I enjoyed it the hero and heroine spent way too much time apart which left me feeling as though we missed out on something...a developing relationship.

This is the third book in The Hot Latin Docs series and wow what another fabulous story about the Valentino Brothers this is Rafael's story or Rafe as he is known to everyone and time for him to have his HEA with the wonderful Dr Cassandra Larrobee Cassie and it is sure to keep you turning the pages.

Rafe has been through a lot in his life at the age of eighteen losing his parents and with his twin brother Dante having to make a decision that was so hard and then caring for his younger brothers hence Rafe has a hard time getting close to people because he is afraid to lose them, but when he meets the gorgeous Cassie at a bar in Miami on a night that should be a one night stand this night turns into a lot more sparks fly and feelings grow.

Cassie too has been through a lot as a child herself and has issues with getting close and trusting as well and when she discovers that her fiancé is cheating on her well she does something that she would never do and has a one night stand that in the end leads to a lot more and also the worry of a deadly virus that brings her and Rafe back together in a very tense and sensual meeting that has desire sparking again and they cannot ignore it.

This is truly a passionate and moving story that brings two beautiful people together after what should have been a no strings one night stand but with consequences and worry and finally them opening up this one will have you smiling MS Beckett has bought out the love and emotion that will surely have you smiling and sighing, I highly recommend this story for anyone who loves a good romance with a heartfelt story.

Not sure I've read any stories by Tina Beckett in the past, but I can promise you this will not be the last! Rafael's One Night Bombshell is sensational! I adore the brothers and I love how each book has slowly revealed just enough to tug on the curiosity strings.

Rafael's one night stand has a lifetime consequence and the story surrounding Rafael, his past, his present and his future was one I couldn't put down. I can't add anymore than what has already been written except to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the emotional ride it too me on.

Recommended to ALL!

4 1/2 STARS!

A sexy yet sweet continuation of the Hot Latin Docs series! I am really enjoying this family of brothers and seeing them continue to heal from past heartache and find their way into a world of love and bright futures!

Neonatologist Cassandra Larrobee isn't a risk taker, but on the night she had her heartbroken by an ex, she decided to be wild for once in her life and seek the arms of comfort that she needed. One night ... that's all it was going to be ... until she ran across him again ... and discovered the lasting token of their passion that she was left with.

Epidemiologist Rafael Valentino spends his time living life for today with no thoughts of happily ever after. He has past heartache and painful decisions weighing him down, and is happy to live life in the background where nothing ever falls on him again.

When Cassie & Rafe are called to work together on a medical scare, they can't deny the attraction is still there. As they spend more time together, it only grows stronger ... and when they discover she's having a baby, will it be the nudge he needs to open himself up to love and forever or will he decide he can't commit to being a Daddy?

Cassie goes to a bar in Miami right after she caught her fiance having sex with another woman. She sits next to a hot guy at the bar. The bartender knows him and calls him Rafe. Soon she realizes that a one night stand is on the table and she agrees and gives him a fake name. Cassie is a neonatal doctor and never expects to see him again. Rafe is thinking the same thing. As an epidemiologist, Rafe also investigates for the CDC. Cassie reports that she has just seen her third case of symptoms from women who were possibly exposed to the zika virus as they entered the U.S. from south American countries where the virus was active. When the hospital administrator calls a meeting to have a CDC rep go over their findings there sits his one night stand that he has not been able to erase from his mind.

The Hot Latin Docs series should be read by all romance fans! Rafael’s One Night Seduction, Tina Beckett’s installation in this sexy new series doesn’t disappoint. The story captures your attention from page one. The turmoil and the growth of the main characters will melt your heart and have you cheering for their happiness. Cassandra’s heart is still fractured after a devastating breakup. But when she runs into Rafael Valentino, she cannot help but feel like turning over a fresh new page in her life. Meanwhile, Rafael’s life hasn’t been a walk in the park either, but there was something indescribable about being around Cassie. She lit up his life and one night they get close—riding the wave of their passion together—except the storm to follow will test their strength and their attraction towards each other!

Review Posted at HarlequinJunkie.com

Finding out her boyfriend is a liar and a cheat, Cassie Larrobee walks into a bar and does the most reckless thing she’s ever done before. Propositioning the gorgeous Rafael Valentino isn’t hard, especially when he’s looking for someone to take away his own pain. However, their one-night stand leads to an unexpected pregnancy. Can Cassie convince Rafe that his past doesn’t define him, so they can have a chance at happy ever after? Read More

This is third book in the Hot Latin Docs about the Valentino brothers and we now have Rafael's story.  Rafe does not want to get close to anyone after the difficult life he had when he had to raise his younger brothers due to the death of his parents.  Sounds like a great idea and he is pretty good I sticking to it until Cassandra Larrobee walks into his life.  Cassandra also has heartache she has to deal with and is determined to keep to herself to avoid hurt.  Then there is a medical scare and the two are put together to help and as the saying goes the best laid plans fall apart.  Cassie gets pregnant and what happens next is a lovely story that Ms. Beckett is known for writing.  Lovely romance and a good book to just curl up with and enjoy.

Rafael's One Night Bombshell (Hot Latin Docs #3) by Tina Beckett
These Valentino boys are sultry, sexy, bachelor brothers and all doctors. This story is about Rafael.
Cassandra Larrobee takes a chance to live for a moment. She discovered that her fiancée has cheated on her and she does something that she would never otherwise do. She is a Doctor.
Cassie slips off her engagement ring and she walks over and sits next to Rafe. She tells the bar owner she would have what he is having, meaning what Rafe is drinking. Ron the bartender is not sure but he makes her drink.
They have sparks that fly between them and they decide to have one night stand and were never thinking that there would be more from it than only one night.
They do come together again when they end up working on the Zika virus scare. You will not want to put the book down till you finish it. This story line with the Zika virus is so real since the news has been talking about the virus too. So you feel as though this story has just happened recently.
As you learn that Rafe and his brother lost their parents, and almost lost a brother Rafe finds it hard to get close to anyone since he feels he might lose them too.
MS Beckett deserves more than 5 stars for the story she tells, one of which is a heartfelt romantic one.

Rafael’s One Night Bombshell by Tina Beckett is part of the Hot Latin Docs quartet where the Valentino brothers find happiness after living through a tragedy. When he was 18, Rafe had to make a horrific decision to save his brother’s life. He has been struggling to deal with it ever since. Now Rafe pushes everybody away to keep his heart safe. Except, pushing Dr Cassandra Larrobee away is proving to be impossible.

Rafe and Cassie had a one night stand after Cassie found out that her ex-fiancé was cheating on her. They spent an incredible “no-strings” night together and didn’t expect to see each other again. However, when a Zika virus scare brings them together in their medical capacity, they just can’t resist each other.

I loved this book and couldn’t put it down until it was finished. The story draws you in from page one. It flows easily, it is passionate, entertaining and heart-warming. I recommend this book to any romance lover who enjoys a beautiful story with a happy ending.
