Us for the Night
A Second Chance, Brother’s Best Friend, Forbidden Office Romance
I couldn’t stand him. And somehow, we’d ended up accidently married.
Infuriating. That’s the best way to describe Alex Fields. I secretly married my brother’s best friend one drunken night in Vegas, but he left me in the lurch. Sure, he’s attractive but he has that thing where he only sleeps with a woman once—we didn’t even get that far—so I ran away. Six years later, all I want is to try to and forget him… except we’ve just been assigned to work on the same project at Be True magazine.
Rage. So much fury burns behind Sotiny Bryer’s beautiful, intelligent eyes. Marrying her was a mistake, but I can’t help craving her. Working with her is torture—the proximity killing us both. I’m a playboy. She’s a virgin. Yet, we can’t seem to stay away from each other. And if I touch her, I break my promise to her brother.

Alex & Sotiny ... hot, sexy, second chance romance
He's the man she's always wanted
She's the woman who was off limits
US FOR THE NIGHT is an emotional, second chance romance from Kia Carrington-Russell, book #2 in the New York Nights series. Told in both current day and flashbacks. It is a relationship from childhood to present day, revealing how it evolves and dissolves. It is heartbreaking, amusing, and entertaining.
Sotiny Bryer's childhood was not pleasant, she was the daughter her mother never wanted, and as a result suffered numerous years of abuse. A death in her family makes the situation worse. Sotiny hides herself from others, no one sees her true self or her emotions ... no one except Alex Fields, her brother's best friend. Sotiny wants Alex in ways she shouldn't. Witnessing the abuse Sotiny receives, Alex takes it upon himself to be her protector, but it's more than that, and he knows she's off limits. After an argument and a fight, the two don't see each other for several years, in Vegas of all places. One thing leads to another, and wedding rings are involved. Heartache and anger ensue when Sotiny realizes her mistake and runs away.
Six years goes by and Alex and Sotiny find themselves working for the same company. He's still holding onto anger and she's trying hard to forget him. Marriage may have been a mistake for them, yet the lust and desire between them still exists. I adored both Alex and Sotiny. He was not shy in letting her know that he still wanted her. His words and actions had me swooning and sighing all over, he captured my heart. Sotiny, understandably, had built huge walls around her heart for protection, she feared being rejected again, of not being enough. Working together was agony for both, but it also forces them to face their desires.
US FOR THE NIGHT was both heart shattering and uplifting. Alex was perfect with Sotiny, giving her the love, tenderness, and confidence, she always needed. Don't get me wrong, there were some extremely hot and spicy moments that you won't want to miss. I loved everything about Alex and Sotiny's story, it was captivating.
Next up is Stranded for the Night featuring Cassidy and Eric.
P.S. Don't forget to download the free Bonus Chapter featuring Alex and Sotiny ... romance at its best.

I was so happy reading the book.
The Chemistry between Sotiny and Alex got me hooked!
It is a second chance Romance with an accidental marriage. She is a uptight, successful virgin, he easygoing playboy.
If you are looking for a secret Romance with a Hate-Love relationship this might just be the book for you.
Both are polar opposites with a joint past and workplace. How are they going to overcome the obstacles and what happened in Vegas?
It is the second book from the New York Night Series. ✨
Light the candles, grab a drink and enjoy your nights in the city.

Sotiny and Alex's story was a fun one! They knew each other many years ago, and found themselves working together, sniping at each other daily. Until one day it all changes.
This was an easy read. I liked the flashbacks from the past, highlighting the history between these two. There were some emotional moments, and some fun ones, but that history really made the story for me.
It was great to see Damon and Clover again, though I'm curious about Hayden's story. I'd like to know more.
An enjoyable read!
