His All Night (Edge of Scandal)

by Elle Wright

In relationships, Calisa Harper has clear rules: no expectations, no commitments, no one gets hurt. She doesn't need a diamond ring to bring her happiness. She just needs Jared. Fine, fit, and ferocious in bed, Jared is Calisa's ideal combination of friend and lover. But the no-strings status they've shared for years is about to get very tangled.

Jared Williams is the kind of man most women long for: sexy, successful, and ready to settle down. He knows convincing the commitment-phobic Calisa that forever is nothing to fear won't be easy-especially when his ex turns up with a daughter she never told him about. In a heartbeat, Jared and Calisa's passion goes from fiery to fragile. He wants to hold on to the love they share but is terrified that their next night together could be their last . . .

I'm so pleased I got the opportunity to read this second book in this Edge Of Scandal Series.
In His All Night, the spotlight is on Jared “Red” Williams and Calista “Cali” Harper. This can be read as a standalone, although to appreciate the supporting characters, especially Morgan and Red's twin sister Sydney, I recommend The Forbidden Man too.

Red and Cali think they have been careful to hide the 'friends with benefits' aspect of their platonic relationship, not realising their friends are waiting to see if their arrangement becomes something more. A careless mistake leads Cali to make a blunt remark which leaves Red reeling. The problem? He wants more...only that is far from what Cali expects. Is it time to end their physical relationship, or can they work for a happy ever after together?

Cali is one frustrating woman and I really wanted to knock some sense into her, as she constantly tries to push Red away, when she really doesn't have to. She underestimates his feelings, believing her personal choices in life will be a deal breaker, when it isn't even an issue. She jumps to the wrong conclusion instead of following her heart and listening to what Red is saying, assuming it is better to just walk away. There is more to Cali and Red's story but I don't want to spoil anything...there are obstacles to face and overcome but they eventually find their way.

The writer really knows how to set a scene and draw emotions in an entertaining and believable way. It's easy to become embroiled within the plot and become invested in the protagonists emotions. There is angst, heartbreak, humour and lashings of passion. Elle James is one of my favourite new authors I've discovered in 2015.

I'm loving this series and intrigued to know what is happening in Allina's life next.
