He’s my dad’s new business partner. And he’s more than a decade older than me. But I want him anyway.My plans for Halloween this year are pretty laid-back: drive up to see my parents, hand out candy at their house, and watch some cheesy horror movies. But then my mom tells me that we’re invited to a Halloween party hosted by my dad’s new business partner.And my dad’s new business partner, Dante, … business partner, Dante, is freakin’ hot.
Hooking up with Dante proves to be inevitable. What catches us both off guard is our mutual desire to actually be together. But I don’t see how we can make it work. And I’m scared out of my mind to tell my parents about us.
How can this possibly end well?
JUST ONCE is a fun, short, Halloween romance with steam, sweetness, and a happily-ever-after!

This was sweet short read.
The Angel and the Playboy
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Just Once by Kate Hunt. It is a short story with a semi Halloween theme about Angel and Dante. Yep those are the H and h’s names and if you aren’t already laughing then wait until you read the book and get to the last chapter/epilogue.
Angel is a twenty-one year old college student who comes home for the Halloween weekend. This girl loves Halloween – the dressing up, handing out candy, seeing kids in costumes, watching scary moves, etc. This year she is dressed as an actual angel with wings and a halo.
Dante is thirty-six and is a fairly new business partner of Angel’s dad. He is throwing a Halloween party this year and Angel’s parents need to make an appearance, at least for business reasons. So Angel comes along and once Dante sees her he realizes he is in all sorts of trouble here. So he stays away from her all evening except for one wee little kiss. Not good but it was still earth shaking.
The next day Angel goes for a run and ends up in Dante’s neighborhood. Before she can leave he is calling her name. For both of them they cannot stop thinking about each other. So what do you do when that happens……………..well you have a one time only encounter to get it out of your system of course. Only it does not quite work out as both of them agreed to leaving them in some uncharted and potentially very sticky territory, including the potential fallout with her parents and the business.
As I was reading this story I found myself smiling and chuckling, along with a few out loud laughs. Kate Hunt has written a very enjoyable and interesting story about two people who just connect and can’t stay away from each other, even with the best of intentions.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
An enjoyable fast pace older man younger woman romance. The characters are likeable with instant and intense chemistry between them. It is a well written page turner that moves at a brisk pace with some drama and a sweet HEA. Definitely recommended!

Another great short story by Kate Hunt. I really enjoy these as they are perfect when I want to sit down and read but don’t have the entire day to get lost in a story. They are short, hot and steamy.
Dante and Angel’s story is just that, their chemistry from just their first meeting sets the pages on fire. Dante is a gentleman as he does not hid it from her father and owns up to the relationship.

Eventually, however, they are overwhelmed by their feelings and initiate a steamy relationship. Angel and Dante have many obstacles in their way if they continue this relationship. Read the novella to find out what happens.
Kate Hunt has written a novella with wonderful characters, a complex plot, and a fast paced read. I recommend this short quick read.

Angel is spending Halloween weekend at her parents’ house because handing out candy to the adorable children is her favorite part of the holiday! As she asks her mom what movie they will watch later, they mention her dad’s new business partner and the party he is having later that night. She agrees to go with them rather than watch scary movies alone!
Arriving at the party, Angel can’t believe the handsome man who answers the door. Dante is gorgeous! He feels the same about her, so he makes every effort to avoid her at the party. When he goes upstairs to his room for a quick break from the crowd, he sees Angel step out of his bathroom! He regretfully tells her she has to leave and tells her why. Asking, “Or what?” has him grab her wrist and they end up kissing. Then once again he tells her she needs to leave as he tries to control his feelings. At a second meeting, will he be able to turn her away again? Will they explore their sizzling chemistry in the hope it will burn out once the curiosity is satisfied? Or do they mean more to each other than either realized?
This was a well-written with a very fast story line that packed lots of emotions inside. The characters were great, Angel’s family was wonderful, and the author did a good job in moving things along quickly. Grab your copy and see what Dante and Angel do in this potentially explosive situation!
Wow! This was short but so naughty and sexy! Talk about lust at first sight. It didn’t take long for Dante and Angel to take it to the next level. I finished the book in one sitting and was left smiling at the end.

I really enjoyed this book. Angel and Dante are great characters. Angel’s parents were funny and I loved their Halloween costumes. Angel was funny and willing to go after what she wanted, but didn’t want to push if Dante wasn’t interested.Wonderful Halloween story. Love the happy ever after. Definitely recommend. Must read!

This was a short steamy read by Hunt. I have come to really love her short novellas, course I lI’ve the full novels too! Despite the brevity of this read, the characters were sufficiently developed and clearly understandable.
Dante met his business partner’s daughter at his Halloween party. He tried to keep his distance, but attraction won out. After only a kiss, he convinced her to go. However, when they ran into each other again during her run, it lead to a steamy encounter that they hoped would get the attraction out of their systems. They were wrong!
What about her father, his business partner? Yet another issue, Angel was still in school hours away. What about the age difference? So many things working against them, do they have a chance at a HEA?

Not bad to be as short as it was. Angel is visiting her parents on Halloween when she meets Dante, her dad’s new, younger, business partner. The sparks are instant.
Dante is 15 years older than Angel and tries not to give in to his attraction to her, not only because of the age difference but because of her father. Angel tries to fight it as well but it’s a losing battle for both of them.
How long will the two keep their relationship hidden and what will it do to Angel’s parents once they find out?

Angel is home from college and goes to a Halloween party with her parents. It’s being hosted by his business partner, Dante. Dante sees Angel and instantly falls for her. They kiss that night, but he says they can’t have more. It would be wrong. But they can’t stay away from each other. Like the ending!
