   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   Natt90 | Jul 6, 2022 |  I found the cheating aspect difficult to accept in the beginning. Kasie is supposed to be strong and smart. However, there were things outlined about her past that could cause her to wobble in her decision making. She had been trying to live up to the standard of all that was good and true in the world to please her parents, who were already let down by her sister. She didn't want to disappoint her boyfriend of six years because he had helped her get where she wanted to be in her career. No, she shouldn't have cheated on Dave at all. The high road would have been to tell him how she truly felt and dealt with that relationship before diving into another one. But, she is a human being, they are weak sometimes, and they make horrible mistakes. Now, I felt bad for the guy, for the most part. But there was always this little niggling feeling that Dave wasn't all he was cracked up to be, devoted and loving, the perfect fiance. A couple of places made me stop and think, Watch out, this guy seems like a push over right now but something is brewing there. When the end came and he called Kasie off that boat where she was meeting Robert, it was a relief. The true feelings of Dave were out there and he was no pushover. He threatened and bullied her. Unfortunately, she hides from her problems again and runs back to Dave, apologizing for what she had done, but I don't think she truly regretted it. So, you wait for the next book to read what happens from there. I am hoping that she finally leaves Dave and starts making her own decisions, not just doing what everyone expects of her. I look forward to seeing just what happens now that Dave has threatened and bullied her to get her to fall back in line with what he wants. Overall I enjoyed this book, it was extremely well written, but have a feeling the story will get better as the series progresses. I was given a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest review. (  ) TinaMarieSays | Oct 23, 2013 |  ) ames | Sep 30, 2013 | Simone, Kasie's best friend, take her to Vegas for a weekend in the hope of getting her to let loose before her very planned, very organized and mundane life turn into a very planned and organized marriage to Dave, her not quite yet fiancé. Kasie meets Robert Dade, who gives her the best night of her life, after which she leaves and goes back to her boring reality. When Dade invades her real world in the form of a new client in her firm, her world is turned up side down. Their affair is passionate, exciting, new and refreshing. And Kasie is still convincing herself that her place is with Dave. When she FINALLY decides, new revelations might make her life a nightmare. When I'm trying to think of what I felt when I read it, all I can think of is disappointment in Kasie. She knew and felt that the life she leads aren't for her but for everyone around her (her family, Dave), but still insisted to keep this life. When offered the opportunity to feel more, she took it, but forced herself to emotionally keep holding to her initial, bored feelings. I think most of what frustrates me will be resolved in book 2, and when I keep reminding myself there will be a book 2, things are immediately put in perspective. This tale of the emotional journey Kasie is going through is very exciting and very frustrating. I'm hoping where the story cuts off between books won't break the flow, as well. Looking forward to book 2. Thank you NetGalley and the publisher, for the advanced copy of this book. ( ) TheBookHammock | Sep 24, 2013 | The Stranger by Kyra Davis is the first of three parts in the Just One Night series. Kasie's best friend has convinced her to step out of her comfort zone on their trip to Vegas. Simone tells her to sleep with a stranger, Kasie sets her limit at flirting with one. A blackjack table, a handsome man, and a scotch on the rocks set Kasie's life on a brand new path - one she'd always been too afraid to consider. An exciting, passionate read that I just couldn't put down. Robert is the ultimate embodiment of Alpha and Kasie is on the cusp of losing all inhibition. ***QUOTES*** I didn’t know it could be like this. It’s a cliché. A line every ingénue in every bad romantic comedy is forced to utter. The words are always spoken delicately as if our heroine has reached a new level of innocence. This doesn’t feel innocent. This feels fucking amazing. It feels like I’m coming alive. I didn’t know it could be like this. -Kasie A billion-dollar operation that has yet to go public. It’s Apple meets Blackwater meets Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. Secrets are kept; outsiders, unwelcome. “It was just one night.” I try to keep the chill in my tone but I can see that my line in the sand is now threatened by the tide. “An anomaly. I am not your lover now.” ( ) Lisa.Hines | Sep 4, 2013 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Cuando su mejor amiga la lleva a Las Vegas a pasar una #65533;ltima noche loca... se encuentra con #65533;l. Bajo su traje a medida Kasie puede percibir que est#65533; ante un hombre poderoso, intenso y puede que un poco peligroso. Algo agitada, acepta su propuesta para tomar una copa y antes de darse cuenta est#65533; en su habitaci#65533;n. Y justo cuando Kasie intenta a duras penas olvidar su noche de pasi#65533;n, el hombre misterioso reaparece en su oficina --como director ejecutivo de una empresa millonaria que exige que ella se encargue de su cuenta... y algo m#65533;s--.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In this New York Times bestselling erotic enovella trilogy, a buttoned-up businesswoman takes her friend's advice and has a fling with a stranger on a trip to Vegas--only to find herself under his mysterious, sexy power both in the boardroom and the bedroom. Kasie Fitzgerald knows who she's supposed to be. She's a rising-star-workaholic at a global consulting firm. She's the fianc#65533;e of a well-connected man who's won the approval of her parents. People know that she's reliable, serious, proper, cautious, pragmatic, and yes, a little predictable. She's who Dave and her family want her to be.But as her thirtieth birthday looms, buried feelings begin to resurrect. Her friend takes her to Vegas for one last wild and crazy night. In a dress much shorter and sexier than anything she has ever dared to wear before, she hits the blackjack tables. And meets him. Under the tailored clothes it's clear that this is a man who is intense, powerful, and maybe even a little dangerous. With a touch of trepidation she accepts his invitation to get a drink, and before long, she's in his hotel room.She never gets his full name. Perhaps his anonymity is one of the reasons she's able to give herself over to him and to the moment so completely. Perhaps it's why she's just had the most exquisite and passionate sex of her life. Shaken by her own behavior, Kasie tries to chalk it up to one crazy night. But when the mysterious gentleman she's just had a fling with shows up in her office--as the CEO of a firm her company does a billion dollars of business with a year, demanding that she handle his account, and so much more--things will never be the same again. And there's no telling where this will go... Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
