This was a short story that reads like a full length novel. It has some drama, unexpected twists and turns, surprise relationships and babies and even a little glimpse into the next story. Loved Linc and Jordan even though I had a hard time with her at certain times. She really needed a wake up call but I understood her hesitation. I also love how we get some visits from the Dare family and loved seeing them crossover into this. It was funny, sweet, sexy, and exactly what I needed.

honestly rating it 3.5... This plots revolves around Linc Kingston and Jordan Greene... from being best friends to become soulmates... I always love how Carly Phillips portrait her characters in story with male being the alpha male and also not being afraid of showing emotions... and the female lead as always as sassy, brave and most importantly caring for other... I also loved the side characters Lincoln's siblings and especially.. Aroura... This novel is a wholesome having up's and downs, happy touching to heartbreaking occasion..

4.25 stars--JUST ONE NIGHT is the first instalment in Carly Phillips’ contemporary, adult THE KINGSTON FAMILY erotic, romance series focusing on the Kingston siblings (Linc, Xander, Dash, Chloe and Aurora), a spin-off from the author’s DARE NATION series. This is thirty-two year old, businessman Linc Kingston, and PA Jordan Greene. Some of the events of JUST ONE NIGHT cross over with, and run parallel to some of the events of DARE TO STAY, book four in the author’s Dare Nation series where we were first introduced to Linc Kingston. Told from dual third person perspectives (Linc and Jordan) JUST ONE NIGHT focuses on the best friends/boss-employee relationship between thirty-two year old, businessman Linc Kingston, and PA Jordan Greene. Jordan has been in love with Linc Kingston most of her life but Jordan is the daughter of the Kingston’s former housekeeper, and as such she has been led to believe she is not socially acceptable with the powerful and elite but when Linc’s father dies, secrets are exposed, and Jordan is there to help navigate the waters of a mind-blowing revelation. A week in Florida found our couple acting on their mutual attraction, an attraction that will lead to another surprise, one in which Linc’s behavior leads to Jordan’s decision to walk away before losing more than her heart. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Linc and Jordan, and the potential fall-out as history begins to repeat itself for our story line couple. The relationship between Jordan and Linc is a best friends to lovers but a relationship wherein our heroine believes she is not worthy of Linc’s love. Raised with the Kingston siblings, Jordan has always felt like she never belonged, a feeling that would be reinforced by the attitude and actions of others. Linc has never acted upon his feelings for Jordan but a family secret will be his undoing. Needing his best friend, Linc seduces our heroine, a seduction that will lead to so much more. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of, over the top, sexually graphic language and text. We are introduced to Linc’s siblings: Xander, Dash, and Chloe Kingston, and Aurora Michaels; Linc’s mother Melissa Kingston; Linc’s former friend and business rival Beckett Daniels: as well as several characters from the Dare Nation series: Austin Prescott, Braden Prescott and Willow James; and Linc’s ex girlfriend Angelica Winston. Chloe’s story line is next. JUST ONE NIGHT is a story of friendships, relationships, revelations and love; a story of family, struggles, acceptance and moving forward. The premise is spirited; the characters are feisty and dynamic; the romance is flirty and intense.
