I liked Allegra and Devlin’s story and I really want to read the sequel since this is a duet, I am however only going to give my full feelings about this story after the ending of it in the next book.

An exquisite distraction
This book is about Allegra and Devlin. She’s attending the annual company dinner, which is ordinarily boring. So she’s on a mission – to let her hair down and have a one-night stand with a stranger. She’s well overdue for a ‘palate cleanser’ as she calls it. It’s been over a year after all! When she spots a potential man he turns around and she gasps as she recognises him – from last year!
Devlin also happens to be Allegra’s boss Jack’s nephew. The chemistry and tension between them is sizzling-hot, even if she doesn’t want it to be! He discovers her ‘mission’ and they discuss it further, until he makes a proposal to her about it. He offers himself rather than a random stranger. She had been feeling like one of the spinsters in a Jane Austen novel, so she finally accepts, in her own stubborn way.
They embark on a very steamy night together. It was hot and passionate and very… thorough. The scenes were descriptively and beautifully written making me feel like I was there. It was so believable and realistic. Their chemistry was sizzling-hot, but there was something else there between them too. It was by no means just physical. And I think that’s what scared Allegra off, as she fled in the middle of the night.
I really dislike that it ended on a cliff-hanger, but I’m so looking forward to reading ‘Longing’. The two-chapter sneak-peek has me sooooo intrigued and excite to see what happens next! And when he explains why he too doesn’t want a repeat of that night… It’s going to be a fun read!
And again, with the, “I’ve got you” line… SWOON! It gets me every time thanks to Netflix! I do imagine Adam Demos saying it in my head though – it is becoming a problem! LOL! And I really loved the cheeky little dedication at the start of this book too! I think many of us feel the same way 😉 I give this book four and a half stars.

A one night stand is what Allegra needs to get rid of the itch. She doesn’t have time for a relationship with her career, although she would like to. She sees Devlin again at the company’s annual dinner. Last year she thought she clicked with him until she saw him kiss another woman. She now refuses to think of him with the mission she has set herself. But feelings of lust flare up when Devlin approaches her.
And despite Allegra not wanting to admit it; he is the man for her. What follows is a hot steamy sexy night full of the best sex she’s ever had. What she didn’t want happened anyway, her heart got involved. She runs as fast as she can from Devlin when he falls asleep.
A wonderful intermezzo as a precursor to the book Longing.

I rate this book 3.5 stars.
Allegra meets Devlin again, a year after she thought he betrayed her. Devlin is insists on telling her his side of the story. The chemistry between them is sizzling hot and there are some pretty steamy scenes. I thought it was cute but there wasn’t a lot of depth to this, but then again, it is just a novella and is supposed to lead into a second book, Longing.
I received a free advanced review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my fair and honest opinion.
Allegra and Devlin both work for the same company and meet again at an annual dinner. Allegra is looking for a one-night stand and Devlin convinces her that it should be with him. What follows is a night of intense passion and emerging feelings beyond the physical that leaves Allegra running away scared.
I would classify this book as a prequel because it really only starts Allegra’s and Devlin’s story. It’s a really short read, too – less than an hour – and in my opionion could have very easily been added to the follow-up book, giving a more satisfying experience.
