My One Night

On My Own, Book 1

De: Carrie Ann Ryan

Narrado por: Emma Wilder, Tor Thom

Includes the bonus prequel My First Glance as well as a bonus epilogue!

A one-night stand is supposed to end once the sun rises. Only it doesn’t always work out that way in this opposites-attract-and-tortured-hero romance.

I never expected this.

I didn’t want to go to another fraternity party, but when my friend pulls me in, I somehow find myself hiding in a corner with...him.

Dillon Connolly.

The smirking, so-called good guy with the shadows in his eyes. A single glance, a sweet smile, and I let myself have one night of giving in. Only I have to promise myself not to fall in love. No matter the cost.

I never expected her.

Elise Hoover haunts my dreams more than I care to admit. I never thought I stood a chance - until she said yes.

When a single night turns to two, I know I’m in over my head, but somehow, she makes me believe I can have anything. Until the sun rises, and my past along with it.

I thought I’d run from the problems that could hurt us both, but now I’m falling for her, and I can’t stop. I know I don’t deserve her, but now I have to fight to keep her...or save her from myself.

amazing

My One Night is a beautifully emotional amazing read that captives you. I fell in love with Dillon and Elise. Grab this book and prepare for a phenomenal journey and a emotional roller coaster. If you listen to any book this year it needs to be this one.

Beautiful

Omg Dillion you met in fractured connections series. This is Dillons story. ELISE AND DILLON OMG the chemistry and the way they came together is absolutely amazing. I really enjoy this story and how it was written. The feels and plot twists had me turning the page more in delight. Carrie Ann just pulls you in with her story and you there until the last page.

Narration Emma Wilder and Tor Thom did amazing with this story. I couldn't stop listening to the performance they did. I cannot wait to listen to again.

Great start to a new series

This first book of this spin off series was a good book to start this new series. In this book, we get Dillion's story who we met in the Fractured Connections series and Elise. Their story is set at college where they are both learning to find their way and determine their future.

Dillion, who we know from the previous series that he appeared in, has not had the best in life. He has spread his wings and has gone off to college where he has four roommates and a vague plan on what he wants to do with his life.

Elise, a quiet introvert from on over protective family sees Dillion around campus and after accepting a dare from her roommate and best friend steps out of her comfort zone and has a one night stand that turns into more.

There are a few twists, a past that needs to be reconciled, a tragedy and a hard path to finding their HEA but this well written story does come out on the other side. The pair have amazing chemistry together and where I was happy to see Dillion get his story and the introduction of new characters, I also enjoyed the return of all of the Connolly siblings and the ability to catch up with them after their individual stories. Where the next book in this series is not about a family member but one of the roommates, I still am looking forward to seeing where this series is going to go.

The narration by Emma Wilder and Tor Thom was performed well and made for an enjoyable listening experience. The pair did a great job bringing this story to life. Overall, this was a good read that I would recommend to others.

Fantastic Story & Narration🎧 Riveting & Heartfelt

This is a fabulous start to a new series, the story drew me right in, grabbing my attention and captivating it the entire book. Carrie Ann Ryan is one of my favorite authors and it is always great to see another side of her brilliantly creative mind in this contemporary new adult college romance. The characters and storylines are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. I adored the two lead characters Dillon Connolly and Elise Hoover, college students not looking for a relationship, but the chemistry between them is electric and undeniably strong. This is a beautifully written and plotted romance story, loved watching these two grow closer as their relationship blossomed. There are some great secondary characters and storylines going on, also loved meeting Dillon’s family, I have not had the pleasure to start her “Fractured Connections” series yet but I will have to rectify that soon. Carrie Ann Ryan, thank you for another wonderful story & emotional rollercoaster ride, I am looking forward to what comes next in this series.

🎧📚🎧 And for the narration, Emma Wilder and Tor Thom are wonderfully talented narrators and voice artists. They were the perfect cast to bring these characters to life, they gave each a voice that fit for that character’s persona to a tee, sounding believable and just as I pictured the characters to sound. You could hear how much heart they put into their work as they capture the character’s emotions and project them into their performance. These two are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

Sweet and hearwarming NA romance with an edge!

Wonderful start to the series! All the emotions, surprising plot twists, and solid character development I’ve come to expect in a Carrie Ann Ryan novel. Dillon was just as amazing and thoughtful as I’d hoped for. I was thrilled that he finally got his own story! It was also super fun to see how his brothers and their wives are doing, their family dynamic is so heartwarming to read. I loved the way both groups of friends are set up and linked, the boys and the girls. There’s a lot of promise for the next books in the series. I like the way all the secondary characters are written, likable and intriguing. Elise is smart, sweet, and a bit of an overthinker. She’s a great match for Dillon. They are both still young, but earnest and determined to make something of their lives. Their upbringing has been very different, but when it comes down to it, they both have loving families they can turn to. Even if Elise’s parents needed a rather tragic catalyst to make them understand what’s important in life. I was stunned at that particular twist myself. And if that wasn’t enough, someone from Dillon’s past comes out of the woodworks … and not exactly with good intentions. Dillon and Elise are young but are not spared from heartache and troubles before finding love and happiness together.

Narration: Emma Wilder and Tor Thom are brilliant narrators both, and they did a wonderful job with their performance of this story. The way they brought the characters to life really lifted the story to an even higher level. I really enjoyed the audio for this book, enchanting and gripping both.
