Review

I have no idea why I insist on reading these novellas because it’s always leaving me hungry for more. I guess that is the whole point of the amazing 1,001 Dark Nights books, to introduce us to a series to fall in love with.

Novellas are extremely tough to write because authors need to cover all the bases in a limited amount of pages/words. I thoroughly enjoyed this novella, but I’ll be honest and say I have not read the other Wilder brother’s story yet. I didn’t know such a thing existed, so I was quick to add that to my TBR. It definitely felt like I was missing something here and there, but not enough to be thrown off.

This was a quick, low angst and drama-free with just the right amount of everything. It’ll get you to want to read Luke & Charlotte’s story and hungry for what I hope will be the Wilder sister’s story next.

The one thing that I need an answer to is the legal battle the Wilder boys are going through since it was left unanswered. Unless I missed it?

Anyways, definitely a quick read to add to your list and will definitely leave you wanting more. I will always have a love/relationship with novellas, but it’s always good!

Excerpt

“Good morning, darlin’. Could I interest you in some breakfast sausage?”

The woman turned, her long, dark curls swinging around her shoulders. A look of disgust quickly washed over her face as her eyes locked on my bulge.

“Ay dios mio, you’ve got to be f#cking kidding me,” she muttered, immediately taking her briefcase from the counter and marching to the front door, her red-bottomed heels clacking loudly on the hardwood.

“What’s the matter?” I asked, stumbling after her.

“Last time I do a favor for a friend,” she said under her breath, slamming the front door shut behind her.

Favor. Friend. Beautiful woman in a pencil skirt. Charlotte’s hotshot lawyer friend from Los Angeles.

Oh f#ck.

“Hey, uh, Valencia, wait up!”

I burst through the door to find her paused on the top step of the porch. She turned sharply to look me dead on, the fire in her eyes enough to burn me straight through.

“It’s Valentina,” she spat, crossing her arms and cocking her hip to the side.

“Valentina, right. My mistake. Listen, I’m really sorry about all this. We were out late last night for—”

“For the opening, I know. I was supposed to be there, but something came up at work. So instead, I got my ass onto a last-minute redeye to make it in time for our meeting this morning, but clearly you had other things in mind,” she said, her eyes flitting to my quickly-softening cock before turning again to leave.

“No, please, don’t go. This is completely unprofessional, I know—”

“That’s the understatement of the century.”

“But I promise, if you give me a chance, we can turn this meeting around.”

“Is it still a meeting when one person shows up with his dick out?”

“Oh, trust me, sweetheart, if my dick was out, you’d know it.”

“Sure, as long as I brought a magnifying glass with me.”

I paused, standing up a little straighter. She squared her shoulders, and our eyes locked, the tension between us thick enough to cut with a knife.

If we were going to make this work, I knew I had to be the one to budge. But dammit if this woman didn’t make me want to blow my lid.

“Look, I’m sorry. Please stay. If not for me, then for Luke and Charlotte.”

Valentina sighed and put a hand on her hip.

“Fine. Put some goddamn pants on first, and then we’ll talk.”
