Ashley Adams signed up with the 1NightStand service in hopes of stirring up some cougar passion in her lackluster life. When she meets tall, dark, and oh-so-sexy Justin, the sparks fly. But something deeper lies in their magical connection, something she isn’t prepared for. Will a casual one-night stand change her life forever?
Olivia Starke calls the Ozarks home. One of the most beautiful areas in the country, she loves hiking trails with her dogs, kayaking on the numerous waterways, and enjoying southern Missouri's fresh air and sunshine.
She's also 'Mom' to four dogs, a growing number of kitties that show up at her door, and four VERY spoiled horses that do little to earn their keep. Not that she'd ever hold that against them.
She's a HUGE fangirl of Doctor Who and to a lesser extent Supernatural, and has a pretty interesting love triangle (or square?) going on in her head between the Doctor and the Winchesters.
I haven't read a book by Olivia I haven't loved and this one is no exception. I love the twist to the story and that it didn't take me where I expected. Yes I knew something of what was about to happened but I was still pleasantly surprised when my suspicions came to life. Like all 1NS stories this is short, Hot and spicy.
Would I love to have read more about these two destined loves of course but that goes with any book I read by Olivia Starke. I have yet to read one that I didn't wish there were more of. She has a beautiful voice to her stories and I just immerse myself in her world.
Ashley is a Heroine for the real women out there she is middle aged and although Justin is younger then she is he seems wise beyond his years. I highly recommend this story if you've never read a 1NS book this is a great place to start.
Eh, I can't tell if this was a good novella or not. way to many holes. there's better 1 night stand stories compared to this one I would recommend reading the later ones like the seal one!
When I first purchased this novella, I didn’t know what to expect. The cover is hot and spicy, so I knew at the very least, it was going to be a romance. I also knew that I had really wanted to read something by Olivia Starke, and I’m glad I did.
Familiar Desires is a short and quick read that sucks you right in. You will become addicted to not only the storyline, but to Olivia’s writing as well. She writes with a wonderful flow, and paints a vivid picture. This short, sweet and erotic romance will leave you wanting more. There are enough twists and turns to keep you turning the pages, and if you have an hour or two to kill, I highly recommend picking up this bad-boy.
Ashley and Justin's story started out strange for me and it only took a few pages or so to know what direction it was going. It wasn't as smooth as most of the other 1NS books I've read. Not much to say it was weird and not long enough to make sense. Again you knew what was happening but regardless it wasn't great. I really think this story needed to be longer to really get the reader into it.
Kind of a different concept for a 1NS book, but I did enjoy it. My only criticism is it should have been even a bit longer to provide more detail. As it were, the author did great within few pages
