If you're looking for a book that is completely unrealistic in the way the characters act, here you go.
She gets pregnant after their first night, and then they're mortal enemies who can't have a normal conversation. They both are stupidly unrelatable, and I didn't see them as a couple. Just bad.

This book was wonderful, and I thoroughly enjoyed the chemistry between Jordan and Abby during their crazy adventure together. I'll be honest, it took me some time to appreciate Jordan, but her slowly made me fall for him, just like Abby! I highly recommend this book if you enjoy a bit sweetness and humor with this enemies-to-lovers type of romance.

I definitely look forward to reading more by Elise Faber!

ARC received for review

That has to be the worst one night stand ever. I mean, wow! Then they meet again and he makes wrong assumptions which leads to drama. They meet a third time, and it's a charm. They make amends and head off to HEA.

The epilogue isn't for them, but a teaser chapter for her friend's HEA.

I loved her and her bffs, plus his sister that I wish I had the rest of the series and time, lots of time

This was a pretty cute story. This was my first from this author but I'm already looking forward to the next book. Definitely a read that I would recommend. You should definitely give it a chance and see for yourself how you like it.

I have only read one other series by Elisa Faber and I was decently pleased with it. So when I saw this I wanted to read it.

In this story, Abigail is the best friend of Seraphina. And also the wingman for her. So when Jordan comes her way she's skeptical. However, things quickly heat up for Jordan and Abigail. Then all hell breaks loose with Jordan been a bit of a jerk.

It took me awhile to get into this book. I did like the quirkiness of Abigail's character and I loved her friends as they were all awesome but the story was unfortunately forgettable that I only read it three days ago and I had a blank about the story line which unfortunate.

However, the story line did improve as the book went along and I did get hooked enough into Abigail's friends that I want to continue with this series.

This is a fun story with some drama and great characters. Jordan and Abby meet when she is out with her beautiful friend Seraphina. When Jordan makes a play for her instead of her friend, she thinks he is a weasel trying to get to her friend through her. However, there are sparks. At the end of the night, Abby is left unsatisfied and pregnant. Fate throws them together again and the fun continues. Abby is fun, self deprecating but intelligent with a big heart. She is sassy and confident in her abilities. However, she has a past that has left her with an absent mother and daddy issues. Jordan is a billionaire with a messy past. It is kind of complicated. He wants to fall off the grid for a while but things don't fall his way. Abby and Jordan are a cute couple. They both come from privileged backgrounds but wanted to make it on their own. There are trust issues and some moments of drama. Overall, the story is light and fun. Great start to the series. The supporting cast makes for a interesting look to future books.

Abigail Roberts lived on her own terms. Fed up with what others expected of her, she distanced herself from her father and the family he associated with since her mother had passed. Her real family were her two best friends. Her job had been her life, but since that had been taken away, thanks to dear old dad, she was now at a bar making the really bad decision to have herself a one night stand. Jordan looked perfect for the job. He was sex on a stick. Gorgeous body with a delectable butt she wanted to bite. Yeah, he was perfect until he had his fun and walked out on her leaving her aroused and hanging. The. Worst. Night. Stand. Ever. A few weeks later, as Abby finds a job she could really love, the man she absolutely hates walks into the room, just in time to make her puke. Then as they find out the reason behind her upset stomach, Jordan becomes even more of a nightmare than the one night stand from hell. Jordan O'Keith was a very wealthy man and was not about to make the same mistake his father made over and over again. Falling for a gold digger was not in his plans. He thought he and Abby had connected, instead, he was faced with the fact she was pregnant with his baby and that she thought he was the worst lover ever. After mistaking her for the scum of the Earth, Jordan knew he would have to work hard to convince her to give him a second chance. But he was nothing if not determined... A sweet, funny and sexy romance with a sassy, smart woman and the alpha, sharp man who fell head over heels in love with her.

Bad Night Stand by author Elise Faber I felt this story was like being on a roller coaster. Has some great highs, great lows, and left the story being an okay read at the end of it. This is the first in the Billionaire’s Club series so maybe the rest will get better as they go along.
Okay it also has a pet peeve of mine in it. If you are going to label your book a Billionaire romance please make it relevant to your overall story arc.
Now on to the review.
Jordan comes off as a not so loveable jerk at first. Like he could give no time or thought to someone else other than himself. He does redeem himself by the end of the book. But my first impression of him had a hard time leaving my thoughts.
Abby is a good strong character who was given some so so material to work with. She did the best with what she was given though. She comes off as likable and someone I would definitely want to be friends with in the end.
Overall an okay read. Does not have the burning chemistry I love in a romance but it is not bad either. A nice read for a romantic at heart.

The first part of the story is perfect, with all the attractions and love chemistry. But the second part starts to get boring and too predictable. I do enjoy reading and think the next book by this author will be great too. I will be giving a 3 star for this book, not my top but not at the bottom yet.

I love this book! The premise is so different than the normal one night stands usually are and just knocks everything upside down! The heroine is my absolute favorite strong kick butt female of the year! Definitely a must read and I would love more from this world.

This was a really great read and I enjoyed it and found myself reading it until the early hours of the morning. I have read several of Elise's books previously so I just knew it was going to be a good read. This was a really fun read it had me laughing out loud at times and I really liked the characters. This is such a good book and I recommend it to all.

While I liked Jordan and Abigail, the story wasn’t all that. I loved the fact that everything went backwards, but their back stories were just the same as all the other books out there. There were funny moments, a couple of touching moments, and a lot of unneeded moments. I’m a bit disappointed by this book to be honest. The description sounded a lot better than it actually was, there is massive amounts of potential but it hasn’t reached the greatness it could be. The ending of the book felt rushed, like the author just wanted to get it over with. I didn’t get the feelings that were supposed to be there, everything just felt flat and poor.

original review: ramblingsfromthischick.blogspot.com

Have you ever read a book where you loved and hated it at the same time? That is how I felt about “Bad Night Stand” by Elise Faber. The title of the book immediately caught my attention. I enjoyed the unique and the fun spin on the title. I was also hooked on the female heroine and her life. Abby has a great life. The first persona narrative really made her personable. She has a beautiful friend who gets all the attention from men. One man in particular singles her out-Jordan. Jordan likes Abby and is immediately taken with her. Abby feels the same way with Jordan. When they both give into their desires they are faced with a big consequence- a failed IUD. Abby is shocked and Jordan also but he also becomes very suspicious of Abby and questions her motives. Abby comes from a very chaotic and difficult child hood so she is determined to make sure that the baby has her as at least one reliable parent. Jordan just made one the biggest deals of his life when he sold his tech companion. He is still not sure what to make of the unexpected surprise Abby throws at him. It seems that they are doing things backwards- barely knowing each other but having a baby together.

I had so many contradictory feelings about this book. I finally made peace with a three star review. First, the heroine-Abby. I liked her and I loved the close friendships she had with her girlfriends but many times she sounded more like a teenager than an adult. Her behavior was so erratic and dramatic it was hard to get past her over the top responses. Jordan was not my favorite hero. He was very extreme or mercurial -which ever way you want to look at it. It was hard to figure him out and really it was the relationships that surrounded him that made me warm up to him. If not for the deep devotion he had with his nephew he would have been a number one loser in my book. Aside for my lukewarm feelings towards the hero and heroine was my difficulty with unprotected sex. It’s 2018, please use a better storyline. Last, the over the top scenarios: billionaires. I would have liked the storyline better if they were not all so wealthy. Finally, everything seems to happen to Abby from her father that hates her to cybercrime.

Ok so why three stars? Really, I could not put the book down. I wanted to know how Abby and Jordan would work out all their difficulties and also the last part of the story has me curious about Cecile and her mystery ex-fiancé who left her at the altar! Am I counting down? Yes, I liked Cecile and Faber really did a great job making the secondary characters interesting.

This is outside my usual genre, and my first Elise Faber book, but I was surprised by how much I liked it. Now I will be checking until the next in the series is available.

It was what you call a Bad Night Stand. Two people who have issues trusting people and realize they need or meant for one another. Go and read this book.

This is a one night stand that went wrong and ended up in an unplanned pregnancy.
Not exactly the sexy billionaire story I planned on but I wasn’t completely disappointed.
Definitely more romance than sexy in this one. But was an easy and enjoyable afternoon read.
Thanks NetGalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

I received Bad Night Stand by Elise Faber for free through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. **spoilers**The book started out steady-- a girl at a bar gets hit on by a hot guy, they leave together, and then have a horrible one night stand. It's pretty funny-- you never read about a hot guy performing badly in a romance, but he did. Unfortunately, no protection was used, and she ends up pregnant. They end up at odds over it, but then decide to work together towards a relationship. There is obviously more to the story, but you get the gist. This is a happy ending story. There are several funny/amusing parts. I definitely enjoyed this book. It was the first that I have read by this author, but I will definitely keep my eye out for more books by her.
