This was such a sweet, insta-lovey short book. The characters were adorable and I loved the chemistry between the MCs.

This was a nice quick read, the story was sweet and I loved reading it!

I really loved this one. It's fun, quirky and hot - just like the characters. Other than that, there really isn't much else to say. A hot little quick read, to keep you warm and smiling.

Favourite quote:
"Clearing his throat, he picked up a plate and handed it to Travis, hoping if he used proper eating utensils instead of doing indecent things to fruit, John might be able to have an actual conversation with him."

John is a 45-year-old law professor. Travis is 25, has finished law school and has just done the BAR exam.
They both hire an online dating service for a fantasy one-night stand on a tropical paradise. Travis wants a sweet, handsome and smart man. He has to be tall, hairy and at least ten years older than him. He wants to feel loved, protected and cared of. John requested a man aged thirty-five to fifty, dark haired, big and tall. When they met, Travis is thrilled because John is his perfect match. But John is mad because Travis is nothing like what he had asked for.

John rejects Travis and he is so upset he wants to complain about the service and wants his money back, but he also wants to know what’s John’s problem with him. John tells Travis he’s not what he had asked for, and that he is sure such a cutie would not be interested in a hairy old man like him. But Travis convinces John he is exactly what he’s always been looking for.

After the misunderstanding is solved, they realize they are just perfect for each other. The chemistry and attraction between them is undeniable. And heat escalates when they start making out.

Although it is only about 20k words, the depth of the characters is real, they are well written and believable. I would love more of them.
This is a sexy, steamy, low-angst short story that I recommend.

One of the 1nightstand series, so relatively short read - good for a lunch hour or coffee break!!
In this installment, Madame Eve has met Travis's requirements for an older bear, so he is very happy - until John realises Travis is his 'date'. John wanted an older, larger man than petite, twink Travis and is not a happy camper at all!
John is recovering from losing his partner to cancer and subconsciously is looking to replace him - Travis wants someone to make him feel safe and secure. and so, Travis sets out to get his man, even if its just for the holiday.
A good, easy, sexy read - delivers what you expect in the series.

Ok, so I kinda REALLY LIKED this story...It was so CUTE. Short, sweet and smutty. What's not to love?

Travis has hired the 1nightstand dating service as part of his Caribbean vacation, they are matchmakers and guarantee satisfaction. Travis is a young guy, on the the twinkie side. But what he wanted was a BEAR, a big, strong, hairy man to make him feel protected and safe...And oooohhhh boy, when he sees John, his match, he's EXACTLY what he wanted. Problem is John was not expecting Travis. This is his first time out after his partner's death, and a young fragile thing like Travis is not what he think he wants...Well Travis disabused him of THAT notion right quick.

I got a lot more into this story than I thought I would. Maybe I was in the right mood, but that being said, it was well written, the characters where really likable, the sex was HOT, it was sweet, and you wanted them to get a happy happy ending.

Nice Story.
