1Night Stand #83
Blind Need
Two wounded souls, one blind and the other scarred, are matched up by the famous Madame Evangeline -- neither one expecting more than a brief meeting of two bodies in the dark for one night.
Xaviera Navarro had it all, a wonderful career ahead of her running her family’s wine business, a sexy fiancé, and her dream-wedding around the corner, but that all changed in the blink of an eye. A freak accident has left the Navarro wine heiress blind with no future other than the company of her seeing-eye dog, Lucy. After licking her wounds, she finally is tired of her own company and ventures out in hopes of finding a man who might be strong enough to stand beside her but not in front of her. If she can’t have that, she’ll settle for a night of hot loving before returning home.
Ignatius "Nate" Ramirez is not only a scarred fire-jumper with a justifiably bad attitude toward women, he’s also under strict orders by his Captain that if he doesn’t get laid on his vacation, he’s going to bench him. After finding out about 1Night Stand, he requests Madame Evangeline find him the perfect fantasy woman to have under the cover of darkness. Figuring he’ll have a better chance with his date with all the lights out, he wasn’t expecting a feisty, no punches pulled heiress to knock him off his feet.
A blind woman and a scarred fire-jumper should be a match made in heaven, but will Nate and Xaviera manage to leave their baggage at the door and find love all in one night.

About the author
Dakota Trace
121 books245 followersHello, and welcome to my site. I'm Dakota, an author of erotic romance (think 50 Shades of Gray - but better) and paranormal erotica. And what exactly does that mean? Well, since I've always marched to the beat of different drum: it means that I get to take my unique life experiences - like putting around in the garage with my dad, or driving a train when I was ten, to create worlds where the heroines aren't necessarily June Clever, but are strong independent women who may stand on their own two feet, but long to submit to the right man. Whether it's two friends who realize there is more than friendship between them or the sexy alien who captures his unwilling slave's heart, sparks fly between them. My imagination has no bounds or at least none I've found yet!

Review originally posted at Romancing the Book
This was a wonderfully hot and erotic read. I loved that each character had their own flaws and personal demons to deal with.
Xaviera is a strong and capable woman who wants to prove to herself that she’s still a very sexual being and can be desirable even though she’s gone blind from an accident. Nate is a sexy, strong male who was scarred by fire when doing his job. He wants to feel the touch of a woman.
The story and the characters are very believable. Nate and Xaviera’s romance was hot and sweet all at the same time. I loved the fact that the characters talked to one another, they didn’t just have their one night stand and that’s all there was to the story. We get to see deeply into the the characters and to understand why they want a one night stand and why they’re scared to reach for more than that.
Fantastic story! Would be lovely to see a sequel!

Nate hasn't been with someone since he was scarred. Xaviera hasn't been with someone since she lost her sight and her fiancé. Madame Eve's finds two perfect halves to create a perfect whole. Sweet short read.

This is a wonderful hot read. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the 1 Night Stand series.
I really enjoyed Nate's character. I liked that they talked, even though they both just wanted sex.

Cute 1 night stand
Blind heroine and a scarred hero let loose for 1 night of passion. Cute couple with nice chemistry. Very short. Would have loved an epilogue
