A sexy category romance novella from Entangled’s Brazen imprint…
When it comes to sex, good girl Skyler Thompson always plays it safe, choosing stable and sedate over wild and thrilling. She doesn’t do one-night-stands, but one look at sinfully sexy Gage Holt and she’s willing to reconsider. He makes her want to be bad for once in her life, and she’s prepared to take what she wants.

Danger follows former MMA fighter Gage Holt like a shadow. Despite his successes as part owner of Sin, an exclusive nightclub in Boston, Gage can’t risk getting involved with a woman, especially one as sweet as Skyler. Still, he can’t resist a taste—and it’s so damn good he has to see her again.

As addicted as he is to her, Gage knows there’s no future for him and Skyler—not with his past lurking in the dark corners of an MMA cage. But Skyler’s tougher than she looks, and she’s ready to fight for her man.

Yes, my friends, it’s time for another Entangled review! This time of a Brazen title which, as you might already know, means plenty of scintillating and steamy sexual encounters. I especially love Brazen novellas, because they always pack a delectable amount of hot men, lust fueled banter, and just enough story line in to make me want so much more. These novellas are a tease, and I mean that in the best way possible.

Gage is exactly the type of man that I love to read about. While I love a “knight in shining armor” character just as much as the next girl, I can’t deny there’s a very real part of me that loves a bad boy. Understand, please, that I don’t mean a chauvinistic asshole. There’s entirely too many of those floating around in the book world to count. What I mean is a man who isn’t afraid of his raw sexuality. Gage is pure testosterone when he’s turned on. There are times when the “sexy” things that come out of a male character’s mouth make me laugh. They just sound so ridiculous. In Gage’s case? I heard those words in my head, and felt it as they burned into my core. Gage is hot, plain and simple. This reader fully approves.
Skyler compliments him perfectly. She’s that sweet, unassuming woman I love. The one that blends in to the background, but who you know that you’d definitely be friends with in real life. Skyler is funny. She’s honest. Best of all, she’s not afraid to take chances. I liked her character a lot, and I was so happy that I didn’t have to wait long for things to heat up between her and Gage. These two didn’t necessarily have chemistry, since this novella makes things move lightning quick, but they definitely had a connection. If, like me, you’re a huge fan of pulse-pounding, blush-inducing sex scenes, you’re in for a treat.
Don’t feel like this is all sex and no story though. I was pleased with the story line that ran underneath Gage and Skyler’s attraction. I was curious to find out more and, honestly, I would have happily read a full book featuring these two. The ending was particularly adorable, and I won’t deny that I sighed audibly upon reaching it. If you’re looking for something short, sweet, and undeniably seductive, check out One Night of Sin. You won’t regret it!
