1Night Stand #77
Hungry for Touch
Kimber Dawson hasn't been able to connect with any man since her accident. Something inside seems broken...and 1NightStand may be her last hope to prove she isn't the ice queen men have claimed her to be. Can one man's touch do what others couldn't? All she wants is to feel a connection. For a night, an hour, or even a moment. Anything more would be unexpected. After his third deployment in Afghanistan, Nate Brennan is a jaded soldier who has tasted the bitter and now aches to taste the sweet. Gone too long without sexual affection, he yearns for a woman to welcome him home with open arms and no expectations beyond the morning. Anything more would be unacceptable. Two world weary souls will realize things can get very complicated when passion is satisfied...and a new hunger takes its place.

Coming home to America after years fighting in a war, many service men and women struggle to fit back into the lifestyle the left behind. Maybe by finding something new to believe in will help. Madame Eve gives one such lifeline to one returning soldier.
Kimber Dawson had an injury that left her in a coma. When she woke from the coma she was changed and unable to climax or even feel an emotional connection with another person. She hopes that with Madame Eve’s help, she will finally be able to reach her peak and reconnect with someone.
Sergeant First Class Nate Brennan has been overseas fighting in three different conflicts. He never thought he would see the day that he would make it alive back home. The war left him cynical and emotionally stunted. After a mysterious package arrives before he is sent home, he decides to sign up for Madame Eve’s One Night Stand Dating Agency, hoping that one night in a woman’s arms will help him feel good about his homecoming.
Hungry for Touch is a sweet romance between two characters who struggle to connect with others but are combustible when they meet. A misadventure in an elevator establishes their interest and passion in each other but it is the time that they spend together outside of bed (or off the floor) that show their tender side.
In Hungry for Touch, the sex is sizzling as Kimber and Nate are able to reach the highest plateau of ecstasy. But as the two begin to see about a life beyond the one night stand, they must learn to trust and love in each other. I recommend Hungry for Touch to all the fans of hot sex and strong characters, especially if you love military men who long for a woman to wipe the memories of war from their souls.

My Review:
Wow, when I sit down to read a 1NS book, this is everything I hope it will be. This novella was fantastic!!
This story was about two people who don't connect to others anymore. Nate has been a soldier for 19 years and has seen way too much combat time. He has a bit of mental fatigue. Kimber was in an accident 5 years ago that changed her. She hasn't been able to connect with a man physically or mentally since. Both of them are hoping that by going through Madame Eve's 1NS service, they will find a bit of healing. They definitely don't plan on any more than that.
But when they meet before their arranged date, they have instant chemistry without even realizing at the time that they are each other's dates for later. I liked the little twist of their meet-up. It made the 1NS connection seem more real and genuine. And whoa....are they hot together. Personally, I think this is the steamiest 1NS book I've read (and that's saying something because none of them are mild.) This story is Smexy with a capital "S".
I truly loved everything about this story. Both the characters were great with a wonderful back-story. Their chemistry was totally believable and hot. And the story felt complete although it was very short. I'm adding this one to my favorites file to re-read when I need a short sexy something-something. It definitely merits a re-read.

Ms Gil did a fabulous job of setting up strong characters swiftly and then bringing them together for an explosive response, both physical and mental. I really enjoyed Hungry for touch, and appreciated the authors explorations of topic with just enough depth to make it interesting and unique, without leaving me wanting more at the end. Something I think is the biggest challenge for the One Night Stand series.
Kimber was in a near fatal car accident years ago, and hasn’t been the same since. It’s as if a switch has been flipped off inside her, leaving her unable to make a true emotional or physical connection. Unable to orgasm or get past the first few dates she turns to the people of One Night Stand. If they can fix her issues, no one can.
At thirty-six Nate is a lifer in the military facing retirement. Jaded from all the things he’d seen and done his future is uncertain, and his mind is on overload. The only expectation he holds for the one Night stand service is welcome home sex with no strings attached. After an evening with Kimber however, one night doesn’t seem nearly enough.

Hungry for touch is a very sweet, very moving short story about two damaged people who are looking for something that has been missing from their lives.
Kimber Dawson is pushed to have a one night stand in a desperate attempt to prove that she is still able to have an intimate and emotional connection with a man. After an accident puts her in a coma for 2 days she wakes up feeling like she is no longer the same person. Nate Brennan is a career soldier who's job is about to end and he has nothing left to come home to.
In this story both Kimber and Nate think that a one night stand is exactly what they need to feel human again, but they end up getting more than they bargained for when they fall for each other.
I was very pleased to see that Ms. Gill was able to capture so much emotion and delve into these peoples backgrounds in just a few short pages. I'm looking forward to more stories from this author.

From Lady McNeill's review (http://mrsconditreadsbooks.com/index....
The story is not overly erotic but it is a nice hot read and I closed the book definitely glad I read it. It was a HFN and I’d love to see their story continue with an HEA!
