Seductive Nights: The Standalone Novels is a box set of the two New York Times Bestselling standalone novels in the wildly popular SEDUCTIVE NIGHTS series by bestselling romance author Lauren Blakely.
NIGHTS WITH HIM
Jack Sullivan is a Sex Toy Mogul.
An extremely eligible bachelor in New York, he’s the full package, right down to his full package. Hell, this man could be the model for one of … man could be the model for one of the toys his company, Joy Delivered, peddles. Instead, he’s the powerful and successful CEO and he’s got commitment issues a mile-long after the tragic way his relationship with his fiancée ended.
He’s looking for a way to erase the pain and that arrives in the form of Michelle Milo. From her pencil skirts to her high heels, she’s his perfect fantasy, especially since she has no idea who he is the night they meet at a hotel bar. He doesn’t have a clue either that she’s the brilliant psychologist his sister has arranged for him to see to help him get over his past.
His touch helps her forget that other man.
When he shows up at her office door the next day, there’s no way in hell she’s going to treat him after they’ve slept together. Jack isn’t willing to let go of the first woman he’s felt anything for in years so he proposes a deal – share her nights with him for thirty days. At the end of one month of exquisite pleasure, they walk away, having helped each other move on from their haunted pasts.
But soon, all those nights threaten to turn into days as the lines between lust and matters of the heart start to blur. Can two people so terribly afraid of love truly fall head over heels?
FORBIDDEN NIGHTS
She has been the star of his dirty dreams for years.
Sexy hotel CEO Nate Harper has lusted after his good friend Casey Sullivan for a long time, and she’s cried out his name in pleasure countless times in his fabulously filthy fantasies. But even though he’s quite skilled at pleasing a woman, he won’t act on his intense desire because he knows he’s no good for her. After the kind of hurt his ex inflicted on him, he’s a committed playboy for life, and Casey only wants true love.
All that changes one hot night when she comes to him with a proposition he can’t resist — she wants him to teach her to be submissive in the bedroom. Casey soon learns how very much she likes letting go of control to him. She’s never been more turned on in her life than she is in Nate’s arms. And he’s never been more taken by a woman.
The only trouble is as she experiences what it means to let go, he starts to experience what it means to feel again…And the lessons in seduction threaten to turn into so much more than either one bargained for…
What happens when years of desire and lust ignite a passion that can’t be denied?

The Joy Delivered Duet
By: Lauren Blakely
Narrated by: Sebastian York
In need of pure, lustful, funny and fantastic romance? Look no further! Lauren Blakely has put out two of her best books together to listen to! This book features two incredibly sexy stories.
The first is Nights with Him and we meet Jack and Michelle. Jack is the owner of a sex toy company and Michelle is a sex therapist. Both slightly broken, have an attraction that is palpable and when they act on it, is it ever hot! And they act on it a lot! With all the information and toys at their disposal, it’s sexy and steamy, but is it headed towards love? With two such work focused people, decisions have to be made, trust earned and we will see if they can work it out!
The second story, Forbidden Nights is wonderful. Meet Nate who have been attracted to Casey forever. His best friend’s sister and a very forceful woman, Casey has always been on his mind. And now she is seeking his help to make her more attractive and less aggressive in the bedroom. Where will this end up? With commitment issues and inability to trust, these two have their work cut out for them. Will they find their happily ever after?
I loved this duet. It’s a fun listen, low angst, steamy, passionate, great characters and wonderful banter. You can’t help but fall in love with it. Then top it off with Sebastian York as the narrator and you will not be able to stop listening. He gives this book his trademark charm with that wonderful voice!

This is a great duet. I loved this set, the storyline was great with just a little angst to keep it extra interesting.
Each book is about a different couple but has the same characters in them. I love this author and the audiobook is great. Sebastian York has that voice that you could listen to all day long, he could read a shopping list and I would still listen.
Grab this one, it’s great.
NIGHTS WITH HIM
I met Jack a few weeks before reading Nights With Him in the prequel One Night With Her and I could not wait for more because they are one hot couple! This takes place the moment the prequel ended….
Jack and Michelle had one amazing night of pleasure and planned on even more but what they didn’t expect was to meet in her office the next morning. He was there for his first appointment with a shrink to help him move on from his past. Michelle is a professional and also a woman with needs so she very well could not treat him but she could help him in other ways. She was also trying to move forward from her past, heartbroken from loving a man for a decade that she never told until it was too late. It would not have worked anyway….he did not feel the same.
They both knew they were not ready to be in a relationship, Jack needed to figure out if he was able to live and Michelle needed to mend her broken heart and protect it. But that did not mean they could not enjoy each-other and when Jack gave Michelle a proposal to have 30 days of pleasure and then move on, she agreed. He brought out after-hours Michelle and she loved it, craved it even so she could not say No.
During the 30 day agreement Jack and Michelle heat up and it gets better daily. He possesses her body without having to tie her down to the bed but with his touch and promises of pleasure. And what he gets in return is her, the hellcat after hours Michelle and she is also someone that wants just Jack. The Jack that not everybody sees. Can they keep their relationship to a sex-only one? Will they just walk away after 30 days? Can Jack Love and can Michelle get over Clay and open her heart again?
I love Jack and Michelle. He is a dirty talking sexy businessman that is keen to giving pleasure. She is a independent, smart, sexy and one sharp dressing woman with a blunt mouth.
Of course in Lauren Blakely fashion there are twists and more to the story then just sex and emotion. In this one she has added business and politics. And you will also catch up with past characters which is always fun. I can’t wait to see what happens next in the Seductive Night Series.
Quotes:
No one had sung her praises like this man, and she was greedy. He was like dessert without the calories. He was the cake and chocolate and everything delicious in the universe.
She swatted him playfully. “You are a cocky bastard. Trying to use all those orgasms against me.”
“I would never use an orgasm against you. I only use orgasms for good. In fact, I think more orgasms could bring about world peace.”
“The more you come, the less you fight.”
M: I hope it’s not work that involves other people.
J: Why not?
M: Because I wouldn’t want them to see what I’m about to do to you.
FORBIDDEN NIGHTS
I have read every novel written by Lauren and I love each and every one for different reasons. Each story is unique, sexy, sweet and full of suspense. The Seductive Nights Series is more erotic than the others and each one getting hotter and hotter! Clay, Jack and Nate…oh my, what a sinfully sexy trio!
Nate and Casey have been best friends for years. They are both workaholics, Nate is the CEO of a luxury hotel that has locations all over the world and Casey is the CEO of a high class sex toy company, one that she started with her brother, Jack. Nate and Casey talk about everything from business ideas to shampoo.
Nate has lusted after Casey for about the same amount of years but the friendship is way too important to him. He knows that he is not for Casey, she wants real love and he can not give it. He had it once and he ended up hurt and he is not ready to try again not even with Casey, he does not want to hurt her.
Casey is amazing in business but not in relationships. That is what she has been told anyway. She likes to be in control and with the men she has been with that has been a problem. They wanted the control especially in the bedroom. When a potential suitor has come along and he would definitely want that control, she has a proposition for her best friend. She wants him to teach her to be submissive in the bedroom. To help her let go of her control…
Nate doesn’t think Casey should change the way she is but he would do anything for her and this might help him get her out of his system. He has four weeks to be her teacher and he was not going to waste anytime. He had lessons to go over with his student that he couldn’t wait to start. Nate was not a Dom, he wanted Casey to be wild and free but he would give her want she wanted and it was sexy as hell. Casey had never been so turned on and she didn’t know if it was the way she let go of her control or if it was because it was Nate.
When things start to feel different between them Casey wasn’t sure if Nate was playing his role or being real. They didn’t want to lose their friendship and do anything to make it awkward. But what happens when jealously develops and the 4 weeks up? Will they go back to be just friends, lovers, or something more? Or will Casey decide to go take up another offer?
I can go on and on about Nate and Casey! Their friendship is amazing, their chemistry is off the charts and their humor is the icing on the cake. They just get each-other. They can go from having fantastic sex to making jokes within seconds. Nate is sexy, sweet and then throw in his alpha side and it makes up my favorite Blakely Boy in the series. And Casey is a badass business woman with a blunt and sassy mouth. I would love to be her friend.
One of the many things that I love about Lauren’s novels are the connections. You will see what is going on with many past characters from other series and even future ones 🙂
I laughed, swooned, got heated and cried. I have cried in every one of the books but I cried the most in this one.
Quotes:
“I only have one goal now. To give you the kind of kiss that makes you hot and wet and desperate for more.”
“Oh well, if Christian and Ana did it this way, we should too,” he said dryly.
She tasted divine, like sin and sex and the woman he craved ceaselessly.
I enjoy that you can read two books in one. Lauren writes a wonderful story. Thank you for a chance to read two more of your books,
I love that Lauren Blakely has combined these two stories in one Joy Delivered package!
NIGHTS WITH HIM
This story stars Jack, the sexy ex. soldier turned sex toy company CEO. He is NY’s most eligible bachelor and darling of the media after his fiance dies a year earlier. We have Michelle Milo who we’ve met in previous books in the series getting her chance at love. She is a rock star therapist and is extremely talented in helping her clients navigate their relationships and lives. They become the focus of social media which is a problem for a therapist who requires discretion. It is hard for them to stay away from each other because they each awaken strong passion, desire and healing in the other. I fell in love with Jack and Michelle, and the development of both of their characters. I also loved how hot the chemistry is between them along with their dirty talking. Their love scenes and passion is off the charts! We get to see old friends and great new secondary characters along with some drama and mystery that keeps the story flowing. We are also treated to wonderful scenes in Paris that makes you feel like you are really there.
FORBIDDEN NIGHTS
This is Jack’s sister, Casey Sullivan, and his best friend, Nate Harper’s forbidden romance. They have been intensely attracted to each other for years but haven’t acted on it. They both have been burned by love before and don’t trust their judgement to find love again. But Casey has hope but has lost her confidence in the bedroom. She asks Nate for lesson’s in seduction to use on another. When he agrees, they never expected that their friendship could be the foundation for such passionate and explosive chemistry. But what could go wrong when the end nears and they have to go back to being just friends?
Sebastian York is the perfect choice to bring these dirty talking alpha males and the strong and successful women who love them to life! His comedic timing was spot on, and he easily brings out the range of emotions that these characters go through, making us feel them as well. I love listening to his smooth, expressive voice and getting lost in his storytelling, making these fabulous Blakely romances even better.
Prepare for two scorching hot books combines into one fantastic eargasmic listen.
Nights With Him is Jack and Michelle’s story and what a story it is. We have Jack Sullivan who is CEO of Joy Delivered, a sex toy company that provides pleasure to millions of women worldwide. Jack is New York’s most eligible hot bachelor and the rag magazines follows him regularly. After his fiance’ died in an accident Jack has been the grieving bachelor. It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t know him as that so when he meets a woman in a bar he is struck with her since she seems to be oblivious to who he is. Michelle Milo is a therapist and a good one but she rarely lets herself enjoy the pleasures of life unless you count the BOBs. When she sees Jack across the bar she is immediately aroused from his handsome looks and fine physical form. When they start a conversation she has no idea where that will lead her and how her future will change.
Next we have Forbidden Nights which is Jack’s sister Cassie and his friend Nate’s story. Cassie is a strong female that takes what she wants and rarely holds anything back. She has been unlucky with love even though love or pleasure is what she sells with Joy Delivered. Since her brother put her in charge as CEO of the company she has taken it to new heights but she is still struggling with her own love life. Nate Harper is CEO for the Lux hotel and resorts and he is living the bachelor life. After his ex wife ripped his heart out and stomped on his pride he refuses to fall back into that again. He is best friends with Casie so when she ask him to help her to let loose he is happy to help but in the process his true feelings come out.
This series is I’d say one of my all time favorites of Lauren Blakely’s. I love everything she writes but this one is off the charts hot and sexy with great characters and storylines that pull you inside their lives. I loved this duet so much and I highly recommend it.
Now with all that said, because the two books together are so good it wouldn’t matter who the narrator was, but OH MY GOODNESS to have Sabastian York be the one to tell their stories is off the charts hot. I was seriously in heaven. 5 stars doesn’t even come close and to get two for one credit is an added bonus.
I loved everything about this book. Both stories are fantastic and the narration is off the charts good. I received a code to listen and review. I highly recommend it.
