Unveiled (One Night #3) by Jodi Ellen Malpas


I loved Unveiled. It was better than I was expecting it to be. I especially loved the end. I like how Jodi Ellen Malpas writes the epilogue in the male's POV. It adds something to the book when she does that. This epilogue in particular was amazing. I always love getting into the male's head a little and the ending help me understand Miller a little better. I love Miller's crazy obsessive ways and I love reading from his POV.

I loved that Miller and Olivia got their happy ending with a baby and a marriage. I knew they were cause it is a love story but reading how they came about was wonderful. I  am always happy when I read the end and the characters are married with kids, it makes everything they went through worth it to me.

I didn't see William being Olivia's dad. I figured he was someone that cared about her deeply but not her dad. And I could tell that Olivia and William wasn't expecting it either. I knew Olivia's mom was gonna make an appearance. I didn't think she was dead. Normally, when characters talk about someone as much as these characters did about Olivia's mom in the book that she wasn't dead and would be popping up soon. I figured Olivia was gonna get pregnant too. All the lead female characters always end up pregnant.

I loved that Miller explained his obsessive ways a little better. I liked how Olivia tried to help him with them too. He did get better with the obsessiveness a lot. In book one, I thought his crazy ways was crazy and annoying but in this last book, I ended up loving them. It made Miller who he was and he was pretty damn prefect to me. He still isn't Jesse from This Man series, but he's a close second.

I can't wait to read what Jodi Ellen Malpas has in store next. She is a great author to me and I look forward to her next book.

Unveiled (One Night #3) by Jodi Ellen Malpas

Teaser 1:
His smile nearly causes me to pass out, his dimple appearing and his rogue was slipping on his forehead.

Teaser 2:
"Are you ready to be worshiped, Olivia Taylor?"

Teaser 3:
"Every time I take you, I think it will help quench the desire. But it never does. The minute we're done, I only want you more."

Teaser 4:
"I call it worshiping." "So you really do worship the ground she walks on," Nan asks on a smile. "Oh, I really do."

Teaser 5:
I frown, flicking my eyes back down to the tie. "It's not Miller-perfect, though."

Denied (One Night #2) by Jodi Ellen Malpas


Denied was a good second book in the series. I didn't really see a point in the book besides the fact I got to read about Miller and Olivia. Nothing big happen, there wasn't a big climax or anything. Most of the book, Miller chases Olivia around trying to get her to forgive him, they have a couple of chapters of happiness and then Miller pushes Olivia away. The book goes downhill from the there. Not in a bad way but just a lot starts to happen at the end and it was hard to keep up with everything happening.

Miller was still uptight as ever but we got to see glimpses of his fun side. He does have a sense of humor (who knew) under all the perfect control freak ways. He also has a crazy bad temper. I was shocked when he would go off. He would get so mad and would start yelling and fighting people. The little details about his life was also a little shocking.

I'm glad Olivia made Miller work to get her back. Normally, in books when the couple breaks up the man apologizes and all is forgiven. The couple goes back to being in love but that wasn't the case here. Even though Olivia was misery and wanted to jump right back into bed with Miller, she fought him, ran from him and made him chase her before she finally got back into bed with him again.

The whole thing with Olivia's mom kind of foreshadowed what was going to happen. Everyone kept talking about her, so I knew eventually she was gonna pop up. I wasn't that surprised when she did. William looking after Olivia annoyed me. He just couldn't leave her alone and I didn't understand it. He wasn't her dad, she didn't have to listen to him. To me, it seemed like William felt responsible for Olivia because he was in love with her mom and couldn't save her. I hated the cliffhanger at the end. I hate cliffhangers in general. I don't see a point in them. At least I won't have to wait long to read the next book. February is only a couple of months away and it will go by fast.

Denied (One Night #2) by Jodi Ellen Malpas


Yesterday Jodi Ellen Malpas posted a teaser for her new book Denied which is to be released later this year.

Denied Teaser.

It was a very interesting teaser and makes me want the book now. I love everything Jodi Ellen Malpas writes. The first book in the series Promised wasn't really up to my standards. I liked it but I didn't love it like I did the This Man Series. No book is ever going to compare to that series in my opinion but Denied did look like the series is going to get better as the books come out.

Promised (One Night #1) by Jodi Ellen Malpas


I absolutely love Jodi Ellen Malpas and This Man Series. I love her writing style, the story she comes up with and the characters. I had real high hopes for the One Night series. Jodi Ellen Malpas wrote an amazing series with This Man and I fell head over heels in love with Jesse. I was wondering if she was gonna top the This Man series or if she would be able to write another series just as great as This Man. I can honestly say I don't know.

Promised is very different than This Man. I can't say I love it but I can't say I hate it. It's different. I keep thinking I need the next book in the series to give an honesty opinion on the book. It feel like nothing big really happen in the book. There was great character development with back stories and everything. But I didn't get a feel for the characters as a couple.

Miller is difficult and different. He's mysterious and closed off. He has secrets that I couldn't figure out. He is hard to read. He is however, sexy, super sexy, well dressed, well mannered sometimes, and likes the finer things in life. He is a clean freak and has OCD that fits him in a way.

Livy is young and sheltered so to speak. She doesn't go out or live her life because of her past. She is afraid of becoming her mother and I think every woman is afraid of becoming her mother. I didn't really care too much about her past. Her mother being a hooker seemed like a way to get the reader to love her and it instead annoyed me.

Livy's grandmother and friends annoyed me. Her grandma was trying to set her up and find her a man. I felt like if Livy wanted a man, she would have had one. She didn't need her nosy grandma in her life. Her friends wanted her to have a life and a guy but then when she found Miller, they didn't approve of him. I didn't like her friends at all. Someone like Livy should have different, better friends. Her best friend Gregory reminded me a lot of Tom in This Man series. I thought Tom was super annoying and jealous of Ava and I felt Gregory was the same with Livy.

I did love Miller's little issues. I loved how he was a clean freak. I'm a clean freak and I related to him on that level. Although, I didn't understand why he was a clean freak. People just don't wake up one day and decided to be clean freaks. A little back story on that would have been nice and was needed. I love his thing. He doesn't do romance or cuddles but he loved cuddling with Livy and having himself wrapped around her. It was cute. His OCD with placement of things was weird but made Miller sort of hot and seem out of reach.

I have to read the next book in the series to see where the characters and story goes. Promised ended in a weird cliffhanger and I'm interested in where things are headed.

Promised (One Night #1) by Jodi Ellen Malpas

Synopsis:
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.


Teaser 1: 
‘You said you could only offer me one night.’
‘Twenty-four hours, Livy.’

Teaser 2:
For the first time since I’ve met him, he smiles. It’s a proper smile – a beautiful smile . . . and I fall a little bit more. ‘Because I simply have to kiss you again.’ Leaning in, he gently rests his lips on mine. ‘It’s new to me. I need to taste you some more.’
New? It’s new to him? What, like different from his usual polished, diamond-adorned women?
‘And because what we can create together shouldn’t be passed up, Livy.’

Teaser 3:
I jump a mile when I feel hot breath in my ear and a firm grip of my nape. ‘Come with me.’
I stiffen under his hold, my eyes darting to the bar to see where Luke is. I can’t see him, but that’s not to say he can’t see me.
‘Get up, Livy.’
