This book was a fun, quick read. Kaylee and Paxton are from totally different worlds, but when they (literally) run into each other they can’t ignore the sparks that fly. I really enjoyed getting to watch their story unfold. These two authors wrote seamlessly together and the story flowed really well.
I enjoyed that Kaylee was in disbelief about what was happening – and yet hated that she wouldn’t accept it as reality, too:
He’d given me a taste of fantasy when I knew I had to be stepping back into my reality.
I loved that Paxton wasn’t going to let her go so easily…and that he took her thinking and put his own twist on it:
“I am a fantasy, baby. Yours. And you are always going to be mine.”
Overall, I can’t wait to see what these two bring us next!!
*** I voluntarily read a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review ***
One Wild Night is a sexy, fun, and glamorous read. I found this one hard to put down and before I know it I was already at the end. This book was definitely interesting to read because I love A.L. Jackson, but had yet to read a Rebecca Shea book. I can say that I wouldn’t mind reading more books by this duo.
I definitely liked Paxton even though he came off as pompous and arrogant when I first started reading and was pleasantly surprised that all the assumptions were wrong about this Hollywood heartthrob. Kaylee was also very surprising since she the typical opposite of Paxton and is a kindergarten teacher who falls for Paxton’s charms and says “what the hell” and decides to have one night with then. I was totally high fiving her because “go for it girl!” Who wouldn’t want to at least have one night with the sexiest man to grace the big screen and Kaylee leaps at the opportunity. But one night turns into sooo much more. I enjoyed every moment that Paxton and Kaylee spent together. It was fun, sexy, and downright steamy at times.
My only issues with this book is that I wish it was longer because I really wanted to get to know these characters a lot better and I as still curious about a few things. I kinda felt a little annoyed about Kaylee’s insecurity that you often find in books where the normal girl falls for the celebrity. It of course causes some drama towards the end. But I still really enjoyed this book.
When One Wild Night turns into forever.”
This was the perfect read for me right now. I was looking for something fun, sassy, and sexy and this book was just the thing.
I have been a fan of A.L. Jackson’s for a long time but I have never read anything by Rebecca Shea. I was so excited to see Ms. Jackson was collaborating with another author, that I knew I just had to read it. This is so different than what we have come to expect from an A.L. Jackson novel, but in a good way. To me this was the fun, and sexy side of these authors. This book will make you laugh, smile, swoon and fall in love. There aren’t the normal heavy topics we see when reading other books by these authors, or at least Ms. Jackson’s.
One Wild Night is the first book in the Hollywood Chronicles Series by A.L. Jackson and Rebecca Shea. I have to say they are off to a GREAT start with this little gem!!! This is a Hollywood Actor meets a simple kindergarten teacher love story. An opposites attract!!! This is kind of an insta love story in that this is a fairly quick read so things move pretty quickly. I wouldn’t say anything was rushed but if falling in love in a matter of a couple days bothers you, then you might want to pass on this story. This is a standalone novel that is told in Dual POV. I devoured this book in one sitting. I was totally swept up into the story and these characters.
In this story we follow Paxton (Pax) and Kaylee. Pax is a Hollywood A lister who has a movie coming out and is attending the premiere. Kaylee is a kindergarten teacher who has grown up in LA all her life. Her best friend just happens to be the daughter of the director of Pax’s new film. Elle (Kaylee’s BFF) talks her into going to the premiere only to ditch her that night. So going solo, Kaylee just wants to get in and get out without any issues. Yep….things are never that easy. She literally stumbles into Pax’s life and what happens from here is a worldwind romance. Can these two opposites really find a HEA?? What happens when jealousy comes into play?? Read this fun and sexy read, you won’t be sorry.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves an opposite attract story with a Hunky Hollywood A lister as the Hero. If you are a fan of either or both of these authors then you NEED to read this book!!!
Kaylee Rose Burton, kindergarten teacher, has never been a believer in fantasies.
That is until she stumbles head first into the arms of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor. All I can say about this one is it’s short, predictable with hot sex. Typical sexy movie star seduces a common teacher and falls in love. I think I would have enjoyed this much more if it was longer so a story could have been established without being rushed.
I really enjoyed this book! Different from what I’m used to reading (at least) by A.L. Jackson, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was a quick, fun, sassy one night stand turned epic romance story.
4 – 4.5 stars – just because it was short – ended too fast – that’s my only complaint – and I never wanted it to end
It was fast paced, sweet, sexy, quick, fun, laugh out loud read. I loved the characters and the plot. Kaylee and Paxton owned my heart from start to finish. I loved their personality and loved them together and separate. They pretty quickly won me over. The dialogue was amazing and hilarious. It just flowed.
Recommend it.
*4,5 stars*
First book by two authors (A.L. Jackson and Rebecca Shea) who finally wrote a book together and it’s the start of something new but hot 🙂 I really loved the interaction between Kaylee and Paxton in the story. Their chemistry was palpable when reading! A sexy short book that will leave you wanting more…
Kaylee is a kindergarten teacher and when she needs to fill in for her bestie to go to the premier of a movie she actually doesn’t want to attend, she meets the Hollywood Prince Paxton that may give her something more than she never thought was even possible… but what could go wrong from one wild night together?…
This is a typical ordinary girl meets famous guy book but I did enjoy it and my stomach was in knots waiting for it to work out in the end
I am in love with this writing duo; A.L. Jackson and Rebecca Shea make a sensational pair! A sweet and sexy romance that you won’t want to put down, and so much more than just one wild night. I can’t wait to read more by this duo.

We’ve all heard the saying I’d tap that, or I’d hit that. Elle Ward took that way too literally when she hit Kassius on his motorcycle. In her defense she was too busy staring at a billboard of chiseled abs and drool worthy face when she backed into the mystery man. When his helmet comes off she realizes who that handsome face belongs to. The man on the ground writhing in pain. Palm meet face.
Elle has been burned by a wanna be movie star using her to get his next big role. Her father is a famed director that everyone wants to know. Her heart is now tucked behind a very large concrete wall and a career that is all her own and she is
just going through the motions. She has a tendency to zone out and when she hits a guy on a motorcycle she doesn’t expect it to be life changing. She struggles with him and old habits become hard to break.
Kassius is a male model with his face plastered on billboards and heck even the sides of buses yet he’s striving for more. He wants to make it on the big screen. When an accident lands him with a broken ankle he thinks the girl standing over him is an angel. He uses this to his advantage and really has no idea who Elle Ward is and falls for her. Her past issues meet his present opportunities will it be enough to keep her?
If you don’t love handsome swoon worthy guys with a big heart this book isn’t for you. If you don’t love a female lead who can make it on her own this isn’t for you. If
instant love isn’t your thing this book isn’t for you. You’d be a fool to not take a chance on this story though. I’m a fan of A.L. Jackson and haven’t read anything yet by Rebecca Shae but I will now. The chemistry between Elle and Kas is off the charts. All the alluding to the big bang is enough to keep you on the edge of your seat. Kas is a book boyfriend for the ages. I mean sexy abs and a heart of gold? Yes please. I will admit at times Elle annoyed me, but I got why she was so guarded. This was book two in this series, but I didn’t even know till I was finished. I can’t wait to see where else this series goes or I hope it at least goes somewhere else.
Al Jackson is a one-click author for me, so I was super excited to be able to read this one. While not the highly emotional read I’ve come to know her for, I could still see undertones of her signature style in this story.
I really liked Kaylee, and felt bad that she had lost so much for literally stumbling into a world she knew nothing about. She was sweet and kind and naive to the troubles that would follow her after her one night with Paxton Myles.
Pax was that cocky Mega-Star who knew how to get his way. And though he convinced Kaylee to go home with him knowing she wasn’t accustomed to the issues of his world, he showed a sweetness and thoughtfulness that I didn’t see coming, and I really enjoyed seeing his heart.
This book was great, and while this is the first I’ve had the chance to read by Rebecca Shea, I’m looking forward to reading more by her and by this duo.
One Wild Night will have you captivated and lured by the bright lights of fame. When Kaylee Rose literally falls into the arms of the famous Paxton Myles, Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor, she never expects her whole world to turn upside down. This book is sexy, flirty and packed full of drama. Paxton and Kaylee’s story is full of heart and soul and is one beautiful fast paced romance.
Man I wish all men that can be so alpha – have a heart of gold and still have a killer smile. Pax maybe this famous actor, but he is really a simple man.
Kaylee is doing her best friend a favor for going to the premier of a movie; she is a fish out of water. Bumping into Pax has her heart running and her mind spinning.
These two are so amazing that their chemistry is off the charts. Yes Kaylee is not famous, she is grounded and Pax loves this about her. They have this easy feel to themselves and it made the story so much more since it was novella. The only thing I wanted was more. I can see this couple being in a full length novel as the grow more in love.

“Everything about her is perfect. Not Hollywood perfect, but the kind of perfect a man really likes.”
One Wild Night was a fun, light and sexy contemporary romance. I usually don’t like the ‘girl falling in love with celebrity’ plot, however this was done really well. Paxton is a Hollywood actor and a very confident man. Kaylee, is a kindergarten teacher and her nurturing side shows well. When these two meet the sparks fly off of them. The attraction was immediate and there was definitely a case of insta-lust. This didn’t really bother me, and I liked that Paxton went for her and didn’t stop his chase. The only reason I didn’t rate this book higher is because of the length of the novel. It was in my opinion too short for me to fully connect with the characters, and I didn’t feel there was enough growth for them as individuals and as a couple. I enjoyed Rebecca an Amy’s co-writing, so I am looking forward to the next book in the Hollywood Chronicles.
“I don’t do this,” I whispered, feeling everything caving in around me. My willpower and self-control. “Don’t do what?” he asked even lower. His lips just brushed mine when he spoke. Fire. Trembling, I forced out the words. “One night.”
I absolutely loved the push and pull and the attempts to fight the undeniable attraction between these two. Complete opposites and one night turns into a page-turner I couldn’t put down. Hot, enticing, and swoon-worthy!! I thank the Author for providing a copy to review!!

DNF. Paxton was gross. Kaylee was stupid
Like the title says, be prepared to go on One Wild Night of reading this book and not being able to put it down.
I love that these 2 authors have written together. Such an brillant combo of writing packed together in this book that was soo much fun to read.
From dual character points of views, you will not be disappointed in finding out if a Hollywood hunky star Paxton and school teacher Kaylee can have a relationship in the Hollywood glam world.
Loved the interactions of the characters and the way the story is unfolding.
Can’t wait to find out what will happen next with these two characters in the next book!
A fun, flirty and sexy read. Hottest Hollywood Bachelor meets kindergarten teacher at a chance meeting. How lives are flipped upside down and fantasy becomes reality. Definitely a whirlwind of a read. Chemistry that is scorching, great banter with very low angst. A quick great read by two amazing authors.
I love to read. I tend to stick to the romance genre. This is a romance that didn’t disappoint. The writing is seamless and sweeps you up into the story.
Pax is the Hollywood heartthrob. Kaylee is sweet, genuine and down to earth. She is everything he didn’t know he was looking for in life.
The story is beautiful, romantic and has sizzling chemistry!
5 When the Fantasy Becomes Reality Stars!!
I absolutely love when two of my favorite authors team up to write together and this book is another perfect example of what kind of magic can be created. Ms. Shea and Ms. Jackson have taken what I’m sure a lot of girls and women have dreamed about growing up….meeting and falling in love with their Hollywood crush, and made it reality for Kaylee Rose.
She’s a sweet, innocent and unassuming kindergartener teacher and he’s the hottest movie start today and when they meet, fireworks go off for both of them. I literally was ooohing and aaaahhhing the entire book between having to cool myself off because when Kaylee and Paxton get down to business, she’s not so innocent anymore!!!
One of my favorite parts of this book is how Paxton knew that Kaylee was for him and he would stop at nothing to get her in his life. She’s his breath of fresh air, even if there are people in his camp that aren’t so crazy about her being there!
This is a perfect quick read and if you’re like me, you’ll fall in love with Paxton and Kaylee and how One Wild Night can become a lifetime of love.
