1Night Stand #8
Panties Optional
Maggie Chase has a wild night of passion planned with the help of Madame Evangeline’s dating service, 1NightStand. A single night with an incredible man, what more can a busy girl ask for?
Sam Peterson requests that Madame Evangeline help him find a woman who isn’t after him for his money. Maggie may just fit the bill, but with her list of fantasies in hand, she may be more than he bargained for.
Forever isn’t on either one of their minds, but maybe it doesn’t have to be.

Stephanie Beck
41 books150 followers Stephanie Beck is a full time mom, part time writer and ameture speller.
She's been writing since she was fifteen. Her first novel, "Love on the Mats" was a graphic, heartwarming tale of a wrestler and a cutie coed which was lovingly edited by the c-squad basketball team on the long bus rides throughout the season.

In her spare time she knits and sews, walks the dog, plays with her two wonderful daughters and tries to get her husband to act out the naughty things she researches...oh the sacrifices she makes for her craft.

Great little steamy read ;)

This was the third short story that I have read from this series (haven't read them in order). Not sure I liked this one as well as the others. I found the main character to be somewhat of a hoe and I just couldn't seem to like her. Maybe the next one will be better.

Panties Optional is a short story set in Las Vegas. It features a very naughty Maggie who enters The Castillo without her underwear. Why? Because she’s been lacking in bedroom action and means to put an end to her sex drought, no matter what the cost – and it costs a lot.
Luckily she is instantly, wildly attracted to her match, Mr. Samuel Peterston, and no sooner does she sit down her foot is wandering up his leg and her toes are sinking into his cock.
Panties Optional is nicely written the way it switches between the hero’s and heroine’s viewpoint. It succeeds in making the reader feel that he/she knows the characters intimately and can fully relate to their situation. There is a nice little twist to the plot which I won’t give away here – I wouldn’t want to distract from the fun!
I do feel it could have been a little longer, there was lots of steaminess but more was promised, it just got going and it ended. I would have liked to have hung around with this couple some more and seen what they got up to – which just goes to show what a nice job Ms Beck does of engaging the reader.
BEST BITS: “Black leather on one guy. In the desert. Dumb.”
Okay, we’re both here to do our best to walk away limping from exhaustion and friction burns.”
“I’m also very open to exploration. I’m an any position kind of girl, don’t mind a little spanking when the mood is right.”
VERDICT: A short, satisfying read, good characters, well written, and steamy enough to make you shift in your seat if you are reading it on the subway! I would like to see what else this author has published.

My goal is to read all of Decadent Publishing's 1 Night Stand series. Considering 1-2 are released each week, I have a lot of reading to do to get caught up.
Panties Optional has to be my favorite so far. All the rest were great, but this one caught me by surprise.
The characters are well-developed in such a short time and the love-making is oh so HOT!!
And the ending... Awesome! It was completely unexpected but I felt I could relate. I loved the unpredictability of Panties Optional!

There was something about this 1NightStand book that I wasn't super hyped about. Not that it was bad but it also wasn't great for me. The character descriptions and storyline were lacking. It was almost corny. Not sure how else to word it. I don't have much else to say the author wrote as if you knew information about the characters that you didn't. It wasn't for me.

Really? Was that it?? Maggie wants to have all this steamy, naughty sex, and we don't get to experience any of it. They talk about anal and sex up against a wall, but the reader only experiences the vanilla play. What a waste. I really liked the epilogue, but it wasn't enough to lift my disappointment.
