The Rules of Dating My One-Night Stand Kindle Edition

From New York Times bestselling authors Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland comes a new standalone romance.
Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl.
After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest.
Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more.
I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time.
Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together.
I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number.
In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.
So imagine my surprise when I knocked on the door of an apartment in the building I lived in, and none other than my one-night stand stood on the other side.
If I thought Devyn didn’t want anything to do with me before, that was nothing compared to how she felt after finding out I was the landlord and she was about to be evicted…
And that was just the first surprise that would rock my world when it came to the mystery woman in apartment 410.

Inflamed my heart and fueled my imagination!

The dynamic writing duo, Ward and Keeland, are back with the third contemporary romance in The Laws of Opposites Attract stand-alone series, The Rules of Dating My One-Night Stand, and what an epic love story it is.

I thoroughly enjoyed the last two books, but this one is, without a doubt, my favourite! I became so engrossed in Devyn and Owen Dawson’s lives that I had trouble putting the book down. I look for excitement, compelling protagonists in real-life situations and a solid plot entangled with a sprinkling of angst, which the authors delivered hands down.

An unforgettable no-names one-night stand is just that. But Owen cannot get the mysteriously attractive woman who blew his mind out of his head. What Devyn did was totally out of character but a much-needed respite from her already complicated life. Nonetheless, the universe decided to play an unpredictable trick on them. How they would navigate their journey is for you to discover and will undoubtedly keep you wondering if they can overcome all the obstacles–and there are plenty!

Devyn’s generous soul melted my heart. I liked that she’s a doer, not a thinker and wants the best for the folk she deeply cares about, always looking for solutions. Owen is a true keeper, and although he’s always happy to lend Devyn a hand, she’s not used to accepting help from others. Yes, her back story is harsh, but he’ll use all his skills to make her see that she can trust him, that his heart is in the right place.

When Ward and Keeland’s storytelling inflamed my heart and fueled my imagination–when words on a page gave me all the feels, and the good-natured, flirty banter had me grinning from ear to ear, you know this is one very re-readable book. Bravo!

Rating- 4.7

Well, I think I starts this book a while ago and for some reason I guess I couldn't get into it. I don't remember why, but starting it this time the first chapter seemed so familiar. Whatever the reason, I'm so glad that I took the time to revisit it again.

I loved the book. Through the laughter, tears, anxiety and anger I felt every emotion and couldn't wait to get back to reading so I could learn more.

Man, Vera really did a number on her kids. She was like the "mother from Hell," running from her responsibilities at the drop of a hat to be with the next loser man she crossed paths with. This time, thankfully, her two teenagers, Heath and Hannah, called on big sister, Devyn, for help.

Dropping her life in California, Devyn made a beeline to NYC to take care of the menacing teenage siblings. Her first night in town, she hooks up with a guy, Owen, for a night of passionate fun, but leaves in the morning without exchanging last names. Owen thinks he will never find her again, until he knocks on the apartment door in a building that he and his friends own to issue a warning to the occupant regarding the nuisance her teenagers have become to the other residents. Surprise... Devyn opens the door.

There is so much more happening in this book and so worth the read. There is a wonderful HEA, and no cliffhanger, so take the chance. give it a read...you won't regret it.

5 STARS! An addictive opposites-attract romance full of heat, heart & humor!
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2023

The Rules of Dating My One-Night Stand is the third book in The Law of Opposites Attract series from romance writing duo, Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland. A scorching-hot and emotionally charged contemporary romance, it hits all the right notes for fans of the opposites-attract trope. I’m a huge fan of both authors individually, and I think that Keeland and Ward are perhaps the most prolific pairing of our time in the romantic fiction genre. There is something inherently special about Ward and Keeland's collaborative writing. The seamlessness of their writing and their effortless way they blend steamy romance with genuine emotion and humor consistently comes together into these wonderfully unputdownable reading experiences for their readers.

Unsurprisingly, Ward and Keeland have, once again, made magic on the pages of The Rules of Dating My One-Night Stand by delivering on the steamy promise of its premise while weaving an addictive tale of love and self-discovery. Built on the opposites-attract dynamic, the evolution of Owen and Devyn’s relationship is both entertaining and heartwarming. The chemistry crackled between them from the moment their eyes met across the bar, leading them to share an unexpected, but undeniably explosive, night together. The problem was that Owen woke up wanting more, but Devyn was gone. Neither expected to see the other again, so it was a surprise when she opened the door to find him standing there just a few days later. Devyn’s personal history has left her a bit commitment-phobic, but Owen is determined to win her over, despite the complications of her life. The twists and turns in their path only made their journey towards love all the more satisfying.

The Rules of Dating My One-Night Stand was an engaging and entertaining love story full of electric energy and heart-string-pulling emotion. Ward and Keeland's writing was sharp, witty and emotionally evocative, making this an intensely passionate yet playful page-turner. I swooned, I smiled and my heart soared as I devoured this book, and I’m on the edge of my seat in anticipation for whatever is next from this pair. Five smooches from me for The Rules of Dating My One-Night Stand by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland!

The Rules of Dating my One Night Stand

Intriguing from the first word! I felt instantly invested with these characters, when it usually rakes me a bit to warm to each character. There was just something about Owen and Devyn that grabbed my attention. Owen was an enigma that begged to be solved. Devyn was a riddle of contradictions and endearing denial. They embarked on a merry dance of attraction and abstinence. There were many moments of laughter. Many more moments of frustration, and more care and feelings than a story has any business having. Devyn’s family provided endless drama and their shenanigans were a little naughty, but a lot entertaining.

This story will take a reader on a wonderful and mysterious ride. But not in the normal sense of mystery. Little moments all combining to make one hell of a drama, and witnessing it unfold is unforgettable. Each character endearing and their love journey was up and down and every thrilling emotion in between.

This collaboration was again unputdownable. The mind was blown. The authors hearts and souls were poured into this story and I will always be forever thankful for authors with talent of this calibre. They fill my bookshelves with momentous characters and the promise of finding your soul mate. They prove that fairytales do come true and HEA’s are born in the most unique of circumstances. 5 stars.

Yet again this phenomenal duet creat a wonderful storyline in this series. We connect with Owen this time, although the previous characters are enriched and developed also. Humour also abounds, and new characters are introduced. Owen meets Devlyn one night and both finish up together. The consequences are life long. Devyln has to look after her two devilish siblings Flick and Flack, but all is revealed as to why they are so mischievous. The story is full of emotions, support and separation issues. Which are sensitively covered, and yet are essential to the storyline. Owen is on yummy caring guy and Devlyn is one close of chick but as the story develops we understand why. There is a superb HEA. Totally unexpected but leaving the reader in a contented glow. The next is Braydon’s character to be developed, although he like Holden, and Colby appear quite a bit in this on going storyline. Billie is as solid as ever and Lala is just that. Herself. Well written, edited and so worth 5 stars.

Owen is like a hot knife going through butter, you just melt. Loved his character, and watching him unwind his personality from what appeared in previous books in this series. I found Devyns character a bit annoying, couldn't get into her at first, but then, she had plenty of hang-ups to contend with. Loved her siblings, could have done with a bit more from them, they made me chuckle. I think Owen will be great with them and guide them into adulthood as they have lacked a male in their lives.

I have enjoyed all the books in this series so far. Look forwards to the next. Perhaps we will find that Owen has a new career at a midwife! ha ha ha..... after all the others are popping out children as fast as anything, so the only bachelor left standing up until the next book will need back up I think.

Love the front cover on this book... Those eyes... oooooooh.
