Jennifer’s review & release blast ~ Just One Night by Carly Phillips

The kickoff story to a new series! ~ Jennifer – Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews

 

Linc Kingston doesn’t accept anything less than perfection. Not in his billion-dollar business or in his personal life. He has it all. Except one thing. His personal assistant and best friend in his bed, moaning his name. No matter how much Linc wants her, she’s completely off-limits.

Jordan Greene grew up the daughter of the housekeeper at the Kingston estate, where she met and bonded with Linc at a young age, despite their economic differences. But no matter how close they are now or how much their attraction simmers beneath the surface, they’re still from two different worlds. Besides, Jordan isn’t about to risk losing her best friend for one sensual night.

Jordan might be the only woman who can handle Linc and his domineering, bossy attitude, but beneath that gruff exterior is a vulnerable man who, despite his wealth, has had a less-than-charmed life. And when Linc’s father dies, she’s there for him—unwavering in her friendship.

Until one night of passion and a positive pregnancy test changes everything.

I love the beginning of a new series. You get to meet all the characters and be introduced to their family dynamic. Linc Kingston and Jordan Greene have been best friends for since they were young. Jordan’s mother was one of the Kingston family housekeepers. They didn’t let their differences get in the way of their friendship. When Linc took over running the family business, he asked Jordan to be his assistant. As they have grown up, they are both attracted to the other but too afraid to act on it. After the death of Linc’s father, they give in to their mutual attraction. What they soon realize is that their feelings have grown in to love. I really enjoyed reading about these two wonderful characters. They are fighting their attraction, but boy do the sparks fly. Loved how this book tied in to the Dare Nation series with Linc’s new found sister Aurora, who was a character in Dare to Stay, learning about her new family and getting to know them. Really looking forward to more of the Kingston siblings!
