"Just For Christmas Night" by Lisa Marie Perry

Book Description....

"A red-hot holiday "

"Pro football publicist Martha Blue has something to prove. To protect the image of the Las Vegas Slayers—and stay employed—she has to shed her party-girl reputation. Fast! So no more mistakes. No further scandals. And absolutely no falling for the one man who can give her everything she wants…and nothing of what she needs.

Danger and desire never mixed well for undefeated prizefighter Joaquin Ryder. A friend of the Blue family, he's a man who knows his boundaries…boundaries he has secretly crossed only once before. Now that he's back in Sin City to train for the biggest fight of his career, he can't afford to let a sexy distraction like Martha put him against the ropes. Revisiting their sizzling past is something he isn't willing to risk—until a steamy Yuletide encounter, where for just one night, they'll surrender completely…."

What I liked about this novel ...

This was the third series of  'The Blue Dynasty' and it was a good read where this one is about Martha Blue  who was one of the youngest but not a pushover.  So, what she rebellious and just wanted to have a good time?  Yes, but was there more to Martha than just that because she was able to have a few secrets of her own from her family. I loved how Martha was a strong women who fought for what she believed in showing how her hard work and determination...well I will stop here and let you read it for yourself. 

 Now to add to this story there was Joaquin (Las Vegas Prince) who seemed like a 'lost soul' that would leave him wanting to prove something  of who he was ...from his past.  This is a deep read that you will have to keep up with the read because there will be twist and turns as you read through each of these characters raw emotions.  In the end will these two be able to fight for the genuine love that they really have for each other? 

I found the characters very well developed, well rounded, well portrayed, colorful and believable giving the reader an excellent read of what all is going on.  Martha's mother was really some pill to shallow and I did like the addition of the new character by the name of  Avery who became part of Martha's family.

This author was able to really give the reader the description of just what was going on at that time and  in the end giving us a well written script that will keep you turning the pages till the end. 

I will say to learn more about this series ('The Blue Dynasty)  I would suggest you read the first two series first before reading this one, however, "Just For Christmas Night"  is a stand alone read.  I found "Just For Christmas Night" was one interesting read where you will get a little of it all.... from 'past  lust, desire, acceptance, trust to even some new choices'  and with saying that I would definitely recommend this novel and just a heads  up ....there will be another romance from this author's  The  Blue Dynasty series, 'Mine Tonight' coming soon!
