His Five Night Stand: Steamy Second Chance Contemporary Romance (Counting on Love Book 1) Kindle Edition
Five nights with a gorgeous man will make her forget her ex forever. At least that's what Callie's neighbor promised when Callie moves into a new apartment building. Devastated by her boyfriend's confession that he's in love with another woman, Callie can't imagine anything could heal her broken heart.
Loss has brought Theo to his knees before, so he knows just how to repair Callie's shattered confidence. After five nights in his arms, she'll leave her heartache behind, give voice to her deepest desires and be ready to forge a real, lasting love with someone new...it just won't be him.
Theo can give Callie back her voice and teach her to ask for what she wants from her lover, but what if she asks for more than he can give? Will he break his only rule - no falling in love - for her?
“It’s this one,” Billie said, sorting through her keys. “304.” As she fiddled with the keys someone opened the unit next door.
A tall guy wearing a black t-shirt and jeans stepped outside and turned to lock the door. He smiled as he glanced at Billie and me. I swallowed, my mouth immediately dry. This guy was jaw-droppingly gorgeous. He had wavy dark brown hair almost black, a strong jaw, and these amazing pale blue eyes that jumped out against his olive skin tone. He had broad shoulders, and strong biceps. When he turned away, I couldn’t help but notice that his backside was just as gorgeous. I had to remind myself not to stare again.
“Oh, that’s Theo,” Billie said to me softly. “Hey Theo!” she called a little louder. “New tenant, Callie. You should say hello. You two might be neighbors.” Her voice was a little sing-song as she fiddled with her keys.
“Oh, I don’t want to interrupt him,” I said, wishing I had bothered to brush my hair that morning. I didn’t even have on mascara since I’d cried it all off the night before.
Theo strode toward us smiling. His pale blue eyes were even more magnetic close up.
He held out his hand. “Pleased to meet you, Callie, or shall I say neighbor,” he gave my hand a firm squeeze. His voice had a lilt to it, British I assumed, though I’d never been really good with accents outside of knowing they made me melt.
His hands were large, strong and warm. I immediately liked the feeling of his skin against mine.
“Maybe neighbor,” I said, laughing as my cheeks burned. “I need to apply and see the place, but it seems nice. Like everyone I’ve met seems wonderful and so welcoming . . .”
His hair was slightly long so it hung in waves not quite hitting his shoulder or falling into his eyes. I had to fight the urge to reach out and brush the curls off his forehead. “Oh, you’ll like it here,” Theo said. “Billie runs a tight ship. Nothing but the most beautiful apartments this side of the University. Right Billie?”
“Got it!” Billie said holding up a key. I doubted she’d been listening to us at all. She’d fiddled with a series of keys before hitting pay dirt. “Almost thought I’d have to leave you here with Theo and who knows where that would lead.”
“Who knows?” he said, grinning at me.
“Right,” I said, smiling back thinking that being alone with Theo was not a horrible thought, not a horrible thought at all.
Billie opened the door and gestured for me to follow.
“I’ll leave you two to your tour then,” Theo said, nodding. “Later neighbor.” He turned and glanced back once with a smile before he walked down the hall.
“Bye,” I said, almost under my breath.

From the Author
I'm so glad you found my books.
These stories focus on the sexy and gorgeous women who live in the Holiday Apartments and their quests for happily ever after. Characters cross over from book to book and reappear in other stories. People and events are intertwined but each book stands alone and does not require knowledge from a previous book to enjoy.
The fun part about writing these books is the creative freedom I have with each woman's unique love story.
All of these women have different desires and lovers which translates to smoking hot sex scenes mixed with a whole lot of fun.You do not need to read the books in order but I started the series with Callie's story in "His Five Night Stand" for a reason.
Callie's journey takes her from her perceived ordinary world to the doors of the Holiday where she crosses path with a vibrant and sexy group of women who seem to love being in love. Callie's transformation takes place inside the walls of her bedroom at the Holiday. I started with Callie since it is a great way to explain the sexy magic of the building and meet the women whose stories will drive the rest of the series.
Later books will move beyond the walls of the building, but the friendship these women share started at the Holiday and they never forget who they are and how much they mean to each other.
I had an incredibly fun time writing this first book and others in the series. I truly hope that you enjoy this trip to a world where sexy + fun = happily ever after.
XO
Emma

The writing style is good, and the story is great. The characters are well written but I don't get that feeling of losing my self in the book. And because of that it's not very much more to say about the book. There are very wonderful hot scenes so because of them I'll give it a 4 star.
I might check out the other books if I need a quick read.
Callie had lived her life not really knowing what she wanted from it and the last five years being told by her boyfriend that she should stay in the background and let others take credit for her talent. Little did Callie realize that the day he tossed her out of his life was the first day of a promising life. Then almost as if fate stepped in she saw a vacancy sign in an apartment building filled with beautiful, self confident women who welcomed her. But more importantly when Callie heard a rich male voice with a British accent behind her she turned and gazed into pale blue eyes of the most beautiful man she’d ever seen. When Theo smiled at her Callie felt a warmth inside she’d never experienced. You will NOT be able to put this book down!
