About this ebook

Book three in the sexy, fun New York Times bestselling Wild Seasons series that began with Sweet Filthy Boy (the Romantic Times Book of the Year) and Dirty Rowdy Thing.

Lola and Oliver like to congratulate themselves on having the good sense not to consummate their drunken Las Vegas marriage. If they’d doubled-down on that mistake, their Just Friends situation might not be half as great as it is now.

…Or so goes the official line.

In reality, Lola’s wanted Oliver since day one—and over time has only fallen harder for his sexy Aussie accent and easygoing ability to take her as she comes. More at home in her studio than in baring herself to people, Lola’s instinctive comfort around Oliver nearly seems too good to be true. So why ruin a good thing?

Even as geek girls fawn over him, Oliver can’t get his mind off what he didn’t do with Lola when he had the chance. He knows what he wants with her now…and it’s far outside the friend zone. When Lola’s graphic novel starts getting national acclaim—and is then fast-tracked for a major motion picture—Oliver steps up to be there for her whenever she needs him. After all, she’s not the kind of girl who likes all that attention, but maybe she’s the kind who’ll eventually like him.

Sometimes seeing what’s right in front of us takes a great leap of faith. And sometimes a dark wild night in Vegas isn’t just the end of a day, but the beginning of a bright new life…

Ratings and reviews

This is one of those cute, adorable romances with likable characters (and plenty of sexy). I enjoyed the whole thing. Lola and Oliver are good people. They are best friends wanting more. Life gets in the way a bit, but they're mature enough to get it right before it goes too far. Dark Wild Night was definitely worth my time, and Oliver is great book boyfriend material.

I've read quite a few books from these authors and thoroughly enjoy their writing style. However this one was a little bit dry for me. I knew early on what the struggle would be but anticipated a better climax. It was resolved in less than a week. I enjoyed some parts, mainly anything Oliver (big fan of his character) & revisiting the other characters but I just couldn't get into Lola's character. Also I'm sure they plan to pop up later in the series but some type of epilogue would have been appreciated.

I'm a big Christina Lauren fan because these women can write very funny, very sexy stories with complex, full characters. The satisfying characters were in this book but the satisfying sex wasn't...there was very little sex between these two hot characters and that's a shame. This book could have been smoking hot, but only came to a simmer. For goodness sake they were only together 5 chapters out of 17...frustrating!
