This book is a brand new novel expanded from a short story of the same name.
A seductive stranger gives Josh everything he wants, but one night of lust could get them both killed.
Driven by a combination of alcohol-induced recklessness and an overwhelming desire for something real, Josh ventures into a dark and seedy bar and lusts after a sexy, enigmatic hooker. When Josh negotiates a price for one night of pleasure he can’t know that when his time with Ethan is over, he’ll be left shattered and forever changed by the encounter. Fleeing with his son is the only means of ensuring their survival amidst the chaos of what comes next, and there’s only one man he can trust to keep them safe.
A hooker who isn’t a hooker at all.
Ethan is on the brink of completing a covert operation that will enable him to infiltrate a human trafficking ring. Yet, when his conscience clashes with his mission, Ethan disobeys orders, jeopardizing everything he’s worked for. Forced to escape, he takes Josh and his son, but he has nowhere to go, and now, their only hope lies in seeking refuge in an isolated safe house far from prying eyes.
Protecting Josh, Ben, and a tuxedo cat called Oreo, is Ethan’s priority. Only he has no choice but to resume his undercover role, and he must leave Josh and Ben behind.
When a gun is pointed at his head, his final thought is that he’s lost everything that matters; can he make it home to his new family? Or will he have to die to protect the people he loves?

A fantastic start to a new series!
RJ Scott has long been one of my go-to authors for heartwarming stories and now she’s becoming one of my go-to authors for thrilling action stories. Her Lancaster Falls trilogy was fantastic storytelling and now How Much for the Whole Night (HMFTWN) is right up there with it.
Much of this book kept me on the edge of my seat with my heart beating a little faster than normal. For something that started off as a short story, that she never intended to be more, I thought it was amazing. It’s been quite a long time since I read the original short story so I couldn’t really remember specific details therefore everything was totally new to me. Once I started reading this book, I had to finish it all in one go.
I loved all of the drama and suspense. There was just enough sexy time so that readers who want that heat should be satisfied. I read books with all different levels of steam so the fact that this one was more weighted to the action and danger was perfectly fine with me.
RJ fans who have read her Sanctuary and Ellery Mountain series will enjoy meeting up with people from those books. But no worries if you haven’t read them; HMFTWN works completely fine as a standalone story.
I’m purposely not giving any nitty-gritty details about the story; the blurb does a fine job of telling you what you need to know. All I want to say in closing is that HMFTWN is a fantastic start to a new series and I’m ready to read the next one whenever RJ is ready to write it.
