The sexy, emotional sequel to the NYT Bestseller Night After Night…
Their world was passion, pleasure and secrets.
Far too many secrets. But Clay Nichols can’t get Julia Bell out of his mind. He’s so drawn to her, and to the nights they shared, that he can’t focus on work or business. Only her. And she’s pissing him off with her hot and cold act. She has her reasons though-she’s trying to stay … though-she’s trying to stay one step ahead of the trouble that’s been chasing her for months now, thanks to the criminal world her ex dragged her into. If only she can get out of this mess, then maybe she can invite the man who ignites her back in her life, so she can have him-heart, mind and body.
He won’t take less than all of her, and the full truth too. When he runs into her again at her sister’s wedding, they have a second chance but she’ll have to let him all the way in. And they’ll learn just how much more there is to the intense sexual chemistry they share, and whether love can carry them well past the danger of her past and into a new future, after this night…
Please note: The reading order for the Julia and Clay novels in the Seductive Nights series is Night After Night, After This Night, and One More Night.

I love this Series!!! I have read all of Lauren Blakely’s books and yes they are hot but this series is beyond steaming hot! It’s edgy, sexy with a twist of sweetness.
Clay and Julia could not stop thinking about the way they left things the morning in San Francisco. Clay wanted to trust Julia with all his heart and Julia wanted him to feel that he could but she wouldn’t either. They were in deep after such a small about of time…they had it bad for each other and that is what happens when you connect in such an amazing way.
When they see one another again the chemistry is explosive but can their minds catch up with their bodies? It’s all about risks in the game of love….when you share passion and preferences is that all you need to move forward and the rest will come along. Trust. You need it and don’t want to be played. That is what they both wanted to believe that they have found that in each other.
After this Night has everything I love in a novel. The chemistry is amazing and anyone around them can see what they have, crazy passion for one another. An independent woman that doesn’t just take the easy way out. A man that adores his woman. It has excitement outside of the bedroom….I cried, I laughed and I swooned all the way through.
I highly recommend reading this series! Lauren is an amazing writer and how she entwines her characters together from other books is awesome! I love catching up with the other Blakely Boys and their lovely ladies.
Quotes:
“What do you like about the way I kiss you?”
“Everything. Every single thing. Your lips are soft, and your stubble is rough, and you know exactly how to kiss me and make me melt for you,” she said, and something about her voice was different this time;needed, hungrier.
“Don’t get any funny ideas, Mister.” It wasn’t a funny idea. More like a dirty one,” he said with a sly grin.
“You like it when I let you control me, and I like it when you lose control for me.” She whispered.

I purchased Night After Night by Lauren Blakely and this review was given freely.
This 2 book series features bartender Julia who is owner of the Cubic Z and entertainment lawyer Clay. The story relates an east coast/west coast based erotic romance featuring bondage, a mob gambling scam, and an attraction that can’t be denied. One steamy scene after the other unfolds as Julia and Carl draw closer together. Unfortunately, Julia and Carl’s story is written in installment each ending in a cliffhanger.
I loved Julia and Clay’s story.
“Every woman should be jealous of you because of how I feel for you. Because no man has ever wanted a woman like I want you. No man has ever craved a woman as deeply as I crave you. And no man has ever fallen this hard and this fast for a woman.” Oh yes, I am still swooning, love that Clay!!!
I’ve really come to adore these 2- Clay is such a dominate alpha male, with strong convictions; Julia is a feisty, strong, independent woman. Put the two of them together and they are one hot couple.
I love that Julia finally took the risk and opend up to Clay about her troubles, it was just too much for her to continue dealing with on her own. I love that Clay went all protective and wanted to take care of everything for her- he was able to see that it wasn’t like what happened in the past with his ex.
“Allness. That’s what it was for her, too. An utter allness. A love so deep and consuming it filled her organs, it rode roughshod over her skin.”
This book gave us the perfect conclusion to Clay and Julia’s story, but I’m so glad that it’s not really the end for us with them!
Book 2 -read in order!
