Jennie Mayfair has also had her share of troubles. Married to a man who did little but verbally beat her down, she’s struggled to put her life back together after her divorce. Her budding design business has helped build her confidence, but she’s yet to dip her toe back into the dating pool. Enter Madame Eve and her 1Night Stand service.

This story has so many positives. Nick is a great guy who carries his heartbreak on his sleeve. He seems determined to win Jennie’s heart, no matter what it takes. Jennie, meanwhile, is trying desperately to protect her heart, promising herself she was not going to allow herself to love again. To watch these two previous lovers rekindling their past was such fun. The heat between them was irresistible, and as they unleashed their passion, there was no doubt they would have a future.

Infused in the book was a little action as well. While brief, it gave the story an unexpected twist and helped progress the story. I did question whether Nick knew Jennie’s ex, and how long they’d known each other, but in the end it didn’t really matter.

One glaring omission that kept me from scoring this a 5. Both Nick and Jennie speak of their past, and each looks back at their missed years regretfully, but the reason for their split isn’t mentioned. Why did they break up and marry other people? Why were they involved enough to engage in oral sex, but the relationship was never consummated? I was anxiously awaiting the reveal, but it never came, and I’d still love to know.

Despite the missing piece, the story was very well done. Nick and Jennie are a great couple and the happily ever after was rewarding, as always. 1Night Stands are always a pleasure, and this one is no exception.
