Forbidden Nights

Paradise Nights #1

by C.H. Thomas

Some desires are worth risking everything for...

Logan Jagger doesn’t do messy.
He lives by a strict set of rules, rules never meant to be broken.
No emotion. No attachment. No second chances.
Sex without strings.
Heat without consequence.
It keeps his body satisfied, his heart locked away.
Until one night. One reckless choice.
And suddenly every line he’s drawn begins to blur.
Lust and desire turn into an obsession.
An obsession that could become dangerous.
Now Logan must decide, follow the rules or risk everything, including his heart, for the one person who could break him.

Super cute , quick read! I love reading stories from the MMC’s pov. Bc we all would love to know what it’s like inside a man’s head- SORT OF 😂 (Even if a woman wrote it 😉). I love the build to emotional maturity & HEA; a man coming into his feelings & being honest about it is amazing to witness. If only!! Lol!

I was sent a free copy of this book for review consideration but all opinions are my own. Thank you for this gift!

Forbidden Nights by C.H. Thomas

Some desires are worth risking everything for—and this book proves just how true that is.
Logan Jagger is a man built on rules. No emotion. No attachment. No mess. His life is carefully controlled, his heart firmly locked away, and his desires kept strictly physical. Until one reckless night shatters every boundary he’s ever drawn.

From the very first chapter, Forbidden Nights pulls you into a world of intense chemistry, dangerous temptation, and emotional unraveling. What begins as lust slowly twists into obsession, and watching Logan lose control—piece by piece—is absolutely addictive. The tension is thick, the desire is undeniable, and the internal conflict is chef’s kiss💋 perfection.

C.H. Thomas exceled at writing this emotionally guarded character. Logan’s struggle between following his rules or risking everything for the one person who could destroy him feels raw, real, and deeply compelling. This isn’t just a steamy romance, it’s about vulnerability, fear, and what happens when passion refuses to stay contained.

If you love forbidden romance, obsessive desire, emotionally closed-off MMCs, and high-stakes emotional tension, Forbidden Nights deserves a top spot on your TBR. This ARC left me breathless, invested, and thinking about Logan long after I turned the last page. 🔥📖

C.H. Thomas had me hooked from page 1. Logan is a well established club owner who has been through a lot and parties to keep busy so he doesn’t have to face his feelings or past. Logan and Danny meets 2 girls Jenna and Katie at a water park and they meet up later on at his club not knowing he is the owner. After having a great time together the girls head back home. Logan gets invited to come back home and has a hard time making a decision because of his past. After facing some buried demons he realizes it’s time to visit home. You will need to read this book to learn more about Jenna and Logan and is past.

This was such a great book. I couldn’t put it down once I started.
This book offers a little bit of everything; growth, friendship, 🔥businessman, spice 🌶️ , unexpected love❤️ and more.

Such a great book!! Loved how Logan is straightforward, knows he’s an a** but is also aware of all the effort and work it took him to get where he is instead of having it all handed to him. Danny is the best friend he deserved during his hard times as well as the one he needed when he didn’t know it.

At first I thought Jenna would be the girl he had met/ had the encounter with in the beginning but I was surprised it wasn’t once he started to describe her looks. Jenna is a great FMC, she holds her own and isn’t just some girl falling head over heels immediately. She plays his game but twists the rules in a fun flirty way that I think really helped him see breaking his own rules isn’t a bad thing.

Loved the ending and the fact we got to dive a bit deeper into what happened to him and his family. I’d love to read more about them and Danny and Katie hopefully in the future!!

My honest ARC Review.

What a nice and 🌶️y quick read!
Imagine living by your special rules, everything goes perfect, enjoying the perks of being single with no care in the world.
Until SHE walks in, and you throw all your rules in the wind.
Logan is actually a very likable MMC who has everything going for him. Just living the life.
Jenna is the sweet girl who was on a vacation and managed to capture the heart of this player.
I mean, he even went back to the cold for her🥺
And Jenna’s end choice? I would have done the same!
Their chemistry was actually really sweet, including the 🌶️.

Enjoyed this 🌶️ HEA short read.
4/5⭐️

Great book!!

This book is short and has some steamy parts. I always love seeing a man who says he'll never have a relationship and settle down, have a relationship and settle down. This one was needed.
Logan is good with running his club, getting his needs met and just having fun. He's a playboy for sure! He's living the life in paradise but he's also not dealing with his past and the grief that holds him. With meeting Jenna,he just wants a night of fun but that soon moves into a territory he's never been in. He has to make the decision that will change the way he sees his life.
This book is fun,flirty and heartwarming! I loved it!!

This book is a very fast read. This book is very spicey and amazing. The main character he doesn’t want to commit to anything and just wants to live it life to the fullest until a lovely lady comes into his life and makes him break every rule he put in place for himself. I loved the relationship between the 2 best friends in the book was such an amazing friendship. Absolutely recommend this book.

[Samantha Morse · Rating 5 out of 5]

I devoured this book! From the get go the book draws you in. You will absolutely love Logan with his one night only rule… that is until he meets Jenna. Their whirlwind romance begins because of Danny, Logan’s best friend. We get to follow this story and watch Logan break his rules and over come his fears in the name of love.

For a book under 150 pages we get a really nice story with enough plot and spice to keep you wanting to read it. And the writing was phenomenal!

Thank you C.H. Thomas for the ARC!

I was a little skeptical about this story being from the guys point of view, but I have to say I am glad I gave it a shot. You should too. The writing is done well and the story keeps you engaged. I love humor and the relationships and friendships between the characters in the story, Danny made me smile many times.

[Tiffany Parker · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a really good book. Logan keeps his heart under lock and key until Jenna walks into the club and changes everything. Logan didn't realize what his life was missing until Jenna left to go back home. Love has a funny way of showing up when you are not looking for it!

[Crystal · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is spicy with a HEA. The journey to the end is a good one. Even through struggles, the right person can make you change how you look at the world.

So boring and repetitive.
