HIS ALL NIGHT
Edge of Scandal #2
Elle Wright
Released Nov 24th, 2015
Forever Romance
THE
PRICE OF PLEASURE
In relationships, Calisa Harper has
clear rules: no expectations, no commitments, no one gets hurt. She doesn’t
need a diamond ring to bring her happiness. She just needs Jared. Fine, fit,
and ferocious in bed, Jared is Calisa’s ideal combination of friend and lover.
But the no-strings status they’ve shared for years is about to get very
tangled.
Jared Williams is the kind of man
most women long for: sexy, successful, and ready to settle down. He knows
convincing the commitment-phobic Calisa that forever is nothing to fear won’t be
easy—especially when his ex turns up with a daughter she never told him about.
In a heartbeat, Jared and Calisa’s passion goes from fiery to fragile. He wants
to hold on to the love they share but is terrified that their next night
together could be their last…

“Why don’t you get rid of the stiff and come up to my room?”
Tempted as she was, Cali wasn’t going out like that. “No,” she breathed, suddenly feeling very…hot. “I have a date.”
Slowly, Jared edged closer to her. She retreated until the hard doorknob dug into her back. Reaching behind her, he flipped the lock on the door, the click echoing in the empty bathroom. Sucking in a deep breath, she waited, anticipating his next move.
His fingers flitted across the hem of her dress and he inched it up a bit. Kneeling down, he slipped his hands under her dress and slowly pulled down her underwear. She held her breath, wondered what he would do next.
“Step out of them,” he ordered in a low, deep voice.
Bracing her hands on his shoulders, she stepped out of her lace panties. With a smirk, he stood up, tucked the thin material into the inside pocket of his suit jacket, and pulled out a tiny key card. He placed it in her hand and closed her fingers around it. “Room 1179,” he murmured, his lips a mere inch away from hers. Closing her eyes, she took in the smell of cognac on his breath and leaned closer.
His soft laugh brought her mind back to their location and she opened her eyes. She opened her mouth to speak, but he placed a finger over her lips.
“Shh. Try not to think about what I’m going to do to you, while you’re on your date.” Swinging open the door, he walked out, whistling.
She hated him—in the best way.
His All Night is a sort of cross between Friends to lovers and Second Chance/Unrequited romance.
Jared and Calisa (Cali) have known each other for a long time, they've had a no strings friends with benefits going on for a while as well. But Jared wants more and Cali is afraid to give it.
Cali had a rough upbringing, and its shaped her in many ways. Two of the major ways its molded her are that she's afraid of a serious relationship, and she doesn't want children. She's all about the carefree for the moment and not about settling down for the future. But she's finding it harder and harder to not dig a little deeper with Jared.
Jared is tired of the walls Cali's put up against him and a commited serious relationship. He loves her and knows what he wants with her for the future, but he's not all that sure he can continue their current arrangement.
His All Night finds us in the middle of two people fighting for what they want while also figuring out just exactly what they need. Finding out what will and won't be acceptable and trying to make that work. It's about getting over your fears, and finding yourself, who you truly are deep down.
Jared and Cali's banter was both funny and serious at times. They are both tough nuts to crack with some things and not the best at communicating their feelings and/or their needs. I loved that half of the time they were arguing about the other not meeting some need, but yet they couldn't really put that need into words to explain the problem. It was like they were just fighting to be fighting and push the other person away.
Jared's sister was amazing, I loved how she would step in and very non-plussed told them both how it was and how it should be. She didn't take sides, but she did make her points very clear to each of them at various times.
This story kept me entertained, wondering how and if things were going to work out for Jared and Cali. It made me laugh while also frustrating me, but ultimately just left me looking forward to what would come next from these two stubborn people.

As a little girl, I loved to be holed up in my room creating
stories with my Barbie Dolls. There was no subject I didn't tackle. It was
always my dream to write a soap opera. As I grew older, I assumed that dream
was just that... a dream.
Born and raised in Southeast Michigan, near Ann Arbor, my mother
always instilled in me the importance of reading. There was never a time when I
wasn't going to read, in the process of reading, or just finished reading a
book. It was also my mother who, later on in my life, gave me my first romance
novel: Indigo by Beverly Jenkins. From that moment on, I became a fan of Ms.
Jenkins for life and a lover of all things romance.
I'm living my dream now.
