Just for One Night

Rate this book
Just give it up, they said.
Just one night, he said.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, they said.
Then why did elementary school teacher, Tiana Cook, suddenly find herself seeing her weekend fling everywhere she went in her hometown of Atlanta?

Just for one night, he promised.
Just one more time, he pleaded.
Then why was it that record producer, Justus Gates, still tasted Tiana’s sweet taste on his lips and saw her love faces behind his closed eyelids at night?

When a series of events hurl Tiana and Justus together, they can no longer ignore their undeniable chemistry or the way fate keeps seemingly tossing them together. Taking a chance on themselves might be worth more than Justus or Tiana bargained for when famed R&B singer Jessi James shows up wanting to reclaim her spot in Justus’s and her twins’ lives, and when Tiana finds herself jobless. Find out what happens when what was supposed to stay in Vegas doesn’t remain in Vegas.

Entertaining

This was drama and mess, honey, and I had such a good time reading this. I think this was the author's first novel, and it was so good. Justus and Tiana met one weekend in Vegas and decided to have a one-night stand, but when they run into each other some weeks later and the attraction is still there, questions arise on whether or not they can or should try to make it work. To be honest, both Justus and Tiana were toxic and childish, and they really needed to be sitting on somebody's couch before trying to be with each other, but I was rooting for them. This book is a standalone, but I need another book to explain what happens with London, Carter, and Dante. And what's going on with Dante and her sister?

Real aggravating, and real good

Oh my goodness! This couple was so aggravating, and their story was still good. I liked the pacing and the streaky factor was very high. I had a minor issue with the teacher dating her students' dad. Other than all the constant second guessing their relationship, the story was good.

I've noticed lately that some writer's ,when they run out of content, they fill their stories with graphic sex scenes and unrelenting profanity. AND IT IS ANNOYING!

I wanted to DNF so badly, but I also wanted to see how Justus and Tiana were going to save his cutie pie kids! Unfortunately, there were more out of control adults, that needed saving in this mess!!!

Nevertheless, I must say, I really enjoyed how the kids solved the puzzle of where Tiana was hiding out!

1 Night

From meeting in Vegas these Justus and Tiana had crazy chemistry. Dante really messed up giving London the green light and Carter is reaping the benefits. Great read by a NTMA I am sure I will read again.

DNFd because the lines about high school boys rubbed me the wrong way. Felt so disgusted reading it.

This is what her friend said about her working the concession stand at the high school: "That should be fun. Go out there and shake those tits and ass and watch them li'l boys wet their pants. Show 'em what a real bitch working with"

And this was her response: "I don't have time to be getting locked up because one of them li'l boys ran up in my guts and got his mind blown."

Stopped reading after that

WOW!😍

Great read. Happens in Vegas, definitely did not stay in Vegas. Justus and Tiana really took us on a journey with their story. Loved every bit of it. Hope there is a story on London and Carter in the future. Great job, Egyptian.

Justus and Tiana!!

Justus and Tiana met in Vegas where their time together was only supposed to be for one night, but unbeknownst to them, their paths would cross again. Just when they're making their relationship work, his trifling ex, Jessi, decides to re-enter Justus' and their twins lives. I couldn't stand her nor Candi because both of them were so conniving and manipulative. I loved those cutie-pie twins.  They were adorable and really loved themselves some Tiana. I also loved the passion and chemistry between Justus and Tiana. Even though they had their share of issues, you knew their love for each other was still there. The author did a really good job with her debut book. I'm hoping that she will do a follow-up book with London and Carter because I have questions. 😊

Loved It

What a wonderful story of love, heartbreak, respect, family and friends. I really enjoyed the concept of a single father, Justus was an awesome dad in my opinion especially after the heart break that he dealt with, but he had a strong family! Tiana on the other hand was out there on a home own with very little family support she just had a aunt and a cousin and her best friend in London! The way they were able to meet Justus and DIANE was so organic! They were two Gordon people working hard , but just needed to be loved! Fortunately they were able to get it together after all that they went through! I'm hoping to see London and Carter, because Nigeria and Tiana have to get married!

Love

It was an emotional roller-coaster, but I love it.
Sometimes, women dont know how to be mothers. They dont know how to love because they never love or just dont want to love.
I am glad Justus and the kids were able to be there for T. Justus made things happen because of his money. They were a cute couple. It took a lot for both of them to open up.
This story happens all the time. Sometimes, it ends with happiness, and other times, it does.
I cant wait to read the next book

.

Tiana played to many games. I think she rolled her eyes at least 200 times. It was annoying as fuck. All her friends was on some ho shit including London. They just were trashy and disgusting. Tiana being mad at Justus for hanging out with chicks when this bitch said they couldn't do anything because of her job was ridiculous.

Moving Story

Best story I've read in awhile. Started out slow but really picked up. Tiana & her friends were at the very beginning of this book. Thats where I got a little bored. But the story really picked up. Great storyline. Justus was a beast. Keep reading this you won't be disappointed.

Really good read!

This was the cutest read! Justus and Tiana sparked like fireworks, and boy was it hot! Good banter, and heavy on the sexy times! OMG, and the twins! That meddling witch should have got her butt kicked!

I’ll need to check out the other books in this series for sure!

My first Egypt Cynae and I'm not completely sold. Justus was a Fboy in a lot of ways. Basically he was free to play in Tiana's face but suddenly it was disrespectful when she went about her way. He always had an excuse for everything but never really an apology and then they had sex and that was that.

Good

This book was good but it had way too many side eyeing moments .. like the reference about sleeping with a high schooler .. also the domestic violence was a big draining. I can already tell London and Carter are going to be a handful .. cool story line .. ok with age gap..

so good!!

So freaking good! Tiana was truly a runner but Justus didn’t play about her. HE knew he wanted her. After London’s accident, I hope she got it together. I bet Dante and Krista messing around

2.5 ⭐️ Not a fan of this. All they did was Smash, every problem was solved with them getting naked. No real chemistry from the characters, just had sex and suddenly they in love. The mess and drama was all over the place and could have been written better. Just felt this book had no real substance.

Apparently what happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas for this crew. This story started off so good but that toxic love…that toxic love between Justus and Tiana was real aggravating. I was over the back and forth after the first two rounds.
