1Night Stand #38
Designing Passion
Fifteen years ago, Tawny Reeve was in love, but her wealthy, jet-setting parents went to cruel lengths to separate her from her middle class lover. Emotionally barren, she despairs of ever finding love again. A friend sent her an email address with only a name in the subject “Madame Evangeline”. Tawny doubts she is capable of a normal, loving relationship, but maybe she can handle a one-night stand, at least meeting her body’s needs, if not her heart’s.
Wyatt Mackenzie is an accomplished architect with a lonely lifestyle. None of the debutantes and gorgeous women he dates have brought him the electrifying passion he hopes to rekindle from his youth. There was only one who captured his heart, and then smashed it into a thousand pieces. An email from his client at the Castillo hotel in Vegas, offers a solution to his passionless “Email Madame Evangeline, and she can make your wildest dreams come true.”

About the author
Kali Willows
63 books112 followers“These aren’t just love stories…they’re battle scars—and paper cuts that tear your soul apart.”
Kali Willows is an Amazon Bestselling Author of dark, emotionally charged romance that refuses to play it safe.
She writes romance that cuts deep—where love is forged in trauma, loyalty is tested by fire, and redemption is earned through scars that never fully fade.
From gritty outlaw MC worlds to seductive dragon-shifters, ruthless alphas, and dangerous supernatural realms, her stories are raw, relentless, and unapologetically intense. Her characters aren’t perfect—they’re fractured, volatile, fiercely devoted…and impossible to forget.
They will crawl under your skin.
They will break your heart.
And they will stay with you long after the final page.
Because beneath the chaos, the lust, and the violence, her stories bleed truth:
Love may destroy you…but it’s always worth the wreckage.
Gripping.
Gritty.
Hauntingly beautiful.
Romance that shatters you…and stitches your soul back together.

Tawny has been nursing a broken heart for many years and after some coaxing by her friend Laura, finally gives in and uses 1 Night Stand dating service owned by Madame Evangeline. Wyatt works for Jackson who thinks he deserves some reward and signs him up for A 1 Night Stand.
At first I thought this was a story about two strangers just meeting through Madame Eve’s dating service but was pleasantly surprised when it took a turn into something else. This one’s about reconnections and dealing with lost loves. I won’t give the plotline away because that would spoil a really nice story about two people finding one another and what turns out to be true love.
Both of these characters are likeable, the setting is exotic and the sex scenes hot. I thought the pacing was just right for this short read and the conclusion more than satisfying. If you’ve not read any of the books in this series this might be a good one for you. It’s a quick sexy read and might have you returning for more.

Super short, quick read. I like the ending though because I honestly wasn't going to buy into the fact that these two could fall in love over night. However...leave it at that I bought it by the end, because of the reason the author included. Short, sweet, and to the point.
