About this eBook

Rion Ward fought hard to be free of the Irish mob life. Now, as the co-owner of Boston’s hottest aphrodisiac club, he’s traded crime for the ultimate sexual fantasy. But when the “good girl” from his past walks through Lick’s doors, he discovers that his unconsummated hunger for her never abated.

Widowed for two years from a man who felt that anything besides the missionary position was dirty, Harper Shaw is ready to move on. The first step to feeling alive again is sex. Hot, dirty, black-out-from-orgasm sex. And who better to provide it than the brooding, sexy, tatted bad boy-turned-man she’s known for years?

Rion, however, has one stipulation: He’ll be hers only for one night. One night to explore her every fantasy. One night to push her limits. One night to introduce her to a passion that makes both doubt if it will be enough...

Each book in the Lick series is a standalone, full-length story that can be enjoyed out of order.

Ratings and reviews

Only for a Night by Naima Simone is one of the books launching Entangled’s new Scorched imprint. This novella is small, but packs some serious heat. Only for a Night is a second chance love story with two characters who are completely opposites of each other. At the age of sixteen, Rion Ward intervened when fourteen- year-old Harper Shaw was being picked on by a couple of jocks. An unlikely friendship was formed between a straight and narrow girl and an up and coming criminal from the streets. Years after Rion pushes Harper away for someone more worthy of her, Harper hunts Rion down to give her the only thing he can give her. Rion agrees to give Harper one night of passion and fulfill her dreams. From voyeurism to MMF action, Rion awakens the dormant vixen hidden within Harper. When you’ve had a crush on or been in love with another person for years as these two have, one night isn’t nearly enough. Only for a Night is a good start to the Lick series. I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store for Rion’s best friends and business partners, Sasha and Killian. If they are anything like Rion, their stories promise to be just as hot and passion filled. **Personal Purchase**

This is one of the four books debuting the Scorched line from Entangled. This was one nice fast steamy read. Harper and Rion have a past. They both liked one another, but Rion never believed he could be worthy of Harper. Now Harper is reeling after her life has thrown her two huge curve balls. Now she wants to move on and find the woman in her she knew has always been there. She's been ashamed of that side, but she knows Rion will take care of her. Rion and his friends own a aphrodisiac club and Harper believes that's the perfect opportunity for her. Rion is going to finally have a taste of Harper that he's been dreaming about. What happens when one night isn't enough? Will Rion let past hangups ruin his second chance? Though things gets off the charts hot (a fan or cold glass of water may be needed) there is a beautiful story that goes along with it. Can't wait for more from this series.

Only For a Night has a mellowness that I did not expect. Rion has that dangerous edge that makes him a great target for dirty fantasies and Harper is his forbidden fruit. There was a hardness to Rion that was his shield against the darkness that permeated his life from an early age. He allowed it to influence his relationship with the one bright spot in an otherwise turbulent existence. Harper. Her heart has always belong to Rion but can she convince him of that? Ms. Simone kept the story short but still managed to convey a story that was about more than hormones. Only For a Night is about triumph over adversity and making sure every second counts.

About the author

Naima Simone’s love of romance was firrst stirred by Johanna Lindsey, Sandra Brown, and Linda Howard many years ago. Well, not that many. She is only eighteen...ish. Though her rst attempt at a romance novel starring Ralph Tresvant from New Edition never saw the light of day, her love of romance, reading, and writing has endured. Published since 2009, she spends her days—and nights—creating stories of unique men and women who experience the first bites of desire, the dizzying heights of passion, and the tender, healing heat of love.

She is wife to Superman, or his non-Kryptonian, less bulletproof equivalent, and mother to the most awesome kids ever. They all live in perfect, sometimes domestically challenged bliss in the southern United States.
