Singles’ Week

Rate this book
Nia runs a very unique matchmaking event for women who are interested in women. Putting together just the right group for the event is no easy task when her goal is to help all of her clients find love. Luckily, all her daily and nightly activities are carefully designed to help her achieve just that.

Eight women join her at this event, each searching for something and hoping that this week can help them find it. Every night, Nia pairs two different women together, and the rules are simple: they are to spend time getting to know each other first before doing whatever it is that they want to do together, because the one thing that makes Nia’s events so special is that they’re about letting women discover if they can be compatible with one another in all the ways.

There’s Debra, searching for love after loss. Gage, someone who might give off player energy, but is hiding a soft spot and is nervous about trying a relationship for the first time. Helena, who was unlucky in love until she fell for a taken woman. Kristina, whose ex-wife didn’t treat her very well, in search of someone who will. Carrie, who just came out and hasn’t ever been with a woman before. Jennifer, who, as an emergency room doctor, is too busy to find love any other way. Sharon, who is looking for someone to understand her. And there’s Becky, who has been in love with someone for a while, but since she’s not telling her anytime soon, coming to this event is the way for her to meet someone else.

Each woman has her reason. Each one waits her turn. Each one arrives at a once-in-a-lifetime event, hoping to find a true connection and to have a little fun. Find out how Nia’s seemingly magical matchmaking skills help them all find just what they need.

5 out of 5 stars (and I'm SO mad that's the ceiling)
Okay I need everyone to know: I won this audiobook in a giveaway from the author, my book bestie told me I was going to love it, and babes... she was RIGHT. She knows me way too well, because I am completely unhinged about this book.
Let's talk about what actually happens here, because it's such a good concept: Nia runs this once-in-a-lifetime matchmaking event for women who love women, and every single night she pairs two different women together with one simple rule: get to know each other first. Eight women walk into this event each carrying something different. Debra is searching for love after loss. Gage gives off player energy but is secretly nervous and soft underneath it. Helena keeps falling for women who are already taken. Kristina is healing from an ex-wife who did not treat her right. Carrie just came out and has never even been with a woman before. Jennifer is an ER doctor who is too busy saving lives to save room for love. Sharon just wants someone to actually understand her. And Becky... Becky is here because the person she's actually in love with isn't going anywhere, so this is her way of trying to move on. Eight completely different women, eight completely different wounds, and Nicole Pyland gives every single one of them the care they deserve.
Is it wildly hot? Yes. Is it "oh my god my face is on fire" spicy? Also yes, sooooo yes. But underneath every single one of those steamy nights there is so much heart. Pyland doesn't just write heat, she writes people, and this book is a shining example of exactly how good she is at holding both at once.
I immediately dragged two book babes into the group chat and forced them into this with me. Zero regrets.
Now….multiple POVs, eight different women, all in a book under 1,000 pages?? I was a little nervous going in, not gonna lie. How do you pull that off without it turning into a mess?? I genuinely do not know how she did it, but she did. It took me a minute to get everyone sorted in my head, and then once I did I could not put it down. Cam Courtney's narration made every single woman feel distinct and real, which honestly made the whole thing even better.
I went into this one completely blind and loved that experience so much I want to gift it to you too, so I'm not breaking down who ends up with who. Just trust me: characters, plot, writing, narration, ALLLL of it-this book checks every single box and then some.
See why I'm salty about the stars?? Five is a disservice. I need more of thisssss.

4.5 Stars.

This was the most tastefully done erotica I’ve ever read!! It was so so good and I’m shocked more people aren’t talking about it. It follows a single week where 8 women are spending time together in a house, while Nia, the event planner, pairs them up to complete tasks. The hope is they all find someone they want to match with.

Very spicy but also very sweet. All the characters have their own unique stories and reasons for being there. I think they all paired perfectly!

Written in third person with multiple POV’s. Narrated by Cambrian Courtney. Matchmaking
Divorce/Starting Over, Femme/Femme & Femme/Masc Pairings, Self Discovery, Forced Proximity, Age Gap (18 years). 22x Spicy Scenes (3 of these are F2B and 1 in minimal description).

This book really surprised me in a very positive way. The book starts off as erotica and a lot of sex through the whole book, but also so much more, it’s also a very sweet story. We have eight unique women that go to this special matchmaking event to find someone and Nia, that runs the whole thing, has a perfect program planned on how to make these women finding themselves as well as potentially their perfect match.

As a reader I thought I would be confused and not invested in the story since a lot of parallel stories and MCs. That was totally not the case, the women were all described in such a loving way, you get to know them all so well individually and when coupled up. Impossible to stop listening to the audiobook once you start, all you want is more.

I really recommend this audiobook that is a unique combination of being so hot to listen to and having an amazing plot line. Kudos both to the author Nicole Pyland and the narrator Cam Courtney delivering this.

Singles Week

When Nicole Pyland writes a lesbian erotica romance, I'm definitely gonna read it. Not only does she give sexy, crazy hot scenes, but she also gives a great storyline, amazing chemistry, deep connections, and lots of fun! (and a little tear in this one 😢)

Singles Week follows eight women, specifically chosen to participate in a singles "retreat" to, hopefully, make a connection with someone. It sounds like it'd be hard to follow, but it wasn't. It actually made the book go by FAST! absolutely loved it... totally recommend this one!

This book is structured quite differently from most others. In romance novels, you usually follow two main characters who eventually fall for each other. Here, there are no fewer than nine main characters. What makes this especially interesting is that you have no idea in advance who will end up with whom.

The story revolves around a group of eight women attending “Singles Week,” an exclusive matchmaking event organized by Nia. The event features various activities, including sexual encounters. Each chapter is told from the point of view of one of the participants or Nia herself. Everyone comes with their own history, emotional baggage, and personality. On the one hand, this makes the book feel fresh and engaging, but with nine different perspectives, it does take a while before you return to a specific character. For example, Chapter 1 starts with Nia, but her POV doesn’t come back until Chapter 10. Fortunately, the chapters are short, and as the storylines begin to intertwine more, this becomes less of an issue as the book progresses.

After nine introductory chapters where we briefly meet Nia and the eight participants, we return to Nia as Singles Week officially begins. At that point, I often had to flip back to remind myself who certain characters were, though by about 25% into the book, everything started to click. It did take some effort to get there, though.

There is a lot of sex in various forms and between different characters, so the spice level is definitely high. However, don’t expect much buildup. There are two participants who already know each other, which adds a bit more depth to their dynamic. Still, everything remains somewhat surface-level, simply because each character gets limited attention due to the large cast.

Nicole Pyland has written many books. While there’s almost always a romance element, her stories tend to vary in themes and characters. This book reminded me of her earlier works Voyeur and Once a Month. If you enjoyed those, you’ll likely enjoy this one as well—and vice versa. Personally, I had a great time reading it.

Nia periodically runs a singles' week specifically for women who want to find the love of their life in the form of another woman. The service is expensive and exclusive, and she has been doing this for many years, with a near perfect track record for successful matches.
This is an unusual story, because there are nine women. I though at first that I would get so confused, so I made a list of each of them with a few words about them. But once the story started, I found myself looking at the list only two or three times. I liked that each woman is quite different, with a different background and outlook on life. Also, because one of Nia's founding principles of the week is using sex for a connection, I thought this would be mostly sex based, gratuitous and steamy, without much emotion. How wrong I was.
Each woman has her own issues, baggage, problems, but also positive attributes too. For example, Carrie is nervous, never having been with a woman before, but she is also very deep and perceptive. She knows how to get the outwardly butch, but skittish and insecure Gage to calm down and to talk gently.
An emotional story, with lots of love, new friendships and spicy scenes.
Also, the nerd in me likes that the author put the apostrophe in the correct place in the title!

I was in such a contemporary romance book rut. Not due to the quality of the work, but rather the never-ending catastrophes taking place all over the world in my country’s name. It’s difficult to enjoy lovably flawed characters overcome obstacles and live happily ever after or happily for now while the nonstop onslaught of evil buries us. I decided to give Singles’ Week because (1) it’s Nicole Pyland, (2) the idea of several different stories from several different POVs in one setting with constant cross over was intriguing, and, (3) did I mention it’s Nicole Pyland? She consistently delivers and seems to have a knack for writing the story I needed to read at the perfect time.

Singles’ Week indeed delivered. It’s a sapphic matchmaking story where the clientele must apply and be invited by the host, Nia, who hand selects each of the 8 women, who agree to stay for one week, participating in activities and matching up each night with one of the other women, chosen by Nia, to do what they will with each other, sexual or otherwise. There’s even a den full of toys of all stripes (or should I say straps), shapes and sizes. The only rule is they must participate in a Q&A together for 30 minutes each night, taking questions from a set of cards prepared specifically for each paring. Some women are there to find their soulmate, someone who will accept them for them, or believe are just there for a week of sex when they are really in desperate need of someone to help break down her walls to find her big heart. Others are there to have sex with a woman for the first time, overcome the loss of their soulmate, or feel beautiful and wanted again after a break up with a long time partner who belittled all the confidence out of her. Whatever the reason, their journeys towards healing, growth and finding each other was a beautiful, sexy, fun ride to the very ending I’ve been afraid to enjoy. This is a great read for the Summer or if you’re in need of an escape.

I feel like this will be a book with very few middle-ground reviews. 9 perspectives, a crap-load of spicey scenes and a whole lot of wholesomeness. This will either hit a lot expections or miss a lot.

9 perspectives. How does that work? Surprisingly well. Most scenes are split in two chapters and most scenes are only about two people. So you start the plot with one person and end with another. There are only few scenes with more than three people and more often than not they are pretty light on the plot. So it's very easy to follow.

They are very horny. Every opportunity gets used to explore, seduce and be intimate with each other. In a single-couple-focused book that means whole chapters about bed activities. Here it's more like short bursts and then they lead to important conversations. It's still very much a spicy book, but the individual scenes are very easy to digest.
It's not often that an author accomplishes a very good mix of fulfilling fantasy leading into talks about dead loved ones. This is not only about horny couples getting into relationships. Each woman has a very individual journey on this Singles retreat, even if the size of the book constrains the depth of their characters.

And it's not a spoiler when I tell you: this is mushy and happy and nice and has a kitschy epilogue that is fun and heartwarming.

This was a great premise, and I admired Nia’s skill in bringing all these women together in just the right way. Sparks flew and matches were made! My one reservation is… I couldn’t keep up with all the characters. I’d have rather this was a group of novellas overlapping in time so it could focus on one pair at a time? As it was, some of the characters stood out clearly in my mind where others didn’t as much. After some time spent in other PoVs, when people bumped into each other in the hallway I’d have forgotten who spent the first night doing what with whom and which character had the bad breakup and etc. Each of the ultimate pairs was sweet in their own way (though )… All in all it was a nice read but I’d probably go back to Voyeur instead.

This was a surprising reading -- in a good way! I usually feel disappointed by books of erotica because I think there's a lack of story there, but on this one I was surprised to find a large variety of them.

There are lots of spicy scenes, don't get me wrong, but there's also a lot conversations, different backgrounds and expectations, and many types of connection between those women. It's nice to see how they recognize if they like each other, and how they talk about that -- it's not simple to explain to someone else that they are not exactly what you are looking for. It's also nice to see how different women can handle different issues of each one of them, so the initial connections make sense even if that couple will not be together in the long term.

I can only say I was surprised, and by what I can see on the other reviews of this book, you will be too.

So if you are looking for a lot of spicy scenes but want something more than that, give this book a chance. It's very likely you will like it.

Not sure

I've always been hit or miss with this author. Mostly hit because I keep coming back. This one was a miss for me. It seemed like the author had a bunch of bedroom scenes she had written and nothing to do with them so she just Frankensteined something together. The story was mostly just a 2* for me, but I gave it 3 because I liked the ending. And Debra's conversations broke my heart. More than once.

Spoilers ahead. ish. Scroll down to see.

Where Do I Sign Up?

“Single’ Week” sizzles from start to finish, and I want a Single Week, too!The story is bursting with steam, and colorful characters. Quirks and humor fill the pages of an unlikely matchup tale. But lo and behold, Nia’s strategy gets results, as odd and annoying as the rules are. Settle in for some hot stuff and heavy breathing - this book will put ideas in your head!

Hot AF but so much more than that

I’ve always been a fan of this Author, but this is hands-down my favorite book I’ve ever read of hers. It’s spicy in a great way and not over the top. It’s insightful and loving. Honestly I didn’t think I would enjoy a book about multiple protagonist, but I was proven wrong and I’ve never been more happy to be wrong.

Good book

We get to see the lives of eight different people that are going on a single week retreat. There they learn about themselves and learn about what they want in a partner. Yes, there is plenty of sex but not during the day. During the day they have games and questions to answer. A good book to read to see h who ends up with who.

Fantastic book!

I thought I would get confused with so many different characters but as the book went on, I became so invested in each story line! I wish there was a sequel! Such a good book and Im so sad that I'm done reading it!

Different

It was definitely cute! But I think the authors stories usually have more of an emotional attachment that lacked here. This was more a multi character romp fest with love.

Another excellent Nicole Pyland book. I enjoy all of her writings. This one was spicy, erotic novel involving multiple couples. If you enjoyed “Voyeur”, (and I did), you will also love this one.

Who will it be?

For these eight women, this "retreat"could lead to love. The only question is, who will it be? I really enjoyed this story. The characters are great, the story flows and the sexy times are smoking' hot!
