When the Devil is a magnetic billionaire obsessed with a college student, who should know better than to provoke him.
He always gets what he wants.
He always breaks what he wants.
And he wants her.
ESME
As an art student in New York, I run into Remi Arlington by accident. Sparks fly, but not of the good variety.
Hard to please, never satisfied, and overly demanding, Remi taxes me viciously every time he sees me.
Our animosity only grows, but does it?
Little do I know that the man with the chiseled body of a god, the most magnetic eyes I've ever seen and a reputation bigger than the high rise bearing his name is profound and sophisticated to a fault, and he's about to challenge my beliefs, luring me into a world of dark pleasure from which I can't come back.
REMI
My past was more tumultuous than the ocean in the hug of a hurricane. But those times are past me.
These days, I live in seclusion, surrounded by a world I can control, which I built for fun and profit.
I've made peace with my past and have no expectations. And then, she arrives and thinks it's a good idea to challenge me.
The rule breaker.
The woman who knows no fear.
My new pleasure, and my ending.
She thinks she can do whatever she wants. She has no idea who she's dealing with.
And I'm about to teach her a lesson.
Maybe more.
Going from instant enemies to fated lovers becomes a long, delicious, twisted road that spans eleven books.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
This is the first book in a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers, suspenseful, dark billionaire romance with unexpected twists and spicy moments later in the story.
All books end in a cliffhanger, except for the eleventh one that concludes Remi and Esme's story.
Remi's eleven books are followed by Cameron's four books, which are also available in the store.
All books must be read in order.

This story was about Esme and Remi’s journey.
Esme, 21 y.o. art assistant, was ingenuous, immature, with childish behaviour.
Remi, 27 y.o. billionaire, was ice-cold, detached, rude, arrogant and brusque.
The character of Esme was fully described, since the story was being told by her pov, while the character of Remi was lightly introduced. They met a few times where they never got along with each other.
The plot was not much clear. There were scattered titbits which I believed were hints so as to get a better picture in the next part.
I don’t think I will read the other two parts of this trilogy because I wasn’t so excited with the first.

I really enjoyed this first book in Remi and Esme's slow simmering, enemies to lovers romance. This book introduces you to the characters, helps you get a clear idea of who they are, covers their initial meeting and showcases the many sparks that fly between them during each and every interaction they have from that first meeting onwards. I thought both characters were appealing , but also know that there are many, many layers left to uncover about them in future books. I thought Esme was quirky, sassy and naïve. She also fluctuated between being sweet and a bit crazy. She had no filter, which was funny but her judgement and lack of control over her actions was certainly not her best feature. Remi was cold, exacting and entitled. He was very much a jerk but there was no denying the appeal that he has. Like a beautiful jungle cat that can turn deadly in the blink of an eye, you are attracted and yet if you are smart you are wary. This book snags your interest and leaves you eager to learn more about these two and to see how things will evolve from here. I do think that things will get pretty steamy, twisty and intense. However, that is just what I think. We shall all have to wait for the next book in the series to find out. This is my voluntary, honest review.
November 7, 2023
In Shayne Ford style, we meet Esme Rawling. Twenty-one years old, transplant to New York, full-time Art student, part-time Manager of an Art Gallery, and a personality like a firecracker without a filter. And then there's Remi Arlington. Twenty-seven-year-old billionaire, built like an Atlantean god, with a personality and demeanor so cold, calculating, and demanding it could crack the ice. When these two meet it begins a chain of events that quickly escalates into a dance of mystery and intrigue. Seemingly two opposites; one like a disgusted, resentful moth to a flame, the other a master puppeteer of a mental game of chess. I love how the intensity of this story just kept building. Small pieces of information that could be nothing stand out, making me wonder at their importance. The chemistry is building but what kind and where it leads kept me turning pages until it ended. And now I breathe, knowing I'll have to wait for the next book because this one just sunk its teeth in and won't let go. You have another winner on your hands Ms. Ford with this 5* rating!

Great start to a new series that promises to be a slow, simmering and sultry burn. The storyline is well-written with attraction, animosity, chemistry and great characters who will get under your skin with their antics and responses. This book ends on a cliffhanger but a HEA is promised by the end of series. I loved it. I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review.

struggled not to give this 5 bc the quality is so shit but takes me straight back to my wattpad days, I was giggling and gasping, god this is a gem. AND THE PACING!!!! for once an author has not let me down. Thank you for keeping your secrets and keeping things slow :) love you to death for it

Wow, fabulous characters!
I loved the beginning of this series, it's excellent. The characters are really fabulous, completely unpredictable in their reactions: I spent my time hoping for some reactions that did not arrive or whose conclusion was unexpected. It's impossible to let go of the book once started!
This episode is clearly setting up something more complex for the future books of the series.
Esme brings her computer to her best friend because she had forgotten it at home, but she goes on the wrong floor of the building and meets a man, Remy, unpleasant, arrogant, and she insults him. The problem is that this is the boss of her friend. They meet by chance at the art gallery in which she works and he manages to handle her, to avoid her, even to endanger her part-time job and her studies.
Yet from this regular confrontation, an attraction seems to appear, but rather unhealthy, twisted, and not very clear. Esme is a woman with a strong impulsivity, without filter, rather beautiful even if she does not know it, and with a rather romantic heart, while Remy is cold, ironic, manipulative, arrogant, dark, attractive and he does not hesitate to use his power against others, especially women. Now, Esme is clearly a challenge for him, so much that he tries to annoy her, pushing her to the end to attract her until she looses control more either verbally or physically.
I can not wait for the next book of the series !

SASSINESS & Allergic to knits! 👍👍👍👍👍
Exciting bursts of laughter.....
I'm not quite sure if this is supposed to be a comedic read but at least a dozen or more outbursts of laughter erupts from the comedic sarcasm play of enticing chemistry between Esme and Remi as they banter back and forth with (Esme cat claw sassiness) verses (Remi a dominating Lion) and what a battle of words spinning together binding this irresistible wicked intense read together making it impossible to put down. I'm anxious to read more and how all this chaotic foreplay of sarcastic humour will flip into the sexy thrills with heat radiating from the pages. Without a doubt Shayne always ceases to amaze me. Her writing is fresh, unique, realistic and flows without missing a beat. An exciting must read that I highly recommend and as I already stated I'm extremely anxious to read more.

Esme is a young art student working part-time in an art gallery, dress not to impress and has no filter between brain and mouth, but she has a good heart. One beautiful morning her best friend is in a bind so Esme rushes to her aid, but in the process encounters a horrible obnoxious man that insults her clothing and pushes all her wrong buttons. And the worst of all, this man, Remi Arlington with his cat and mouse games, are here to stay. I love Esme and was feeling all her anger and hurt. What a great start to a series! I was hooked from the first page and could not stop till the end. Story ended in a cliff-hanger, so looking forward to part two.
May 7, 2019
The game of cat and mouse that Remi is playing with Esme is interesting and intriguing. Remi is a wonderful mystery that I can’t wait to unwrap during this series. It is funny because I sucked down this story in just a couple of hours, yet my mind is spinning with a ton of questions that I know will eventually be answered, yet I am not sure what else to say. Remi seems like a real jerk but that is hardly the whole story there and Esme is young and naive. It is obvious that Remi is trying to figure out the woman she will become, trying to guide her some even but she is fighting every thing that comes at her. All I really know at this point is that my appetite for more it ravenous.

Remi
By Shayne Ford
Main Characters: Remi and Esme
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author.
5 out of 5 stars
Love Esme's character. She gives as good as she gets. Fiery personality. Remi, on the other hand, came off as cold, entitled or other words a real jerk. However, who knows why he is like that. We shall find out more in the upcoming books. This book was a little on the short side and of course, you know it ends in a cliffhanger. Cannot wait to see how Shayne progresses their enemies to lovers story. Great start to a new series. Highly recommend!

This dark and delicious book is already climbing it's way under my skin I can tell by the time the last book is finished I'll be strung out on this Author words and wicked thoughts. This 1st book is like a appetizer and will leave you starving for more. Remi is a snobbish billionaire who thinks he's entitled to whatever or whomever he wants then he meets Esme by accident or maybe by fate either way she is a challenge to Remi's dark side. This cliffhanger left me yearning for more of Shayne's world of creation.

I voluntarily read and reviewed this as an ARC
Shayne Ford never fails to yank at my emotions with her tales but Remi fires them off like a rocket. I can so totally relate to the overwhelming urge Esme has to bash him unmercifully with heavy objects. They say still waters run deep and I can't get any reading on him at all except he has a reason for his attentions to Esme. I can't wait for the next in this series! Will he start to redeem his actions or continue to earn the crown for biggest A-hole?

Great start to an exciting new series (Night of Diamonds). So many emotions floating around my head as I was reading this book; felt like I needed to hold onto my seat. These two main characters Esme and Remi have such strong chemistry between them (I am really looking forward to seeing how their relationship plays out in the next installment). I am a sucker for an enemies to lovers romance and this one had me from the first page, author does a tremendous job of creating a story that hooks you from the start with an easy flow and quick wit.

I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book. This is another really good book and is a great start to another new series. I really enjoyed reading “Remi” from Shayne Ford. It is a really well written book with a great, interesting, intriguing storyline and the engaging characters have great chemistry and interaction that pulled me into their story. This is an Entertaining, Must Read Romance that I really loved reading from beginning to end

Great Start to a New Series!
Remi (The Night of the Diamond Series) is a dark erotic romance series that follows the seduction and grooming of 21 year old Esme Rawling from a frumpy college student into a beautiful, seductive and highly sensual submissive by the dark and mysterious 27 year old dominant billionaire Remi Arlington.
Shayne Ford you have absolutely done it again! This book is so beautifully written and highly addictive. Can’t wait to read the next book!

When I was done reading I cried out why! I wanted more like a druggie, it was sooo much fun and exciting. The back n forth between Remi and esme was intense, the sexual chemistry combusting (yes) and the humor had me busting out laughing... Yes an interesting beginning to this series.. And I had pleasure of being an arc reader....
May 7, 2019
I was really looking forward to reading this book and let me tell you it did not disappoint. I liked the description and the characters. Her books always have so much that a lot of books out there do not have. I am anxiously waiting for the next book. I highly recommend this author and all her books.

Amazing start to new series! Remi is a billionaire who thinks he's entitled to whatever or whomever he wants. Then he meets Esme by accident or maybe by fate either way she is a challenge to Remi's dark side. This cliffhanger left me yearning for more! 💋
May 8, 2019
If you love a good mystery man saga, wow, this fits the bill. Who is this Remi Arlington? We now know he is an a$$hole, a jerk, an iceman. This book has been Esme's POV. I desperately need Remi's POV.
Deep and delicious. Dark and delightful. Great first book of this series.

This is going to be one wild ride! You can't but hate Remi to the point you know you are going to love him. Esme is a lot immature, but she is definitely going to give him a run for his money!
May 12, 2019
Spectacular! An incredible new series by Shayne Ford. Remi and Esme are fantastic characters! I cannot wait to read more! I read an arc copy of this book
February 16, 2020
Yes I can honestly say I'm completely hooked on this series. Already finished #7 and waiting in anticipation for #8. Keep them coming Ms Ford.
April 2, 2020
Prepare yourself! You will start this book thinking wtf? Hold that thought because it will be an utter rollercoaster ride!
not-interested
July 29, 2024The book sounds interesting and book 1 is free on Amazon but the fact that this is a serialized story spanning ELEVEN books and every other book is $4.99 each and not in KU was definitely a choice. I would try this only if it were on KU.

Caught in the Fog of Him
Once again Shayne Ford has me hooked, and more curious than ever, to delve into this great start of Remi in the magnificent series A Night of the Diamonds! There are always so many layers to Ms Ford’s characters that I adore peeling back in the journey of reading her books. A superbly written compelling storyline which definitely deserves the 5 star rating I have given and that I highly recommend as a one-click must read.
Esme Rawling is an art student and works part time in an art gallery, a tomboy with no filter, she has a wicked temper with an acid tongue, no dress sense and definitely has no sense of direction!
Remi Arlington, the Iceman, and the most wealthiest eligible bachelor in New York who doesn’t date and is always alone stumbles on the difficult Esme in his dealings at the art gallery. Will Esme be able to keep her acid tongue still or will she continually put her job at risk? His arrogance rubs her up the wrong way and she can’t help herself with her sarcasm and her hate of Remi! Trouble is definitely her middle name and her big mistake in lost opportunities! Remi loves to make her uncomfortable with his cold cynical remarks! At the Halloween Masquerade Ball at the spooky mansion what is the Secret Room that Esme stumbles on in the maze of rooms with her no sense of direction? Esme makes it her quest never to grovel in front of Remi and does not understand him at all! Is Remi just messing with her mind with his dark humour? They continually lock heads, neither of them giving way to the other! You cannot help but love this humorous, sarcastic yet vulnerable, wonderful character of Esme who is almost lost in a fog about life!
I can’t wait to read the rest of Esme and Remi’s story.

Will Esme be able to keep her acid tongue still or will she continually put her job at risk? His arrogance rubs her up the wrong way and she can’t help herself with her sarcasm and her hate of Remi! Trouble is definitely her middle name and her big mistake in lost opportunities! Remi loves to make her uncomfortable with his cold cynical remarks! At the Halloween Masquerade Ball at the spooky mansion what is the Secret Room that Esme stumbles on in the maze of rooms with her no sense of direction? Esme makes it her quest never to grovel in front of Remi and does not understand him at all! Is Remi just messing with her mind with his dark humour? They continually lock heads, neither of them giving way to the other! You cannot help but love this humorous, sarcastic yet vulnerable, wonderful character of Esme who is almost lost in a fog about life!
I can’t wait to read the rest of Esme and Remi’s story.

A fun start to a new series!
This first book of a new series will have you wanting more. Remi’s character is one you will love to hate, he’s hot, demanding and knows what he wants. It was fun to read how Esme’s character deals with his character and I can’t wait to read more. This is a definite story that you need to start today!

This is a great start to a new series about Remi and Esme who couldn’t be more opposite and even though he annoys her with his bad attitude and tremendous arrogance she can’t deny that he does illicit a response in her that she’s not entirely comfortable with. Looking forward to see where this goes next
