Bad Night Stand

While out with friends Abby spies a hunk of a man with Thor good looks that instantly has her dreaming of what a one night stand with him would be like, but unfortunately in her world, men like that just don't go for girls like her.. they tend to only want to get close to her, to get close her friends. And as sad as that sounds, it has become her reality more times than not, so when the handsome stranger comes over and strikes up conversation, she immediately shuts him down thinking he is only after her best friend. But all that does is get him fired up and irritate him to no end because his sole purpose for striding over to her was to get to know her, not her friend, and that little fact is more than unsettling.



She just can't believe that she actually caught his eye, this never happens to her, and now that it has she plans on making the most of the situation... she is taking Thor home and seeing what he can do with his hammer! But her little rendezvous with the handsome stranger winds up bringing far more excitement to her life than she ever anticipated...

Bad Night Stand is a humorous and heartfelt tale that is certain to have you giggling and swooning throughout!! The moment you crack the cover on this one and meet these wonderful characters who have quite the entertaining story to tell you will fall head over heels for them, they lured me in almost instantaneously. This is my first read from this author and I have to say her wonderful tale left me impressed, and dying for a revisit to the series, I just can't wait to get back to these characters and she what she has in store for them next. If you are looking for a well blended romance loaded with humor, heart and the feels, then I highly suggest you pick up Bad Night Stand... it's outstanding!!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from NetGalley, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.

Bad Night Stand was my first book by this author. Abby, a loveable book nerd, meets sexy Thor lookalike, Jordan, at a bar and they decide to go to Abby's house for hookup. However, Jordan ends up being a thoroughly disappointing one night stand for Abby. I'll start with what I liked: funny, relatable, and heartwarming. What I didn't like: the POV for Abby was written in first person but then switched to third person for Jordan. That switch annoyed me so much that it took away from the story for me. I wish the story had been consistently written throughout to avoid the distraction. I also feel as though Jordan's character was made into such a big jerk in the beginning that it was very hard to get to fully love him. Overall, it was a good story but I'm only giving it 4 chilli peppers of hotness because of the way it was written.

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!!

LOVED,LOVED LOVED this story, both Abby and Jordan came from privileged backgrounds but money can’t buy happiness and they are perfect examples of this. They did have great friends though and after some misunderstandings each other. I loved the Thor jokes and Hunter stole the show.

OMG these two LOL, This was a funny book, a little romance, a little "OMG I hate you" added to a mix and a roller coaster of a romance. Worth reading

I thought the book was good and the characters were funny. Once I started reading I couldn't put it down.

Better late than never for Jordan to remember that he had manners, “dance?” He held out a hand. “I should have asked before I went all caveman on you.” There are times Abby thinks her man purposely has selective hearing, “that?” she nearly shrieked. “I admit all of that, and you’re focused on that fact that I love your abs?” I loved this book, it was quite entertaining and the characters were easy to love.

This book was great. It had me hooked from the first chapter i wanted to know how it would end and i wanted to know now!
I love when authors write books that everyone can relate to, this story could of acctually happened to someone.
I would definatly like to own this book.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

First things first; the cover. In love.

Moving on. I really love the progression of the story, it is not rushed at all. And I found myself not minding the time skip to the epilogue. I love the interaction between Jordan and Abby, along with Hunter towards the end. I like it how the author keep the plot twist (Abby's parentage) brief as it wasn't really important to the plot.

There's nothing about the story that I dislike -it is THAT well written.

<b>When a bad night stand turns into happily ever after.</b> 3.5★

This was a really nice surprise for me. I've seen it on Netgalley, read the blurb and requested it. It was approved and I decided to read it next after <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2416452946">Getting Schooled by Emma Chase</a>. It didn't have any other reviews on GR, so I started with a completely open mind and to be honest, without many expectations. <b>But it turned out to be so good.</b>

Here's what happened: they meet in a bar and because there's insta-attraction/chemistry on both sides, she invites him back to her place for sex.
Pause to explain the first reason for my 3.5★: <i>they were complete strangers to each other, but she trusted him enough not to use a condom.</i>
It had been a long time for him, so he comes (she doesn't), then his phone is ringing, he picks it up, hears the bad news and walks out the door without a "bye" or a "thanks". <spoiler>He had a valid reason for leaving, but still....</spoiler>
Long story short, the heroine got pregnant after this, but don't worry, life throws them back in each other's lives, to find their HEA.

Now here's what I think. The first half of the book was crazy good. I would have given it an easy 5★, because it was funny, intriguing and interesting. But then, after all misunderstandings were clarified, it turned a little vanilla. On the plus side, after an "asshole-<i>y</i>" moment from our hero, he redeemed himself pretty nicely. The whole second part of the book was nice and cozy, with just enough drama to make it "real".

All in all, I really liked this book and I enjoyed reading it (<i>minus the hammer jokes)</i>.
You should definitely give it a chance and see for yourself how you like it.
I'm no expert, but I think Elise Faber did a great job with this story and she deserves her book on the "best seller list".

PS: the epilogue is basically a preview for the next book in the series and i'm hooked. Can't wait to read Cecilia and Colin's story too.

Review:

"Bad Night Stand" by Elise Faber

My Thoughts....

This one was quite a entertaining story that will put you into several emotional states from humor, sadness, craziness, madness to a swooning romance by the time the reader gets to the end of the read.

What will happen when Abby....the book nerd and sassy meets a look alike [Thor] alpha Jordan in a one night stand where everything seemed like a fun time until someone runs out due to a cell phone call? Along with that what will happen when Abby finds out that her IUD didn't work like it was supposed to? Will Abby be able to give Jordan another chance to prove 'he is different and worthy of being in their lives?" What will happen as two privileged individuals who have all the money but can it buy one happiness? Will these two get to a HEA?

I loved the secondary characters...especially the camaraderie with Abby's best friends were simply terrific!

The subplots that were brought into the story were interesting in how they were brought out with Abby's wired father, mother, Jordan's nephew [Hunter] and his family. I did enjoy how the Thor jokes did bring in humorous parts of the read and with Hunter also being a focus point in this story.

To get all of the above questions answered along with all misunderstandings from the story are clarified the reader will have to pick up "Bad Night Stand" to see how well written this author presents it to the readers.

In the end the reader will get the epilogue that will preview the next series in book 2 of the Billionaire's Club with Cecila and Colin's story.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Elisa Faber for the ARC.

Cute and fun
This is my first book by Elise Faber.

What I liked:
The writing style
The characters
Part of a series: Billionaire's Club
Standalone
HEA
Epilogue

I look forward to reading more from this author.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC from NetGalley.

I really loved this book. Jordan and Abby meet. and have a one night stand. And it is terrible, beyond awful, he treats her like crap. Not abusive but lets say very rudely. Then they meet again and she is all sick over him. They end up in the hospital and that is when the fun really starts. I don't want to say too much to give it away but Abby and Jordan are connected by more than a bad one night stand....way more....and I loved that.

This was a delightful, original and fun story withe two really wonderful characters and it was extremely well written. I really would love to read more by this author as it was such a wonderful story.

Abby goes to a bar with her friend where she meets Thor's twin Jordan. Abby takes Jordan back to her place where she has the quickest and unfulfilling one night stand. Jordan rushes out leaving Abby to finish achieving her orgasm by herself. A few weeks later, Abby finds herself without a job and pregnant. Jordan walks back in to Abby's life and tries to make it up to her for the awful experience. When Jordan finds out that Abby is pregnant, he believes that she has tried to trick him in to giving her money and supporting her. Abby wants nothing to do with Jordan and is trying to succeed on her own in order to support her child and herself. When Abby begins to work for a new company, she is thrown back in Jordan's path. Even though Abby and Jordan are making a muck out of each other's lives, they each want to do what is best for the baby. Will Abby give Jordan another chance to prove that he is different and worthy of being in their lives? Will their pasts tear them apart?

I thoroughly enjoyed Bad Night Stand. I found Ms. Faber's tale to be witty and engaging. Her characters were well written and full of depth. The plot kept you guessing what will happen and begging for more. I highly recommend Bad Night Stand to those 18 + due to language and sexual scenes. Thank you Ms. Faber and NetGalley for allowing me to read this book. I look forward to reading more of your work.

LOVED THIS STORY! I laughed, I cried, I hope they got a puppy! Fantastic summer read. Hoping for the next in this series.

I really enjoyed the romance between Abby and Jordan. Both have tea as from their pasts that affect them and their current relationships. I have to say that I thought Jordan was a total jerk in the beginning of the book. While I understood the motivations for his actions (which were explained later in the book), he still was not totally redeemed for me. Abby was a character I liked more. She's sweet and independent. Besides Jordan at the beginning, I did not like the POV switch from Abby (1st person) to Jordan (3rd person). I thought this switch was awkward and wished the author would pick one POV and stick with it. That aside, I really did like the read and would recommend it!

**ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**

This is the first book I've read by Elise Faber but it won't be the last. At first glance Bad Night Stand (Billionaire's Club Book #1) seems like the typical one night stand, accidental pregnancy story line but ends up being so much more. Great characters with off the charts chemistry, laugh out loud funny and hot steamy romance. I'll be adding another author to my "must read" list.

This book was really good, I'm SHOCKED at how much I loved it - but in the best kind of way. I didn't start this book with high expectations as Elise Faber, is a new-to-me author but after reading Bad Night Stand I'M HOOKED!! I highly recommend this book!!

Abigail Roberts is side-kicking at a bar with her best friend Seraphina, when a blond and blue-eyed masterpiece of a man approaches her, Jordan O'Keith. At first, she'd skeptical with his flirting and attention, not sure if genuine with his interest in her, as she's been used in the past from men going through her to get to her goddess-like gorgeous bestie. Her suspicious attitude only pisses him off, and he becomes more intrigued by the brown-haired beauty. Chemistry is present, sparks fly, and clothes are being removed. Which leads to theBad Night Stand.

My favourite type of trope is BABIES. Just babies. Accidental babies. Secret Babies. Planned Babies. I-DON'T-CARE-HOW-JUST-GIVE-ME-A-BABY. So it was a no-brainer that I was itching to read this after reading the blurb. I like to think I've read *almost* every variation of accidental pregnancies romances out there, so I always expect the same cookie-cutter plot. I was blown away by this one, I mean the night they conceived their baby was DEFINITELY a new one!! I didn't know if I should be pissed at Jordon or laugh at the situation. AND THANK YOU Elise Faber, for writing a more realistic pregnancy!! Just something else about this book that wasn't cookie-cutter, with the typical symptoms in romance being morning sickness, suddenly hungry, now horny.*insert eye-roll* I laughed my ass off about the deodorant and what Abby would say to Jordan, it reminded me of my own pregnancy and my husband!! I loved it.

Elise Faber is a talented writer that takes sex to the ultimate level.

Bad Night Stand drove me insane it was a one night stand with not a so happy ending for the heroine, but the idiot of a man is determined to make sure she gets what she wanted, that is until he finds out she is knocked up with his kid, and he is convinced she is after his bucks which by the way she has no idea he even has.

It was a game of cat and mouse and the most annoying man on the planet who could not make up his damn mind.

Not my favorite book but it was a ok read.

5 Star Review

Received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

Loved this book & will definitely be checking out other books by this author ( Elise Faber) ❤️❤️

A potentially so - so BAD One Night Stand Turns out - so - so GOOD !!!

This is the story of Abby & Jordan’s One Night Stand where just about everything that could go wrong with a chance meeting in a bar does ..... fast forward 6 weeks later to an unplanned pregnancy. This book is really funny & the chemistry between these 2 characters is seriously off the charts. The reader is taken on a highly adventurous story to their HEA.... where baby makes 3 !!

This book has it all:
Awesome characters & secondary characters ( who I hope may get their own stories)
Humor - deodorant that causing major puking anyone 😂
Romance
Sizzling chemistry
Family drama & issues to overcome

So good highly recommend this read!!

What an awesome read! This is the first book that I’ve read from Elise Faber and I can now happily say that I am a huge fan. Bad Night Stand was a very fun read that I got hooked and couldn’t put the book down. Abigail and Jordan might have had a one night stand which ended up being very unsatisfying for Abigail and left with a positive pregnancy weeks later. The whole interaction between Jordan and Abigail was so hilarious in the beginning when they found out she was pregnant that I am glad they were able to work out their differences and follow their hearts. I really enjoyed reading this book and can’t wait to read more of Elise’s work.


****Received this ARC by NetGalley as an exchange for an honest review.

3.5 Stars. This was my first read by this author and I enjoyed her writing style! I had two issues that dropped it from a 4 to 3.5 - the first would be how the H speaks to h in the first part of the story. It was so hurtful that I really didn't believe that the author could develop his character enough for me to start rooting for him again. The second would be the amount of drama "issues". There were just way too many. I think if the focus would have been on one or two of these issues the story and characters would have been more developed and way more satisfying. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised and I would most definitely pick up another book by this author!

I found this to be a very enjoyable read. An entertaining story-line and great characters keep your interest extremely well. Watching the evolution of the relationship between these two was a treat. Add in drama and steamy passion and you have a good read. I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

Bad Night Stand was my first book by this author. I must say that it was a nice surprise because with some books I had experience that description of the book was fenomenal and intriguing but book itself was really hard to read or I could not read it at all.

All in all,t his book was funny and romantic. Jordan was maybe quick to judge but he made it OK.

(...I wonder, how the story would go if Abby had no money, for example rich "father" but no trust fund...?)

Part with Abbies father could have been more elaborated but in this case I wonder is there maybe reason to add some connection with first book in the next book in the series so there could be additional plot or maybe there could be turn in story and that Abbies father in the end really is a father to her.... so there could be some tries to make peace....so much possibilities :-)

I recomend the book. It was pleasure for me to read it.

PS: the epilogue is intrigueing, can't wait to read Cecilia and Colin's story. It looks like it is going to be another great story

This is book 1 in the Billionaire's Club series. It's about Jordan and Abigail. They meet in a bar and end up heading back to her place for a hookup, that ends extremely badly. She never expects to see him again, especially not when she finds out that her IUD failed and she is now pregnant. And Jordan makes some accusations and they both figure out exactly who the other is, and what is will mean to their lives. Now they have to not only deal with their issues with their future but face their issues with the past.

I was pleasantly surprised with how much I really liked this book. I was iffy about reading it but it sounded good and I thought why not? I am really glad I did! It hooked me right from the start and kept me laughing through the whole thing! Abby and Jordan both have some serious issues but once they actually sit and talk about things they are perfect for each other. I love Abby's snarkiness and how she deals with Jordan when he is being a jerk. There were so many parts that just made me crack up (and get some weird looks from my husband LOL) while she was dealing with him and her interactions with her friends. I ended up loving this one! Right down to how they are with his family and how they stand up for each other. It was a great read and I can't wait to read the next one in this series!

Delightful and funny story of one night stand gone really bad to happy ending.
Abby and Seraphina were in a bar trying to have fun. Seraphina is always surrounded by guys and Abby heard all of their lame pick up lines. She is use to having Seraphina being center of the attention but when handsome “Thor” look alike approaches her instead of Seraphina, she couldn’t believe her eyes. Someone really wanting her instead of her beautiful friend.
Jordan needed a break while his company is being bought and when he saw Abby at the bar, he had to approach her and he couldn’t believe she didn’t hide anything. She was honest and keep him on his toes.
When they were at her place for one night stand... It didn’t work in Abby’s favor. He had left her hanging to receive a call and left her alone. Abby couldn’t believe he left her “unsatisfied”.
Nothing was going her way, she was fired from her work (technically her boss was bought out by her father) and she finds out one night stand became more than just one night when she runs into him again.

Abby and Jordan’s banters were really funny and they kept going back and forth.. Abby’s point of view is POV and Jordan’s view was third POV.. That kinda confused me in the beginning but story made me laugh out loud and smile often... It was definitely a page turner. I couldn’t wait to finish. Both were perfect in a way and they did everything backwards. I really enjoy reading. I can’t wait to read the next one.
I have read several of her books and it is really funny. This was one of the funny ones as well.
Thanks to Netgalley and author for my ARC in exchange for honest review.

It's been quite a while since I read a book that's not from a favourite author in one sitting. That alone earned Bad Night Stand a 5 star rating. Add to it a female lead I could identify with and even my intense dislike of the male lead (Jordan) couldn't diminish my enjoyment. While the story is incredibly unrealistic the portrayal of Abby and her friends isn't. You see, my female friends and I have a private chat, with a "No Men Allowed" designation, in which we mainly talk shit, send each other pics of hot men and every once in a while the more talented ones share their incredibly hot and dirty short stories. And reading this book I felt like I'm reading one of our conversations. Especially when stuff like this:
Because what the heck was life without fictional eight-packs and alpha males who actually care about the women they slept with.
and this:
He brought every single Thor fantasy to life - the short-haired, shorn, lightning-bolts-on-the-side-of-his-head version.
were seamlessly introduced. I'm pretty sure we've spend way too much time waxing poetic about the new and improved Thor version. Talking about Thor, the hammer jokes Abby makes throughout the book had me roll on the bed laughing. I have highlighted a few to share with my friends later. Preferably while spamming said chat with Chris Hemsworth pictures.

Jordan pissed me off good in the beginning. To be honest I still don't like him because of his behaviour in the first third of the book. And if Abby wasn't so hilarious the manufactured drama (this books uses the tried and tested trope of miscommunication and/or total lack of communication to set the plot in motion) would have annoyed me and the end result would have mostly likely been a 1-2 star rating at best. But Abby and later on Hunter and the side plot got me hooked and I didn't have the heart to bitch about it. Or let it destroy an otherwise pretty nice book.

So to summarize: the book isn't something original, in fact it uses typical for the genre tropes, but is fun and made me laugh like a loon. And if you feel like picking a cheesy romance novel to relax I would highly recommend it.

P.S. The epilogue has me anxiously awaiting the sequel. It promises to be hilarious.

The story line of this book really intrigued me. Abby meets Jordan in a bar one night. She takes him home for what turns out to be really unfulfilling sex. After leaving Abby frustrated and having to rely on her Battery Operated Boyfriend (BOB), Jordan skips out. Flash forward eight weeks and Abby is pregnant from this evening of bad sex thanks to a defective IUD. Fate puts her right back in the path of Jordan who wants to make up for his poor performance. The remainder of the book is the two of them navigating impending parenthood and trying to determine if they even like each other.

I enjoyed the writing and the storyline. There was a part of the book, early on, where Jordan was such an ass that I wasn’t sure I could forgive him. I might have been rooting for Abby to kick him to the curb. He did manage to redeem himself but that was one part of the book that I struggled with. Also the intrigue in the book seemed thrown in, somewhat unnecessary, and wrapped up way too quickly. Given how much Abby and Jordan had to overcome, the extra intrigue really wasn’t needed.

Some of the secondary characters were great…..Heather (the overbearing sister) and Hunter (the sweet and lovable nephew). I’d love to see Heather get her own book.
