Publisher's summary

A breathtaking novel from the number one New York Times best-selling author of the This Man trilogy.

One night will never be enough...

Livy notices him the moment he walks into the coffee shop. He's heart-stoppingly stunning, with a blue-eyed gaze so piercing she's almost too distracted to take his order. When he walks out the door, she thinks she'll never see him again. Then she finds the note he left on his napkin...signed M. All he wants is one night to worship her. No feelings, no commitment, nothing but pleasure.

Every defense mechanism Livy has adopted during her solitary life is at risk of being obliterated by this confounding man. He's obnoxious but well-mannered. He's a gentleman but aloof. He's passionate but emotionless. Yet the fascination is so powerful, Livy can't deny him...or herself.

M awakens something in Livy, something deep and addictive that she never knew existed-and that she fears only he can satisfy. But she senses that behind the fast cars, fancy suits, and posh apartment, he's aching inside. To have him, body and soul, she'll have to brave his dark secrets. Delving into his world and breaking down his defenses become her obsession-an obsession that could shatter her heart beyond repair . .

It's Not Over

If you could sum up One Night: Promised in three words, what would they be?

Hot, Emotional, Surprising

What was one of the most memorable moments of One Night: Promised?

When you find out M real job

Yes, I enjoyed her last time and this time as well

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

This is not the end of this story and I hate waiting for the next one when I like a book I probably would have waited if I new this was not the whole story but with 15 hours of listening and it did not state there would be more I assumed this was it, now I have to wait hope it is not long, UGH!!!!

Miller Hart & Olivia Taylor

review in progress

*****SPOILER ALERT*****

Audible review. Standalone. The narrator does a good job, the intro and finalé music is annoying. Copied ideas: the broccoli/vegetable moment from 'Pretty Woman' & the short dress & closing elevator moments from "Fifty Shades.'

Miller (29) elevator issues, OCD, make escort, club owner & hobby painter & Olivia (24; aka Livie/sweet girl)

Olivia's mom was a prostitute and disappeared when she was 6. When Olivia was 17 she found her mom's diary, Olivia retraced and reenacted her mom's path.

Stands out in it's genre - in a very good way

I've listened to a few of this erotic fiction genre and this is the best by FAR
The female lead has 'sass', the male protagonist is (of course) tortured but, for a change not torturing and the sex is very hot.
Great to hear an English story and all the hotter for it.
The series just gets better
Very good narration too

Unexpected favorite

Who was your favorite character and why?

Grandmother! She's fun!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No it didn't make me laugh or cry, but it captivated me and kept me enthralled the entire time.

Any additional comments?

Great story, can't wait to finish book 2 and book 3 is coming out in Feb 2015. Although the first few chapters had me going, "why is this main character so clumsy and stupid?" but after she gets her act together, it quickly got a lot better and the story moved at a good pace. I started my audible subscription few months ago and I finished a few series, this is definitely one of my favorite thus far. IMO, much better than Fifty Shades, almost as good as the Colorado Mountain Series by Kristen Ashley.

ONE NIGHT'S DEFINITELY NOT ENOUGH!

I didn't bother to read the description of this book before pre-ordering with my credit. Didn't feel it was necessary because future books by Jodi Ellen Malpas became an instant purchase after THIS MAN. I know that series wasn't for everyone but, I couldn't get enough of "Central Jesse Cloud Nine"! Of course I compared ONE NIGHT to THIS MAN, and initially I thought, hmmm ok, good effort but not as intense and raucous, which ultimately was perfect--One Night was like a slow burn and I loved it.

As much as I enjoyed this book, I wasn't sure where the story was going for the longest, I didn't understand Miller's fascination with Olivia, and for a minute, my favorite character was octogenarian Nan! It was just at the point when these two finally got together for the one night, that all Miller's cards started to show and it just got better and better.

Don't be deterred by the similarities to THIS MAN; its different enough to put it in it's own class of sexiness that I highly recommend if you're into 'dark romance' as I like to coin it.

Love, love, love this book!

It was so exciting sexually as well as character wise. I read the paperbacks of this series years ago & liked it better than “This Man” series. Livy has come from such heartbreak, you know Miller probably has too, but his entire story hasn’t been revealed yet. The prologue is a little slow, but worth the wait. You do need to read/listen to all 3 books to get their full story.

Creative, beautiful and charming

Would you listen to One Night: Promised again? Why?

Yes! I was excited from the beginning knowing the authors other works and it kept me on the edge the entire time. The story was unpredictable, sexy, frustrating and beautiful. I read it then bought it here on audio because I love the narrator too.

What other book might you compare One Night: Promised to and why?

"This Man" was a similar read in level of interest, setting (London) Irresistible man that has flaws and undeniably beautiful. The female character is real with her own hang-ups and is a head turner that doesn't know it. The author is witty and creative to keep the characters from getting overly repetitive.

What about Edita Brychta’s performance did you like?

LOVE Edita Brychta's voice. I've searched for more audible from her and haven't found enough to satisfy my craving for sultry British talk!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

24 hours to worship you

Any additional comments?

I would love to see "This Man" series or the new "One Night" series made into a movie!!

Anxiously anticipating the release of the next in the "One Night" series!

Loving the story but....

I'm loving the storyline. but the main character Livy is starting to rake my nerves..the wishy/washy, mommy issues is staring to get old. and her always running away is getting old too.Fight for who and what you are. I am interested to see where the story goes and who is William to Miller.. I know it's going to be something just like This Man series
