Takedown (1Night Stand)

By Stacey Kennedy

U.S. Marshal Wyatt Tanning has been on the hunt for a killer on the run in Turks and Caicos. A week into the investigation, he has absolutely nothing to show for his efforts. Feeling defeated, he returns to the Castillo Resort to drown his frustrations. There he meets UFC fighter, Rye Daniels, the resort’s bartender.

Rye recognizes a man who’s been beaten down, but he also senses a shared attraction that’s hard to ignore. Wyatt might not be ready to step out from behind the shadow of lies, but Rye will stop at nothing to unleash the beast within.

Reviews for Takedown (1Night Stand)

[serenayates · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This is a short and, some will say, very hot story about a US Marshal, who is in denial of his sexuality, and a bartender, who is determined to bring it out in him.

And therein lies the problem for me. Not only is there no emotional involvement between the two main characters (that would be perfectly understandbale in a story that is just about sex), but there is active animosity. The bartender almost forces himself on the Marshal. There is no regard for going slow, the sex is harsh to the point of being brutal and there is no enjoyment in it other than the physical release. Even the language reflects this, and tht really bothered me.

If you're looking for a hot story with no emotional entanglements, you might like this one. Personally, I was hoping for a little more, based on the other 1 Night Stand stories I have read. But that's just me.

This is exactly as the blurb says. One night of sex between two beautiful men. I usually need emotions involved, so it wasn't my cup of tea, but it didn't try to pretend to be anything other than what it said. I'd never read one of the Madame Eve stories, and I'll probably stop with this one.
