Excerpt: Libby checks Cody out in the plane...
The plane ride to the Ball is interesting, both Cody and Libby don't yet know who they have been matched up with by Madame Eve for the Great Ball in the Alaskan Resort, but attraction picks up immediately between them.
Deciding to stay true to their future "dates", Cody especially because he has to get married in less than a week to keep his Uncles Ranch, they try not to see each other or give into the attraction. But one dinner date just becomes too much to handle and they sleep together for one incredibly hot night. So what's next, the future "dates", was this just one night only, or is there a way out of their "contracts" with Madame Eve?
This novella is part of "Madame Eve's 1NightStand Holiday Anthology" with the following stories: Cerise DeLand ~ Santa, Cutie, Liia Ann White ~ Her First White Christmas, Stacy Kennedy ~ All She Wants For Christmas Is Her Dom, Rebecca Royce ~ I'll be Mated for Christmas, D.L. Jackson ~ This Endris Night and Clarissa Yip ~ Silent Night’s Seduction. Stay tuned this week for the reviews on the novella you see above in bold italic.
Best plot in the anthology, hands down! I loved it! I love characters dancing around each other, wanting but feeling like they cannot give in wither because of moral standards or prior engagements or a plot of their own.
I also really truly enjoyed Desiree Holts writing, she's talented in creating a world very quickly, one that is easy flowing, witty, touching and at times hot as hell! ;D This Anthology just keeps getting better!
You'll like this if... you like a little resistance in your romance, "must have but can't", and if you like your heroines transformed from ugly ducklings to sexy swans! ;)
