What a complicated journey! But I loved it. Anna and Max have such cute personalities. The character's are both well developed. As Anna and Max navigate their desire, they discover that sometimes the most unforgettable moments happen when you least expect them. Their past, present, and future collide, making their one-night stand ever after anything but forgettable. Secret crush when they are teenagers, he was her brother's friend. The spice is there, one night stand turned something else, opposites-attract, forbidden love! Those are all great things to have in a story and Amanda Usen uses them to be one of the best page turners I truly enjoyed the story!

I am a sucker for small town romances, so this was right up my alley. This reminded me of a hallmark movie with added spice, and I was here for it. Anna and Max were strong main characters and there connection was well written. I do wish I would have read the first few books in the series to get the full reading experience. Thank you to Entangled and NetGalley for the chance to read this in exchange for my honest opinion!

The spice! The spice was everything. However the characters and the plot fell flat for me. I didn't feel any connection or spark between the two main characters. Overall a good read, but I like a bit more depth with my spice. Definitely fans of other romance contemporary authors would enjoy this one!

I am sure this would have been a good read, but unfortunately I did not get a chance to get to this before the title was archived. I would be interested in finding a reasonably priced physical copy when I get a chance!

I have read the first book of this series and I loved it. Missed the second so I was intrigued to pick this one up. It was steamy for sure but I didn't feel a real connection with the characters at all. I felt their connection but it did a little forced as well. I did enjoy them and thought they were cute. The story seemed to go slow and then go fast and then slow again.

It was a quick read and it was cute. I would still recommend it!

Younger sister, forbidden love. Anna and Max knew each other growing up, years later a chance meeting, led to a one night stand with no strings attached. But fate has it different,their grandmothers each call them back to their hometown. Sparks fly once again but they each agree still to no strings attached but will their hearts listen to the same.

A fun rom com with some good heat. Loved the little match making of the grandma's. This is the third book in the series, I have not read the first two yet and had no problems reading. I highly recommend for a light summer read.

I struggled with this one, I usually want a little more depth and conflict for characters. It keeps me coming back to SD m see what happens next. While it was a struggle read I still enjoyed the basic of the story. I hold you at least test the waters and check out this story. Thank you entangled for the opportunity to review this ARC.

Loved this one! Great and fun read. Highly recommend.
Many thanks to the publisher, Netgalley, and the author for my ARC.

This book seemed rush to me. There was a lack of growth in the characters and I struggled to connect to Anna and Max wasn't a super appealing "book boyfriend". I was left wanting more from both of them.

This was a very cute story with a lot of spice! I loved all the characters—every single one. The town was adorable too. It was a quick read and loved the whole book. Max and Anna were the sweetest. I loved their story and growth.

"One Night Stand Ever After" is a light and easy contemporary romance. Lots of fun tropes, including small town, brother's best friend, opposites attract, and forced proximity. FMC Anna is a free-spirited dancer looking for her next adventure, MMC Max is a straight-laced business saver (I think?) who has never met a rule he didn't like. Yet somehow they work.

This book is apparently the third in a series but it works fine as a standalone (I haven't read the first two books). The spice starts early and is spicing and I am not complaining. What I am complaining about is the book both opening and closing with separation based on miscommunication. It just isn't my jam.

3 stars. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary copy of this book. These opinions are my own.

I wasn’t quite sure about this book in the beginning. I thought the spice started too soon and there wasn’t much of a storyline, but I quickly changed my mind.

Throughout the story we follow Max and Anna’s love story.

It is a very obvious storyline and is your typical small town romance. It was lovely and well written but maybe a little rushed towards the end. I think it would also benefit from an epilogue following the continuation of Max and Anna’s journey

This is the third book in a series of standalone. I've not read any of the others. I'm giving this a 2.5
The spice was spicing but the connection wasn't connecting (for me)
I'm not really a foot fetish kind of gal either.
The story is sweet and spicy but I just couldn't get into it enough to binge read so it took me a while to finish this one.
This may not have been for me but I'm sure there are others out there that will love this one.

One night, your brothers best friend, and family that has their own idea of what is best for you.When Anna and Max have a chance to explore old feelings when they both return to their hometown.

One fantasy, no strings and one month. Who will win? Are you ready to find love?

So many tropes, lots of banter, a FMC who is confident and a MMC who will leave you with all the feels.

If you find yourself craving pancakes...you've been warned.

Cute small town romance about Max and Anna. Max is a business man who keeps to himself and Anna is a dancer who lives life happily and with spontaneity. It is a forbidden love story as Anna’s brother warned Max to never touch Anna due to Max’s inability to build romantic connections and give full commitment to relationships. On top of that Max is obsessed with his work. However it’s hard to stay awat from each other when the Matchmakers are their own Grandmothers.
It was a cute, easy and fun read. There was banter and all the characters were joyous. The book is written well and is not cringey or unbearable. I really enjoyed it. The book is spicy though. Overall really enjoyed it.

The spice was great, but the characters and plot felt flat for me. I didn’t really connect with either character and while I can read a book based just on spice, I just wanted more.

Could be great for another reader though!

Didn’t realize this was a series so I’m definitely going to read the other books! I can’t imagine trying to hide my feelings for someone because it’s off limits?!

"One Night Stand Ever After" is a wonderfully cute story written by Amanda Usen. Anna is a beautiful burlesque dancer who had an unrequited, summertime childhood crush on her brother's best friend. Max is the best friend who found his friend's little sister annoying.

Years pass, and they finally run into each other in New York, agreeing to a one night stand in the process. Interestingly, they both end up in the same small town where they first met and sparks continue to fly.

Will their family, small town charm, and incredible chemistry keep them together? Or will they let their dreams/need for rules stand in the way?

Thank you NetGalley, Entangled, and Amanda Usen for gifting me this ARC. I enjoyed it!

This book was a hallmark coming home to small town to fall in love with first crush vibes but SPICY! 🌶️ Max and Anna have sexual chemistry to the MAX. I love the hometown feel of the friends and family and how Anna and Max went from sexual partners friends with benefits to loving each other. I would recommend to anyone wanting a hallmark story with lots and lots of sex!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC! All opinions below are my own!

One Night Stand Ever After brings what it promises from the title - a cute, steamy romance where the steam starts from the beginning (~15%) and continues finding its way. This book has your classic brother's best friend trope, and I particularly love that our FMC is not afraid to be super flirty and in his face about being hot and getting him bothered. She knows her power and she uses it for good!
