Review

A great second chance story.

I love second chance stories and this was a good one, albeit a little short with a bit of an abrupt ending. The premise of the 1Night Stand stories (each is a standalone) is that Madame Eve matches her clients with their soul mates, regardless of circumstance or location. Goodreads says the print book is 54 pages; the audio that I listened to was 2 hours long.

Nerdy red-head, Jason Lewis, is awkward in social situation so he decides to book a date with Madame Eve while he’s in Las Vegas for video game convention. While there he runs into Major League Baseball player, Blake, whom he tutored in high school. The blurb for the book pretty much says everything about the story so give it a read.

I’ll add that I really enjoyed the narration by Terrance Leonardo. His voice captured how I envisioned the 22-year-old might sound and the sex scenes were really hot. I was engrossed in the story right from the beginning. The only thing that I found irritating was the use of hashtags throughout the entire story. (e.g. They were spoken as “hashtag I’m such as nerd.”) I don’t think this would have bothered me as much if I had read the book but it got a bit tiresome while listening to it. That might be because I’m past 60; younger people might not be bothered by this at all. ?

Because the whole premise of the story is that it’s a one-night-stand, the book does end a bit abruptly but I was satisfied with the HFN. In all honestly, though, I wouldn’t mind a follow-up story about these two guys.
