Book Review: One Night: Denied (One Night #2) by Jodi Ellen Malpas

So book two picks up after the mega cliffhanger of book one. Olivia is floundering after her final encounter with Miller. The weeks are crawling by and she is barely living. When she sees him again, she's torn about what to do. She knows she should run as far away from Miller Hart as she can, but her heart, and her body, won't let her. Can they repair what was so viciously broken?

Of course, everyone else has plenty of opinions on their relationship, especially Gregory and William. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop there. Interferers are popping up everywhere, threatening to break them and pushing Miller to the edge time and time again. Can Miller escape this life he has lived for so long and have a real relationship with Olivia? Or will everyone meddling break them for good?

Holy intensity batman! I mean...wow. This book was beyond intense from start to finish. And no, I don't just mean the phenomenal sex, which there is a shit ton of. There is just a lot going on between the relationship angst, potential danger and all the pain in the ass people who are trying to keep Miller and Olivia apart.

Then there is Miller who is just so...well...so Miller! Jodi Ellen Malpas has a knack for writing heroes that are bat shit crazy but I love to death anyway. Just like Jesse Ward, Miller Hart is a character you will either love or hate. I have no problem saying I love him and his brand of crazy. And can I just say that now I crave the feel of a hand guiding me by my nape? Who knew that could be such a turn on?

Of course we end in another cliffhanger, this is a trilogy after all, and it was an ending I found I anticipated and expected a little bit. I can't believe we have to wait till February for book 3. So cruel Ms. Malpas. So deliciously cruel.
