Late Shift

by Alexa Sinclaire

She knew his name. He was always on the late shift at the construction site she walked past every night on the way home from work. Beyond that, he was a mystery. None of that stopped her from inviting him up to her apartment every night and letting him give her the best orgasms she’d ever had. She couldn’t trust herself to give him anything else. And he never asked for more.


He knew it wasn’t right—night after night he walked her home during his break and she always let him have her, anyway he wanted. She never said no, never turned him away, and she brought him apple pie to top it all off. He knew she deserved more but he wasn’t sure he could give it to her.


When disaster hits, can they confess that they both wanted more?

Pero claro que tenía que leerme una de las recomendaciones de mis amigas en este día de San Valentín.
Erótico, cortito e instalove.
Sin esperar mucho de la trama se entretiene uno más.

A short and spicy read!



Tilda is on her way home from working another late shift at the diner. She's gotten used to her work hours but the walk back to her apartment at two in the morning isn't ideal. It's dark, cold, and not really the safest place for a young woman to be by herself. When she passes a busy construction site and two men harass her, Tilda begins to get nervous.

Enter: Ryan, her knight in a shining fluorescent work vest. Tilda immediately feels drawn to the mysterious man who saves her and offers to walk her home. And when she reaches her apartment, she can't help but invite him inside for some hot cocoa. But the cocoa isn't the only thing that steams up the night. One thing leads to another and a hot love affair ensues!

This is a novelette, so of course, things move quickly. However, I must say that I was surprised by how our main couple's relationship stayed mostly physical throughout the story. Emotions only really took over in the last few scenes. This was entirely believable to me. It was insta-lust that grew into something deeper, which I can appreciate a lot more than insta-love.

There is a little bit of backstory given that I thought was just the right amount. There was a good balance in the story as the POV shifts between Tilda and Ryan. The conflict made my own stomach lurch and even though I am happy with the ending, I still am curious as to how a certain "someone" knew so much about Ryan and Tilda's relationship. That part wasn't really explained.

In closing...
A chance encounter leads to a passionate rendezvous. Four suns!

Tilda Delcore was working the late shift at the diner. After her shift, she walked home 6 blocks, in the cold. She didn't get off until 2 a.m. and she didn't really mind the first 4 blocks because it was commercial properties, but those last 2 blocks, she dreaded. She's had boyfriends before but the sex was always mediocre. She decided she was going to hold out for more when it came to men. She's walking by the construction site and she's just looking at what they are doing and then it happens......cat calls and whistling! UGH! One construction worker yells at the two doing their cat calling and decides, after talking to Tilda, he'll walk her home. Oh boy, will walk change her life!!

Ryan is working on a construction site when a gorgeous lady walks by at 2 a.m. Immediately Gerry and Rick start whistling and saying rude things to her. So what else could Ryan do but intervene. He decides to be a gentleman and walk her home. When they get to her place she invites him in for hot chocolate! Ryan is thinking is that code for sex?

Can a white trash girl, who only seems to attract losers, find the "right guy" by walking home every night after her late shift ends? Ryan was looking to get lucky that night and he did, but will it turn into more than that? What happens when big mouth Gerry screws it all up!?

Although this was a very quick read, it was packed full of steaminess and a whirlwind romance! I fell in love with Ryan and I wish we could have gotten to know him better. I thought it was very well written and I really enjoyed it. I'd give it a 4.5 stars, just because I wanted it to be longer! :)

For a short little waiting room read I found this story satisfying and sexy. If you don't mind reading with a blush on your face in public, then right on. otherwise I'd read it in the comfort of your own home. Everything needed out of a good book was incorpreted into this little slice of a book. We had the sex, the falling in lust/love, and we had a conflict.

Tilda is on the late shift at the diner and walks 6 blocks home late at night. When she stumbles upon a new construction site a white night saves her from his lewd Co workers. and from there it just turns into more.
