This wasn't a bad read. A good concept, not one I've read before I don't think - twin brothers taking each others place as an Escort. Don't think it's quite for me though. I have a dislike for couples who "fall in love" within days of knowing each other. Other than that, not bad.

Average Action Film
Rather low budget action film, following the typical Die Hard style plot. A pilot teams up with a Prisoner on escort after the Plane crash lands in dangerous territory.
Some good shoot out action later on but a rather slow build up. The 2 male leads make this watchable though but something you'll be in a rush to book a ticket for.

Animated kids movie, starring what might-as-well-be Aardman Animation's new mascot Shaun the Sheep (who has seemingly eclipsed Wallace and Gromit ever since first appearing in 'A Close Shave'), in which Shaun must escort a small Alien back to his spacecraft, that has crash-landed near Mossy Bottom Farm.
Taking it's cue from the silent movies of yore, there is no dialogue in this - with, of those who can talk, everyone talking in gibberish - while there are also plenty of sneaky sci-fi references peppered throughout its runtime,

Christian Bales stars in this movie as CPT Blocker. Blocker is a veteran of the Indian Wars, and is tasked to escort Chief Yellow Hawk, played by Wes Studi. Blocker has reasons to dislike Yellow Hawk, but it's mutual, as they both killed each other friends/kin during the wars. Blocker only takes the job because he is about to retire, and he'll lose his pension. There are various other characters that enter and exit the wagon party. Ben Foster is introduced around half-way through the film, when Blocker is also tasked with taking SGT Wills to be hung at another fort. Wills serves as a foil to Blocker. Overall, a great movie, and a great cast.

This is my third book by the author, I think, and one thing I've noticed is she does a lot of background. And in this, I didn't care--AT ALL! I didn't care how he became an escort or what his clients liked or disliked.
I wanted him to meet this client he falls for and find out how he was going to make the relationship work with her considering his job and the mentioned age gap. Nowhere near that by 28% in--and 3 days later--so I'm giving up since I haven't enjoyed it much up til now.
I think I'm going to avoid this author in the future.

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish.
JUST ONE NIGHT is a standalone story in the Billionaire & Escort trope. Madden is the billionaire and Asher is the escort. Both of them are confident men, hiding their inner bruised selves from the world. However, both of them also have strong females in their lives. For Mads, it is his older sister; for Asher, his best friend. Both women know exactly what has gone on in the lives of their men and aren't prepared to stand by any longer.
I LOVED THIS STORY! And it's in a genre that usually doesn't do much for me - probably because I'm about as far away from being a billionaire as you can get! There are no unnecessary miscommunications or misunderstandings. Things happen, explanations and reasons given, BOOM, let's sort it out. I can't tell you how refreshing that was. Instead of all that angst, you get two adult men who know what they want, uniting in their feelings for each other, against those who seek to cause damage.
The pacing is smooth, the descriptions vivid, and the characters both lifelike and loveable. The steam is off the charts and I loved how their relationship grew. There is an epilogue that not only gives you everything you want but also left me wanting more from this pair. I did NOT want this book to finish!
Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Highly recommended by me.

Freddy Ferguson is a private investigator. While walking through the San Francisco airport, a blonde woman catches his attention as she is being escorted on to a flight to Hawaii. She doesn't look very pleased with her escort, maybe this is why she catches Freddy's attention. There are other people in the airport as well that seem to be watching her and her escort to see if they are doing what they should. After she boards the plane and her "handlers" clear the area, she gets off the Hawaii flight and gets on another bound for Chicago. Shortly after take off, the Hawaii flight explodes in the air. Did this woman know the plane was going to blow up? Where did she go and do the people who were looking after her know? Now working with the airline to try and find who did this, Freddy finds corruption in the highest of places. Will he be able to find out what is going on and find the girl?
Thank you to NetGalley and Stolen Time Press for the opportunity to read and review this book.
At first this book started out slow for me. I didn't like taking so much time flashing back to Freddy's life. I'm not sure how it tied in with his current situation. Over all the book was pretty good. I felt a very personal connection to the book with all the places mentioned in it in the Washington, D.C. area where I currently live and in Texas where I spent my college years driving all around the state.
Overall, the book was pretty good, redeeming itself towards the end, keeping me drawn in to find out what was going to happen in the end.
