In a gripping story where the past never stays in the past, Army Special Forces Sgt. Brady Scott and community center director Joss Daniels discover that what they want isn't necessarily what they need. Sent away to deal with his raging temper, Brady is in dire need of a way to let out some steam. He is looking for a smoking hot one night stand to make his worries disappear. Instead, he finds a sweet, charming woman in Joss Daniels and it seems that Brady has found more than just a sizzling night to remember. He also discovers deeper feelings for Joss.

However, when an unexpected turn of events causes them to push each other away, Joss and Brady must now evaluate how their lives will go on from here and whether or not they wish to remain tethered together by this circumstance. As both their pasts are dark and continue to haunt them, neither are willing to sacrifice coming out of their safety zone to face the issue at hand.

As my first novel by Laura Kaye, I immediately noticed her strong, unique presence and voice in the story. Her writing is gripping, free-flowing and so very sexy and I found myself devouring this book quickly. Kaye creates an impeccable hero in Brady Scott who possesses all the right moves that make women feel faint and a touch of darkness that is mysterious and enticing. The heroine, Joss, is a strong, independent woman who embraces her sexuality and doesn't let others push her around. She is an admirable character and someone who I wish I could call a friend.

ONE NIGHT WITH A HERO started with a bang but waned a little bit towards the end. However, that is not to say that it affected the way I enjoyed the book as a whole. I am eager to read more of Kaye's work. She was able to depict scenes in a way that seemed perfect with crystal clarity and created immensely memorable characters and chemistry. ONE NIGHT WITH A HERO is not a book you should skip out on!
