One Time Thing
One night only. No strings attached.
Never seeing the other one again…
or so they thought.
Fresh out of a painful breakup, Faith is determined to move on, and a wild one night stand is the perfect solution. When she goes home with a stranger from the pub she’s waitressing at, that’s all she has in fuck the need out of her system and move on.
And Ryder, an expert at casual flings, is the perfect candidate. Tattooed, motorcycle-riding, and a master at pushing all her buttons. Their darkest urges come to light on that one night together, and when their paths cross again, what was supposed to be a one time thing turns into something neither of them expected.
What starts as an arrangement of no-strings-attached fun quickly spirals into an intense friends-with-benefits situation. Ryder’s rough edges and wild side pair perfectly with Faith’s newfound freedom, and the chemistry between them is undeniable—on every level. Their desires align in ways they can’t ignore, and soon, their encounters go beyond physical pleasure.
As Faith tries to rebuild herself and navigate her new single life, Ryder’s presence makes it harder to ignore the emotional connection growing between them. But with Faith’s ex-boyfriend lurking in the background, and a dark incident buried deep in Ryder’s past, can they truly open up to the possibility of something more?

A book so good it unlocks some unknown kinks? 😍
Yes please.
Major props to Ayelet on her first book, I loved it!
The spice, the scenes, the details, the raw emotions. Bringing two people together who were scared to show their feelings, making the reader feel all the feels.
I will not hesitate to read Ayelet’s future books. 🖤

I can’t explain how glad i am that i got to read this book as one of the firsts.
It was such an easy read ( read it in 2 days ) and so enjoyable, the storyline was amazing and the main character were so well built, the character development the mmc got throughout the book, and how he became a total different person as the time passed, but what i loved the most was that even tho this is a romance book it still has themes like a soft dark romance, and if that isn’t a thing yet, i might believe this book is the first of this kind of genre ahahah.
The way both characters had a life outside their “ relationship “ and how good their friends we’re written makes the book ten times better
Although i felt like the ending was a bit “ rushed “ and “ all of a sudden “ was a meh for me, but at the end of the book i understood why it was the way it was.
I got so excited to see that other of the author’s characters, from their last book were mentioned as well, like fvck yeah, i still want to see them.

October 15, 2025A once in a lifetime love story 4.5/5
Even though this is the smuttiest book, it is still written in a great way in the context of a healthy relationship. And in my opinion the author did not fall into the trap that many erotica writers fall into, and that was really refreshing.
Faith, who came out of a three-year relationship heartbroken, decides to heal her heart by going on a one-time hooked up with a handsome biker. Since the night they both shared together was unforgettable. They both decide that they want to enjoy each other's company more. As long as they don't fall in love, everything will be fun, right?
I feel that the summary I gave doesn't really reflect the huge potential that their love story has. Yes,them being from friends with benefits to lovers is not exactly the style I would go for, and yes, I have a brief personal acquaintance with the author. Yes, I came with some concerns about this book purely because of the amount of smut that will be in this book. But I was happy to discover that great and unexpected choices were made here that make this book different from other erotica books. Starting from the fact that there is open sexual discourse and good communication between Faith and Ryder. To the balance between the plot, where there is love and deep familiarity between the characters, and God the found family, which simply made me fall in love with the supporting characters even more. Amara, You bitch! I love you!
Faith is simply a strong and stunning fmc, mature for her age and with a huge heart. And Ryder, tough, tough, but inside, he's just soft like a teddy bear . I wanted to hug them both and there were a few times I wanted to slap Ryder. In this story, too, love was found in things like the fact that he bought her a purple motorcycle helmet. Who does that if not in love?? And I also loved that he gave her the independence and freedom to do what she wanted.
Towards the end, I felt that Ryder was making a huge and positive change here, although I must admit that the gestures he makes for Faith to show that he is with her forever were a bit grandiose for my taste and would have put me off a bit if I were in her shoes. But ultimately, I couldn't resist him either.
I recommend it to anyone looking for a book with a love story that started with an unforgettable fling. With mcs to love and with a strong desire to be in the company of all the stunning supporting characters one by one🌸

Review🏍️💙🌺
3.9 stars💫
I’ll admit, it took me a little while to get into this book. At first, something about Faith and Ryder’s dynamic didn’t quite click for me, but as the story unfolded, their chemistry really came alive. Before I knew it, I was completely hooked, eagerly anticipating every little moment between them.
Faith was such a sweetheart throughout the story. It was so easy to connect with her, and I loved watching her personal growth and the way she came into her own as the book progressed.
Ryder, on the other hand, was mysterious and magnetic. His backstory added so much depth and gave the story a darker, more emotional edge that I absolutely loved. Watching him face his demons piece by piece was incredibly satisfying.
I also adored the entire friend group, especially Amara and Adam, They added so much warmth and fun to the story. I can’t wait to dive into the next book and spend more time with all these wonderful characters.
