About this listen
I never meant to fall for my best friend’s father—the grumpy, gorgeous billionaire I should’ve run from.
One broken-down car. One reckless night. And suddenly, I’m in Calder Thorne’s arms, breaking every rule without even knowing it.
I thought he was just a brooding mechanic with rough hands and a wicked mouth—one drink, one kiss, one night we swore to forget.
The real heartbreak comes later—when I realize he’s the father of the one person I can’t afford to lose.
He’s older. Hardened by loss. Off-limits in every way. And when he touches me, it’s like he’s starving for something he thought he’d never have again.
Learning he’s been quietly building a future for us wrecks every wall I swore I’d never let fall.
He tries to walk away. I try to let him.
We both fail—and neither of us will ever be the same.

Barbara W 5.0 out of 5 stars HOLY SMOKES This Book is a Perfect 10. Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2025 WOW where does one even begin to describe how PHENONMENAL this romance book by Lacey is. The electricity between Hale and Calder is like watching a thunderstorm. It has some bright and intense moments that keeps you reading until you hit the HEA ending. This is going to be a best seller right here and don't forget to start reading the book even though you are unable to take your eyes off the HOT hunk on the cover. :)
Merry Jelks- Emmanuel 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2025 They meet when she is dropped off at his shop for a car repair and it starts their path. One look was all it took for Calder to be drawn to Hale. She has a light about her that drew him in, and he was never the same, but she is his daughter's best friend and the last thing he wanted was to drive his daughter away, so he tried to stay away from Hale. This heartfelt story is emotionally charged and had me all caught up in the main characters as they navigated their path to happiness. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
La'rina / LaLa 5.0 out of 5 stars One Night Was Never Going to Be Enough Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2025 “One Night With My Best Friend’s Grumpy Dad” by Lacey Lowin was the kind of forbidden fantasy that hit just right. Calder was emotionally wrecked and undeniably obsessed with Hale. Their chemistry was outright combustible. Every moment between them dripped with tension - a grumpy restraint battling filthy desire. I loved how Calder’s constant inner turmoil over Hale only made his obsession hotter. Of course Hale was obsessed over Calder's silver fox energy with a body made for sin. This book was packed with steamy, no-holds-barred spice and delicious emotional chaos. If you love taboo heat, brooding men, and addictive tension, this one was pure, unfiltered indulgence. I devoured it.

The same man who humiliated me, then watched my world burn. The same man whose son I raised in silence. He wants protection? He wants power? He wants me—in a fake marriage inked in blood and unfinished vengeance. But I’m not the broken ...

I accidentally slept with a much older Bratva guy who tortures for a living… I met him at the library of my university. I’m normally a good girl, but he turned me bad. He made me lose control for one reckless night. I sneaked out the next day. But when I’m the eyewitness to a shootout, he’s the one who comes to interrogate me… I had no idea that the underworld existed. I had no idea that guys like him torture people in their basements.

🖤 KINGDOM OF SCARS 🖤 I walked into the Carfano estate for a paycheck— not a legacy carved in blood. Not a boy with storm eyes and scars too old for his age. And definitely not his father. Cyril Carfano is cold steel wrapped in silence. A man who doesn’t speak unless it’s to command. Who watches like he already knows how the story ends. And yet, somehow, I’m still breathing under his gaze. They call him the Ghost. But I’ve seen the man beneath the myth— the monster with blood on his hands and a vow etched into his bones. I should run. But I don’t. Because something in me ...

After arriving at the resort, I caught the elevator to the second floor with the man of the hour who was not the groom but his rich older brother, Stone. Stone Alexander had a tall muscular build, chiseled jawline, and beautiful eyes which means he is out of my league. Every female here wants a piece of him, and they do not care what secrets he may hold up in his penthouse suite.
