Jase Banner is brash, brutal, and British. Jase has a pickup or risque response for every word out of any woman's mouth, or so he thinks. Jace also fancies himself God's gift to women because of the size of his...at eight inches (he’s way too enamored with it himself). Jaseism #1 - "All women lie. They just lie better on their backs."
Suddenly, after this womanizer has been working as a private eye with clearly no conscious, his latest job finds him ensnared with junior real estate agent Chloe Archer (some B.S. about her soulful eyes). Unfortunately for Jase, Chloe is engaged to one of the richest men (yet another horrible person with money) Maxwell Mainwaring (this last name is awful). When Chloe meets Jase, she realizes she is attracted to him and his dirty talk, although she plays coy. Jaseism #2 - "Your lips can lie all they want, but your body always tells the truth."
On and on it goes throughout this short novella that is achingly predictable where the story is headed with innuendo on every page. Max is the cold, calculating cad we expect, and Jase is the better man in this story even though both have betrayed Chloe. After all the drama, there is still a HEA! Of course, you have to read the next book in the series, Two Rules. One Temptation has the nerve to be a dreaded cliffhanger! Author Roxy Sloan tricked me into moving on to Two Rules with the unfinished ending in One Temptation.
I'm a bit on the fence with this one (closer to thumbs down). I definitely can't say I liked it, but my curiosity about how this is going to turn out has gotten the better of me to read book two. SUCKER I am! I’m sure I’ll regret it as my eyes are bleeding now. Numerous editing and grammatical issues. The dirtier the dialogue, the worse the editing.

Predictable, reads like a male sex doll fantasy. The guy thinks he's a gift to the world and there's only one woman angelic enough for him.

If I had to sum up my experience in one line: this book was so bad it was good.
I picked it up unexpectedly and read it in one sitting, and honestly, that says a lot. Roxie Sloane clearly was trying to set out to write something that mixed story, past, and emotional depth with raw sexual tension… but very quickly, lust overtook everything else. The plot had genuine potential — the kind of setup that could’ve easily turned into a gripping story about motives, character development, and hidden pasts. But instead, the book leaned all the way into smut, never really slowing down to let the characters breathe.
And here’s the thing: I didn’t hate it. In fact, I kind of loved it for what it was. It wasn’t what I’d call a “good” book, but it was a perfect slump-buster. Quick, spicy, completely indulgent, and just self-aware enough to not take itself too seriously. Sometimes, you need a book that doesn’t ask for much in return — and One Temptation was exactly that.
Would I recommend it? Not if you’re looking for layered storytelling or nuanced characters. But if you want a fast, unapologetic smutty ride with just enough of a tease of a story to keep you curious — this will deliver.
📖 Final Rating: 3⭐️ — a gift for being terrible yet entertaining in exactly the right way.

Lovely easy read, fantastic cliffhanger that has had me dashing to the next book to see where the story goes.
Private eye is employed to get the dirt on a client, as his employer is a rich spoilt millionaire who he believes wants to know that his Fiance is faithful. Little does he know that the Fiance is having doubts about her relationship. She’s a lovely girl whose honest and faithful. The sex in this story is very hot, lots of dirty talk, and I found some realism, whereby passion overtakes and turns people into something else, then the morning after, the embarrassment of what occurred, as that’s just not you.
I found this authors style easy to read and definitely easy to loose myself into someone else’s world.

This was a fun take on the old trope of guy hired to investigate girl but falls for girl instead. It had some predictable moments but was still good. And the expected cliffhanger of when she finds out he was hired did happen but the other twist made it interesting and enough for me to want to read the second book. I liked Chloe and Jase and seeing him open her up and her soften him was nice.

I've enjoyed many of Sloan's series over the years but this one felt formulaic and sleazy versus her usual sexy and erotic. I didn't enjoy the plot or any of the characters. I'm genuinely disappointed

An ok read. Had the potential to be an interesting read but Jase was too arrogant and cocky.

Pure smut, and sometimes that’s exactly all you want to read. It does have a cliffhanger, which is always a little annoying.
