That awkward moment when you realized that you didn't enjoy that much, a book you wanted to read so bad.
Our mysterious M is not that captivating. He's is sexy as hell I will tell you that much, but I didn't like his personality. He's not definitely Book Boyfriend material for me.
Livy. I didn't like her. She was childish and a lot of things about her were just unbelievable. Actually a lot of things about the story were repetitive, not romantic ( I Couldn't feel sparks between them ), M was rude and arrogant in a not a sexy way. I love Alpha Males, but they way M is, the alpha male personality is like too much for him to handle. Makes me not love him at all. He looks like a creepy stalker and not in a Christian Grey way.
At the middle of the book i was struggling. I wanted to end it asap and when I reached the mark were I knew Livia's secret ( she has one ) and I figured out M's secret ( way too early I figured that one out ) that's when I realized the book reached the predictable status.
Some things were similar to 'This Man" series and other books i have read. I am a BIG fan of Jodi's "This Man Trilogy". I love Jesse Ward. That trilogy was a 5 stars for me. So yes, I am sad. The book wasn't what I expected.

What a freaking roller coaster! The beginning started off a little annoying, mostly because of Livy & her actions.
I found myself wanted to give up and stop reading with how much she was all over the place and it was starting to get boring. It dragged on... A lot. After seeing him once she was already lusting after him. Acting all desperate over man she just met.
Miller was... A little hard to like. He came off as a controlling OCD person. Everything had to be in its place or he'd flip out. To me he felt cold.. All the time. & the way he talked! "I concur this, I concur that" i rolled my eyes everytime he said I CONCUR! He acted and spoke as if he was older than 29yr old- that get boring and repetitive after the third time. Then he kept correcting her manners! Even when he was trying to be sweet it came off as forced. And the thing with the holding her by her neck when they would walk somewhere!? Weird and possessive. I did not like it.
She gave into him to easily despite her saying she didn't want him, she shouldn't see him, he's going to break my heart and was starting to get clingy despite not knowing ANYTHING about him.
I still don't know what Cassie's relation to Miller really is. The way she acted made it seem there was more than just "Business". If that were the case she wouldn't be acting all jealous or picking out ties with him.
Once I found out about Livy's past, then prologue made sense. (I thought it had something to do with her mother. I guess it did) Miller kept pushing her to reveal things yet he wouldn't.
Then when we found out his work occupation- holy curveball! (I was not expecting that!) that's when it started getting interesting. But it was already at like 90%!! WHAT!
And the way it ended, obviously you're gonna want to get book#2. Well played Jodi. Well played.

REVIEW:
5 Stars
One Night - Promised by Jodi Ellen Malpas
I am stunned. I loved This Man, so I suspected Jodi's new series would be good, but I am blown away. It may be sacrilegious to say this, but I believe she may have outdone herself. I believe this new series is even better than This Man, and I never thought I would ever say that about any series.
"M" is a man that you will fall in love with. You will wonder, like Livy does, about his history, about his idiosyncrasies, but you will not be able to take your eyes off of him. He is a fascinating man, a bit obsessive-compulsive, a bit too proper, a bit too mysterious and secretive, but he is still 100% sexy maleness. I have no doubt "M" will find a comfortable place in your heart right beside Jesse Ward. There is a new Lord of the Manor!
I would love to tell you "M"'s real name, however I won't ruin the suspense for you. But I will tell you that it is revealed very early in the novel. It does not become a big issue like Jesse's age was in This Man.
Livy, on the other hand, is one of the best female characters I think I've ever come across in this genre of erotic romance. She is fully developed with a fascinating back story that will leave you shocked and tearful. I love her sass. I love her innocence. I love her humor. I love her independence. She is totally smitten by "M", but not so much that she cannot confront him when necessary. She is not simply a doormat waiting for "M" to rescue her. I fell in love with Livy, and I think you will to.
The secondary characters are great as well. I loved her Gran. Her gay best friend, Gregory and her waitress co-worker/friend Sylvie. All of them could probably star in their own novels.Read more ›

You know that moment when you are eagerly anticipating a new release from one of the authors you absolutely adore but upon cracking that new book open and reading all 400+ pages of it you realize how much you did not like it and were just forcing yourself to read it all? Well, that was what it was like for me. While I may have enjoyed Jodi Ellen Malpas' This Man trilogy, One Night Promised was definitely not for me. One Night Promised had a pretty strong start, the prologue was enough to keep me reading and had me asking a lot of questions, but as the story went on, pretty much everything crashed and burned, in my opinion.
First let us talk about the protagonist, Livy, a beautiful girl who lives with her grandmother, works at a coffee shop and has a fabulously gay best friend but oh my goodness, please, just stop. More than half of the book was her saying "no" to "M" and then giving in after 5 seconds of denying him. She was so childish and I pretty much wanted to smack her all the time. BUT Malpas tried to redeem Livy by giving her a really sordid and crazy background that did not have its desired effect on me but might have worked for other people (the shock effect was just not there). Just warning you, her "secret" was really predictable. Sigh.
Next, onto the mysterious "M", who does not even stay mysterious, at all. You will be given his name about forty pages into the book (and trust me, it is not a sexy name). I have never been so creeped out and annoyed at a potential book boyfriend before. Let me list the things that turned me off about "M":
He gave off stalker vibes and not in an attractive way. No matter how hot you are and no matter how much you like someone, you never follow someone around like that or badger them.Read more ›
