One Naughty Night is a sultry little tale that will take you on a very steamy and action packed literary escape!! From the moment I started this one I was hooked, I just couldn't swipe the pages fast enough, it was intense, heartfelt, passionate, and had some scorching hot sexy times that had me feeling the heat behind every word!! Ms. Bell does not disappoint with this one! Highly recommend!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this title.
I loved this book! It was a perfect novella...sweet, saucy, sassy and completely satisfying. Loved the juxtaposition between the emotions, sexual escapades, and Allie's strength! Shelly Bell - Taryn better get her own story! Great read!
One Naughty Night by Shelly Bell might be a quick read but it packs quite the punch.
Allie is cancer survivor and she decides it’s time to live life to the fullest and creates two bucket lists. One list is for all the adventures she wants to have and the other list contains her sexual fantasies. First on the list is storm chasing. Good thing her best friend’s older brother has his own storm chasing business and can show her a good time.
To Drake, Allie is forbidden. She’s his sister’s friend and a client. He made a pact to never mix business with pleasure, but there is something about Allie that keeps drawing Drake to her. When Drake finds out about Allie’s bucket lists, all bets are off.
Loved the storm chasing scenes and the chemistry between Drake and Allie. Highly recommended!
One Naughty Night was short and sexy...it reminded me why I enjoy SBell's writing. The characters were engaging and the story was relatable...and she delivered an inherently readable story with a side of steam. *wink*
We've all at least contemplated it - a bucket list of things we want to do before we're no longer able to. In Allie's case, she created bucket lists - yes, two. When she was forced to consider the uncertainty of life far too early in her life, Allie created a "nice" bucket list and a "naughty" bucket list. What would you do if you decided life was to short not to take risks? Chase a tornado? Get naked with the hunky storm chaser who just happens to be your best friend's older brother whom you've been secretly crushing on for years? Um...yes!?! =)
I enjoyed how SBell brought Allie and Darke together. They each had their reasons for not risking their hearts but their connection and attraction was undeniable. The element of suspense created via storm chasing was exciting and felt realistic. And the sexy scenes were exactly that....oh so sexy.
One Naughty Night was a pleasure and even though its pages are few it was enough of a story that I'm satisfied. I do hope to see Allie and Drake again...maybe when we get Taryn and Jack's story?
This was a fun and sexy story that was the perfect quick read. Allison has had a rough year, first surviving cancer and then pneumonia and now with a clean bill of health she has made a couple bucket lists and she and her best friend are on a storm chasing trip with the best friend's brother who she has had a crush on. He has been starring as the fantasy in her naughty bucket list. Drake has been eyeing up Allie since the beginning of the trip but he and his partners have a no fraternization clause but on the last night they decide it is time to drop that and then when he finds Allie's naughty bucket list he devotes the night to granting all her bucket wishes. Will Allie freak when she finds out Drake wants more than a one night stand because they are going to be working together? Oh, this was so good!
Definitely recommend this and really want to know what is going to happen with Jack and Tarryn.
After triumphing over cancer and a bout of pneumonia six months ago, Allie Schwartz made two bucket lists: one with adventures, and one with sexual fantasies. Her vacation in Oklahoma will at least fulfil the first, and hopefully the second, because Drake Roberts features in those naughty dreams. He is also one of the owners of Blow Me Away Storm Chasing Tours. They had met briefly before, but since her vacations began, Allie has been trying to flirt with Drake, and failing epically, but she intends to make the last day count. What she doesn’t know is that Drake, has realised how much he likes her, so when she finally tells him, he is only too happy to oblige.
There is an art to writing great novellas, and Shelly Bell demonstrates, with ONE NAUGHTY NIGHT, that it is possible to present a whole story within the restrictions that this literary form offers. Ms. Bell doesn’t skimp on backstories; all the information needed is provided concisely and clearly. Allie and Drake came off as fully fleshed-out characters, and while the timeframe of a week was short, the romance was entirely credible because Allie and Drake had real conversations. I felt the connection, and the chemistry, which was not solely based on “electricity” and “shivers”, but on a real attraction based on human interaction; it didn’t come out of thin air. ONE NAUGHTY NIGHT is not filled with angst, and the conflict that arises is entirely believable. And what a lovely romance it is! Naturally, there is quite a bit of hanky panky, superbly written, and here again Shelly Bell shows us that even though one might prefer sex on the darker side of vanilla, it does not mean behaving like an egotistical and arrogant bully. Drake is caring and generous, respectful and kind-hearted, and precisely the type of man Allie deserved. Allie, who has gone through a lot, but she isn’t a frail damsel nor is she painted as superwoman; she is a normal person.
Anyone who has read Ms. Bell before knows that her prose is sumptuous yet unassuming, light and rich; and every line of dialogue sounds genuine. The storm chasing scenes are spectacular, the descriptions on how the storms affect all senses are so vivid, it was almost as good as being there. ONE NAUGHTY NIGHT might be on the shorter side when it comes to pages, but it has more substance than many full-length novels.

One Naughty Night is about being brave in the face of adversity. I enjoyed it. It was cute, sweet and naughty. I loved that it was a bit nerdy too but not to the point that it bogged down the story, it enhanced it and gave it authenticity. Bonus, it contained one of my fave tropes, brother's best friend. Another thing I loved about it was the glimpses we got of Taryn and Jack. I'm hoping their story gets told because I need to know whatever going on with them. I definitely recommend this book to do looking for a quick, enjoyable read.

Allie is a cancer survivor with a bucket list, well actually two bucket lists. One is her sexy to do list. That's the one Drake gets his hands on. Drake is the brother of her best friend Taryn. Allie and Taryn are on the last day of a storm chasers tour, lead by none other than Drake. Drake has managed to keep his hands off Allie for several days but that list is the opening he needs. Allie says she wants only one night. Can Drake convince her to take forever?
One Naughty Night is a cute, sexy novella with likable characters. It's not deep but it's still enjoyable. 3.75 stars.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
Shelly Bell presented us a short and fun novella with some heavy issues in the background.
The main couple was both cute and naughty and had their way with each other in the end. What sparked my interest on the side was the story of Tarryn & Jack, those two have plenty more to say in my opinion and I would love to read more about them.
This is a fun and sexy quick read. Allison has been through a lot the past year has plans to have some fun. Drake is her best’s friends brother and crush. He is more than willing to help her with the steamy side of her bucket list he is happy to help. Great chemistry and the story holds your interest throughout. I liked it!
“I understand you’re afraid. You created a bucket list of risks. Chasing tornadoes. Sky diving. Mountain climbing. But those are physical. It’s much harder to risk your heart. To fall in love.”
One Naughty Night by the talented and very awesome Shelly Bell was everything I expected plus so much more. From the very first page I was hooked and found myself furiously flipping the pages, desperate to know what happened between Drake and Allie.
Despite being a short story, this novella packed a punch and was deliciously naughty with scorching hot sexual chemistry. I loved all the characters and truly hope that Ms. Bell continues their stories in future works.
Well written with an engaging plot, One Naughty Night is one book that I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone who enjoys this genre.
This was a very short and awkward novella. There was no chemistry between the two characters, Allie and Drake, and they fell trap to some serious insta-love.
I received a copy from Goodread's First Reads in return for an honest review.
Her breath caught as she visualized a more pleasurable way for him to rock her world. Bad girl. The moment she’d waited for had arrived, and instead of enjoying it, she was working her way down the naughty list in her head.
“You mean by the tornado?"
“Yeah,” he said, his dangerous gaze returning to her mouth, “but if you need help rocking anything else, feel free to let me know.”
Great book a little steamy but not over the edge. Would loved for it to have been longer but it is a novella so nothing you can do about that. The characters feel and sound real, nice to read romance set in the present that I can see my self actually trying to get my hubby to help me recreate some of the scenes.
I was disappointed by this. I saw it advertised somewhere and looked at it several times before noticing it on sale and buying it. The heroine is a cancer survivor, so I thought there might be some substance to it, despite how short it is. I was kind of wrong. They just seemed like two strangers hooking up and then.... insta-love.
This book is something to tide us Shelly Bell Fans over while she finishes one of her books.
This book has actually been published on 2014 titled Tornado Allie. Back then, I have not yet discovered my love for reading books...... Fast forward to the years where I am now obsessed with books, much to my disappointment, when I tried to purchase this book, it was not longer available. So imagine my glee when Shelly Bell announced that she will release it again, this time with a different title.
Story is about Allie, a cancer survivor, who has what we call a bucket list but Allie's is called a naughty list instead. I love her list! I think it's a list everyone wants to do. This novella is short, sweet, HOT, blow off steam off the charts. One Naughty night is not enough for me. I want more!
Thank you Shelly for releasing this again. I received an ARC of the book and voluntarily chose to leave a review.
One Naughty Night is a contemporary romance by Shelly Bell. This is a very short read, perfect for those with limited reading time. Ms. Bell has provided readers with a well-written book loaded with fantastic characters. Allie is cancer free and starting to work on her bucket list. Both of them. Allie and her best friend sign up for a storm-chasing tour. Drake is Allie's best friend's brother and part owner of the tour company. Drake and Allie's story is packed with drama, humor, action and yes, you guessed it, a naughty night. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from Shelly Bell soon. One Naughty Night is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger. Ms. Bell did deliver a zinger at the end. Hopefully, Taryn will get her story too.
I won this book as a Goodreads giveaway and was intrigued by the cover and couldn't wait to start reading it. Unfortunately it was a huge let down.
First of all this book was probably thee most clique romance novels I've ever read. Girl meets boy. Boy falls in love but girl is too scared to commit. She ends up realizing what she's got and runs to him with open arms. They live happily ever after.
Did I mention that this book is a short read? The entire story line is based on their events in 24 hours.
This is pretty good. It's short and to the point yet with some brave and adventurous moments. Very entertaining and sexy as the two deal with their feelings and struggle to keep the one naughty night terms.
