Free Momentary Lapse Engineered By Toni J. Strawn Provided As EPub
a momentary lapse in sanity, it sure turned into one steamy relationship!
Afteryears of being pimped out on the beauty pageant circuit, Madison St.
James expected the picture perfect life her mother promised, not a man accidental butt dial from her cheating fiancé, So tonight, she's determined to be somebody else, to forget her problems and drink her night away, When she meets Cole Langford, she's intrigued by his good looks, but then the jerk opened his mouth,
Cole hasn't felt a genuine thrum of arousal in a long time, but the moment Madison walks through the bar, his libido soars back to life.
The two share one hot, no holds barred night together before Madison has to leave the next morning, But Cole isn't giving up that easy he's not felt a connection to another woman like that in, . . ever. Something about Madison makes him want to open his heart to her, but Cole's been burned before by the obnoxiously wealthy.
Will he be able to trust Madison with his heart Will Madison be able to step out from her mother's thumb and give a guy from the wrong side of the tracks a chance
MOMENTARY LAPSE is the second book in the One Moment series, and I'm so glad I gave it a chance, as I liked it much more than book! Cole and Madison started off on this decadently erotic one night stand, but fate has them meeting again, Cole offering to help Madison by moving his sister in as a roommate.
The chemistry even had my Kindle begging for a post coitus smoke, it was just that potent!
I adored Madison she's totally not what she seems but lacks the courage to step outside her comfort zone and stand up to her mother.
She can finally be herself with Cole, and he encourages, endorses and shares her sexual proclivities, Cole was a bit of a bastard, constantly judging Madison for the circles she ran in, I get that he was wronged by the wealthy, but to be so distrustful based on something his asshat uncle did years ago sucked for her.
The writing and editing were well done, and although the story wasn't particularly unique, it was still a hot read by an author I'll look for in the future.
Bottom Line: A good read from Ms, Strawn, and one that fans of good ole' erotic romance will find delicious, See more at: sitelink theromancereviews. com/view

Won this in a giveaway, was definitely a great read, Thankyou I read a lot of historicals and contemporary books rarely catch my interest, This one did. In a big way. From time to time while I was reading this, I would run into the kitchen and open the freezer door just to cool off my eyeballs.
Talk about sizzle! This book is really hot from beginning to end,
Though the tale is very steamy, this one has a delcious bit of wit, The main characters were very compelling and realistically written, I also enjoyed the way the side characters had a refreshing bit of depth to them, They have stories of their own and aren't just there to move the plot along, I especially loved Cole's little sister, Jess,
The book takes place in Maryland, Ive lived in Maryland and she seems to know her stuff because the setting and the little details were very authentic.
Best of all, Im a plotty person the plot bubbles along nicely, while never being predictable which is always a hit with me!
And it's hot as hell! Did I mention that From the first chapter all the way to the last.
Make sure your freezer is handy, I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads
hot
Having read bookwhich is Marcus and Abby's story, I was delighetd to get a chance to read another in the series.
Ms Strawn has a good turn of phrase, and deals with interesting issues head on, Her characters have looks and brains, and will change their views if given enough prodding!
This installments pitted two fundamentally similar, yet superficially different people against each other but with
a level of chemistry that neither had the strength to resist.
Cole is in business with Marcus from 'Moment of Weakness' and Marcus is supportive when needed, although he doesn't feature in the book otherwise.
Cole has a huge chip on his shoulder, and it takes a lot to get him to rethink his opinion of anyone who has grown up entitled.
Therefore when he meets the very beautiful, society belle Madison things get interesting,
We read the story from both their viewpoints, and so can see the car crashes as they pile up but also know that they are two really decent human beings, who need to catch a break! The side characters such as Logan and most definitely Jess, Cole's sister, are great, and Madison's mother is easy to visualise if you have ever watched Cruella de Ville! at least that is who I saw her as!
Some lovely funny moments, some sad ones, and some very, very hot ones.
This is a good read, and I am now looking forward to the next one in the series!
sitelink Id preordered Momentary Lapse, the second book in the One Moment series, after enjoying the first one so much and when it burned its way onto my kindle I wasnt disappointed.
It is a hot, hot read and yes, I was expecting that, after Moment of Weakness, but I think I enjoyed this story even more than the authors debut.
I felt the novel was even more polished, the writing flowed beautifully and the plot was well thought out,
The emotional depth of the main characters was extremely well developed and I found myself drawn into their love story, right up until the final page.
The author has a knack for building strong, real characters and all her secondary characters are interesting enough to deserve their own books.
I look forward to seeing how Ms Strawn surprises us with the next instalment in this spicy series,
Sizzling Hot!!!
I loved the second book in Toni's One Moment series,
The interaction between Madison and Cole was steaming hot, yet moving, drawing you in to their emotional battles,
The story is well written great plot, plenty of tension and an emotional ride to the end, Any man can get down and dirty, A real man cleans up his own mess, One Moment, BookMadison St James's life is a glittering fairy tale until her Prince Charming turns out to be Prince Cheating.
With the help of a sexy stranger, Madison becomes someone she's not for just one night, Confident, uninhibited, and up for noholdsbarred sex, It's hot. It's sensual. And so real that Madison doesn't see how she can ever return to her superficial life, But with no money of her own, no job and no experience, Madison is trapped, Just like her manipulative mother planned, Cole Langford has one of the most powerful names in Maryland, but none of the money and prestige that go with it.
But he knows firsthand what it's like to get kicked to the curb by powerwielding megalomaniacs, Lately Cole's libido's been on holiday, Even his old hobby of seducing rich social climbers and leaving them begging has lost its appeal, But Madison is like decadent candy, and Cole isn't satisfied with one tiny taste, Even if going back for seconds has disaster written all over it, Warning: Contains an appetizing onenight stand in a hotel, saucy sexcapades in a deserted stairwell and proof that sometimes you have to strip down and get naked in front of the mirror to truly see yourself.
