My Review Rating: 
Five years ago Dahlia
Adair left her business partners, the two men she loved. Unable to choose
between them, she vanished with their venture capital and their hearts.
Betrayed by the woman they both love, Todd Shelton and Cooper Montgomery
dissolved their company and their friendship.
When Todd and Cooper reunite, they can't move forward with
their new business until they confront the woman who called them
"interchangeable" before she disappeared.
Five years later, Dahlia wants to live without looking over
her shoulder, Todd wants his love and his friend back, and Cooper wants
answers. With the help of Madame Eve and 1Night Stand, they give Dahlia the
chance to live free of repercussions for her crimes if she’ll agree to spend
one night with them, vowing to make her aware of their differences, and offer
her a life they're sure she can't refuse.
Absolutely love the one 1Night Stand Series and this story did not disappoint. The author did a great job in giving the points of view from all three characters involved so we get to know what is going on in each of their minds. I don't like to give spoilers. With this short story its hard to say much without giving it away. The love scenes are hot and I can say that Dahlia is one lucky lady!
Kim Carmichael began writing eight years ago when her love
of happy endings inspired her to create her own.
A Southern California native, Kim's contemporary romance
combines Hollywood magic with pop culture to create quirky characters set
against some of most unique and colorful settings in the world.
With a weakness for designer purses, bad boys and techno
geeks, Kim married her own computer whiz after he proved he could keep her all
her gadgets running and finally admitted handbags were an investment.
Kim is a member of the Romance Writers of America, as well
as some small specialty chapters. A
multi-published author, Kim's books can be found on Amazon as well as Barnes
& Nobel. From alcohol to makeup to
infrared cameras and even scientific lasers studying the atmosphere, Kim has
worked in some aspect of sales and marketing for over twenty years.
When not writing, she can usually be found slathered in
sunscreen trolling Los Angeles and helping top doctors build their practices.
“We want what you didn’t give us before.” Though he tried to
appear casual, relaxed, Cooper’s jaw twitched, betraying his tension.
The money. No doubt the money. She took hold of the edge of
the table, trying to stop her shaking. “What might that be?”
“The chance to know about the other.” He strummed his
fingers on his knee.
Todd put a hand on her shoulder. “The chance to show you the
difference.”
They didn’t mention anything about money. Her stomach
twisted at the way Cooper stared her down as if daring her to say no, and she
shifted her gaze to Todd.
His eyes remained clouded, half closed. The answer to her
question came in the form of heat igniting between her thighs. She shifted in
her seat. What were they offering, a challenge, a choice, or her ultimate
fantasy?
“What if I say no?”
Neither man answered.
One night with them. Her mind screeched to a halt. Instead
of her dream, she pictured tomorrow morning, getting back on a plane to South
America, returning to the small marketing consulting gigs that barely paid her
rent, and spending her nights waiting to be found out. She needed to locate her
spine and get what she truly needed out of the night. “One night and we part?”
Todd moved in closer. “Isn’t this what you always wanted?”
Yes, that was everything she wanted and planned for five
years ago. Of course, back then it wasn’t one night, it was forever.
Wait, she couldn’t want. Her wants didn’t count.
What she needed was to get up in the morning without a
bulls-eye on her back.
She licked her lips. “No repercussions or retaliation?” They
both knew her well and understood her question.
Silence. Even the waves seemed to stop.
At last, they both nodded.
She took a breath. When she walked away tomorrow, she’d make
sure she didn’t replace the bull’s-eye with a heart broken beyond repair, and
haunting memories.
Decision made, she pushed her chair back, and stood. “Did
you get a room?”
Rather than living her fantasy, she would give them theirs
and take nothing more from them. No enjoyment, no dreams, not one more thing.
Maybe she’d walk away with something she hadn’t had in
years.
Peace.
