REVIEWS for For One Night Only

5 Bookmarks: "For One Night Only is a refreshing unique contemporary romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. I was riveted by the characters and read the entire story in one sitting. From the very beginning of the story where Bethany goes to medically check out Ruben, the chemistry and sexual heat is there between them, and sparks fly. Yet you can feel the characters struggles with leaving it as one night only or trying to build a relationship. How does a strong, independent doctor with her own career like Bethany Shaw emotionally build and maintain a relationship with a rock star, a person who is bigger than life, but is just an incredibly sexy man when it is just the two of them. Ruben's life is open to the public and his every move is scrutinized and stalked, could Bethany handle his lifestyle and constant travel, would she want to, and what does she have to give up to be with him. The two travel to Miami and across the world to Paris together to see if there newfound love can work, while at the same time they are stalked by a crazed fan. As Ruben's past transgressions in life catch up with him the story unfolds at an emotional heart stopping pace. I highly recommend this hot steamy love story and I look forward to reading many more stories written by Ms Ryder." --Daria White, Wild on Books.

5 Stars: "For One Night Only is a sizzling love story. You could feel the sexual tension between Bethany and Reuben. The characters worked well together and were well-developed. The plot caught my attention and held it to the last word. Great summer reading." --Anne Boling, Review Your Book

4 Stars: "I could really feel Bethany’s turmoil as she tries hard not to let the doubts and suspicions creep into her newly found relationship. The sex they share is exhilarating, making you blush. Once the duo meets, the pacing became unstoppable. One thing or the other kept happening until your head is spinning. Ms. Ryder knows how to tell a story and has handled complex emotions like jealousy, envy, infatuation like a pro. I was quite taken with the hurt, confused, and emotionally fragile villain who really deserved something else. Although shaky at times, For One Night Only is indeed a very entertaining mix of spine tingling twists and red-hot loving!" --Mahaira Fatima, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

STORY EXCERPT

‘Are you the patient?’ She had to check. He looked too damn good to be ill.

‘Yes, it’s me. Thank you for coming Doctor Shaw,’ he said, smiling warmly as he shook her hand.

‘So you do actually believe I am a doctor?’ Her words surprised both men, but she couldn’t resist the dig at the short, weirdly dressed guy who had practically frisked her at the door before allowing her to enter.

Ruben smiled in apology. ‘Please excuse our strange behavior, but surely you realize that we need to be very careful?’

She didn’t doubt that for one minute. The singer facing her was globally famous, huge even by Vegas standards, although he was no longer as wildly popular as he had been when his first single was released some years ago. Known only by his last name of ‘Navarro’, his musical style was unique, a kind of ‘Rock/Flamenco’ fusion that relied far too heavily on screaming guitars and raucous vocals for her tastes.

He was a couple of inches taller than her 5’9”. The combination of black collar length wavy hair, dark brown eyes and golden skin was stunning. His features could have been a little too strong, but were softened by long eyelashes and a warm, full mouth. A trace of an accent remained from his youth and gave his deep, slightly husky voice an exotic air.

A brief, tight smile crossed her face. ‘I understand, of course. People are usually relieved to see me. It’s not often that I get interrogated on the doorstep.’

‘Well, we’re happy to see you…right Byron?’ He winked at his friend and turned to give her a wide smile. She fought the urge to return his grin, busying herself by putting her bag down, while she inquired as to the nature of the problem. Retrieving her stethoscope as he spoke, she turned to him.

‘Okay, if you could just remove your shirt, Mr. Navarro.’

‘Why do I need to take my shirt off?’ Ruben exclaimed. His dark eyebrows knit together in surprise, chasing away the boyish charm he had been leveling at her moments before.

‘So I can listen to your breathing,’ she replied in an exasperated tone. ‘There is no need to look so scared. I have seen many bare chests before.’

Ruben flushed. ‘I’m sorry. We have to be careful...’ His voice trailed off as he shuffled uncomfortably.

‘Yes, you told me that already,’ she murmured. ‘Do I look like a groupie, Mr. Navarro?’ she asked, beginning to smile.

He reddened further. ‘No, I guess not.’

Byron coughed and excused himself from the room, making a poor job of disguising his amusement.

Turning his back to her, Ruben removed the black shirt. Bethany raised her head just as he slid the fabric down over his shoulders, exposing a broad expanse of toned muscle. She swallowed hard as she watched his back ripple from the motion, light bouncing along his olive skin. Dropping his shirt onto the bed, he turned to her. Boyish embarrassment gone, it was every inch the man that steadily returned her gaze.

‘Where do you want me, Doctor?’

If his back was gorgeous, his front was better! Taking in his broad chest, her eyes dropped to his abdomen, following the trail of hair until it disappeared into the waistband of his jeans.

‘Doctor Shaw?’

Snapping back to attention, she realized he had spoken to her. She saw his knowing look and felt like she had been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. A quirky smile played on his lips as he asked again where she wanted him. Berating herself, she told him to sit on the bed. After assuring him she was not a groupie, the mere thought of touching him made her nervous.

Mischievous brown eyes twinkled at her as she crossed the room to stand over him. Resolving not to look him in the eye again, she asked him to take a deep breath as she placed the stethoscope on his chest. The contact of the cold metal caused him to flinch momentarily, making her jump in response.

‘Sorry, I forgot to warm it up.’ She laughed nervously, raising the disc to her mouth to breathe on it. His eyes followed her actions and she saw them spark briefly before she moved out of his line of vision. Placing the warmed disc back onto his skin, she found it was hard to hear much with her own blood pounding in her ears.

Bethany moved again, asking him to turn to the side so she could listen through his back. She was mortified to see her hands shaking as she touched him again. Her eyes drifted to where his hands were braced on his thighs and she noted his long, thick fingers. Mouth going dry, she remembered what they said about guys with big hands and dropped the stethoscope all together. Ruben craned his head around to look at her.

Dropping to her knees to retrieve her equipment, she glanced up to find him looking down her blouse. Scrambling quickly to her feet, she straightened her jacket, shielding her body from his eyes, lest he spot the hardened nipples she could feel begging for attention.

‘All done?’ he asked, the lightness of his tone in direct opposition to the intensity of his gaze. He’d noticed all right.

‘Yes, thank God,’ she replied, realizing belatedly that she had spoken out loud. His look of surprise was replaced seconds later by a broad laugh. Flushing furiously, she laughed herself. She really had to get a grip on her nerves.

ADULT EXCERPT

She held the discarded dress against her, unable to simply stand there with his eyes on her body.

‘No,’ he said throatily. ‘Don’t hide from me.’

Obeying him, she felt self-conscious as she waited, watching him strip slowly. He sure knew the value of anticipation, she realized as he took forever to undo his jeans before letting them slide down his legs. Her attention centered on his groin as he flicked his thumbs into the waistband of his underwear, easing them carefully over his erection. Bethany swallowed dryly, unable to help but stare. His wasn’t the first hard-on she’d ever seen. It wasn’t even the biggest. But damn he looked good and she wanted him inside her. She felt the wetness dampen her crotch as her muscles convulsed in anticipation.

‘I’ve been trying to imagine what you had on under that dress all night,’ he said, moving to stand in front of her. Snaking out a hand, he clasped the back of her neck and forced her to close the gap between them. The soft skin of his erection touched her first, sliding up her abdomen and resting there as he pressed his body into hers. A bunched fist in her hair dragged her head back and he looked down at her briefly before trailing his tongue across the slash of her lips. She palmed the skin on his back, letting her fingers trail slowly down to his firm butt. His warmth filled her hands as she pulled him harder against her groin. Taking her lead he slipped the straps of her underwear from her shoulders. Filling his hands with her breasts, his thumbs brushed across her nipples repeatedly and he paused to watch her reaction briefly before dropping his head. His lips started a slow, tortuous journey down from her neck, over her collarbone and onto her breast. She could feel the warmth of his breath as he sucked a nipple into his mouth. Cursing him silently as he removed his lips to focus again on her camisole, she waited as he stroked it down her body, kissing every inch of skin he exposed until coming to rest at the apex of her thighs.

Staying on his knees, he kissed her abdomen, using his weight to push her back to lie on the bed. Bethany began to sit, but he stopped her by hooking her legs over his shoulders, forcing her to lay back. Strong fingers parted her thighs as his head lowered. He didn’t touch her instantly, but she began to writhe as his soft hair trailed along her skin. Just his breath against her nub caused a little tremor and she pulled back instinctively. He held her still as he flicked his tongue over her the first time—as if he knew she would buck against him as the sensation shot through her. Gentle at first, his strokes became bolder until finally he sucked her fully into his mouth, moving his head randomly as he groaned against her.

She was shocked by her reaction. Throwing her head back, she bit down on her lip, trying to stifle the sounds coming from her. Barely able to breathe, she gasped and jerked as his tongue stroked her over and over again. His attention moved suddenly to her inner thigh, nibbling and sucking the skin between his teeth.

She sagged against the bed as the overwhelming heat building in her subsided briefly, allowing her time to register the pain she was inflicting on herself by digging her nails into her palms. His mouth returned to her clit, sending sensations slamming through her again. Clutching desperately at the bedcovers beneath her palms, Bethany started to shake—amazement that she was about to climax replaced by a desperate need to. Her torture increased as he circled her pussy with the tip of his finger, causing her to writhe against him, moaning. Her thighs trembled against his cheek as he kept her on the brink. What was he waiting for? She began to groan and rub against him, praying that he knew what she needed. The teasing finger plunged into her immediately—his mouth and tongue still moving against her as he began to take her with his hand.

‘Oh my God…Ruben!’ she exclaimed, lifting her hips from the bed and grinding against him as the first spasm hit. He rode it out with her, not letting her go until she collapsed, chest heaving as she struggled for air. Finally opening her eyes to find him leaning over her, slightly breathless himself, she clasped his face in her hands.

‘Wow.’

‘You liked that?’ he smiled, fishing for compliments. Reaching up, she brought him down to her for a scorching kiss.

‘What do you think?’
