Elite Escorts MM #1
One Night
I’m an Elite Escort in their new male on male branch, and the silver fox top role I play fulfills clients needing a little TLC in their everyday life. But being the one who constantly gives and never receives has me feeling drained.
When a voracious brat gets a taste of my wares, his obsession spirals out of control. I’m left floundering and needing someone to help me hold my head above water.
My secret desire comes to the rescue, and I feel like I can breathe for the first time in years.
Jasper is everything I've always wanted. From the outside, we look like a daddy and his boy when in reality he gives me what I need. It doesn’t matter that he’s smaller and a decade younger than me.
But the spoiled client isn't dissuaded from his pursuit, and I’m faced with having to unearth truth that will have dire consequences.
Will the wounds he inflicted prove too much to overcome? Or will Jasper’s determination to show me my inner strength help me weather a storm capable of ruining everything—everyone —I love?

While the premise was really promising, it didn’t really want to work for me. Pity it’s not on KU, I would’ve liked to give one of the other books a chance when they release.

It’s no secret that I always have a good time reading a Lynn Burke book, and this one was no exception. The romance between Mason and Jasper was really sweet and I loved their connection. I really loved all of their interactions together and I felt like they balanced each other super well. I really enjoyed seeing their dynamic and how much of a good foil for each other they were. I found their relationship so sweet and reading this book made me smile a lot due to all of the cute couple moments in it.

I have mixed feelings about this one. I liked it, but I struggled with a lot too.
Mason went through a lot with a customer. I felt for him. But there were many times when I struggled with how his character came across on the page.
Not to mention, this was instant love/lust, like immediately when their eyes connected. It was really unbelievable. I get that it can happen, but damn, this was way too fast for me.
I'm not sure if I'll continue this series. I stopped reading her Sinful Nature series after the second book (Zeke's book, who is also featured in this one) because I just couldn't handle the repetition, among other things.

ARC Review: This is one of my new favorites from this author. Mason and Jasper definitely is a superb couple and who couldn't love them. When the book starts you see Mason as the top one, sorta like a "daddy" but then you get the twist and things fall into Jasper's court. Mason grew up in a not so good household and he craved love, as did Jasper on the craving the love part and trying to get his father to love him. When Mason gets injured and Jasper rescues him they both get the love they deserved. It was a hard road but not too much angst if any in my opinion. An amazing story and I can't wait for the next one.

As soon as I started this I couldn't put it down. Mason is so broken but Jasper is exactly who he needs. Jasper helps him be who he really is and shows him that he deserves to be cared for. I hurt so much for Mason and loved seeing him get what he needed but felt like he would find. Mason and Jasper are so perfect for each other and they are exactly what the other one needs.
I love the fact that we get to see previous characters from Lynn's books in this one as well!
I can't wait for the next book in the series as I can tell I'm going to love them all!

Havent read many books by this author but this one sounded intriguing and being a new series I could jump right in.
Mason is a male / male escort and his story. The MCs meet when Jasper rescues Mason and there is insta attraction and love grows organically from there.
They both have secrets but to get their HEA they need to be strong and reveal them to each other.

Hold onto your knickers because this MM gets super STEAMY and will have your Heart Racing. One Night is a very emotional & loving story that will break your heart as well as warm it with the love these 2 men have for each other.
I can't wait to see what is in store next for us in the Elite Escort MM series.

I love it when Lynn hits all my sweet spots…in her writing, of course. What, did you think I meant it another way? You must have as dirty of a mind as I do!
One Night has all the best things I love about Lynn’s writing wrapped up into a lovely gay romance with a suspense subplot that could be potentially triggering (so be on the lookout for TW/CW if they’re in the final copy or make sure you look for them online).
I mean, I absolutely adore Daddy-looking bottoms and femme tops. I mean, I swoon! I don’t know what it is about it: I think it’s the visual combined with the subversion of the traditional roles? I just find it hot, hot, hot! Then Lynn went and added one of my biggest weaknesses in the world: dirty talk. So we’ve got an older, bigger, silver fox bottom with a younger, femme top that talks dirty. The spicy scenes are smoking hot. They can’t keep their hands off one another. What’s not to love?
Mason and Jasper (our MMCs) are just so easy to love, too. I recognize Mason’s childhood trauma in a way, having been raised by a narcissistic mother myself (even though narcissistic mothers raise their daughters differently than they raise their sons), and Jasper’s childhood abuse is sadly not an uncommon tale for gay males who long to express their feminine side from a young age. Mason’s anxiety is also something that resonated with me and made me feel for him.
It was terrific to see old friends from both Due Process and Unholy Yearning in this book, especially since I loved both of those books so much.
This was a great book to start off this spin-off series with. I’m looking forward to the next!

🖤 Reverse top / bottom
💙 Insta love
🖤 Opposites attract
💙 Ansgt/Drama
One Night is the first book of Elite Escorts MM series, and we get to meet Mason and Jasper.
Mason is an escort for Elite Escorts MM and he is stuck with the silver fox top image that he was advertised as by the agency, but his preferences would be otherwise.
Jasper, small and lean figure, is the perfect image of a bottom twink, but it could further from the thruth.
Fate and circumstances reunite Mason and Jasper and it's like a match made in heaven.
When I first saw the cover, I first taught it was another silver fox daddy story... And that's the thing, isn't it? I judged the book (and the characters) by its cover, and that's exactly what everyone does with Mason and Jasper. They judge them instantly on their apparence.. Well, lesson learned.
And let me tell you, the reversed roles relationship is so refreshing 🤩 I really loved it.
Mason broke my heart being so vulnerable, and Jasper was so sweet and caring ❤️
Give this book a chance. There's more to the story, but I don't want to spoil the whole plot.
We meet a few side characters that already have their own books (in other previous series).
I hope the next book in the Elite Escorts MM will be about Kellen and JJ 🖤.

What a blinding start to this first book in the Elite Escorts MM series.
Mason Thomson is employed in the ''silver fox daddy" role at Elite Escorts. As we find out more about him, we discover that this is against his true nature.
He keeps his real desires hidden to focus on looking after his family.
Jasper is his saviour in more ways than one, but again has concealed his deepest yearnings to fit in.
Both have struggled to accept parental cruelty in their childhood pasts, and this has shaped how they present themselves today.
I loved the deeper understanding these two develop as they start to recognise each other's needs, how loving and comfortable they become as a couple. Not forgetting the nurturing aspect of their relationship, interspersed with plenty of steamy, toe-curling scenes that sizzle off the page.
Is their love strong enough to break down the final barricades holding them back?
This is a beautifully written bittersweet tale, that is a reminder that love and happiness do exist, and that it's okay to not be stereotyped, and live your life being true to yourself.

I enjoyed the initial setup for this book, the escort agency and Mason topping while preferring to bottom. Jaspers introduction was great and could see the potential, along with the side plot of the stalker.
However it all became over dramatic so quickly once they get together with both of them keeping secrets about themselves. While at the same time talking about how much of a connection they feel and don't want to lose one another.
Sadly any development is skipped over, purely told that they got to know one another but don't get to see much of it on page. Also so much drama - the lingerie, escort agency, stalker, childhood trauma for both MCs.
Just so much happening and rather dramatic, depressing as neither of them want to tell each other stuff for fear of the other leaving. Honestly I've just lost interest, I wish had been more focused on their relationship instead of overwhelming with other stuff.
The stalker plot was enough without the rest of the drama.

February 3, 2024I'm not sure why I don't always have Lynn Burke on my reading radar, maybe it's because her books are wide release and Amazon doesn't do a good job of reminding me to grab them, but I happened to see a post offering catch up copies of the first two books in her latest series, Elite Escorts MM AND Kevin Davis was on the cover of book 1, so I had to grab copies of both of the books and now I'm counting the seconds until Three Reasons drops... but for now, let's talk about One Night.
This book was delicious! I'm always up for books that break with expectations for characters and I love that Mason gets to be his authentic self with Jasper... and that they can talk frankly about their needs and wants. I love the pacing and the supportive side characters too... It makes for a world I'd be happy to visit again and again.
I look forward to the next book in the series and finding out more about both Kellan and JJ! As the first book in the series, this could be read standalone, but if you're like me you're going to be intrigued enough to keep going!

I devoured the crap out of this book! Mason and Jasper are perfection! This book is a perfect blend of spice, plot, and covers trauma and anxiety in a perfect way also NO third act breakup! Highly recommend and I am diving in to the second book right away!

I'm on the fence with this one. I thoroughly enjoyed the Sinful Natures series and had expectations with this. For me it fell short. I'm not sure if it was the age gap thing which is not my favourite genre, or perhaps I wasnt in the right mood. The dialogue was a like treacle - sweet and somewhat sickly. The situation with Joseph could have been 'more' and really added angst. It didnt lack heat, but it didnt engage me as I would have liked. I'll read book 2 now and see how that goes

Sweet but…
Not for me. This one fell flat for me. I adored the Sinful Natures series and was looking forward to a series about escorts but this wasn’t what I was expecting at all. The characters didn’t really connect with me and their connection to each other felt off. It was a sweet story and the spicy scenes weren’t bad, so I don’t want to rate it any lower but I’m just not a fan of this story.

Veronica – ☆☆☆☆
Jasper and Mason’s romance is what some would consider insta-love. For me, it was two men who were at a point in their lives where they knew what they wanted in a partner and out of a relationship, and when they saw their perfect match, they jumped in with both feet.
I thought Jasper and Mason were so brave being willing to hand over their trust to someone they’d only just met but recognised as a perfect match for them. It was a wonderful journey to see them learning more about each other, helping each other through difficulties and danger, together so they can be happy.
ONE NIGHT covers some serious issues, but I found it a comforting read because of Jasper and Mason’s devotion to each other. The fact that Mason and Jasper are incredibly hot together didn’t hurt either. I am looking forward to the next book in the series and hopefully we may get to see a little more of Mason and Jasper in future books.
Shannan – ☆☆☆☆
3.5 stars
ONE NIGHT is a very quick, insta-love story. I am all for insta-love, but this was almost too quick for me. It came across as unbelievable. Mason is working at Elite Escorts to help support his sister and her family. Most of the money he makes goes to her. Elite Escorts lists Mason as the perfect older Daddy/top, and Mason is anything but. He wants someone who will take care of and protect him. but his working career is not giving him anything he needs emotionally or sexually. When a crazed former client attacks Mason, Jasper hears Mason's pleas and is quick to render aid. Here is where I had issues, Mason and Jasper had an instant connection while Mason is laying hurt in an alley. He wanted a stranger with him at his most vulnerable moments and knew he could love him. I just couldn't connect with that. Jasper was, of course, feeling the same way and knew that Mason was the perfect bottom for him. Maybe I was reading too much into what should have been and wasn't that I couldn't stay invested in the characters. So unfortunately, this one was just not for me.
Angie – ☆☆☆
I am going to be honest here, I really struggled with this book. I didn't feel any connection with either main character. While I feel bad for the things they each went through before they met, and even the scene that had them meeting, I just couldn't connect. There were some very good bedroom scenes between Mason and Jasper but even that didn't help me connect. When I can't connect, I can't get invested. I'm sure this will be a hit with others but was a miss for me.

One Night by Lynne Burke is for the grown and sexy. The amount of effective communication in this book was as sexy as the smut. Let me assure you the smut was hot! 💥💥
My love for this book caught me off guard. I like my fictional men large and in charge. This book is NOT Daddy Kink. It does have a dynamic that exists in it. The younger smaller MMC is the more dominant one. The older larger MMC is submissive and needy. While I love it when dynamics defy expectations...I'm not a fan of the older man being lost and unsuccessful in my age gap books. I'm typically completely turned off and can not recommend the book.
When we meet Mason, he's struggling. He lost his job and has entered a vocation that is draining him because it goes against what he needs. He's destroying himself to help support him sister's needs.
We know pretty earlier on that he has unresolved childhood trauma, and his go-to is to bottle everything up and try to project the persona he believes the world expects of him.
Jasper has his own demons to battle, and he's actively seeking the kind of love he desires but without much luck.
Mason and Jasper's paths cross during a horrific event, and it's instalove. They each recognize that the other could be exactly what they've been missing in their lives.
The way the author made me empathize with Mason was incredible. I loved him and wanted to wrap him up and protect him myself, so I completely understood why Jasper wanted to.
Mason and Jasper totally trauma bond and the way the storybis written that's okay because these characters both want to be the best version of themselves for the other so the book is their healing journey. This book gives us great insight into not only how they fall in love but also how they stay in love. You will eat up every page because you are rooting for these men to find peace and happiness. Their HEA remains under attack from outside source, and it makes for an extremely satisfying ending.

I’ve been waiting for the Elite Escorts MM books to start. In One Night we meet Mason and Jasper. Both trying to find their path in life.
Mason is 42 years old living a life he doesn’t want. He’s been hired by Micah Fox the owner of Elite Escorts and put in a roll that’s just not him, a silver fox daddy. But he can’t turn the money down because he’s helping his sister and her family.
He dreams of someone taking care of him and showing him the love he’s never felt before. He’s truly a bottom but plays the roll of a top for the job.
One night after a birthday party for Micah, Mason is attacked in the alley behind the hotel where the party was held.
Jasper was leaving the same hotel after a date failed to show. He hears a yell for help. He finds Mason with his head bleeding and a slash to his shoulder. He feels an instant connection but he’s not the only one. You see these two have an instant-love kind of relationship. They are like two magnets with a bond just as strong.
Jasper has been looking for a specific kind of partner and has been disappointed when he’s not been able to be his self in a relationship. He’s younger then Mason but he wants to take care of the man who seems to be love starved.
I really enjoyed reading about Mason and Jasper. Their connection was instant and it was really sweet how supportive they were of each other.
Mason has a stalker and we get a dramatic storyline that leaves you on the seat of your pants. It was definitely a page turner for me.
We also get a glimpse of who the next Elite Escort will be that will find the love of his life.

Guys!! This book! OMG!! I just happened to see this book pop up on my Instagram and it just sounded so good. So I stopped what I was reading to check it out and I’m so glad I did!! I read the entire thing in one sitting!! I could not put it down!!
One Night is a MM, escort, age gap romance. It’s suspenseful and has no 3rd act breakup!!! (Which I LOVED!!)
This story follows Mason and Jasper. Mason is in his 40s working in an escort service to make enough money to provide for his sister and her children. The escort service labels him as a daddy but all he wants is to be the one taken care of. Then one night he finds himself in a dangerous situation and he meets his night in shinning armor, Jasper. Jasper is in a dating rut he can’t seem to find a guy to meet his needs. He wants to take care of somebody. He wants to be the protector and the dominant one. But with him being in his 30s and looking so young no one sees him in the dominant role until he stumbles unto Mason who needs him more than he knows.
I seriously could not put this book down! It has suspense, a great plot and great spice! I didn’t want the book to end!! I am seriously obsessed with Mason and Jasper! This was my first time reading a Lynn Burke book and I was not disappointed. She just became one of my favorites. I highly recommend!!!

But with him being in his 30s and looking so young no one sees him in the dominant role until he stumbles unto Mason who needs him more than he knows.
I seriously could not put this book down! It has suspense, a great plot and great spice! I didn’t want the book to end!! I am seriously obsessed with Mason and Jasper! This was my first time reading a Lynn Burke book and I was not disappointed. She just became one of my favorites. I highly recommend!!!

ONE NIGHT is the first book in the Elite Escorts MM series.
3.5 STARS
One Night is a very quick insta-love story. I am all for insta-love but this was almost too quick for me. It came across as unbelievable. Mason is working at EE to help support his sister and her family. Most of the money he makes goes to her. Elite Escorts lists Mason as the perfect older Daddy/top and Mason is anything but. He wants someone who will take care of and protect him but his working career is not giving him anything he needs emotionally or sexually. When a crazed former client attacks Mason. Jasper hears Mason's pleas and is quick to render aid. Here is where I had issues, Mason and Jasper had an instant connection while Mason is laying hurt in an alley. He wants a stranger with him at his most vulnerable moments and knew he could love him. I just couldn't connect with that. Jasper was of course feeling the same way and knew that Mason was the perfect bottom for him. Maybe I was reading to much into what should have been and wasn't that I couldn't stay invested in the characters. So unfortunately this one was just not for me.
I was given a free copy of this book.

I received a copy of this book.
Jasper and Mason’s romance is what some would consider insta-love. For me, it was two men who were at a point in their lives where they knew what they wanted in a partner and out of a relationship and when they saw their perfect match, they jumped in with both feet.
I thought Jasper and Mason were so brave being willing to hand over their trust to someone they’d only just met but recognised as a perfect match for them. It was a wonderful journey to see them learning more about each other, helping each other through difficulties and danger, together so they can be happy.
ONE NIGHT covers some serious issues but I found it a comforting read because of Jasper and Mason’s devotion to each other. The fact that Mason and Jasper are incredibly hot together didn’t hurt either. I am looking forward to the next book in the series and hopefully we may get to see a little more of Mason and Jasper in future books.

OH MY, I loved this emotional, heartfelt storyline. One Night is book 1 in the Elite Escorts series and boy oh boy Ms. Burke gives us a wonderful storyline. My heart broke on more than one occasion but luckily she mended it in the most romantic and heartwarming way. This is Mason and Jasper’s story and what an amazing couple they are. Both men were traumatized by their parents during their youth. Things that continue to haunt them into their adult lives. Both are living life the best they can while hiding their innermost secrets. They meet when Jasper comes to Mason’s rescue when he’s attacked in a dark parking garage. Their story takes off from here, two men different yet both having something the other needs. Are their secrets enough to ruin their budding friendship? Will their friendship have a chance to turn into something more or will the past come back to ruin it all?
I started this book and literally couldn’t put it down. I read into the wee hours in order to finish it but it was so worth it. I highly recommend One Night and this reader can’t wait for book 2 in the series.

Mason had a cold childhood, unaccepting parents, and no support for his future. Now, his sister is in desperate need of money to provide medical assistance for her child. Laid off from his job, Mason accepts work as an escort at an elite agency. Cast as a Daddy persona and a top, it is the exact opposite of his real desires. When a client badly assaults him, Mason is further traumatized.
Jasper is twinkish size with an under-wraps femme persona. He has never met the good fit for him because he's a top with a dominant personality and no one expects that from him. When he finds Mason in an alley after being attacked, there is an instant need to protect. Both men are instinctively drawn to the other, but each has a ton of baggage to work through and Mason, especially, is highly emotional from repeated trauma. Also, danger continues to lurk.
This story was a bit over-the-top for me with the extreme emotions, but it makes sense for how certain people react to trauma. The story is well-written and entertaining. It was great to see Mason and Jasper get their well-deserved HEA.

This is quite the imaginative story. Ms. Burke has spun the escort service concept around a bit with Mason working in the male on male branch of the business. He is helping support his sister and her family, even though this isn't a role he feels truly comfortable in. Jasper comes to Mason's rescue when he is attacked by a stalker, and their attraction is instantaneous. It's like two puzzle shaped magnets snapping together, and their relationship is off to the races. It is charming to watch them finding their way, with Jasper taking care of Mason in the way he's always looked for in a partner. I have to admire the way the two of them grow close and become better at communicating. The crazy stalker makes things difficult more than once, yet they continue to support each other. Ms. Burke has written a heartwarming story that I truly enjoyed.

Age-gap romance with the older and larger character being a bottom who craves the guidance and care of the top. Not necessarily a BDSM dynamic, but there is an undertone of a power exchange relationship going on without the formality one would expect from a book with that sort of theme. The characters were interesting and well-developed. There was enough drama and angst to keep things interesting without overwhelming the developing relationship between the characters. There is an insta-love trope involved, but it didn't detract from making the character's connection feel genuine. I'm likely to read the other book in this series and I hope that eventually, we will get Preston's story even though his character wasn't a major player in this first book.

Jasper and Mason ❤️.
4.5 Stars ⭐️
My Heart ❤️. This book most definitely got me all up in those feels. At first glance of the blurb you don't really expect to get such a moving story out of this read but I should have known better where Lynn Burke's writing is involved. Jasper and Mason meet under some not so good circumstances yet from the moment they meet they feel this invisible pull to each other like no one before. The relationship build was fast but with no less feeling or emotion than a slow burn romance. The chemistry between these two was explosive, with both of these men finally finding their missing half in terms of intimacy. Each holds past secrets, holds pain but together they learn to heal and love each other faults and all. This was a touching journey to a well deserved HEA. I highly recommend this book.

A great kick off to a new series by Lynn Burke. I love that she is back in her MM romance era. This book is filled with ups and downs, with insta-lust spice. I really enjoyed this story and can’t wait to meet more of these side characters mentioned as this series continues.
Mason (MMC) is already slightly broken, but an unexpected turn of events causes his world to turn even more upside down. Jasper (MMC), the ultimate nurturer by nature, finds a very different man that needs his kind of love. The only problem is secrets and past trauma may just be too much for them to get past.

Mason made the mistake of allowing one individual's perspective of his physic to label him as a certain type of personality. He felt he had no choice but to continue in that role, causing him emotional and mental distress.
After being attacked, Jasper comes to the rescue and chases off the assailant. This starts a tale of two men, both perceived as one personality, but actually being the complete opposite. Two people who complete the other when courage to reveal their true selves allows them to.
I think this book will remain with me for a long time, reminding me not to look at my surroundings and people just on the surface, but to look a little deeper when words and actions don't align.
Thank you to Lynn Burke for sharing not just a book of entertainment and fun, but one that can stimulate the mind and point out areas where we can play a role in supporting others.
I received a copy and it is my pleasure to leave an honest and voluntary review.

This is the first in a new series, and this is Mason and Jasper’s journey. Mason is a silver fox, who is an elite escort, and his world tilts on its axels due to an unexpected event. Jasper comes to Mason’s rescue when he is being attacked, and a friendship begins. Both of these men have been traumatized by their pasts, but what will happen when the past comes back to haunt them?
This is a well written story which is easy to read emotional roller coaster, with truths, consequences, secrets, trauma, friendships, twists, and love, which leads to a heartwarming and steamy page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.
