About this audiobook
Sometimes it's good to be bad….
When it comes to sex, good girl Skyler Thompson always plays it safe, choosing stable and sedate over wild and thrilling. She doesn't do one-night-stands, but one look at sinfully sexy Gage Holt and she's willing to reconsider. He makes her want to be bad for once in her life, and she's prepared to take what she wants.
Danger follows former MMA fighter Gage Holt like a shadow. Despite his successes as part owner of Sin, an exclusive nightclub in Boston, Gage can't risk getting involved with a woman, especially one as sweet as Skyler. Still, he can't resist a taste—and it's so damn good he has to see her again.
As addicted as he is to her, Gage knows there's no future for him and Skyler—not with his past lurking in the dark corners of an MMA cage. But Skyler's tougher than she looks, and she's ready to fight for her man.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was sweet, steamy, and angsty. Nice quick little storyline. I really enjoyed Gage's story!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I do like these stories but it's strange that Joe Arden voicing ALL of the male roles. Having said that, I drool hard over Joe's voice so it's fine, but I'd just be more pulled into these stories if each lead man had a different voice.
There's too much repeating of the same theme in these stories. Each relationship starts out as a sex only thing, then turns into something more, would be nice to be more original because I'm just about to start AJ's story so I hope it's a little bit more original.
I would still recommend these audio's to listen to before bedtime! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If you can’t love a tortured hero who thinks he isn’t good enough for anyone, why even read romance? Gage was perfect in his imperfections, and Skylar was imperfect in her perfections. They fit, though she had to fight to get him to see that, and then, once he messed up, he grovelled in the most wonderful way <3
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A super hot, sexy, spicy novella. A perfect quick listen to curl up with in this cold, wintery Joeuary.
Joe Arden taking on this dual pov solo was incredible. His female voice is very amazing so he can carry a project solo without it becoming a distraction. I loved his Boston accent and the way he slipped seamlessly between accents and characters.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this short and sexy listen that set my temperature soaring! - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Joe Arden is a top professional voice actor and one of my favorites but the story would have even been much better if a female voice actor, such as Grace Grant, had co-narrated with him
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The H was emotionally unavailable former fighter who meets the h after she gets out of a doomed relationship. She wants to be wild for the first time in her life. Fun and quick but the theme of why it could not be more was repeated often.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Yes, my friends, it's time for another Entangled review! This time of a Brazen title which, as you might already know, means plenty of scintillating and steamy sexual encounters. I especially love Brazen novellas, because they always pack a delectable amount of hot men, lust fueled banter, and just enough story line in to make me want so much more. These novellas are a tease, and I mean that in the best way possible.
Gage is exactly the type of man that I love to read about. While I love a "knight in shining armor" character just as much as the next girl, I can't deny there's a very real part of me that loves a bad boy. Understand, please, that I don't mean a chauvinistic asshole. There's entirely too many of those floating around in the book world to count. What I mean is a man who isn't afraid of his raw sexuality. Gage is pure testosterone when he's turned on. There are times when the "sexy" things that come out of a male character's mouth make me laugh. They just sound so ridiculous. In Gage's case? I heard those words in my head, and felt it as they burned into my core. Gage is hot, plain and simple. This reader fully approves.
Skyler compliments him perfectly. She's that sweet, unassuming woman I love. The one that blends in to the background, but who you know that you'd definitely be friends with in real life. Skyler is funny. She's honest. Best of all, she's not afraid to take chances. I liked her character a lot, and I was so happy that I didn't have to wait long for things to heat up between her and Gage. These two didn't necessarily have chemistry, since this novella makes things move lightning quick, but they definitely had a connection. If, like me, you're a huge fan of pulse-pounding, blush-inducing sex scenes, you're in for a treat.
Don't feel like this is all sex and no story though. I was pleased with the story line that ran underneath Gage and Skyler's attraction. I was curious to find out more and, honestly, I would have happily read a full book featuring these two. The ending was particularly adorable, and I won't deny that I sighed audibly upon reaching it. If you're looking for something short, sweet, and undeniably seductive, check out One Night of Sin. You won't regret it! - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5One Night of Sin
4 Stars
When their eyes meet across the dance floor of a nightclub, sparks fly between former MMA fighter Gage Holt and Skyler Thompson. Always a good girl, Skyler decides to throw caution to the wind so when the opportunity arises to seduce the none to willing Gage, she grabs it with both hands. Gage knows there is no future for him with Skyler, but she makes him want to forget the dangers from his past that lurk just around the corner. Will Gage and Skyler be willing to fight for what they want?
A short, steamy and surprisingly sweet story.
The novella format does not allow for a great deal of plot development or characterization. Nevertheless, Kennedy does an admirable job with the limited space as both Skyler and Gage as well as the secondary characters are well fleshed out. Gage’s troubled upbringing and feelings of responsibility toward his younger sibling go a long way toward explaining his communication and trust issues. While Skyler’s past is not as detailed, there is still a sense of realism to her background.
The romance between Gage and Skyler is the real focus of the story and boy does it sizzle. Kennedy certainly knows how to write a sex scene, but still manages to convey the growing sense of intimacy between the couple.
My one nitpick with the book is the overly easy and anti-climactic resolution of Gage’s conflict with MMA fight organizer and his thugs.
In sum, this is my first Elle Kennedy book and it will absolutely not be my last. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I am enjoy these fantasy romances with the hard, damaged, successful sexy "alpha" male and the sweet, demure, gentle girlchild woman, but sometimes I wish they would really talk to each other. I know it would shorten the book, but it does get annoying to think such otherwise normal people can't communicate and build a healthy relationship. Or at least be honest about their hangups. It's like we're still in high school. Other than that, this was an interesting story and I did like the hook at the end, where at least one person faced her problems and talked with someone.
