BLURB.
One night turns into obsession.
From the moment I saw Autumn dancing in the bar, gravity yanked me to her like a magnet.
Completely mesmerized by her green eyes, her hot pink hair, and nerdy glasses, I approached her and demanded a dance.
Then a dance turned into a one-night stand.
In that one night, I couldn't deny the ignited fire between us.
In that one night, I fell in love.
Call it fate, call it destiny, but I knew she was mine.
Mine to love.
Mine to conquer.
Mine to possess.
I know she feels the passion between us, but she's in denial.
So there is only one thing for me to do.
Steal her away and make her see that she's in love with me too.

She removes the top from the bowl, and she digs into the shrimp soup, licking the plastic spoon. My dick twitches in response, and blood rushes south.
“I’ve never done this before,” she murmurs.
I stab a scallop with a fork and put it in my mouth before chewing. “Done what?”
Her cheeks turn a shade of pink. “A one-night stand. I’ve never had sex before.”
My eyes veer down, taking in how beautiful her body is. The thought of her having never been touched blows my mind. Mine. I have to have her, and the urge to fuck her is growing by the minute.
“Why haven’t you fucked yet?”
“I have no time for dates, and the men I meet are not people I feel like I should have sex with.” She clears her throat and uses her thumb to push her glasses up her nose. “I want you to coach me, teach me how to have sex.”
I lean next to her and brush a kiss against her forehead. “You’re going to come so much you’ll forget to breathe.”
She sighs. “How old are you?”
“I’ll be thirty-three in January.”
I slide off the stool and stand behind her with my hands on her shoulders. Her skin is soft like velvet, and her perfume lingers in my nostrils, sending me into overdrive.
“Tonight, I’m not going to teach you how to have sex.” I nip the tip of her ear, and she moans, biting her plump lip. “I’m going to worship every part of your body. I’m going to make you scream my name and make you come on my tongue first before I fuck you so hard, you can’t walk straight.”
MY REVIEW.

Not Sure About This One...
In the author's note, J.M. Stoneback says this isn't a dark book, which it isn't, however she seemed to try the toe the line with the darkness. There definitely are some dark subjects along the storyline and had she taken the darker road, this could have been an angsty, different read for me.
Autumn and Viper at a bar one night, he is instantly drawn to her and her to him I suppose, it's not like she really had a choice. I wasn't sure about either of these characters and the love at warp speed didn't help the situation. Autumn is a kid, she may be twenty one, however acts like she's sixteen, no parents and this thirty two year old man swoops in and takes over her life. She was a little girl lost to me, so when the one word I hate in steamy scenes was said and I pretty much checked out.
The book written descriptively which I appreciate, however it felt like the author was out of her comfort zone and it took on a cheesy vibe as we went on. While I like a novella, this wasn't enough pages to develop a story like Autumn and Viper's which left it feeling choppy. The Viper reads as a standalone, with the next book set up.
