A date on a space station? Alien lovers? Madame Evangeline, owner of the exclusive 1Night Stand dating service is known to be magical in fulfilling the ideal dates for her clients, but she's outdone herself this time, bringing together beings from Earth and beyond. As longs as applicants are willing to let go of their pasts and open their minds and hearts, she will find their perfect match, whether they be a former sci-fi television star, a nurse, an employee of the Space Service, a former Marine, or even an extraterrestrial. Because everyone in the universe deserves a happily ever after...

Beneath the Starry Sky

Left at the altar with bald patches on her head and her self-confidence stripped away, Tamara Johnson must pick up the pieces of her life and face her Alopecia Areata, the autoimmune disease causing her hair to fall out. She is convinced no man will date a bald woman and arranges a one-night stand through Madame Evangeline’s popular service, 1Night Stand. With her new wig held firmly in place, Tamara arrives at the Castillo Hotel in Las Vegas for a night of passion and pleasure. Anything more than one night would mean exposing her bald head, and she will never do that to any man again.

Running into the Castillo Hotel, away from the paparazzi constantly at his heels, Josh Summers wants to spend his next few days locked away from the flashing lights and screaming fans. When he finds an incredibly sexy woman wearing nothing but lingerie lying on his hotel room bed, he thinks the hotel has made a mistake. Leaving the woman, he heads for the lobby to get the situation rectified. But an unexpected text from Madame Evangeline sends him back to his room, though unsure whether the woman on the bed is really his perfect match or just another fan believing him to be like his character on television. To find out, he must risk telling her his own secrets. If Tamara can handle his imperfections, she just might be his ideal woman.

Celestial Seduction

At the end of his obligated commitment to the Space Service, Frey Berger decides to stay on Earth to further experience human emotions rather than return to Ginnun where his intended has already mated with another. Looking for real love and someone to accept him for what he is, Frey enlists in Madame Evangeline’s popular dating service. Although he does not understand the concept of a one-night stand, he hopes to find his perfect mate.

Carrie Cooper’s husband divorced her for someone who could provide him with children, leaving her with little self-confidence and no desire to let a man hurt her again. Her best friend convinces her to join a dating service, claiming Carrie needs to get laid, while not winding up with a broken heart since her date requires no commitment after the night is over.

Although several misunderstandings nearly derail them before the date has even begun, Carrie and Frey end up becoming closer than they ever believed possible. Still, Frey will need to convince Carrie that her perfect mate isn’t human at all, and that one night can lead to a forever love.

Best Amazon Kindle Freebie I have picked up recently!

Celestial Seduction -
Another awesome 1Night Stand story. This one had an alien twist. Sexy!!

A really quick read that had plenty of heart. It only had one steamy scene but it was very sensual.

Can't wait to read the related books!!

Beneath the Starry Sky -
A great story with a couple steamy scenes thrown in for good measure! I love this series already! I accidentally read the second book first and it did color my feelings about theses characters.

The are both slightly flawed and liking for acceptance. They really are so very right for each other!

The outdoor sex was everything you wish it really were in real life! And now I have a new one for the sexy bucket list, under a meteor shower!

Unknown Futures -
Really nice story, it is not the authors fault I am not into reading girl girl romances. But it was part of a series so I felt I had to.

Another steamy read with lots of heart! It is what I have come to expect and love from any book in the 1Night Stand collection!

Satin Sheets in Space -
Really hot little story!! This was less story than previous 1Night Stand Books. Very steamy!! Two way hot menage scenes fill this short read.

The feelings seem a little rushed but it was a quick read and can be forgiven.

Kinda makes me hope to be abducted by an alien and his twin brother some day!!

Sudden Breakaway -
Oh yeah, that is what I am talking about!! Hot and heavy steamy action, fantasies, toys and a touch of BDSM!! Sign me up Madame Eve!!!

Another great story with just enough heart to make you melt! I really hope there are more books to come in this series!! Always a yummy read!

Nicely done collection of futuristic romance short stories that are tied together by the 1Night Stand dating service who matches perfect potentials. What I enjoyed about the potentials mates were their flaws - almost every main character had one, whether scarring, baldness, tallness, alienness (is that a word?). The characters all have self-confidence issues that stem from their real or perceived flaws, but find love and acceptance through having an open mind. This is a fun, short read, and I got it free from Amazon! Recommended.

I was lucky to find all of these books in a bundle. Each one was different and unique. They were all different and they also went together. I loved reading them back and back like this. I got more out of it and felt that I got more of the story.

This book had an a variety stories all centered around the 1night stand dating service ran by the mysterious Madame Evangeline. Most of the stories are interconnected through the relationship with characters from previous stories.


Beneath the Starry Sky
Tamara Johnson is struggling with a disease that eventually leaves her bald. Her fiance leaves her which causes her to suffer a lack of self-esteem. She has basically decided that the only way she would be with someone is to have a series of one night stands.

Josh Summers is also dealing with a bit of a self-esteem problem. After an accident left him scarred he has issues with the opposite not wanting him once they see his scars. He was set up with the service by his brother, unbeknownst to him.

There "date" goes off pretty well and you can see the promise of future with them by the end of the story.

Celestial Seduction
Frey Berger is from another planet, but decides to stay on Earth so that he can get a chance to experience the emotions that are banned on his planet.

Carrie Cooper's husband leaves her when she can't give him something that he wants. She is persuaded by a friend to go on this "date". As with Tamara in the previous story, she is lacking self-esteem or self-confidence, and Frey doesn't make anything better by showing up extremely late.

They get past that and Frey gives her a gift beyond measure and lends a measure of trust that a stranger doesn't deserve, by showing her his true self.

Unknown Futures
Jewel was attacked when she was younger and left scarred and now she thinks that no one wants to be with her. She ends up a the space service space station to meet her date. When she gets there she meets V (Flavia) and the are both attracted to the other.

Unknowingly, V is the date and although they don't realize it their attraction is strong, so the have a "date" anyway.

Satin Sheets in Space
Danyka is self-conscience about her height. She is the assistant to Josh Summers and Josh and Tamara set her up with a date through the service. Galan, her date doesn't make her negative thoughts better since he shows up extremely late for their date.

She forgives him after hearing his reasoning and they proceed to have a good time. Once they get hot and heavy he takes her somewhere that she never thought that she would go. Galan's twin Volan is there and these two men show Danyka a very good time.

Sudden Breakaway
Paige Brown has been trying to recruit Jared Barnes for the space service, which he has continuously refused. Her attraction to him has her going back even though it is against protocol. They are both set up on a "date" with the dating service, him unknowingly, and the chemistry is off the charts.

This was a very interesting collection of short stories, all loosely connected to each other through an initial character or theme. Lots of aliens and human quirkiness abound to ensure these men and women are all looking for that special someone through a one night stand dating service. As with all books containing short stories, and given these stories cover everything from female baldness and scarring to lesbians and a smattering of bondage I enjoyed some more than others but over all I found the set to be a light, fun, well written read. Certainly good for a break up book between more serious paranormal romance tomes =)

Something for almost anyone in this collection. Well, anyone who's not opposed to hot aliens! Let's see, there's steamy romance, smokin' alien sex, f/f, m/f, m/f/m, interracial fireworks... all framed in stories of people (human or otherwise) finally finding the one (or two) that will love them for who they are, not in spite of it.

Great Book

Read the whole book in one day, just couldn't put it down. Every one of the stories were great and bundling for such a low price was fantastic. If you like a book that can take you away from reality for a bit; then this a good choice.

Made up of 5 short stories and each of the short stories were incomplete. A few wrapped up the previous short story'storyline, but not that well. Thus 1 star-

Not bad at all. Unfortunately I don't have time to give little reviews of each of the stories. But all in all, this was actually refreshing and enjoyable, and I really liked that the last story involved Ice Hockey.
I liked how each of the people in the stories had something that they felt made them unlovable.
