Lauren is a relationship phobe after seeing her parents divorce at a young age and being in the centre of it as a bargaining chip. A one night stand may well turn into more as she sees him at the vets office when her “looking after” cat seems poorly. I can see why Lauren didn’t want anything to do with Jonothan after the way her parents were during their divorce. A good story and I liked that it was short.

Cute
It's a good, simple, short romance. The characters are like the story, cute, tender, but perhaps more complex than the plot of the story. Jonathan, the vet might be just too perfect :)

Blame it all on Cosmo the cat
DATING YOUR ONE NIGHT STAND: is the eighth book in the CURVY GIRLS' GUIDE series and it is a light, delicious, fun and smexy short story that will leave a smile on your face while you also blush a little. The story is about Lauren Knight, a single woman who does not do date but still hooks up when she needs some between the sheets fun. Her reasons for this attitude stem from her parents bitter divorce and then working as a paralegal for the best divorce firm in the city. Such is life and she does not apologize for the way she lives. But that is about to change when she comes face to face with her latest one night stand, you know the one she snuck out on while he was asleep. She is looking after a client's cat, Cosmo, when she needs a vet and in walks Dr. Jonathan Davison, the man she just left in bed. Jonathan as it turns out has other ideas besides checking over Cosmo....he wants more time with Lauren as he knows there is something between them, more than just a tumble in the sheets. I guess you could say "blame it on Cosmo", the cat not the drink.

It can be a fun twist when it’s the woman that wants one night and the man that was really hoping for more. That what happens in this curvy girl romance about Lauren and Jonathan. All she plans for is one night while he felt like they made a deeper connection. A fussy cat brings them across each other’s paths again when the cat she’s cat sitting needs to see a vet, and who do you think the vet ends up being? The sweetest and most patient vet ever, Jonathan. When she finds out he needs a date to an awards banquet, she’s more than willing to break her rule and see him again. Will two nights turn into more? Or is he destined for a heartbreak? There’s more going on beneath the surface for sweet and sultry Lauren. If he can earn her trust he may just earn her forever.

Lauren isn't interested in a relationship after watching what happened between her parents. She meets Jonathan through an app and they meet up for drinks which turn into something more. She sneaks away before he wakes up the next morning. Jonathan is upset not only because she left but she blocked him on the app. However, everything changes when he walks into an exam room at his vet office and she's there with a cat. Will this give them a second chance to be together?
This is a great story that will captivate you from beginning to end. This is a well written and very entertaining story. Its a book that any book lover would enjoy.

When Jonathan gets a date with Lauren he should have realized that when her handle was 1KnightOnly on the dating app that it meant one night only. When he wakes to find her gone he realizes what the handle really meant. Problem is he fell for her first thing. Instalove on his part. Not thinking he will ever see her again imagine his surprise when she shows up at his vet clinic with an Ill cat. This is such a great short story. Fast paced and steamy and an excellent read. Excellent way to spend an hour. Great read!!.

He thinks she could be the one, but when she sneaks out of his bed in the middle of the night, he is disappointed. Lana has written a story that has one character over coming their personal issues with a hero to support them. This quick read is easy to read and will be one I read again. Can't wait to read the rest in this series.

Taking a Chance on Love . . .
Lauren hasn’t seen any positive picture of “love” out there. She has seen too much of the negative side working as a paralegal for the top divorce firm and seeing her own parents’ marriage turn bad. So she has no interest in long-term relationships. They never last anyway. But meeting Jonathan felt different. Will she accept a date with him? Or will she let her own fears make her turn him away and never know what she could have had?
I loved the characters and the story line was well-paced. Grab your copy and see if Lauren will give Jonathan a chance to prove to her that love is real and worthwhile.

This is book number 8 of the Curvy Girls’ Guide series and focuses on Jonathan and Lauren. Lauren has shied away from relationships and commitments thanks to witnessing how awful her parents divorce was until she meets Jonathan. Jonathan falls for Lauren right away and when she slips out while he’s sleeping, he doesn’t think he’s going to see her again until fate steps in and brings her right back to him. Jonathan was exactly what Lauren needed to let her walls down and experience the greatness that love can give. This was a great story and a great addition to the series.

Lauren is good with just hooking up, avoiding relationship and avoiding the pain. When her met up stirs something inside, Lauren can't help but get away from the man she is in bed with.
Jonathan is woken when the woman he spent the night with leaves, upset that he did not get her info, he is at a loss of seeing her again. But fate plays her hand when Lauren shows up in his vet office.
This is fast read, with emotional and steamy moment as Lauren tried to overcome her past pain and find love with someone who shows her, she is worth it. Great story to get lost in.

Lauren is a divorce lawyer who has seen the bad side of relationships so never wants love. She is only interested in casual one night stands. Jonathan wants to find his one. They meet on a dating app but Lauren sneaks out on him after a wonderful night together. Fate intervenes when the next day she takes the cat she is looking after to the vets and the vet is Jonathan! He takes his opportunity to show her they could be more than one night. Sweet, steamy story. Their chemistry was amazing. Jonathan loved and protected Lauren’s heart, showing her she could trust in love. The HEA was lovely.

I love these short romances by Lana Dash!
They’re short enough to read in a day but you feel like you read a full-length novel. The characters are realistic and “fleshed out”, and the plots are unique. These are not “cookie cutter” romances.
I really liked this one! Jonathan is looking for forever. Matched with Lauren on a dating app, he arranges to meet her in the pub below his apartment.
Lauren does not “do” feelings. She’s only looking to “scratch an itch”, as in “Just1Knight”. Meeting in the pub below her “date’s” apartment is perfect. One drink, a trip upstairs, and home by dawn.
Fate has other plans for these two, though and getting there is half the fun.

I loved DATING YOUR ONE NIGHT STAND: Book 8 of CURVY GIRLS' GUIDE. These books are a quick and easy read. Lauren doesn’t do relationships, she’s had enough “love” in her life to keep it simple. Until she meets Jonathan and suddenly all these feelings make her accept a date, but can she get over her insecurities and let Jonathan in? A great storyline and likable characters. A nice Instalove story with a HEA. I would definitely recommend this book and the whole series.

A very cute and fast paced read. I found the idea of the book very interesting. Lauren is a woman who has guarded her heart every since college when she was humiliated in front of a lot of people when she was bold enough to ask her crush out and he declined in a not so nice way. She also saw what a divorce did to her mother. Jonathan is a great character who sees Lauren for the wonderful person she is regardless of the walls she has put up. This is a fun and fast paced story with a great HEA.

The paralegal meets her match! This is about Lauren and Jonathan. He is a vet, and after their one-night stand, she escaped and blocked him from the dating app; they meet again after the cat she is sitting on is choking (hairball). It’s funny as he is looking forever after, and she is only interested in one night as she works for a divorce lawyer and hasn’t seen a happily ever after, including her parents. The book is funny, and I love the ending – especially the part where the dog gets dressed up!.

I LOVED this book! Lauren is terrified of relationships. She was deeply affected by her parents’s divorce and now works for a divorce attorney. She does not believe in love and happily ever after. Jonathan wants to be the one to change her mind. He is the sweetest guy!
I love this author’s books and while this is a series each book can be read as standalones!.

A ONS that turns into more. Lauren meets her ONS when she takes her friend’s cat to the vet. With the help of his co-worker and some cute animals she decides to accompany him to a dinner celebrating him. Lauren is scared to find love as her past has always told her she wasn’t enough. Now she has Jonathan who sees the love she really has inside. A steamy but sweet story. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Lauren and Jonathan. Chemistry. But Lauren the culprit who left in the early morning. Chem-is-try is what makes the world go round. Good story line. How to open up and make it try to work. No cliffhanger just get ready for the event.

Fast paced love story . Lauren didn’t believe in love anymore thanks to her parents nasty divorce and working with divorce attorney’s and seeing firsthand how horrible people are to people they’re supposed to love.

Loved the play on words throughout this short novella. The characters have chemistry from the get go, that only gets better towards the end. Enjoyed the supporting parts of their friends and the furry ones as well.
