Mr One-Night Stand is Rachael Stewart’s debut novel and is published by the Dare imprint from Mills and Boon. The instant Jennifer Hayes claps eyes upon Marcus Wright she knows she wants to have a night of no name hot sex. Unfortunately for her after this hot night of unbarred sex she discovers he is her new business partner. The desire continues but will Marcus be her mr right now, mr wrong or mr happily ever after?

A combination of hot sex, two flawed individuals and a new business venture, this novel, like all Dare novels is somewhere between the Modern imprint and the Black Lace series. Enjoyable but I wouldn’t rush to read it again.





I received this novel from Mills & Boon via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. #MrOneNightstand #Mills&Boon #NetGalleyUK #Dare

5☆ Sizzling Hot, Hot, Hot!!!

MR ONE-NIGHT STAND is part of the new Mills and Boon Dare series and I LOVED It!
It's Hot, Cheeky, Sexy, Fiery, Steamy, with a good dash of Romance and Characters that are not to be messed with!

Marcus is a powerful businessman who knows exactly what he wants and usually gets it. Feeling frustrated at the thought of being stood up by his new business partner he hangs around to see if they will show.

When Jennifer struts in, not knowing who she is meeting, she spots Marcus and something stirs inside her, mentally undressing him with her eyes she lures him in.
All Jennifer wants is one night of crazy. No names, no real talk, just wild, no-holds-barred sex.
Marcus is Happy to oblige!

Marcus doesn't bank on meeting a sexy stranger, he never imagines that it would lead to one hell of a night of steamy, passionate fun.
But it's just one night right?

I mean he wasn't to know the women he just had the best night with was his new business partner Jennifer!

We all know it never works out when you start mixing business with pleasure.
But what if the rules were No Strings attached. Just pure desire and fun?

Marcus and Jennifer's desire for one and other bubbles to the surface, it's clearly obvious this isn't going to just be a one night stand.
Both Marcus and Jennifer both have their flaws and issues. Neither will let their guard down, but one things for certain their attraction is like a magnet, powerful and strong.

I loved both Jennifer and Marcus, both deeply flawed, have issues with family, have commitment issues, but just cant keep away from each other.
It was so lovely to watch their relationship unravel. They certainly make a powerhouse couple!
I loved their sassy banter, Jennifer is a force to be reckoned with, she knows what she wants and isn't afraid to take charge, inside and out of the bedroom!

MR ONE-NIGHT STAND is a Steamy, Hot, Fun, Passionate story about relationships, Lust and desire, Working Relationships, Family Drama and a whole lot of sexy fun.
The Characters are so well written and believable, I was rooting for both of them from the start.
The plot is enthralling, exciting, and flows along perfectly, be prepared to get very hot under the collar! As things get steamy very quickly.

If you enjoy your Romances with a sizzling hot erotic twist then you will absolutely love MR ONE-NIGHT STAND!
I can't wait to read more of Rachael's Dare books!

Thank you to Mills and Boon for this copy which I reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Great book after the first couple of chapters
3 stars

After the demise of Mills & Boon’s previous sexy line, Blaze, I’ve been looking for something to take its place. While the Dare line raised my hopes - none of the books really knocked my socks off. or captured my attention fully. As I started to read this book I feared that this was more of the same.
And I felt that way for the first couple of chapters. The writing was good but for some reason I find that the Dare line like the opening scene of meeting to really be drawn out. I need a book to really be fast and snappy right off the bat to catch my attention and make me excited for what’s to come. Two chapters of the couple flirting at the bar and then meeting and having over-explained banter is just too slow for me.

The first sex scene came and I admit I was surprised - it was sexy and nicely explicit with a bit of fairly dirty language thrown in. Now this is what the Blaze line excelled at and this book brought me right back to those gems. There were a good number of sex scenes throughout the book - all very much part of the bigger story and not gratuitous.

For me, the book really started to pick up steam when the initial meeting and hookup were out of the way. That’s when we really got to know our two main characters - Jennifer and Marcus - and they really got to know each other. From this point, I loved their interactions and their banter. They were always coming from slightly different angles and it was fun to watch two strong people essentially want the same things but not be sure how to go about getting them. Having said that, the pair were honest with each other and I liked how there was no faux drama or misunderstandings used to keep the pair apart.

I also liked the setting of the book - the business aspect. It was done in such a way that made it seem real but still left enough out so it wouldn’t overshadow the romance.

And as I mentioned, I really liked the writing style of Rachael Stewart. After those first couple of chapters, the writing really flowed, pulled me in and really made me want to keep reading to find out what happened. There were enough different aspects to the story that kept you entertained and kept you interested right to the very end. But speaking of the end - I get so disappointed when there’s no epilogue. I love an epilogue and feel it really rounds out a story.

I really didn’t know how to rate this story. The first two chapters notwithstanding, it really was a good read. I enjoyed the story, liked the characters, it was well-written and had a good plot. But I have to rate it as a whole, which is why I gave it 3 stars. Still definitely worth a look and I’ll be keen to read more from Ms. Stewart.

4 - "You're worth the risk..." Stars!

Nothing pleases me more than discovering a new author, and Mr. One-Night Stand added Rachael Stewart to my list of M&B go-to authors to keep an eye out for going forwards.

She wanted one night of crazy. No names, no real talk, just wild, no-holds-barred sex…

With the perfect balance of sexy times, story-line and character background, Jennnifer and Marcus’s coming together ticked all of my quickie-romance reading boxes. They were both likeable, both with their own quirks, and both had strong personalities which added to the spice in their bedroom and boardroom escapades, making it a great all-round read.

"The funny thing about rules… They’re all the more fun when they get broken…"

The next book in the series; Mr. Temptation is due for release in June, and I will be at the head of the queue to get my hands on it.

#Dare books always score top marks for hot and steamy romance and uber glamorous couples, but sometimes its hard to believe the situations they find themselves in. 'Mr One-Night Stand' creates the right set of circumstances for it to be believable, and that makes it so enjoyable to read.

Marcus is losing patience waiting for a business client, Jennifer is at her wits end with her business partner, who is late for a meeting. Neither are looking for the instant sexual attraction they experience as they lay eyes on each other. The quick progression of their encounter works, they are confident in all their abilities and used to getting what they want. They both know the rules but they are about to find out that no strings sex, doesn't always come without complications.

The hot, sensual romance is well-written, but the one-night stand is not what it seems, and leads to both business and personal complications for the power couple. Marcus is running scared from love, it makes you weak and he can't take the risk. Jennifer hasn't time for love her commitments are too great.

The gradual realisation that they're in too deep is fun to read, and you have to empathise. The conflicts they face are realistic but so worth the pain. The ending is worthy of such a deserving couple. Loved it!

Thank you to Mills and Boon, Rachael Stewart and NetGalley for the opportunity to read MR ONE-NIGHT STAND.
He's every girl's dream, well, mine anyway. Widower, Marcus Wright is waiting for the guy who sold him half of his business, along with his partner Jennifer Hayes. Tony Andrews doesn't show, but there's a redhead at the bar Marcus wants to spend some time with. The sexual chemistry between them is electric, but what Marcus doesn't know is that he'll not only be sharing a bed with her, but also the boardroom table. Rachael Stewart's novel is part of the DARE series, a sexy foray into the world's of billionaires and cowboys. I've really loved how Mills and Boon has embraced the needs of modern woman; they're just as up for it as men. This is a hot and steamy contemporary romance I read from cover to cover. Mills and Boon have done it again!

I love reading the Dare books so much that I simply can’t get enough of them!

If you think that you know all about Mills and Boon think again!

You know the old saying don’t mix business with pleasure. But can it really be avoided?

Marcus Wright is waiting for Tony Andrews to discuss business as Tony has sold Marcus half of his business. Tony was supposed to bring Jennifer Hayes to talk about Marcus being a business partner, but Mr Andrews didn’t appear.

Marcus meets by chance Jennifer Hayes. With high sexual attraction between Marcus and Jennifer, Marcus decided to take Jennifer home to his place. Jennifer Hayes had no idea she was having hot passionate sex with her to be business partner.

When Miss Jennifer Hayes is confronted with the truth that the gorgeous man Marcus Wright, who she just had a passionate night with is going to be working with her, will Miss Hayes find it embarrassing after having a one night stand with Mr One Night Stand?

There was so much more than this part that surprised me and I do like surprises.

Do you dare to read it? Dare books are my favourite by mills and boon they are written by women, for women that are hot, sexy romances, featuring strong women who know exactly what they want, in and out of the bedroom

Sexy, sassy and sinful. Words to describe both the story and Mr Marcus Wright!

This is the first book from Mills and Boon DARE I've read, and the first book from Rachael Stewart. It won't be the last of either!

I really loved this story and both Marcus and Jennifer from the start. You could tell these characters were so much more then they first appeared. I love how their romance progresses towards the end. I also loved how relatable the story was, I never thought I could relate to a billionaire businessman's story, but his past really touched home for me. I felt for everything he'd been through, and what he had to overcome in order to feel he deserved to have love.

This book is a whole lot of sexy, has a loveable couple with scorching chemistry and a satisfying ending. I really loved it.

Hot, sexy, erotic, emotional romance, with touching tender moments of self discovery of love and not just lustful unfulfilled fumblings.
All this set amongst business mergers and buyouts, family illnesses and commitments. Finishing in a happy ever after ending.

Rachael Stewart hits the ground running with her debut Dare introducing us to a couple who can deny it all they like, but business and pleasure can go together rather quite well.

“ ...work was work. Sex was sex. Never should the two be mixed.”

With a good mix of sweet and spicy and a likeable power-couple who are as down-to-earth and relatable as they are wealthy and at the top of their game in business, who takes the lead is twisted on its head on more than one occasion as lines are blurred and Jennifer and Marcus go from strangers who share a night of passion to finding themselves business partners.

“Maybe it’s that you’re forbidden territory now...”

If you’re looking for a steamy contemporary romance fix between two people who are equally hungry for one another but who also soon realise there’s no weakness in leaning on one another, then this absolutely ticks those boxes.
