Red Letter Nights

Red Letter Nights #1

by Alison Kent, Jeanie London, Karen Anders

Steamy invites for romantic holiday nights…

‘Tis the season to be delightfully naughty. Oui? At least, that’s the plan according to the sexy singles living tantalizingly close in New Orleans’ ultra-chic town house complex Court du Chaud. Why not write the ultimate secret red-hot love note to kick off the holidays?

All it takes is quickly slipping a sexy red-letter invitation under the door and suddenly three bold women—driven Claire, caring Chloe and blossoming Josie—are sighing with pleasure…and it has nothing to do with Chloe’s scrumptious homemade beignets. But everything to do with three sexy men.

No strings. No questions. Who knew delivering a Secret Santa challenge would lead to a sizzling gift that keeps on giving…and giving?

About the author

I often read of or hear about authors who knew they were meant to tell stories from the time they left the crib. Me? I didn't decide what I wanted to be when I grew up until I was thirty years old - and then sold my first book at thirty-four. Still, it was obvious that I always knew I was going places.

Like so many other authors, I was a voracious reader from day one, devouring everything from Nancy Drew to My Friend Flicka, which I remember sitting hovered over the heater vent in the kitchen floor to read while my father made his coffee.

I moved on to my mother's Phyllis Whitney, Dorothy Eden, and Mary Stewart gothics before discovering my first true romances written by Lucy Walker and set in the Australian Outback. And then, at last, when I was 18 I found 'The Flame and the Flower'. (My son almost spent his life as Brandon because of that, but I spared him and named him Casey instead!)

Why write romance? Because love stories have always been a major part of the books I've loved. Father Ralph and Meggie Cleary. (I did name my daughter Megan after reading The Thorn Birds! Do you see a trend here?) The aforementioned Brandon Birmingham and Heather Simmons. Wolf Mackenzie and Mary Potter.

Even more so, it's because I love writing romance heroes. The men who sweep both heroines and readers off their feet - not to mention their authors, too!

I've spent several years happily writing action adventure romance for Kensington Brava along with hot and sexy series romances for Harlequin Blaze. Now I'm thrilled to be a launch author for Vows.

Reviews

[Night Runner · Rating 3 out of 5]

Adding an additional hour and spreading the romance across a few months would have made this a solid 4 Stars listen for me. The story had plenty of scorching moments for a Novella yet the h did nothing but push... until the last 5 minutes and then love was professed. A few days and all pushing, then I love you and let's be together forever just didn't fit.

Whatever this book was about, I just didn't put my heart into it. I really didn't feel it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

in the final story, we meet josie. josie's childhood crush is back to pack up his grandmother's belongings after she dies. josie is willing to spend one night with him, not knowing that he is planning on changing his life around so he can be with her more.

all the story lines are the same. very predictable.

sempre comento com os hóspedes do meu amor pelos livros, e muitos deles me deixam coisas bacanas pra ler. no caso deste livro, uma hóspede horrorizada por eu ter dito que nunca tinha lido livros eróticos me deixou este exemplar. sinceramente: o horror! se isto é um livro erótico, estamos perdidos! sério -- primeiro, porque de erótico este livro não tem nada. são 3 histórias absolutamente iguais: mocinha linda e maravilhosa encontra um cara que é o máximo, além de ser seu vizinho. em menos de 48h ela o seduz, eles vão pra cama 2 ou 3 vezes, se apaixonam loucamente, dizem que se amam e querem passar a vida inteira juntos. são felizes para sempre. sério. histórias surreais com poucas pinceladas de sexo -- fiquei me perguntando se é disso que as mulheres gostam. *puts*

I usually like short stories like these but these were just not good.
