Midnight Kisses

Rate this book
It's New Year's Eve and I would rather be anywhere but here, stuck sharing a hotel room with my enemy.

Senior year of high school, he broke my heart, and I haven’t looked at him the same since.
Who cares if he’s six feet tall, sexy as hell, and the CEO of the company I just accepted a job for? I still hate him.
The silver lining–It’s only one night, and then I never have to see him again.
One night certainly can’t change how I feel about him, right?

I usually like Darcy stories, but this ain't the case.
BDSM, old school colleagues, just for coincidence, she's going to work to his company.
It didn't work for me...

Since this one doesn't have description, it's kinda like this:

"It's New Year's Eve and I would rather be anywhere but here, stuck sharing a hotel room with my enemy.

One overbooked hotel room and two old so called school enemies. The High School jock - Colton and the book smart, nerdy girl - Harper get a chance to put the records straight after getting their wires crossed years ago. With Colton planning to get his night's worth with all of the kinkiness he wants from Harper. Blimey he certainly does that big time. This is a short and steamy read that i enjoyed reading with characters i really liked

This one is short, steamy and totally yummy. The story reads smoothly and keeps you engaged, Lots of sparks and tension between the characters with some rock-solid emotions too. I am electing to post a forthright review.

✨Midnight Kisses de Darcy Rose🎄

Argumento:

🎀Es Nochevieja y preferiría estar en cualquier lugar menos aquí, compartiendo una habitación de hotel con mi enemigo.

En el último año de la escuela secundaria, me rompió el corazón y no lo he vuelto a mirar de la misma manera desde entonces.

¿A quién le importa si mide seis pies, es sexy como el infierno y es el director ejecutivo de la compañía para la que acabo de aceptar un trabajo? Todavía lo odio.

El lado positivo: es solo una noche, y luego nunca tendré que volver a verlo.

Una noche ciertamente no puede cambiar lo que siento por él, ¿verdad?



Mi humilde opinión:


❄️Me gustan los romances con steam y no estoy en contra de los juegos eróticos y hombres dominantes y posesivos pero no disfruté este.

Primero, la razón por la que Harper dice que Colton le rompió el corazón fue para mí entre confusa y tonta. Él le pidió una cita cuando iban a la escuela y Harper lo interpretó como si se estuviera burlando de ella. Una cita la pides sin reírte del otro. Para que ella lo odiara a muerte desde entonces debió parecer como que él no iba enserio. Años después vuelven a encontrarse y esto se aclara rápidamente en una escena picante pero aún aclarado el malentendido, Harper sigue dudando de que él sea serio con ella. Falta de comunicación y la heroína haciéndose la cabeza, algo que odio.

Segundo, no me gustó ninguno de los protagonistas.

Colton era un idiota arrogante. No me gustó que la chantajeara con su puesto de trabajo. Pasó de decirle reina del hielo a diosa en un instante, una mujer que quiere tener porque lo rechazó antes a una que ama con locura. Esta clase de héroe dominante, intenso y oscuro no va conmigo. Principalmente porque le causaba dolor/placer a la heroína. Me sentí incómoda con muchas partes donde él a propósito le causa dolor. El voyerismo y el BDSM tampoco va conmigo.

Harper parecía una mujer inteligente y que nadie la pasaría por arriba. Creí que se la iba a poner difícil a Colton y más porque ella lo odiaba pero... Acepta el arreglo con Colton de acostarse con él una noche para no perder su trabajo y porque todavía se siente atraída por él a pesar de lo que le hizo en el pasado. Enseguida descubre que le encanta ser la sumisa de él y se vuelve una necesitada tonta por Colton cuando no hace mucho decía odiarlo! Ella se olvida que es su enemigo y está impresionada por todo, la tarjeta de crédito, la limosina y el mundo travieso en el club exclusivo que él le muestra.

Esperaba algo más. Se volvió una lectura tediosa que casi abandono. No hay mucho más que Colton y Harper teniendo sexo o observando a otros teniendo sexo. No es una historia que tenga el tema festivo presente tampoco. Solo hay una cuenta regresiva mientras tienen sexo y eso es todo.

Había leído una serie de esta autora que me encantó pero este librito lamentablemente no fue para mí.

Midnight Kisses is an enemies-to-lovers romance, hate-to-love story, opposite attracts, second chance romance, touch her you die, villain out for revenge, BDSM, boss/employee romance, forced proximity, relationship that starts on a bet, steamy AF, taboo, forbidden, passion, kinks, dominance, submission, insta-lust, jealousy, adventure, pleasure and pain, lies, deception, obsession, possessiveness, misunderstandings, dirty talking, and love. It's a standalone full-length romance with no cheating complete with a satisfying happily-ever-after. It's brilliantly written with extraordinary characters and fascinating storyline that captures your attention and keeps you riveted and hooked and turning the pages.
It was mind-blowing, pulse-poundin, utterly addictive and unputdownable.
Harper Adams and Colton Pierce has been rivals since high school. However, they were both crushing on each other. Harper was a nerd and Colton was a popular jock so she didn't thought someone like her would stand a chance with a guy like him. So when he asked her out on date and was laughing like he normally does she thought that he was making fun of her and turn him down. Colton was mad and this also broke Harper's heart because she really liked him. Fast forward eight years later Harper got a job at Pierce Equities she was excited that they went way above her asking plus helping her with temporary boarding she decided to splurge on at The Four Seasons hotel rather than making long two hour drive back home in the country to her parents home. It was New Years Eve and she was looking for to relaxing in bed and order room service. However, when she got to the room it was already occupied and non other than her enemy.
Colton was very verbal abusive and nasty to her all because he was still carrying a grudge from her turning him down eight years prior. He found that he was still attracted to her and wanted to get her out of his system and when he found out that she was his new employee blackmail her to sleep with for one night only unless she lose her job. Harper didn't know that he was now the current CEO but she knew that what he wanted was unethical. But since she was still attracted to him too and she didn't want to prove her mom right she went with it. One night whatever Colton wanted then they walk away from each other. They went to Purgatory and he opened up her eyes to a different world. Colton thought that she would be hooked like all his other women, but he soon realize that Harper was special and one night was will never satisfy his hunger and she was wanted by many men as well which turned him into alpha male. Will they get their HEA? Will Harper get over her low self esteem and realize that Colton only have eyes for her? What will happen with no employee-to-boss relationship relationship rules? Will Colton relocate from his home to be with Harper?

I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.

Harper is ready for her life to begin, her senior year at high school she’d had so many dreams but when her father became unwell she put her life on hold and helped her mum, she had dreamt of going to Columbia university but had ended up completing her schooling at community college. It’s New Years Eve and she has just been offered her dream job at Pierce Industries, but all she dreams of right now is a long hot bath and quiet night in her hotel room so when finally gets to her room and finds a very naked man just getting out of the shower, she’s shocked to say the least and surprise number two is that the naked man is the one who broke her heart when she was nothing more than a shy bookworm in high school and he was the jock everyone wanted. Only he manages to go one better when she learns that he’s her new employee but only if she agrees to a night with him, a night of no limits. Does Harper know what she’s agreeing too and will she be able to not fall in love with him for the second time?

Colton Pierce took over the family business when his father retired and has taken it to a new level with a lot of hard work, needing to check out things at one of the new offices on New Years Eve. Checking into the Four Seasons hotel and enjoying his shower was first on the agenda, so imagine his surprise when after his shower he discovers a woman in his room and not just any woman but the only woman that rejected him in high school Harper Adams and she is still as beautiful as she was in high school. He still wants her and this time he’s going to have her, gone is the shy bookworm and he wants to find out who this Harper is and how far she’s willing to go to keep her new job. Will she accept his one night only offer and give him the chance to finally work her out of his system, and come midnight will he really be able to let her walk away?

Super steamy New Year story of two people that got their wires crossed eight years ago but now have a a second chance at what could be. Highly recommended 4.5* read.

Harper intelligent just landed an amazing well paying job, wanting to celebrate but not celebrate with others just herself by getting a room at the Four Seasons soaking, maybe grabbing a great book and that is her dream of bringing in the New Year but fate has other ideas because when she gets to her room there is someone there already in the shower no less. Colton sexy as all get out ex. who broke her heart walking out of the shower to find his ex. in his room but not just that they learn that the company who just hired her belongs to him but he also remembers high school. Due to a mix-up with the hotel they are stuck in the same room together just as fate intended staying together but will they both see the second chance that fate is giving them because the attraction is definitely still there and neither of them can ignore the magnetic pull between them so where will this one night lead them, will she agree to be with him at the club, can he explain what, or why he did what he did in high school, will she forgive him, will he wake up a side of her that she didn’t know existed, and will it lead them to something more than just one night?.

I liked this over the top second chance love story a lot. It was different, entertaining, and enjoyable. The characters were interesting, adventurous, and likable. Harper and Colton ran into each other in a cringeworthy and slightly scary way. Colton decided that he was going to “have” Harper as he’d wanted to when they knew each other before. Harper was floored but also intrigued by Colton’s offer/demand. Once the terms were agreed upon things hit the fast lane in a huge way. The instantaneous relinquishing of decision making blew me away. Colton seemed like he was out to see just how much he could shock Harper and get her to allow him to do. I had a hard time understanding the motivation for either of them let alone the complete surrender that seemed to happen. It didn’t stop me from enjoying the story, I just couldn’t relate. There was a tiny bit of drama and angst but it was super tiny. There was plenty of steam and a little sweetness. I liked how the story ended although I would have liked another epilogue further out. I recommend reading this book.

Harper is so excited about her new job and decides to splurge on her hotel room to celebrate. She is lucky to score any room on New Year's Eve especially one at a luxury hotel. Except when she enters the room she sees luggage at the foot of the bed and the shower running.

When an angry and very naked man comes charging from the bathroom she is looking at her worst nightmare. The boy who broke her heart during their senior year of high school is not only very grown up but turns out to be the CEO at her new job.

And now he is giving her an ultimatum... spend the night sharing the room and doing all he commands or leaving with no other room options available in the city.

I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. This book is action-packed from start to finish and full of angst. If you are looking for a smoking hot book full of kink look no further. Highly recommend.

Harper is finally on her way of making a life for herself with a great job to start she finds herself on New Year's ready to relax, but when she walks into her hotel room the last thing, she expects is Colton. Colton is the guy that shattered her heart in high school, the one she never got over, and now the one in her hotel room. Colton is shocked to see Harper after all these years because she is the only girl to ever turn him down, but now he has the perfect opportunity to have her and show her what she missed out on. The chemistry is intense between them, and their misunderstanding finally comes to light, but not until Colton is a jerk to her. At first, I wasn't a fan of his arrogance towards her, but he more than makes up for it later on. This quick read is scorching hot, intense, and leave you breathless.

I loved Midnight Kisses. Harper just landed an amazing job. She treated herself to a night at the Four Seasons to celebrate. She wasn’t expecting to find him in her hotel room, Colton, the boy turned man who broker her heart and is now her new boss. A mixup at the hotel that can’t be fixed finds them making a deal for one night together but will one night be enough? Colton pushes her limits but it’s more amazing than Harper could have expected. Can there be a future for them past one night? Such an amazing storyline and characters. I really enjoyed this book and I would definitely recommend it.

If you love second chances romance (more like life-changing lust) with exhibitionism and voyeurism, you're definitely in for a treat with this one!

Oh, my god. I absolutely LOVE Darcy Rose's books - and especially the male leads. I like her female leads too, but the men, oh man, the men I 100% love. They're all imperfectly perfect in their own unique ways.

This was a short New Year's Eve story with a plot twist I definitely hadn't expected, where Colton ties a leash around Harper's neck and takes her to a private club where he fucks her in front of everyone - don't worry, people, it's all consensual! And the 'show' Harper gave him in the shower on his orders? That was incredibly hot too.

A short and steamy holiday read that will leave you wanting more.

How unexpected when you walk into your hotel room on New Year's Eve and come across a naked man who you know?
At the time of her senior year, he was her secret crush until he asked her out with a smile and she knew he was tricking her. From that moment on she hated him. But love and hate seem to be intertwined when he takes her to his BDSM club and makes her see and feel things she didn't expect. That submission to him and sex in public turned her on.

I ate this up in one sitting. It was a short quick paced read full of spice. When the drastic part hit right at the beginning, I expected things to go one way and instead was delightfully surprised at the direction it went.

The characters had history with each other, which made it fun to see their versions of their memories of that time and added to the tension of their feelings. While there was minimal brought up about the past, families, other aspects of a world, there was plenty to give everything life.

I loved this story. It is a second chance romance and it is short and sweet. Harper just recently got a job at a company. She goes back to her hotel room and finds someone in her room. That person is a man she spent a long time trying to forget, Colton. They try and get the hotel to figure out what happened when Colton finds out she works for his company he tells her he won’t fire her if she spends one night with him following his every word. They go to a BDSM club and have some fun before midnight. They novella was so good and the spice was HOT!.

Steamy Second Chance Romance!

Harper can’t believe it when she gets to her hotel room only to find a naked man! And a naked man that she knows and has a past with that isn’t good.

The hotel double booked the room and now Harper is stuck with Colton for the night. They had a misunderstanding in the past that left some angst between them. Now forced in close proximity, their mutual attraction and chemistry is too much to deny. The steam and spice in this story was well done with a bit of wild thrown in. Overall, a well written and entertaining story.

Harper was just offered a job at an amazing firm on New Year’s Eve. She decides to stay in the hotel overnight and enjoy room service before going back home tomorrow. Unfortunately Harper is in the same hotel room as a class mate from high school. This class mate although they worked together on a project she believed he made fun of her behind her back. Colton is the CEO of the company she was just hired for. Since they are stuck in the same room for the night Colton threatens Harper. She must do anything he wants or he will fire her. This is a very steamy, hot, sexy short story. Quick read but ver enjoyable.

Harper is on cloud nine she just got a new job in the city and is staying at hotel for NYE. When she gets to her room, she finds a man already in there, he is someone she knows, the one who broke her heart.

Colton is also head of the company she just hired on at, he makes he an offer she cannot refuse. One night in exchange for keeping her job.

Will it just be for one night? Or can they possibly build on more? This is a real steamy read, with voyeurism and exhibitionism.

This book focuses on Colton and Harper. Harper is thrilled when she lands a great job and decides to treat herself at a hotel. Things are great until she gets to the room and runs into the person who broke her heart in the past and finds out their rooms were double booked. Turns out that Colton is Harper's boss as well. Things move quickly for them and after some spicy time they finally get their second chance at their happily ever after. This was a great second chance story!.

Harper enters her hotel penthouse only to come face to face with a naked man Colton. They are both booked in the same room. But Colton is no stranger, she realizes she knows him, her high school crush. These two have a spark, banter, then their agreement. The sexual intensity explodes into a steamy night of seduction and declaration. Ringing in the new year sexy style. I received this copy and my review is voluntary

When she gets to her room she finds that they've double booked it and there's no other rooms left. She also finds that she knows the man there, Colton. They are from the same hometown and they've found each other again. Will he be able to convince her that they had a misunderstanding in their past?

I thought that this was a good book. I enjoyed the tension, banter, connection and chemistry that Harper and Colton. These two finally get a chance at love after 8 years but it is not smooth sailing for these two. I really enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to what Darcy has in store for us next.

Harper and Colton find themselves booked into the same room with no other vacancies. They knew each other in high school and had mutual crushes but through a misunderstanding nothing happened. He decides to take charge. This is a smokin hot story with some kink. The author moves the story quickly and smoothly with her vividly painted scenes and delivers a hot read.

Ringing in the New Year

Harper just landed a new job, now she’s looking forward to a quiet New Years Eve. Unfortunately, her hotel room is over booked, and her high school nemesis Colton is just coming out of the shower. Parts of this story were great - their time at the club Purgatory were HOT - but I had trouble with Colton - in short, he was a tool. His behaviour at the beginning was unpleasant and he doesn’t quite redeem himself. A decent read.

Midnight Kisses is a hot, steamy story that will have you melting as Colton has a second chance by fate to show Harper what she meant to him when they were in school and has not changed after the years.

Colton is hot, strong and dominate. Harper is just starting out, but being with Colton has both of them feeling more than they ever knew.

I really enjoyed this book, I liked the storyline and the characters had a good connection... I'm not gonna lie I wasn't expecting it to be as spicy as it was, but man, did I love that! I liked that the main characters knew each other from when they were younger so the pace of the relationship was more believable. I liked that even though it had a more naughty spicy side that their growing romance was still a main star in this story and you got what you needed with the ending, a happy one!.
