Book Review: Night Fever (Night Fever Serial #1) by Jessica Hawkins

Night Fever

Author: Jessica Hawkins

Genre: Contemporary/Erotica, Serial

~ SYNOPSIS ~

Lola Winters’ heart already belongs to Johnny, but for him, she’d sell the devil her soul. Unfortunately, the devil wants something else.

Beau Olivier is the kind of wealthy that buys anything—even people. When he makes Lola a proposition, she finds herself tempted into a seduction that will have her walking the line between comfort and humiliation, desire and resistance. He would own her—for one night. She would be his—for a price. It was wrong. It was scandalous. It was the opportunity of a lifetime.

Sex, music, neon on the Sunset Strip—right in the middle of it all, he would have her. Come sunrise, he would let her go. At least, that was the plan.

This book made me say *WOW* and then I felt relief that I only have to wait 1 week for the next part to be released. I love Jessica Hawkins....her ability to spin angst amazes me. I love angst. I NEED angst in a good book. It makes me so excited. True angst...not made up drama. And that is what this book had for me!! I love that she was able to make me love and hate the SAME character, mere sentences apart!!!

Lola and Johnny are in love....and they have been together for years. It's a simple love. An honest love that is just moving along, day to day. No excitement, no drama, they just.......live. I almost (allllmost) want to say that it is a stagnant love, a comfortable love. It doesn't appear they are moving in any discernible direction.

Beau happens to come into their 'home' and (*bites finger, smiles and looks up to the left*) HE made me swoon. He has charisma. He has style. He has taste. He has that certain something that makes you want to giggle and live in your own little happy world (with him)! He pretty much walked in and eff'd with Lola's comfort level. I loved reading about the draw, the pull, they had towards each other. But Lola made sure he knew that she was with Johnny and was happy where she was. She wasn't looking to change anything and her life was happy just the way she was living it. 

"So I'm wrong then," Beau said. He stood far enough from her that their conversation wouldn't have appeared intimate. But each time he spoke, it was as if he removed another layer of her clothing, and now she was too close to being exposed. "I'm wrong that this attraction is one-sided?"

But it seems that Beau is feeling something for Lola....and he is willing to pay to explore that 'something' with her. I admit this sounded a little "Indecent Proposal-ish" to me, but the more I read, the more I fell in love with this story. It really is a story that I couldn't put down. I read it all in one sitting as it's only a serial novella, but I didn't want it to end!! I wanted more of Beau and Lola. I loved the way he talked to her, the way he handled her and the way he made her feel....even though she tried 'not' to feel it. UGH!! I need moooooore!!!

The idea of being consumed by Beau did scare Lola, but it excited her more. 

Jessica has this ability to make you fall in love with the other guy.....just like she did in The Cityscape Series. It was my favorite series of 2013 so I knew going into this one that she was going to make me crave another man....again. This book was so sexy and alive! So demanding and sensual! I love Jessica. <--I said it. I am very anxious to pick up the next book in this serial and will devour it just as quickly as I did this one. I. Need. More.

Book Review: Night Call by Jessica Hawkins

Night Call

Book 2 in the Night Fever Serial

Author: Jessica Hawkins

Genre: Contemporary/Erotic

~ SYNOPSIS ~

With their dream within grasp, Johnny and Lola make an offer on Hey Joe--only to discover that a million dollars doesn't go as far as they'd thought. As the price of the bar rises and expenses pile up, Lola begins to question what she really wants.

Lola knows she can solve their problems with one phone call, but she may risk going too far to have it all. Because she's not dealing with just anyone--she's dealing with a master. For Beau Olivier, there's no such thing as too far. There is only conquest. There is only victory.

Beau and Lola already had their night together, but it wasn't enough. They need more. And the more they need. The more they have to lose.

~5 STARS!!!~

Where to begin!!! This.....THIS book!!! Oh my gosh!! Just, oh.my.gosh. 

"Whiskey and Lola," he said against her skin. "My new favorite flavor."

So, after leaving off Night Fever with a smile.....but a need for more, I ended this book with a shouting match with a friend. All on MY end, of course. This book left me shaking!!! The turmoil, the angst, the heartbreaking ending that left me needing MORE. I need more. I want answers, I need answers....I require answers to function!!!

A night like the one they'd had could never be duplicated. It also couldn't be forgotten.

I love angst. 

I love alphas. 

I love forbidden love.

This book had all of this. It had what I needed and wanted and I want MORE of it. Jessica really did a good job in drawing me into the passion that was raging between Beau and Lola....such a gooood job. I shake my head because, while reading a scene between Lola and Beau that was so volatile and so anger-soaked and so heartbreaking, I was left with stuttered breath. My jaw slack, my pulse racing and my heart breaking....this one left me aching for more.

"Which one of us are you fighting, Lola?" he asked against her mouth.

"Me or you?"

Jessica, bravo. What can I say....how do you love someone, then hate them....then fall deeper in love and then get so angry??? All at something (or a situation) that ultimately was out of their control....? Waiting for Book #3, Night Moves, is thankfully only a week away. This was so good. So. Good.

So when she purposely disappears into thin air, leaving him empty-handed and alone, Beau is consumed with the need to find her.

As Lola gets farther from his reach, Beau is driven to the brink of insanity trying to get to her. When he finds himself at the ledge, he has to decide if he can let Lola go for good—or if he’s going to bring her down with him.

This is a SERIES review and the series overall gets a 4.5 star rating. I wont be rating these individually, but the series was FANTASTIC. 

Having said that, I did review the first two books originally:

Night Fever

Night Call

I ★loved★ them. Absolutely loved them. These books had so much going for them that I couldn't wait for more. 

✔ I got Angst

✔ I got Drama

✔ I got more Angst

✔ I got serious Sexiness

✔ I got even more Angst

✔ I got Pain, Love, Anger and Joy

✔ I got an Alpha that didn't know when to QUIT!

Did I mention that there was some angst here....because there was a tad.

I got it all and this series was awesome!

Jessica Hawkins is a must-read author for me. I recommend her books on a daily basis, at least....and I always hear back good results. Her books are full of angst and alphas. Alphas that go after what they want, don't listen to others and make their own decisions. No matter how much crap they have to go through.

The Night Fever series was just that. A man that has found his kryptonite and wont accept the obvious. Lola was the one. The one that brought him to his knees and made him beg for more, but he wasn't going to accept it. He wasn't going to allow his vulnerability to show. He had no weaknesses and he could do whatever he wanted, because he had the power and the wealth to back him up. 

Right? 

Yeah....no. 

~ Lola's power over him wouldn't go away just because he wished it would. That was becoming obvious.~

I love that we were dragged through the dirt with this one....we got deep and intense when the feelings started to emerge. All of the sudden, walls needed to break down. All the barriers: pity, pride, self preservation; all that stood in Lola and Beau's way to love, that had to break down into the very depths of their souls to truly move on and to love. Lola and Beau fought something that was indisputable. Undeniable. REAL. I really enjoyed seeing this side of the agreement that didn't go according to 'contract'. 

~But if this is insanity, I like it here. Fuck, do I like it.~

 This series is the perfect weekend read....you will get swallowed up and wont be able to put the book down. I could NOT pull myself away from these books. I made dinner, fed the kids and went to my room to finish. It's the type of series that you want to devour.....you want to just let your heart absorb the words. I can't recommend this series enough and want everyone to read it!! 

Did I like the ending? Big fat NO. It ended too quickly and I wanted to soak it all in.....<sigh>. So good. Just so good. The emotions that Jessica evokes in me....aaack!! They just move me. I love the way she writes. It's so easy to follow and I can appreciate the depth that she tries to convey. Easily. Magnifique.
