Publisher's summary

Leah Morgan was done with men. After barely surviving a horrendous childhood, and a boyfriend who bailed when things got rough, Leah had given up on love. Then she met him, Hollywood's new golden boy who suddenly had eyes only for her. She tried to convince herself that one night couldn't hurt, but after six months, the memories of his mesmerizing gaze and searing touch still invaded her every thought.

Declan James had just one rule when it came to women. Keep it simple, and never linger. That all changed the moment he met Leah. Even across a crowded bar, he could tell she was different. Sweet, with just the right amount of sass, she made him break his golden rule and now he couldn't walk away.

When casual becomes anything but, and emotions run deep, will Leah and Declan fight their fears, or let old insecurities tear them apart? When Declan's past comes roaring back in a way neither of them could have expected, will they stand united or be torn apart by the challenges that lie ahead?

It was only supposed to be one night, but only forever will do.

Such a heartfelt story

Leah and Declan's story was so endearing. Leah was such a strong and I woman having gone through so much in her childhood. Declan was such a guy but throughout the book, his greatest qualities proved to be redeeming.
I really enjoyed the witty banter, emotional discoveries, and romantic adventures within this book.
I flipped between reading and listening to the audio and I really loved the narrators. They were both perfect for the two main characters and really helped to bring the story to life.

Excellent celebrity romance

Really enjoyed everything about this audiobook. Nice celebrity plot about a one night stand/fling that becomes more, with surprise twists and turns thrown in. I liked the dual narrators. Ready for more in this series!

An Absolute Must

You can figure out how this book is going to end within the first 2 chapters but the journey on how it all unfolds is phenomenal. It is definitely my favorite book of this series by far.

Loved it!!!

I how the story unfolded! I liked how the characters developed & that it wasn't a typical love story since no one's life is typical. I liked all the twists & turns & how vulnerable the author allowed the characters to be

Hooked from the start

This book had me from the start. Both of their stories were so compelling. It had me laughing and crying especially at the end. You will not be disappointed.
