Night and Day Ink #4

Taken by Night

A BBW Tigress and a smoking hot Wolf heat up the sheets in this sexy story!

It was supposed to be one night. No strings. No names. Just sex.

Valentina Cruz is a sexy, curvy woman with a new job thanks to her sister and cousin. But with the awesome job comes her heat and desperate need to mate. And she’s out of medicine to help her cope.

Brett Night is going to his hotel when the delicious scent of a tigress in heat stops his wolf on his tracks. With bountiful curves, gorgeous mocha skin and lips made for kissing, she’s exactly what he’d hoped for in a mate. Who cared that they were different species?

After a night of sin, Tina realizes she isn’t just over her heat, she’s got bigger problems at hand. Like the fact her one night stand turns out to be her boss. Unfortunately for her, it appears one night wasn’t really what he had in mind.

Reader Note: This story contains some smokin' hot sex. If you have problems with low down dirty hanky-panky, you might want to skip this one. However, if you like a curvy woman who loves her body, a man who will do amazing things with his tongue and some cheeky humor, this is the story for you. Enjoy.

The best one yet in this series.
Milly Taiden as always has written a smoking hot read. I have learned to have a big tall glass of ice tea or water. The sex she tells will leave you steaming and grabbing a man or a toy! I completely love how they meet. No one spins wonderful fast pace tales like the Awesome Milly she never leaves me wanting any thing but the next Amazing Book.

This man, this stranger, was kissing her and did she stop him? Nope. She sucked on his tongue and let him grope her ass like they were teenagers on their first make out session.

Valentina Cruz like her sister now worked for Night and Day Inc. She was determine not to let her tigress get the better of her and she was not having sex with a wolf. When she realizes she forgot her hormone pills to control her heat whats a girl to do. Run home and suffer until fate steps in in a hot sexy shifter Unfortunate a wolf.

Brett Night had been in Japan while his new assistant was trained but with both his cousins on their mating time he needs to come home to run and expanded the operations. Walking home he runs into the one thing he doesn't expect a mate. She is only wanting a one night stand. his wolf will never let that happen.

When the truth of who they are comes out how will things work out?
What happens when Tina finds out why her tigeress finally stops bugging her?
Can Tina get over being Taken By Night?

My, he was a growly thing. But his words only warmed her from the inside. Her tigress rubbed under her skin, loving the fact he and his wolf wanted them. Stupid animal didn’t care they were from different species. She was in lust with the wolf.

What happens when you take a dirty talking man/wolf add in a huge romantic side.... My heart sighs a lot and yeah you know what the dirty talk does.

Then you have a BBW woman/Cat who wants to avoid any wolf but ends up in heat......

CHEMISTRY off the pages, This is the third in a series and Mrs. Taiden pulled it off again. The characters are fascinating and I am always amazed when an author can create a GOOD plot in a short story. Very well done, I think this Is my favorite of the series.

smoking hot

This book has passion that is off the charts. The storyline was great and it reminded me that a person can know their mate at first glance. The story had humor that had me busting out laughing and sexy scenes that had me fanning myself. This is another hit for Milly Taiden. Not a book for those who cannot handle rapid sexy scenes or those under 18. Great job Milly.

Watch out for things you bump into in the night...

It takes one strong wolf to tame a tiger! Great characters who behave unexpectedly to bring us a wonderful passionate story. And now a bit about the story...

Almost all the men of Night and Day have been taken, but Brett still remains single and lonely in Japan. He has a new assistant that has started working for him in the U.S. office. Her co-workers think they would be purrfect together another kitty and puppy combo. She just wants to get through this heat before it kills her, that is until she bumps into a stranger on the street.

Favorite passage: Most people told her she had such an hourglass figure. She liked to say she was hourglass with extra days.

Smokin Hot!

Milly has done it again with another smokin hot book. This is the fourth book in the Night and Day Ink Series. These are short stories but they have a lot in them and well worth the read. You can't go wrong reading one of Milly's books. Valentina Cruz is a sexy curvy woman and also a Tiger shifter who is in heat. She just started a new job and has yet to meet her new boss Brett. While out one night her heat gets out of hand, so when she meets a sexy wolf shifter on the street and he offers to tame the heat she can't turn him down and a one night stand can't hurt. Then Valentina finds out that her one night stand is actually her boss Brett and he is determined to make Valentina his mate. I can't wait until the next book by Milly comes out. I highly recommend any of her books.

Hot and Steamy!!!!!

Another amazing book by Milly Taiden!!!! Taken by Night is the fourth book in the Day and Night Ink series, it centers around the shifter men who run Day and Night Ink and how they find their sexy curvy mates. Brett Night is a wolf shifter who has been expanding the business in Japan and talking to his new assistant, Valentina, via email. Valentina is a tigress who is starting to go through heat while sitting at a bar with a friend. She walks home to suffer through her heat alone when she accidentally bumps into a very sexy wolf shifter who is more than willing to help her through her heat. Having never spoken or seen each other before, Valentina and Brett have a hot night together before Brett realizes who she is and that she's his mate. Brett has a lot of work to do to prove to Valentina that they are perfect for each other if only she'd give them a chance. I loved this book, if you've never read a Milly Taiden book, you need to start now, they are hot, steamy, sexy and funny all rolled into one fantastic package.

Holy Hotness! This book started out hot and steamy right away. Ms. Taiden didn't wait to start the sexiness on this book. Wow. Tina was a lucky woman in this book.
Although, I might have been a little freaked out if I started getting presents and phone calls after a one-night stand. And then if my boss started asking personal questions, I wouldn't answer. That's just me.
But Tina took it all in stride, and enjoyed it all. How wonderful to find out though that your one-night stand is not a creep!
You don't have to read any of the other books in the series to read and "understand" this book. All books in this series can be read as stand-alone. But you might want to read the others, just for the sheer hotness this author provides.
Get real comfortable and enjoy the book!

Rawr....... wolves and tigresses

This book is sexy and hot! Tina and Brett are sizzling. Tina doesn't want a mate, in heat she bumps into a stranger who is a sexy wolf. Will one night be enough, or will she take a chance? Brett can't get her out of his mind. Can he tame the tigress and make her his or will they just be a one night stand? Love this book. Love Milly Taiden's writing style. Each book gets better and more stimulating.....

I don't know who does shifters better than Milly Taiden! Each storyline is unique with swoon worthy males! And you gotta love a BBW female lead. The attraction is instantaneous between Tina and her mystery man. The sex sizzles. I always feel like I need a cigarette after reading a book by Milly and I don't even smoke. Another hot tale that I recommend!

Taken by Night was definitely a hot and sexy bite. I loved Brett's pursuit of Tina. It was so sweet and sexy. My only complaint about the story is that it wasn't long enough. I wanted more of Brett and "what's her name?" LOL.

Yes!!! Super smexy!!!

This is probably my favorite in the series so far! It changes things up by having the smexy happen first. Yummy hawt steamy time!! This also kicks up the dirty talk! Oh, Hell yes!!

The story this time had a bit more to it as well. Really loving this series of sassy progresses and Alpha wolves!! Tina is such fun to read and Brett is totally delicious! Love their whole dynamic. The mixed narrative keeps you on your toes, getting both POV is key. Love it when the guy has to do a little chasing and convincing his mate!

The only complaint it the neighbor seemed to be randomly thrown in there. It wasn't needed unless we plan on seeing him in another book.

Can not wait for more of these quickies!!!

I read this book on Kindle Unlimited.

Valentina worked for Night and Day Ink and fails to take her pill to keep her heat in check. She inadvertently bumps into a handsome stranger who wants to help her out sexually. No Valentina has never had a one night stands but her tiger wants the stranger---sexually. He follows her-- not stalks her and they get it on in their passionate one night stand oh and Tina marks him.

This stranger is actually Valentina's boss Brett Day and he's back from Japan and learns that his one night stand is none other than his assistant, Valentina aka Tina by reviewing her files while in his hotel. Mind you that the only communication the two had was via messenger so they had no idea what the other looked liked.

Brett can't get her out of his mind and vice versa so Brett devises a plan to have Tina forever. Will it work or not...

Read Taken by Night and see!!!!

I loved it and you will too!

Milly Taiden keeps you turning pages while laughing and saying WOW!

Valentina is a Tigress shifter who has been in hell. She started a new job and she's in heat. She realized a little too late she was out of the pills that will keep it under control. Then she runs into mega sexy wolf shifter Brett on the street.

Brett can't resist the sexy tigress shifter that he runs into on the street. Not only is her being in heat hard to resist but she's also his mate. One night is all she wants. He wants more.

I absolutely loved it. Milly is one of the best at creating great short, sexy, fun reads. I have enjoyed many books by this author in the past and the Hot Sex and Dirty talk is very titillating. This is the first book that I have read in this particular series and it was a sultry short that I definitely recommend reading. I will be reading the rest of the series as soon as possible!

Taken by Night is a cute, little story about yet another tigress and her wolf.

Valentina has a one night stand with Brett, both unaware that they are employee and boss. Brett finds out first and uses his position to find out more about her. Eventually she learns his true identity, too...

I appreciate that Tina is described as a curvy and attractive woman.

Valentina Cruz, a beautiful curvy Tiger-shifter is in heat and it's driving her crazy. She's out of her meds to help her through this difficult time. On her way home to suffer in the privacy of her own home, she literally runs into a hot sexy wolf-shifter. Her tigress thinks this wolf is the cat's meow....what follows is a not so typical one night stand.

Tina wants nothing to do with wolf-shifters, but after an amazing night with the incredible nameless wolf she wants more of him. When Tina discovers the wolf of her dreams is actually her boss Brett Night, she's at a loss as to what she should do. An exciting ending to this story will have you all cheering!

Well, now that my Kindle has finally stopped smoking, I can write my review. I'd usually LOL right there, but I'm really not joking that much. I think Milly has actually out-Millyed herself with the sexy times in this one. You're in shock, right? Anyone that has read her before knows how great she is at bringing the sexy. See, now you get why my Kindle was smoking.

Valentina, aka Tina, is just leaving a girls' night out and the unimaginable happens. No, she didn't lose her purse or her cell phone. She also didn't run into an unbelievably hot guy and have food in her teeth. Her heat has hit and it's too late for her "heat dampening" pills. But yeah, she does still run into the aforementioned unbelievably hot guy. They're both jonesing for the owner of that delicious smell that's impacting their naughty parts. They agree to one night to help Tina through it, otherwise she might just lose her ever-loving mind if she doesn't get some relief. Let me tell you, have the fire extinguisher handy for the dirty talking Brett. Oh, that man has a way with words AND he can back them up. Once Tina's heat has passed they say their good-byes. *sniffle, wail* It can't end there. I need a HEA for these two.

So, now we get the deets on the dirty talking Brett Night. He's back in the US to help out his cousins with the business, Night and Day. Of course, he realizes the woman, his employee, that he's been dealing with is...drum roll, please...Tina. *fist pump* We are back onboard the HEA train people. Woot, woot.

Now, here's where you just want to shake your head at Brett, because he decides to go all ninja-like and try to find out some information on Tina so he can commence the wooing, because yes, she's his mate, and he knew that right away. I know, I know, this could only backfire in his face. But, he is able to get to know Tina more through their instant messaging chats, and realizes he truly likes her and it's time to see each other again. How do we all think this is going to go over?

Want to know what happens? Ha! I'm not telling you. Read the book. It is so worth it. I do recommend reading the series in order for full enjoyment, but Milly does a great job of giving enough information in each book so you aren't lost if you read any as a stand-alone. Happy reading. Psst...grab that fire extinguisher, some ice, and your significant other. You'll be glad you did, and so will they. ;-)

Brett Night has a dirty, dirty mouth...and trust me, he doesn't need to clean it up.



I loved every moment of it.



The things he said...The things he did...



Oh yes, this was amazing. Their chemistry was instantaneous and explosive and only meant to be a one night stand. But the story takes an interesting turn when she finds out she's his new assistant. The author wrote a unique twist to their next meeting. If I write anymore, I'd be giving away too many details. This was a hot and short read.



Five stars hands down!

For a short story, this one felt pretty complete. I really liked Brett and Valentina. Their relationship was very "cart before the horse" in that they hooked up and then he began courting her, lol. They had a good excuse (being thousands of miles apart when she was hired and her being in heat when they met).
I loved how confident Valentina was being larger and knowing she was a catch (sometimes MT beats the "but I'm plus sized" drum to death). Brett was crazy about her from the moment they met and even though he was super aggressive, I liked that he was in hot pursuit.

While the basic premise of this series is the same, this installment was a little different. While it includes a wolf and tigress, Tina has never met her boss, and wasn’t lusting after him during her heat. They actually physically run in to each other and things begin to happen from there. Since they had never met, neither of them knew with whom they were involved. Tina thought Brett was still in Japan, so when they begin corresponding, after he discovered who she was, she willingly answered his questions. This story was much better developed that the first three installments. I enjoyed the expanded story line and increased characterization

Enjoyable enough for a coffee time read. A set of very short stories that are over 50% sex with a bit of story thrown in. Read through KU in the box set.
Valentina/ Tina is a tiger shifter going into heat. She bumps into a stranger on her way home and ends up spending the night with him.
The stranger turns out to be Brett Night, her new boss at Night and Day Ink, only Tina doesn’t know this as she believes he is out of the country.
Brett realises who his woman of the night is when he is looking through the personal file of his new secretary. Knowing he wants her in his life he keeps up the pretence of being overseas until she gets to know him better.

This book is about Valentina and Brett. They have never met as Brett works in Japan however he has travelled to the office as other managers are away on leave with their mates/partners. Brett runs into Valentina when he is on his way to his hotel and he smells Valentina's heat. They do a one night stand and things get very hot. Brett finds out Valentina works as his assistant so he decides to work remotely and let Valentina think he is still in Japan and in the process he gets to know her as he has decided he wants her as a mate

Taken by Night is Milly's fourth novella in her Night and Day Ink series. Seriously if I didn't already read all of Milly's books, I would have read this book just because of the cover!!! My new favorite cover!!! I need to stalk Milly and get this cover autographed.

In Taken by Night, curvy Tigress Valentina has never met her boss who works overseas. All of her friends would love if she hooked up with her boss since apparently there is something in the building's water because all the ladies seem to be finding their mates in the building. Anyway, Valentina is perfectly happy being single but when she goes in heat, her Tigress takes over and meets the perfect wolf on the walk home. Lots of hotness ensues, a bit of mystery, and an absolute perfect ending. I have enjoyed all the books in the series but this one is my absolute favorite. I loved how Brett cleverly wooed Valentina and I especially loved that she wasn't a big whiny baby about the "deception." Nothing wrong with a man being clever. Highly recommend!!!
