What a sinfully sexy duet! This one is sure to melt your earbuds and have you fanning yourself. Narrated superbly by the unicorn himself, Sebastian York, you will not regret spending a credit on this delicious duet! Here are my reviews for each individual book:
One Night With Her & Nights with Him
Overall 4.5 stars
Performance 5 stars
Story 4 stars
This was such a steamy listen! I'm more familiar with Lauren Blakely's more recent romcom titles and was not expecting this to be so incredibly erotic and sexy. Jack and Michelle's incredible chemistry was palpable. I loved their playful banter and sexy innuendo throughout the book. I was blushing quite a bit while listening to this one as Jack and Michelle explored each other and their sexuality. I appreciated how strong and honest Michelle was about her feelings and desires. She didn't play games and was direct and giving. The story flowed well and I enjoyed the secondary characters, especially Jack's sister, Casey. The epilogue (and bonus epilogue!) left me with a huge smile on my face and was the perfect way to bring Jack and Michelle's story full circle.
Sebastian York was absolutely smoking hot in this one! I didn't mind at all that the book was in the third person and that he voiced all the characters. They don't call him the unicorn for nothing! He was Jack through and through and his "enthusiasm" during the intimate scenes had me fanning myself. There are very few narrators who can pull off both male and female characters so wonderfully and York was perfect. I'm excited to listen to Nate and Casey's story next!
Forbidden Nights
Overall 4 stars
Performance 5 stars
Story 3.5-4 stars
I really enjoyed this best friend's little sister/friends with benefits romance. Nate and Casey's story was so sexy and I loved their magnetic chemistry. Casey was a fantastic heroine. She's a strong and confident businesswoman and even in her moments of vulnerability, she is mature enough to admit when she's wrong. I loved that she went after what she wanted and was direct and honest. I found Nate a little frustrating at times, but given his past history, it was understandable. He really showed his growth in the conflict at the end of the book and I appreciated that his initial reaction was realistic, but also mature. Catching up with Jack and Michelle was amazing too and having their wedding play a role in the story was awesome. Jack and Casey's relationship, as will as Davis and Michelle's, were 2 of my favorites in the book. The love between the siblings was so sweet and really tied all the stories together. One of my favorite things about Blakely's books, is how old favorites appear in her other books. These fun little connections and Easter eggs are such a treat for the listener/reader. The epilogue and bonus epilogue of Forbidden Nights were absolutely perfect and so uniquely Casey and Nate. I loved the collection of kisses.
Sebastian York stunned me again with his amazing performance. There's nothing quite like hearing the unicorn narrate an intimate scene. He is so passionate and animated that you might combust! Again, I didn't mind at all that the book was in the third person and that he voiced all the characters.

Hot that is what this book/books are. I loved it I am a fan of Lauren’s writing already but this, this was just amazing.
Jake and Michelle
Jake already has one thing going for him he is a CEO and not just of any company, of an Adult Toy Company so you know, you just know he has moves right but what I wasn’t expecting was the connection these two characters have for each other. It is sizzling.
You know books where your yelling just be adults? I am so happy to say this book they are 100% adult about everything that goes on between them. I loved this so much. It was a great Erotic Romance story, there are some great smoken’ hot sexy times but there was just an amazing storyline to go with it.
Casy and Nate
These two make the best couple they have heat and connection and it will steam up your audiobook in a big way.
I enjoyed that it wasn’t just about sexy times, it wasn’t just about dialog but it was both. It was friends who become so much more to each other. These are my favorite kinds of stories.
They have to find a way to navigate this new relationship so that it won’t fizzle out and so they don’t lose each other as friends. It’s interesting and intriguing and you won’t want to stop listening.
Narration: Well hello it was Sebastian York. I ALWAYS have fun listening when he is in my ears, no joke that voice, that growl he does, you know the one. La Sigh, Need I say more? ;)

💞 NIGHTS WITH HIM
I met Jack a few weeks before reading Nights With Him in the prequel One Night With Her and I could not wait for more because they are one hot couple! This takes place the moment the prequel ended....
Jack and Michelle had one amazing night of pleasure and planned on even more but what they didn't expect was to meet in her office the next morning. He was there for his first appointment with a shrink to help him move on from his past. Michelle is a professional and also a woman with needs so she very well could not treat him but she could help him in other ways. She was also trying to move forward from her past, heartbroken from loving a man for a decade that she never told until it was too late. It would not have worked anyway....he did not feel the same.
They both knew they were not ready to be in a relationship, Jack needed to figure out if he was able to live and Michelle needed to mend her broken heart and protect it. But that did not mean they could not enjoy each-other and when Jack gave Michelle a proposal to have 30 days of pleasure and then move on, she agreed. He brought out after-hours Michelle and she loved it, craved it even so she could not say No.
During the 30 day agreement Jack and Michelle heat up and it gets better daily. He possesses her body without having to tie her down to the bed but with his touch and promises of pleasure. And what he gets in return is her, the hellcat after hours Michelle and she is also someone that wants just Jack. The Jack that not everybody sees. Can they keep their relationship to a sex-only one? Will they just walk away after 30 days? Can Jack Love and can Michelle get over Clay and open her heart again?
I love Jack and Michelle. He is a dirty talking sexy businessman that is keen to giving pleasure. She is a independent, smart, sexy and one sharp dressing woman with a blunt mouth.
Of course in Lauren Blakely fashion there are twists and more to the story then just sex and emotion. In this one she has added business and politics. And you will also catch up with past characters which is always fun. I can't wait to see what happens next in the Seductive Night Series.
Quotes:
No one had sung her praises like this man, and she was greedy. He was like dessert without the calories. He was the cake and chocolate and everything delicious in the universe.
She swatted him playfully. "You are a cocky bastard. Trying to use all those orgasms against me."
"I would never use an orgasm against you. I only use orgasms for good. In fact, I think more orgasms could bring about world peace."
"The more you come, the less you fight."
M: I hope it's not work that involves other people.
J: Why not?
M: Because I wouldn't want them to see what I'm about to do to you.
💞 FORBIDDEN NIGHTS
I have read every novel written by Lauren and I love each and every one for different reasons. Each story is unique, sexy, sweet and full of suspense. The Seductive Nights Series is more erotic than the others and each one getting hotter and hotter! Clay, Jack and Nate...oh my, what a sinfully sexy trio!
Nate and Casey have been best friends for years. They are both workaholics, Nate is the CEO of a luxury hotel that has locations all over the world and Casey is the CEO of a high class sex toy company, one that she started with her brother, Jack. Nate and Casey talk about everything from business ideas to shampoo.
Nate has lusted after Casey for about the same amount of years but the friendship is way too important to him. He knows that he is not for Casey, she wants real love and he can not give it. He had it once and he ended up hurt and he is not ready to try again not even with Casey, he does not want to hurt her.
Casey is amazing in business but not in relationships. That is what she has been told anyway. She likes to be in control and with the men she has been with that has been a problem. They wanted the control especially in the bedroom. When a potential suitor has come along and he would definitely want that control, she has a proposition for her best friend. She wants him to teach her to be submissive in the bedroom. To help her let go of her control...
Nate doesn't think Casey should change the way she is but he would do anything for her and this might help him get her out of his system. He has four weeks to be her teacher and he was not going to waste anytime. He had lessons to go over with his student that he couldn't wait to start. Nate was not a Dom, he wanted Casey to be wild and free but he would give her want she wanted and it was sexy as hell. Casey had never been so turned on and she didn't know if it was the way she let go of her control or if it was because it was Nate.
When things start to feel different between them Casey wasn't sure if Nate was playing his role or being real. They didn't want to lose their friendship and do anything to make it awkward. But what happens when jealously develops and the 4 weeks up? Will they go back to be just friends, lovers, or something more? Or will Casey decide to go take up another offer?
I can go on and on about Nate and Casey! Their friendship is amazing, their chemistry is off the charts and their humor is the icing on the cake. They just get each-other. They can go from having fantastic sex to making jokes within seconds. Nate is sexy, sweet and then throw in his alpha side and it makes up my favorite Blakely Boy in the series. And Casey is a badass business woman with a blunt and sassy mouth. I would love to be her friend.
One of the many things that I love about Lauren's novels are the connections. You will see what is going on with many past characters from other series and even future ones :-)
I laughed, swooned, got heated and cried. I have cried in every one of the books but I cried the most in this one.
Quotes:
“I only have one goal now. To give you the kind of kiss that makes you hot and wet and desperate for more.”
“Oh well, if Christian and Ana did it this way, we should too,” he said dryly.
She tasted divine, like sin and sex and the woman he craved ceaselessly.

Lauren Blakely does it again!!!
Nights With Him:
Jack Sullivan. Sex incarnate on a stick is a pretty good description. CEO of Joy Delivered, a very successful sex toy company. When Milo meets Michelle Milo in a professional capacity, all he can think about are very unprofessional thoughts. Michelle is dealing with her own baggage, and her attraction to Milo is immediate. As they act on their mutual feelings of attraction, they're both forced to face their past before they can think of moving forward. This was an emotional story for both characters, but make no mistake, Lauren Blakely brings the heat along for this ride. I absolutely love Jack and Michelle, and I know you will, too!
Forbidden Nights:
I am in love w/Nate. I love stories of best friends finding love, and this is a great one. You get all the scorching hot sex Lauren is known for, and she's exceeded my expectations w/this one. There's also a great love story between two alphas. You will not be disappointed in this story at all. Brava, Lauren!

Book 1 - Nights with Him
5⭐|3🌶|27%🌶frequency
Jack is the perfect man. Because of a lot of things. Yes, sure, he is broken. I think that makes him even more interesting, doesn't it? ☺️ But besides that. He just has the perfect job to satisfy a woman. God, a toy maker 🥵🔥 Yes, bring your work home!!! 😎
I felt sorry for Jack. It's not easy to be a widower (or "near widower" because they weren't married), I'm sure about it (even though I'm happy I'm not a widow).
There wasn't anything I didn't love in this book.
And even though with all this 🌽 in it, it has so many feelings and meanings and a message. I won't tell the message, because I think it's better to find it yourself when you read it 😎
Michelle is a strong woman. She knows what she wants. And even with the one thing she didn't get and never will, she holds her head up. I love that.
I'm now going to read Casey's story, Jack's sister and business partner 😁 So I'm sure she has lots of work at home too 😎
Book 2 - Forbidden Nights

I want a man like Nate 😍 God, this man is everything 🩷 He has a very filthy mouth. He has a body to ☠️ for. He knows how to use both together. He has filthy ideas too 😎 And he is rich. Don't say that's something you would say no to 😉
But that's not all. At least not for me 😁 He isn't a dog dad (yet), but he loves dogs a lot. And he works with a local animal shelter (in New York City). He helps other shelters bring dogs to this shelter, because they have more capacity and people who are interested in adopting a dog. And he has a special way to bring the dogs along 😍 He is just so fantastic. So, yes, I'm a goner for him 🥰
I already loved Casey in book one. She is a strong woman. A businesswoman. A woman who knows what she wants and takes it.
But yeah, we all know many men have problems with this kind of woman 🙄 And sure as the business owner of a $€x toy company, she also knows what she wants in bed. She isn't submissive. She isn't dominant, don't get me wrong, but she just knows what she wants. Shouldn't we all know that? And yes, we all should tell our partners. Otherwise, we will never get what we want, and that's definitely not satisfying 🙈
And of course,e typically for a friends to lovers both are afraid that they will lose their friendship when they get too deep into what they want. Yes, this fear is real. But hey, never in books, right? 😁
I also loved that we got the full wedding of Jack and Michelle 😍 I loooove wedding scenes. Unfortunately, they are often cut down 😞 but not here 😁 Jack and Michelle are the couple from book one. Jack is Casey's big brother, who is also VERY filthy. He was Casey's business partner 😉
This series was the first I've read by Lauren, but definitely won't be the last 🤩

Since I read one Night with Her and Nights With Him when they separate I have two reviews.
ONE NIGHT WITH HER:
I love Lauren's prequels! They are short, sexy and leave you wanting more and more. Luckily, it's never a long wait....just enough to get you worked up and time to prepare yourself for the next installment!
Michelle needs to let go of the past and let loose. She had no idea that when she was going to a hotel for business that she would be there also for pleasure, the best kind. She saw the sexy businessman from the elevator and when her eyes locked onto her that was all she needed to know he would be in her fantasies later that night or if it was up to her it would be her reality.
When Jack also feels that chemistry from across the hotel lobby he is on fire. He hasn't felt like that for a woman for a long time...if ever. When they have drinks together there is that spark and they both needs that need to be satisfied. Now. This leads to one hot night of sex with a stranger....Will they just walk away without the pesty last names? Can they help each other out in more ways then one? We will see....
I can't wait to see what happens next for Jack and Michelle! I have a feeling it's going to not only be sexy but also an emotional and beautiful ride. Come on November!
Quotes:
"Wow. You're right. Those are gorgeous elbows. Smooth and soft, and yet pointy, too. And they make the arm move."
He liked control, and he wanted to know how she felt melting against him.
"I'm hungry. Can I have the one, two and three, please?"
NIGHTS WITH HIM:
I met Jack a few weeks before reading Nights With Him in the prequel One Night With Her and I could not wait for more because they are one hot couple! This takes place the moment the prequel ended....
Jack and Michelle had one amazing night of pleasure and planned on even more but what they didn't expect was to meet in her office the next morning. He was there for his first appointment with a shrink to help him move on from his past. Michelle is a professional and also a woman with needs so she very well could not treat him but she could help him in other ways. She was also trying to move forward from her past, heartbroken from loving a man for a decade that she never told until it was too late. It would not have worked anyway....he did not feel the same.
They both knew they were not ready to be in a relationship, Jack needed to figure out if he was able to live and Michelle needed to mend her broken heart and protect it. But that did not mean they could not enjoy each-other and when Jack gave Michelle a proposal to have 30 days of pleasure and then move on, she agreed. He brought out after-hours Michelle and she loved it, craved it even so she could not say No.
During the 30 day agreement Jack and Michelle heat up and it gets better daily. He possesses her body without having to tie her down to the bed but with his touch and promises of pleasure. And what he gets in return is her, the hellcat after hours Michelle and she is also someone that wants just Jack. The Jack that not everybody sees. Can they keep their relationship to a sex-only one? Will they just walk away after 30 days? Can Jack Love and can Michelle get over Clay and open her heart again?
I love Jack and Michelle. He is a dirty talking sexy businessman that is keen to giving pleasure. She is a independent, smart, sexy and one sharp dressing woman with a blunt mouth.
Of course in Lauren Blakely fashion there are twists and more to the story then just sex and emotion. In this one she has added business and politics. And you will also catch up with past characters which is always fun. I can't wait to see what happens next in the Seductive Night Series.
Quotes:
No one had sung her praises like this man, and she was greedy. He was like dessert without the calories. He was the cake and chocolate and everything delicious in the universe.
She swatted him playfully. "You are a cocky bastard. Trying to use all those orgasms against me."
"I would never use an orgasm against you. I only use orgasms for good. In fact, I think more orgasms could bring about world peace."
"The more you come, the less you fight."
M: I hope it's not work that involves other people.
J: Why not?
M: Because I wouldn't want them to see what I'm about to do to you.
***FORBIDDEN NIGHTS***
I have read every novel written by Lauren and I love each and every one for different reasons. Each story is unique, sexy, sweet and full of suspense. The Seductive Nights Series is more erotic than the others and each one getting hotter and hotter! Clay, Jack and Nate...oh my, what a sinfully sexy trio!
Nate and Casey have been best friends for years. They are both workaholics, Nate is the CEO of a luxury hotel that has locations all over the world and Casey is the CEO of a high class sex toy company, one that she started with her brother, Jack. Nate and Casey talk about everything from business ideas to shampoo.
Nate has lusted after Casey for about the same amount of years but the friendship is way too important to him. He knows that he is not for Casey, she wants real love and he can not give it. He had it once and he ended up hurt and he is not ready to try again not even with Casey, he does not want to hurt her.
Casey is amazing in business but not in relationships. That is what she has been told anyway. She likes to be in control and with the men she has been with that has been a problem. They wanted the control especially in the bedroom. When a potential suitor has come along and he would definitely want that control, she has a proposition for her best friend. She wants him to teach her to be submissive in the bedroom. To help her let go of her control...
Nate doesn't think Casey should change the way she is but he would do anything for her and this might help him get her out of his system. He has four weeks to be her teacher and he was not going to waste anytime. He had lessons to go over with his student that he couldn't wait to start. Nate was not a Dom, he wanted Casey to be wild and free but he would give her want she wanted and it was sexy as hell. Casey had never been so turned on and she didn't know if it was the way she let go of her control or if it was because it was Nate.
When things start to feel different between them Casey wasn't sure if Nate was playing his role or being real. They didn't want to lose their friendship and do anything to make it awkward. But what happens when jealously develops and the 4 weeks up? Will they go back to be just friends, lovers, or something more? Or will Casey decide to go take up another offer?
I can go on and on about Nate and Casey! Their friendship is amazing, their chemistry is off the charts and their humor is the icing on the cake. They just get each-other. They can go from having fantastic sex to making jokes within seconds. Nate is sexy, sweet and then throw in his alpha side and it makes up my favorite Blakely Boy in the series. And Casey is a badass business woman with a blunt and sassy mouth. I would love to be her friend.
One of the many things that I love about Lauren's novels are the connections. You will see what is going on with many past characters from other series and even future ones :-)
I laughed, swooned, got heated and cried. I have cried in every one of the books but I cried the most in this one.
Quotes:
“I only have one goal now. To give you the kind of kiss that makes you hot and wet and desperate for more.”
“Oh well, if Christian and Ana did it this way, we should too,” he said dryly.
She tasted divine, like sin and sex and the woman he craved ceaselessly.
ONE NIGHT WITH HER:
I love Lauren's prequels! They are short, sexy and leave you wanting more and more. Luckily, it's never a long wait....just enough to get you worked up and time to prepare yourself for the next installment!
Michelle needs to let go of the past and let loose. She had no idea that when she was going to a hotel for business that she would be there also for pleasure, the best kind. She saw the sexy businessman from the elevator and when her eyes locked onto her that was all she needed to know he would be in her fantasies later that night or if it was up to her it would be her reality.
When Jack also feels that chemistry from across the hotel lobby he is on fire. He hasn't felt like that for a woman for a long time...if ever. When they have drinks together there is that spark and they both needs that need to be satisfied. Now. This leads to one hot night of sex with a stranger....Will they just walk away without the pesty last names? Can they help each other out in more ways then one? We will see....
I can't wait to see what happens next for Jack and Michelle! I have a feeling it's going to not only be sexy but also an emotional and beautiful ride. Come on November!

The Joy Delivered Duet by Lauren Blakely is an irresistibly charming journey packed with heartfelt romance, sizzling chemistry, and laugh-out-loud moments that showcase Blakely’s signature wit. These interconnected stories give readers a delightful exploration of love found through friendship, laughter, and the unexpected turns life offers.
What stood out the most was the authentic connection between the leads, filled with quick banter and genuine emotion, their journey from flirtation to something much deeper felt both fun and meaningful. The dual perspectives offered a balanced he-said/she-said dynamic that added depth without detracting from the lightness of the narrative. Secondary characters brought plenty of color and warmth, further rooting the duets in Blakely’s joyful romantic universe.
While the plot delivered plenty of feel-good vibes and a few emotional twists, there were moments when the stakes could have hit a bit harder, certain obstacles resolved a bit too smoothly, keeping the angst mild rather than deeply affecting. Still, the blend of humor, heat, and honest vulnerability made it easy to root for the main couple as they navigated family, friendship, and the leap toward happily ever after.
This duet is perfect for anyone who loves contemporary romance with sparkling dialogue, lovable leads, and a feel-good sensibility that lingers after the last page. It’s a celebration of joy, connection, and the simple, sometimes unexpected ways love can be delivered.

2 Heartfelt and sexy stories
Joy Delivered Duet. One Night With Her/ Nights With Him is Jack Sullivan and Michelle Milo's story. Jack suffering from guilt from a past relationship seeks help at the urging from his sister, Casey and meets Michele for the second time. Jack learns about regret, letting go and never giving up. He's HOT and really knows his way around Michelle's body and the bedroom. Amazing story! Overall quality of writing was great. A kiss wasn't just a kiss, rather an experience you don't want to miss! Casey has her story with Jack's best friend, Nate, in Forbidden Nights. I've read this story before when released as a single. Second time around was as amazing as the first! Better actually, because things made more sense being released in this diet. Casey is a successful, sexy business woman and helps Nate learn to move forward from a past hurt while he teaches her somethings of the hot and steamy intimacy kind. Both have a happy ever after with no cheating or cliffhangers. Enjoy!

The Joy Delivered Duet is two stand alone stories set in the same world by Lauren Blakely. Yes, the worlds cross over as it tells the stories of how both a brother and a sister find their happily ever afters. Both are the CEO of the company they have founded Joy Delivered.
The bottom line with this Duet not only is it well written, but it has memorable characters, combustible chemistry and a world I never wanted to leave.
PS - Sebastian York only brinks these books to life. His performance is spot on and I can't wait to listen to more from Lauren with Sebastian narrating.

This is a great duet. I loved this set, the storyline was great with just a little angst to keep it extra interesting.
Each book is about a different couple but has the same characters in them. I love this author and the audiobook is great. Sebastian York has that voice that you could listen to all day long, he could read a shopping list and I would still listen.
Grab this one, it's great.

A five star spicy read!
July 15, 2019
Prepare for two scorching hot books combines into one fantastic eargasmic listen.
Nights With Him is Jack and Michelle's story and what a story it is. We have Jack Sullivan who is CEO of Joy Delivered, a sex toy company that provides pleasure to millions of women worldwide. Jack is New York's most eligible hot bachelor and the rag magazines follows him regularly. After his fiance' died in an accident Jack has been the grieving bachelor. It's hard to find someone who doesn't know him as that so when he meets a woman in a bar he is struck with her since she seems to be oblivious to who he is. Michelle Milo is a therapist and a good one but she rarely lets herself enjoy the pleasures of life unless you count the BOBs. When she sees Jack across the bar she is immediately aroused from his handsome looks and fine physical form. When they start a conversation she has no idea where that will lead her and how her future will change.
Next we have Forbidden Nights which is Jack's sister Cassie and his friend Nate's story. Cassie is a strong female that takes what she wants and rarely holds anything back. She has been unlucky with love even though love or pleasure is what she sells with Joy Delivered. Since her brother put her in charge as CEO of the company she has taken it to new heights but she is still struggling with her own love life. Nate Harper is CEO for the Lux hotel and resorts and he is living the bachelor life. After his ex wife ripped his heart out and stomped on his pride he refuses to fall back into that again. He is best friends with Casie so when she ask him to help her to let loose he is happy to help but in the process his true feelings come out.
This series is I'd say one of my all time favorites of Lauren Blakely's. I love everything she writes but this one is off the charts hot and sexy with great characters and storylines that pull you inside their lives. I loved this duet so much and I highly recommend it.
Now with all that said, because the two books together are so good it wouldn't matter who the narrator was, but OH MY GOODNESS to have Sabastian York be the one to tell their stories is off the charts hot. I was seriously in heaven. 5 stars doesn't even come close and to get two for one credit is an added bonus.
I loved everything about this book. Both stories are fantastic and the narration is off the charts good. I received a code to listen and review. I highly recommend it.

4.5 Joy Delivered Stars!
I love that Lauren Blakely has combined these two stories in one Joy Delivered package!
NIGHTS WITH HIM
This story stars Jack, the sexy ex. soldier turned sex toy company CEO. He is NY's most eligible bachelor and darling of the media after his fiance dies a year earlier. We have Michelle Milo who we've met in previous books in the series getting her chance at love. She is a rock star therapist and is extremely talented in helping her clients navigate their relationships and lives. They become the focus of social media which is a problem for a therapist who requires discretion. It is hard for them to stay away from each other because they each awaken strong passion, desire and healing in the other. I fell in love with Jack and Michelle, and the development of both of their characters. I also loved how hot the chemistry is between them along with their dirty talking. Their love scenes and passion is off the charts! We get to see old friends and great new secondary characters along with some drama and mystery that keeps the story flowing. We are also treated to wonderful scenes in Paris that makes you feel like you are really there.
FORBIDDEN NIGHTS
This is Jack's sister, Casey Sullivan, and his best friend, Nate Harper's forbidden romance. They have been intensely attracted to each other for years but haven't acted on it. They both have been burned by love before and don't trust their judgement to find love again. But Casey has hope but has lost her confidence in the bedroom. She asks Nate for lesson's in seduction to use on another. When he agrees, they never expected that their friendship could be the foundation for such passionate and explosive chemistry. But what could go wrong when the end nears and they have to go back to being just friends?
Sebastian York is the perfect choice to bring these dirty talking alpha males and the strong and successful women who love them to life! His comedic timing was spot on, and he easily brings out the range of emotions that these characters go through, making us feel them as well. I love listening to his smooth, expressive voice and getting lost in his storytelling, making these fabulous Blakely romances even better.

I totally enjoyed this entire box set!! Clay, Jack and Nate are really Hot main characters. I enjoyed Clay & Julia's story the most. Great love story. Instant connection between them, and I loved their humorous interactions together. They had a long distance romance to conquer. A passionate couple who "find passion" wherever and whenever the mood struck. Clay Nichols is definitely on my top 10 BBF of 2015!! I loved Jack and Michelle's love story. A torrid one night stand then all changes the next day when they realize that Michelle is the shrink he's agreed to see to help him through some personal issues. They decide that jack should see one of Michelle associates so they can continue seeing each other. Michelle also has issues from an unrequited love, so they decide on a 30 day no strings affair. Can they keep their emotions at bay? I enjoyed their dirty interactions, Michelle is a strong, sexy woman that knows what she needs. Great story!! Finally, Nate and Casey's love story is really sweet. Best friends for years but Nate has lusted after Casey for years but would never take a chance of losing her precious friendship. Nate had a terrible first marriage which ended due to her being unfaithful. Nate has never trusted a woman since with his heart. Casey, a sex toy CEO finds it hard to find a good relationship. She wants Nate to give her submissive lessons in the bedroom so she can relate better with another man. Nate has 4 weeks to teach Casey. He doesn't feel she needs to change at all. They have great chemistry and I just loved this story. I won't give more details, you should just read it yourself and enjoy every page!! Love these box set deals, so nice to read all these related stories!! Great job Lauren Blakely!!

Narrated by: Sebastian York
In need of pure, lustful, funny and fantastic romance? Look no further! Lauren Blakely has put out two of her best books together to listen to! This book features two incredibly sexy stories.
The first is Nights with Him and we meet Jack and Michelle. Jack is the owner of a sex toy company and Michelle is a sex therapist. Both slightly broken, have an attraction that is palpable and when they act on it, is it ever hot! And they act on it a lot! With all the information and toys at their disposal, it's sexy and steamy, but is it headed towards love? With two such work focused people, decisions have to be made, trust earned and we will see if they can work it out!
The second story, Forbidden Nights is wonderful. Meet Nate who have been attracted to Casey forever. His best friend's sister and a very forceful woman, Casey has always been on his mind. And now she is seeking his help to make her more attractive and less aggressive in the bedroom. Where will this end up? With commitment issues and inability to trust, these two have their work cut out for them. Will they find their happily ever after?
I loved this duet. It's a fun listen, low angst, steamy, passionate, great characters and wonderful banter. You can't help but fall in love with it. Then top it off with Sebastian York as the narrator and you will not be able to stop listening. He gives this book his trademark charm with that wonderful voice!

🎧 Audio Review 🎧
I love all things Lauren Blakely but I have to admit, I REALLY love her older hotter books!
I read these books years ago as part of the Seductive Nights series, but honestly this makes so much sense as a duet!
One Night with Her & Nights with Him:
In this book we meet Jack, he is the CEO of a sexy toy company, he is also very dominate and maybe a little bit broken. Michelle (Clay's friend from Seductive Nights) is a Therapist and she is also a little broken. Together these to fix each other. It is very sweet but crazy hot too. These two can't seem to go anywhere without having some sort of sex. Considering his company, you can only imagine the amount of sex toys used in this book lol. I really enjoyed their story and loved that it all came together in 1 book.
Forbidden Nights:
I loved this story, Nate was the perfect guy! He's Casey's closest friend but he wants one night with her. Casey is insecure about her likes and dislikes and that is why he is the perfect guy because he loves everything about her likes and dislikes! Their story is super hot, he's pretty dominate and still lets her control things once in awhile! They have an amazingly hot but still sweet love story.
Sebastian York was amazing as always in both of these books! He is and will probably always be my favorite narrator for romance. Something about that voice just ALWAYS works for me!
