Blog Tour: The One Night Stand by Elizabeth Hayley

TONS availnow  

Gabriel Torres thought his life after Major League Baseball would be simple and quiet, or at least quieter. However, as he takes over running the exclusive Players Club, he finds himself continually embroiled in scandal and drama. Surely nothing, and no one could make his life any crazier...Right?

Rachel Adler is a blast from Gabe’s past who crashed back into his life with the finesse of a freight train. But she's a welcome distraction. At least for a night.

Rachel has been working hard to become one of the top sports journalists in the country. She doesn't have time for a long-term romance or irresistibly charming baseball players. A one-night-stand with the man who she knew would hit it out of the park was all she wanted.

But when she gets a tip that Gabe could have ties to one of the biggest sports stories in history, a story that could make her career, Rachel decides that maybe she has a little time for the sexy baseball player after all. As she gets in deeper with both her story and Gabe, Rachel begins to question who she is, what she wants, and what exactly she’s willing to sacrifice for her career.

Will the potential grand-slam romance be stopped short or will Rachel and Gabe be able to go the distance?

 “You have too many clothes on,” she said as Gabe nipped at her neck. “I agree. We should probably do something about that.” “We definitely should,” Rachel replied. She’d barely gotten out the words before Gabe had her moving through his hotel room toward the tall king bed and placed her on it, letting her legs dangle over the sides as he backed away to pull his Commanders jersey off. She gave him this little grin as she brought a finger to her lip and bit on its edge. He wondered if she knew how hot she was--if the act was intentional. But truthfully it didn’t matter. “Is it weird that I want to tell you how hot your chest is too?” she asked. The comment made Gabe smile as he popped the button of his jeans and unzipped them. He’d just begun to pull them down when Rachel said, “Leave them on.” Then she sat up and grabbed his waistband to pull him toward her. His erection, which was still straining against his jeans, perked up even further as Rachel’s lips slid over his lower abs. It was an image he’d file away in his brain for future use: her head moving near his cock as his fingers tangled with her dark hair. He let out a low groan when her hand pressed against his dick. She played with it over his pants for a while before pulling down the zipper the rest of the way and yanking down his boxers enough to free him. She stroked him a few times before Gabe needed his lips back on hers. His thumb stroking her cheek as he kissed her. Her moans grew louder as he rubbed against her, but finally he was able to pull himself away from her long enough to undo her skinny jeans and slide them down her legs. Her thong was next, and he savored the visual as the black lace traced over her skin. He fished a condom from his wallet and tore it open. Squeezing himself as he rolled it on held back his orgasm. Jesus, he couldn't wait to be inside her. He hadn’t thought about her in a while, but God, when he used to think about her he’d imagine how warm and wet she was. And it was that thought that had him returning to her, guiding her down on the bed to he could press into her. Somehow all of his fantasies couldn't even come close to the real thing. Her legs wrapped around his ass as her nails dug into his jeans to guide him even deeper inside. Then they began to move together, their bodies responding to the other’s in a way that he wasn’t sure he’d experienced before. She seemed to almost melt against him. The moans and choppy breaths that escaped her had him speeding up, though he didn’t exactly want this to end. He used his forearms to prop himself up so his weight wasn’t on her completely as he thrust into her. Her nails were on his back, scratching over his shoulder blades before sliding under his boxers. He tensed as her fingertips brushed over his ass, and he willed himself not to come anytime soon. He never thought he’d have Rachel Adler in his bed, and now that he did, he wanted it to be fucking memorable. And not just for him. He knew he’d never forget this. Though her legs were clamped around him, he pulled out almost completely and then drove back in. His thumb went to her clit the next time he withdrew, making her practically quiver beneath him. She was close, and he knew it. A few more steady thrusts into her had Rachel begging him not to pull out again. Her words only increased the pleasure of the moment for him, and he thought about how he’d never get enough of Rachel’s soft please. “Please, Gabe. God, yes. Make me…” But she never finished her sentence before her body quaked with the orgasm that Gabe could feel too. Gabe continued to pound into her until her climax faded enough that he could speed up to find his own release. He wasn’t even sure what he said as he came, but whatever it was he couldn’t help it. It was probably the hardest he’d come in a while, and Rachel had been the one to make him do it. Jace wasn’t the only one who’d won tonight.      


     



Elizabeth Hayley is actually "Elizabeth" and "Hayley," two friends who love reading romance novels to obsessive levels. This mutual love prompted them to put their English degrees to good use by penning their own. The product is Pieces of Perfect, their debut novel. They learned a ton about one another through the process, like how they clearly share a brain and have a persistent need to text each other constantly (much to their husbands' chagrin).

They live with their husbands and kids in a Philadelphia suburb. Thankfully, their children are still too young to read.

Elizabeth Hayley's writing motto is best captured by the words of Patrick Dennis: "I always start with a clean piece of paper and a dirty mind."





Meagan's Review:

So this book was interesting and went down  a path I expected and didn't expect at the same time. Rachel is a journalist who works for a sports magazine. She works on  different assignments related to sports and on the side she is searching for a special story that is only whispered about. I  think my biggest issue with the book is this unicorn assignment. It kind of came out of left field and then just kept getting  bigger. Like where did she first hear about this? How does she know about it? Just basic questions like that, that I wish had a  little  more info. Anyways, our story is about Rachel and Gabe. They had a slight thing back in college and haven't seen each other in years,  but you know one thing leads to another when they see each other and one passionate look turns into drinks and dancing and kissing and  touching and back to a hotel room. Hence our story title. 

From here Rachel's unicorn story picks up some speed and she is given an assignment to uncover this story and find out everything she can. Because  of this story she ends up in the city that Gabe lives in and they happen to run into each other and it's very comical the way these two are with each other as well as with friends about each other. One thing leads to another and they start hanging  out and dating and really getting close. Well  I mean as close as two liars can get to each other. Rachel doesn't tell Gabe the real story she is working on and Gabe, well he lies about his work after retiring from baseball. Then  when Rachel suggests doing a "story" on him he begins to make up these  CRAZY stories  about all the volunteer work he's doing. And then when Rachel's like, ohhh yeah that's great let me take some photos of you doing this as well  as hey let's go check it out, Gabe terrible thinks on his feet to make it seem legit. And for an investigator reporter she's really dumb. 

Eventually, Rachel get's more traction with her story, however, she begins to uncover things she can't unsee or take back and it takes her down a  path she isn't sure she can or wants to go  down. Then again Gabe still isn't being  honest  with her and the lies that come out of his mouth as well as hers are crazy, that every time you read it, it's kind of like,  "Ohh wait till this comes out, OMG are you that dumb? Who would believe that? Wait you want a relationship with this person? Do you even care about this  person?" Super crazy things. But as all things do....the truth slowly comes out. Will Gabe every come out with the truth? Will Rachel really find what she wants? What happens when two people realized they were lying  to each other  about pretty big things? Well you'll have to find  out in this book. Definitely one you're going to want to check out and read.
