His for One Night
NEVER HOOK UP WITH A PLAYBOY...

I just happened upon this book on Amazon and the synopsis looked good.. I literally read this book in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. Quite possibly the best novella I've read. It's sexy and hot, as I usually expect from novellas, but it is also a complete story. When it ends you don't feel like you've only read half the story.
Hayden is a sexy beast and I loved every scene with him. Daniella is figuring out that there is more to life that academia and her teaching career. I absolutely loved the way the story is written.
The author's style of writing is just amazing. The editing is nearly perfect. I simply can't say anything wrong with this story except for I want MORE!!

What the fire?
You know the saying you get what you paid for, well it's true. I'm so sick of these heroines who come across as passive idiots but are categorized by the hero as being strong minded. My thoughts are apparently the author forgot to write that in the book and she left passive idiot instead. Overall, if you are bored with nothing else to do but read nonsense then this 50 shades imitation is for you.

2/5 because there has to be MORE than just sex.
and for it to come out in PT 3... AFTER I reaized this is so old it isn't -- or was NEVER -- release on Kindle did I score the internet to read His for Now and the 3rd... which I have yet to finish.
SORRY NOT SORRY if I spoil this but HUH!!!???
If I finish this story only to find out that the ONLY reason he has lived his life not getting close to anyone was pointless im going to be PISSED.
His dad did what?
For what reason?
A greedy billionaire is WILDDDDDDD AF.
2/5 because if you wanna just read about her 'slick slit' over and over... I would assume an erotic magazine at your local what gas station lol... might have something more ...descriptive.
I laughed out loud more than I wanted to at how ridiculous this read.
In it's defense, I am not attracted to possessive white men so ... to each their own.
I'm sure someone's panties got wet somewhere in the world.

This was a nice quick read. The story was your typical meets guy has one night stand....turns into a relationship. The writting was good and pulled you in. A nice feel good read.

This is a fairly short read and is left on a cliffhanger.
Whilst it was an easy, uncomplicated, story to read, it just reminded me of so many other books that I have read recently.
Hayden is the son and only heir of a billionaire who doesn't do the girlfriend thing but instead has mutually beneficial relationships with women who are in to what he's into - that being that they are willing to be a sub to his Dom. He doesn't particularly like working for his father, an international dealer in Fine Art, and would prefer to be a chef and establish orphanages and hospitals in third world countries but if he did that his father would cut him off without a penny.
Daniella is a 28-year-old lecturer in Sociology at a small town college who has yet to lose her virginity decides to go to a bar, on her own, after the boyfriend/work colleague that she was prepared to sleep with decides he's
not interested after all and they split up.
Boy meets girl, she gets drunk and, after dinner at a nice restaurant, they end up back at his hotel and ..... well then they end up in bed. He decides that he wants a bit more than a one night stand but doesn't want a relationship, although he does shower her with expensive designer outfits - leaving the price tags on of course! - and jewelry that she doesn't want to accept but does. He takes her to a very fancy party which leads to a rather weird thing involving a glass of champagne, some grapes being inserted where fruit has no place being inserted and later removed.
Add into the mix that the former boyfriend is determined to undermine our heroine's position at the college especially as they are both hoping to get an up coming promotion which only one of them can get and he's determined to get it.
Having said all of that I can't wait for book 2 just to find out what happens next.

I am not really sure what to say about this book. It was a good distraction book for me. Sometimes I come across a book I just want to read just cause of the title and this happens to be one of those books.
Hayden the billionaires son controlled by daddy but wanting a separate life as a chef. Daniella a professor at the local college that was wanting to get rid of her V card at the age of 28 but in all her life she never thought she would enter the one bar that could make that happen. Hayden and Daniella's connection was electrifying the sex was partly unbelievable cause I really felt no connection to the characters at that point. I have no idea why but it was like water thrown in your face. All in all though this book was a good distraction. There are other books in this collection but for this reader I don't plan on reading them. The WOW factor was just not in this book for me so I guess it ends with this book for me.
This author however writes really well. I loved the characters but wished it had a little bit more to keep me wanting more.
Happy Reading

I enjoyed the writing in this book, but the rating reflects the fact that the sex scenes just made me shrug. I feel that if I like the background plots more than the sex in a book that's primarily erotic, there's a problem. I wasn't a huge fan of the fact that Daniella was a virgin who had amazing sex right away--one of my pet peeves, I guess. If a heroine is inexperienced, I prefer someone who has had sex before but not often... Gives it a bit more realism (to me) when the sex is mindblowing. Otherwise the hero is was interesting with his profession, but the falling in love bits seemed a little forced to me. I was super interested in the Mark dynamic, and was disappointed to see that wasn't resolved (unless I missed something?).
Spoilers ahead! The snippet of the next book doesn't seem appealing to me--I'm not keen on reading a horrible break-up scenario that will basically undo the final chapter of this book. Ehhh.

His for One Night starts when Hayden Slate picks up college professor, Daniella James in a bar. Daniella went to college at eighteen and at twenty-eight she is still there and still a virgin. After several drinks, confessions come tumbling out of her and Hayden, a billionaire's son helps her out with her problem, with an agreement that this is a no strings attached one-night stand.
The next day he shows up in her office at the college and the fun and funny relationship begins with lots of spicy hot sex scenes as they get to know one another and fall in love. However, after a month of courtship, this part of the story ended when Hayden suddenly departed and told her to forget him. I wonder what is next??? I'm not happy that this was an episode and not the full story.

This was bad. The male was hardly male. He was suppose to be close to forty but sounded and acted like a teenager. Daniella wasn't as bad. For a short story it progressed quite quickly. A clichéd meeting in a bar, a virgin 28y/o, a billionaire, bad banter and you've got your story. Daniella fell for the immature Hayden after their first encounter. He claimed to like it rough but would take it slow for the inexperienced, enticing enigma that is Daniella. Yeah laying it a bit thick there. The story was just so much like FSOG I had to stop reading it for a while. Not a reread, glad it was free, and I'm not looking for more of this writers work.

I don't get it. This book left me with more questions than memories of a good story. He's into BDSM I guess because he feels so powerless in his normal life. She different to him than the string of one night stands but why? The story continues to another book but what for?
I felt sorry for him as he gets berated by his father and pissed that he just took it. He gave his reasons but I would have been cheering him on to fight back somehow. Maybe they will in the next book but I doubt I'll ever know.
Just my opinion.

Daniella works in a small college in Vermont. She had a terrible night so she decided to visit bar. That's when a stranger sat down. Hayden was in town for a few days on business. She has a few drinks and then decides to accept Hayden's offer to dinner. She has never this before but she wanted to get to know him. She never it would be for just the night but she didn't care. What's happens is both scary and wonderful.

Daniella: 28 yr. old virgin who is just looking to get the deed done.
Hayden: Sexy, rich, BDSM type who is more than willing to help Daniella.
1+1=2 and they hit it off - spend tons of time together, fall in love, story continues in next book.
It wasn't bad, it wasn't amazing. I did like it, but not enough to immediately buy the next book. I will continue reading the series though.

Didn't love it. Didn't hate it.
One thing...the Kindle formatting is really strange. Not the way other ebooks are formatted. That bothered me a bit.
I recommend this to anyone who reads the description and thinks it's for them. The plot is exactly what you'd expect it to be.
