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 . .

One Night Promised by Jodi Ellen Malpas

When I got this book I was ready for something new to read and get lost in a good book. I started reading it on my way to work and I almost missed my stop. I got into it so fast.

Olivia, or Livy, is a 24 year old woman who just started a new job at the local bistro. She has trouble working the cappuccino machine and it could be the end of her. She comes off as irritating at times and you can’t seem to understand her but the more you learn about her the more you understand what brings this out in her.

You will love Livy’s grandmother, who she lives with, it is the kind of grandmother I wished I had. She is funny and entertaining. Livy’s Nan as she is called is doing all she can to try and get her granddaughter to break out of her routine and not be afraid to go forward. However, it takes a bad cup of coffee and a dark hair, blue eyed man to get through to her.

Miller is a very interesting character as he is a hot guy no denying it. He seems to be perfect but the reality of it is that no one is perfect and he has his flaws and big secrets also. His big secret is one that you don’t see coming and that makes even more interesting. Miller learns all about Livy’s past and her she learns about his she can not quite handle it.

I can wait to read the sequel to this book One Night Denied to see what happens between Livy and MIller and will they overcome their problems.
