About the author

Jess Michaels is a USA Today Bestselling Author who likes geeky stuff like Star Wars, playing video games (she ships herself with Dragon Age’s Iron Bull FOREVER), Bob’s Burgers and collecting POPs! She also drinks a LOT of Diet Coke. Probably an unhealthy amount, but it’s her only vice. She will eat (almost) anything coconut, truly anything cheesy and nothing spicy (yes, she is a walking stereotype when it comes to that). She likes cats, her dog Elton and people who care about the welfare of their fellow humans.

Although she started out traditionally published by Avon/HarperCollins, Pocket, Hachette and Samhain Publishing, in 2015 she went fully indie and has never looked back! She is lucky enough to be married to her favorite person in the world and live tucked between the ocean and the mountains in Oregon.

When she’s not watching Our Flag Means Death or trying out all the new flavors of Greek yogurt, she writes historical romances with smoking hot heroes and sassy heroines who do anything but wait to get what they want.

This was a "sex with a stranger" story, even though Mia and Aidan knew each other. I mean, they were acquainted with each other the way ton people used to be, but that was about it. When Mia "stumbled into the wrong room" and Aidan started to ravish her, he didn't recognize her and she didn't say a word. Sorry, but that didn't work for me.

Here's hoping that one day Ms. Michaels turns this rendezvous into a full length tale.

I would have liked a longer version. Plus, what kind of consummate rake doesn't withdraw?!

[Lynde Shaw · Rating 3 out of 5]

The buildup to the sexual meeting between Mia and Aiden was the entire book and then it just ended, even though I understand this was a "short". It was just too short. While erotic and sexy, I was disappointed and felt like Ms. Michaels could have made an actual book out of the "hook up" that happened.

This one was pretty steamy. If you are looking for romance you need to look for a different book. If you want to 'skip to the good stuff' then this one might be worth a try.
