This was good but I didn’t get blown away by it.
Good characters descriptions
No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings
Storyline is good but I can’t say it was making me want more.
I don’t know why I couldn’t enjoy it as much as I wanted to…..
4 stars.
The lighter side of Aleatha!
Enjoyed reading it!
You can never go wrong with Aleatha Romig. Don’t miss this bundle!
Plus One- Fun, Flirty and Fluffy- Plus One is all that!! It’s a fun read that will make you laugh, smile, swoon and love. Their is sassiness, great banter, sexilicious fun and it’s a standalone.
Duncan Willis- the Boss, A Player, Charming and Sex on a Stick…….
Kimbra Jones- Beautiful, Works for Duncan, and has fantasies about Sex on a Stick….
Kimbra and Duncan have been work colleagues for 3 years and have never crossed the line, always maintaining a professional relationship. But when Kimbra “blackmails” Duncan for a weekend of being her “Plus One” at her cousin’s wedding, “not real” sexy shenanigans begin where “not real” and “seizing the opportunity” becomes blurred. But pretending in front of Kimbra’s family stirs up “real” feeling in both and the weekend becomes a weekend of first for the two.
Kimbra’s family is awesome and hilarious. Mom, Dad, Grandma Helen, Brother and his wife…..they make for an entertaining weekend when everyone stays together under one roof. Kimbra and Duncan get to really know each other and her family makes it all the better.
The lighter side of Aleatha, Leatha, has managed to write a funny, sweet, sexy love story with a fab HEA. One that makes you smile and laugh and just feel good. While I adore the dark side of this author, a fun and light story is always refreshing and I hope “Leatha” comes out again with another lighter standalone.
Another One- Sweet, fluffy, romantic bliss….. Another One hits the spot. When you need a book to remind you of how romance should be done, look no further. A Secret One is a quick novella that sets up the story for Another One. (But Another One can be read as a stand-alone)
What I enjoy from Aleatha’s lighter side is just the romantic essence. It’s a feel good, make you grin, get lost in romance kind of book. Shana Price and Trevor Willis meet and have a connection. But she lives in London and he lives in the States. Her best friend is marrying his brother. It’s a little complicated……but after a year they see each other in New York and once again…..it’s complicated. Shana and Trevor have two weeks this time instead of 36 hours. When that connection is still there, it’s time to try and see if they really have something or is it lust?
Shana and Trevor’s story is also filled with great secondary characters. They help to sprinkle the story with humor, sharing, loyalty, family and love. While reading, you can’t help but fill the possibility, the hope and the love that all the characters feel for one another. And the courtship between Shana and Trevor is nice and old school. It’s dates and respectfulness, it’s slow and sweet and it’s romantic.
If you want to have a light and fluffy read that makes you smile……Another One will hit the spot!!
Review for: “Plus One”
When Kimbra caught Duncan, her boss, doing inappropriate things in the ladies’ room with a female employee, she confronted him and blackmails him at the same time. Kimbra told Duncan that everything will be forgotten if he’ll agree to be her plus-one to a family wedding this coming weekend.
Duncan seizes the opportunity to be Kimbra’s plus-one, after all, he’s been smitten by her beauty, intelligence and sexiness the first time he saw her walking into his office building and became his employee in the HR department.
The family of Kimbra will provide so many funny moments. The woman in her family has no filters at all, especially Grandma Helen and her electronic toothbrush, lol! Even Duncan is shocked and can’t help laughing with her antics.
While the ladies will keep you smiling, Duncan on the other hand, gave Kimbra her best “O” to date. This is definitely an Aleatha Romig trademark be it dark or light book, the sexy scenes are just hot off the chart. Guaranteed!
There’s no angst in this book, truthfully the lighter side of Aleatha Romig! It was rom-com all the way! Loved it!
Off to read => “Another One (Lighter Ones #2)”
Review for plus one, one of the books in this anthology was a wonderful treat the author of this book normally writes dark which I absolutely love and was pleasantly surprised with this story sometimes we need a break from all the dark reads and this was a refreshing story
As much as I love Aleatha Romig for her dark and twisted books, I also fell in love with her lighter ones. They are fun to read, laugh out loud goodness and of course steamy!! You will enjoy each and every story as Aleatha takes her readers on a lighter journey.
I read these when they came out and I loved each of them. Each review is listed below, I hope you enjoy my reviews and they help you decide to read these yourself. And I hope you love them too.
*Plus One: Kimbra Jones works in HR at a big pharmaceutical company, where every woman wants one of the owners. Duncan Willis is the sexiest man Kimbra has ever seen but she doesn’t let her lust interfere with her job as others do. But in her fantasies, Duncan is the star.
Duncan doesn’t have to chase women, they gladly drop their panties for him, except for Kimbra. When she first walked into his office three years ago, he hasn’t been able to stop dreaming about her.
When Kimbra comes up with the idea to blackmail Duncan after she catches him in the women’s restroom with a woman on her knees, Duncan jumps at the chance to be alone with Kimbra even if it is at her parents home and for her cousin’s wedding.
Can they pretend enough to make everyone believe they gave been dating for months? Will Kimbra lose her heart over the long weekend? Will Duncan realize that Kimbra is exactly what he needs?
This story is wonderful, romantic, funny and you will love Grandma Helen, she is a hoot. If you love Aleatha’s dark stories then you will love this one too. I did and hope there will be more.
*One Night: Amanda Wells is trying to move on with her life, it has been almost five years since she lost her husband and she wants to make the life for her and her son better. She feels guilty anytime she thinks about doing something for herself. When her BFF Sally wants her to go out with her husband’s friend, Amanda doesn’t think it’s a good idea. She finally agrees, can one night with a man make her feel like a woman again? On the night for the blind date, Sally and her husband Brian doesn’t show up because there is an emergency at Brian’s work. Amanda is debating on leaving when she meets Malcolm. A handsome man that leaves her tingling from just his touch. Maybe one night with him is just what she needs.
Malcolm Peppernick is looking to change his life, tired of the retired hockey life and chicks that follow the players. He moves to the town where his old teammate Brian lives. Brian and his wife Sally talk him into a blind date with Sally’s BFF. And you know how blind dates go. But while he is waiting at the bar, a beautiful woman sits down beside him. And after talking to her for a few minutes, he just wants to get to know her better.
Can Malcolm talk Mandy into spending the night with him? Will Mandy tell him her secrets? What happens when they learn who the other really is? Can One Night turn into forever?
I loved everything about this story. It is funny, heartwarming, heartbreaking and perfect. If you haven’t read anything from Aleatha Romig and are looking for a good heartfelt story, then you need to read this one. You will not be disappointed.
*A Secret One: This is a fun, Sexy Quicky with Trevor and Shana and how they met.
Waking up in a different hotel room and not remembering what happened last night, Shana will have to get Trevor to fill in the blanks for her.
Will there be a future for them or maybe just one night together?
I can’t wait to read the rest of their story. This is a quick fun read so sit back and enjoy.
*Another One: This is another one from the lighter side of Aleatha Romig and I loved everything about it. Shana is a strong beautiful career woman and Trevor is the shy strong silent type. Well, he was until he meets Shana. She seems to bring out the talker in him and he wants to see where things go between them.
Trevor works for a firm in New York as an architect, he moves around for his job. While Shana works for Saks, she has been in London for the last couple of years. Now back in New York and maybe for a new job position. Which would be good for them both.
After Shana and Trevor spend every minute together they can before she has to go back to London, can they make a long-distance relationship work? Will Shana be able to leave without having her heartbroken? Can Trevor let her go this time? What will Trevor do to make the relationship work?
This is a fun, sexy and all-around great story. It will have you smiling all the while you are reading and it will leave you with the feelings of love that Trevor and Shana have for each other. So sit back and enjoy this one and I hope you love it as much as I did.
If you are looking for some fun and lighter reading then this is a box set for you. Pick one and enjoy it or read them all.
My Review for Plus One
Oh my Duncan and Kimbra are sizzling off the pages! An amazing start to this series. A slow burn that ignites when Kimbra needs a plus one and coerces her boss to be just that. Little does she know that he has a hidden agenda and things might go from pretend..to fantasy to oh my word this fees way to real!!
It is a fabulously fun, sexy , witty romantic comedy with an amazing set of characters . I could not get enough of grandma Helene ..she is the bombdiggity!!
~~Michele McMullen ~~
My Review for Another One
Oh my word I fell in Love with Another One.
Travis and Shana have a sizzling attraction that pulls them together at a wedding. They go their separate ways …which is miles apart!! They try to stay connected by phone but Shana soon realizes a long distance connection may not work. A chance meeting in New York and they soon realize that it is something they cannot deny. Travis is a swoon worthy book boyfriend and Shana is beautiful inside and out ! Loved them and their cast of characters that surround them!
~Michele McMullen ~~
I swear, if Aleatha Romig wrote the phone book (remember those?), it would be a best seller! I will always, always read anything she writes. I love her dark and twisty stories, but I love her lighter side too. In other words, you can’t go wrong!
A SECRET ONE Steamy-hot great read! You won’t be able to put it down. Aleatha’s skill for writing the unexpected is extraordinary!
These books are a totally different side of Aleatha and I love them! Fun, sexy and a good time
I’ve read ALL of these stories from Aleatha Romig and LOVED each of them! Each one is a delightful, fun read in its own right. Feel free to check out my individual reviews on Goodreads and Bookbub. Having the complete collection all together in one offering is just a PHENOMENAL gift for a reader. This is the perfect collection of stories to distract you from these turbulent times we’re experiencing right now. DO NOT MISS THIS ONE!!
*Previously read/listen books separately.
Plus One (Lighter Ones, #1):
3 stars
I listened to the audio and the female narrator sounded older then the actual character. Otherwise this was an ok read for me, maybe I wanted a bigger conflict? I look forward to the other ones though.
A Secret One (Lighter Ones #1.5):
4 stars
Ohhhhh, this is a setup novella I haven’t read in a while that will lead into the couples book “Another One”. Damn, Trevor I can’t wait to see the type of man he will play out to be. How will this couple evolve while living across the pond from each other? I can’t wait to find out.
Another One (Lighter Ones #2):
3 stars
Another One has such a slow burn, that if you’re into those types of books, this one has that. I’m not sure if I’m partial to them or not, but for some reason I wanted things to happen a lot sooner. Especially when Trevor and Shana are to see each other again. Unfortunately, I wanted a faster pace in the story, but overall, it was good, light, read.
One Night (Lighter Ones #3):
3 stars
Overall: 5 stars
Plus One: 5 stars
Great story. Plenty of inappropriate activities. Lots of hot, steamy scenes. Even an uncomfortable moment or two. But almost exclusively light and friendly.
One Night: 5 stars
An endearing story. A wary widow with a young son and a maturing ex-jock. Lots of hot, steamy scenes. and she has the stereotypical sailor’s mouth during those scenes.
A Secret One: 4 stars
An amusing introduction to Shana and Trevor with a few tidbits about Kimbra and her family.
Another One: 5 stars
The reuniting of Shana and Trevor seems to take forever. But, once they get back together, the story soars. Lots of hot, steamy scenes.
