BrayleighI had decided a long time ago that the guy who put a ring on my finger would be one that checked every box on my list.✓ Looks✓ Money✓ Social StandingSome sexy fireman was not going to change anything. Drunk or not, I knew to keep my feelings locked up tight with men who didn’t meet that standard.CarterTaking a prim princess home for the night was a safe bet. She’d wake up to her mistake, … night was a safe bet. She’d wake up to her mistake, realizing I didn’t live in a mansion or sleep on twelve-hundred thread-count sheets. It never failed, she—whoever it was that night—bolted before I’d even had a chance to stretch.
Wham bam, thank you, ma’am. No strings attached.
…Until Brayleigh.

Oh boy… A new book… A new author… An explosion of words. Lol. I know that I’m not making sense right now but I really don’t care.
Mila Hart spiked my curiosity just by reading the blurb and one look at the cover and I was hooked…
When I found out that one of my favorite authors had joined with another author and created Mila Hart I knew that I needed to read. I’ve been reading books by Stephie Walls for a long fine but I’m new to Kristie Leigh. Their writing is sweet but empowering, hard but soft and hot hot hot…
No Strings is their latest release and tells the stories of Carter and Brayleigh.
Brayleigh wants to rebel herself against her parents, so she seeks one night stands in guys that don’t fit the requirements…
Carter is a firefighter, devoted to his profession that also seeks one night stands. Relationships aren’t in the cards for him.
And then these two meet…
Sweet and perfect. These are the words that popped up in my mind after reading this book.
Perfect plot, very well written, super engaging and sweet. It was amazing to see how love can make you change your mind.
These two were perfect for each other but sometimes stubbornness is an obstacle that if you’re not into it you can’t overcome.
In life, nothing is for granted so you must live your life day by day.
Love, family, and friendship are very present as well as desire and second chances.
I’m so happy for the chance to read this book and I’m sad because it’s over… So soon…
Tell me Mila… What’s next?
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Brayleigh is the socialite daughter of a former NBA player turned nightclub mogul. She’s not just a pretty face, though – she has a real job, even if it’s barely mentioned and she can work whenever she wants. Carter is a firefighter. His friends take him out to a club for his birthday and he and Brayleigh have a one-night stand, the goal of each of them for the night. Then Carter saves Brayleigh’s life when her apartment burns down and invites her to stay with him.
There is one big pet peeve I have with romance novels and that’s instalove. In this case it’s instalust being mistaken for instalove. They barely know each other but they are infatuated with each other. I kept thinking to myself “they would never last” and yet there’s the epilogue… The story between their meeting and the epilogue would have been so much better instead of jumping right from first getting together to their happily ever after. Reading about Carter and Brayleigh meshing their lifestyles, Carter and her father meeting and getting to know each other, Brayleigh around the fire house -there is so much more that could have made this a good story. As it is, there isn’t much there beyond a few nights of hotness and a few conversations. Carter doesn’t even know her last name!
Whew! Wipes brow.
Hot fireman mets sexy socialite. It’s a match made in he!! even so, will it stand the test of time?
This is a fast paced, hot under the collar story of a one night stand that leads to so much more.
Brayleigh and Carter’s chemistry was off the charts, the banter spot on and even though they shouldn’t have worked, they just did.
This is a new duo author pairing and I hope they have more to share.
EEP!! So in love with No Strings! A quick steamy read where a one-night stand goes completely right! Love this new writing duo! FIVE STARS!!
No Strings was such a fun, great quick read! I was invested the first page and was bummed when it was over, but in a good way. I wanted more because it was that good. If you’re looking for a hot, quick read then definitely pick up No Strings!
A very hot sexy storyline that will leave you breathless. The characters were well defined and I felt like I knew exactly what they were feeling. I felt the lust between Carter, the sexy fireman, and Brayleigh, the rich socialite. They both are not ready for a relationship. They both believe in one and done. Even though they both knew their lust filled night was something special they stuck to their guns. But when tragedy brings them back together, is it a sign or just coincidence>
This is a quick, short very sexy read that I truly enjoyed. Be ready for a hot time and one you won’t soon forget. 2 Thumbs Up and 4 stars.
Carter is a firefighter who is not interested in any form of relationship except one-night stands. One night at a club he meets a beautiful woman, Brayleigh, and takes her home but no matter how much he is attracted to her, he pushes her out the door not wanting any relationship.
Yet when he finds himself meeting up with Brayleigh again he wonders if it is fate pushing him together but will he push her away again?
This is a good quick read about finding the one when you aren’t looking and really trying to figure out what you want in your own life.
I liked Carter and had no clue why he kept pushing Brayleigh away until he finally confesses what is going on with him. The two of them had so much chemistry and there was definitely lots of sex!
It was interesting that with what happened to Brayleigh we learn a little bit more about her life but I still found it kind of glossed over with her dad solving most things for her. I would have liked Brayleigh doing more for herself as I don’t think I even picked up if she had a career or not.
I thought the scene at the hotel was sad but funny on how everything got mixed up with the phone call to the fire station but I was glad that they were able to work everything out.
Everything progressed super fast between them but the story was enjoyable.By Rebecca
I found this story to be short and sweet with a lot of heat! Brayleigh and Carter both had their reasons for not wanting to have a relationship past a one night hook up, but you know love has as sneaky way of changing peoples minds! It was full of steam and it makes you wish that in real life you could find love quite so easily and make it last past the sizzle! It was nice to see the characters be real about themselves and still able to see the love that was there. Their friends were supportive and still able to poke fun at them. The way friends can really be.
First of all, I absolutely LOVE firefighter romances, so I was in heaven reading this novella! Carter is the hottest man ever! As Brayleigh says, he doesn’t have a 6-pack, “except on actual count, there were 8! Just, wow! (I think I want him to be my book boyfriend for the month of June.) Both Carter and Brayleigh are one night stand kind of people. They don’t want commitments. They don’t want to settle down. She didn’t know it, but Brayleigh made Carter’s 27th birthday something special. As you’ll find out, just one night isn’t enough between these two. They made a connection. When a dangerous chance encounter brings them together again will they act on their spark? You’ll have to read it to find out!
I really enjoyed this debut story by Mila Hart! It made for some extremely hot reading and one really sweet happily-ever-after. A must-read summer story! 4 stars for No Strings!
No strings by Mila hart is based around Brayleigh and Carter, these two meet at a bar one night and they just heat it off. Their heat was so steamy they took it to Carters place.. These two end up going their separate ways the next day until something tragic happens to Brayleigh. Carter unexpectly ends up being their for Brayleigh during her situation because of his job. Because these two are back in each other lives, do they pick up where their hot and steamy night ended or do they just go their separate ways and leave their past in the past? This is one story you will want to read when you are by yourself. The spiciness between these two will make you burn. I enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to the next one in the Blue Collar Collection!
Quick, hot read. Much steam in this one, the story is a little light, but enjoyable. This is a good beach read with an adult beverage.
This story was amazing. The chemistry between Carter and Brayleigh is undeniable. They both don’t do relationships, they both are on the prowl and they wind up together. It’s a recipe for disaster. Will they end up being together or will it be tragic. Carter is a handsome fire fighter and Brayleigh is a rich socialite. But opposites attract right? So much chemistry, this book will make you wish you had your own Carter. Not for young readers. It will definitely change the temperature in the room. I couldn’t get enough of this story and I didn’t even want an ending. Stephie Walls and Kristie Leigh did such a good job in this collaboration. I really enjoyed this book and will read anything else these two come up with.
