Caroline Frost had it all-until her boyfriend banged the superskank intern, and poof! Caroline's happy little bubble disappeared. Now it's been six weeks of weeping, a mountain of ice cream, and a permanent buttprint on the couch. Enough is enough. She and her ladybits need an intervention-now.

Enter Operation: One Night Stand: Find a man who is hotness personified and have some much-needed sexy time. The only problem is that Caroline is torn between a flirtatious, well-built guy and the ridiculously hot bartender serving her shots. This was supposed to be all fun and no games, but like the perfect scotch on the rocks, no good fling finishes without a twist . . .

Review 4*

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in return for an honest review.

This is a fun, entertaining read. I really enjoyed it.

Caroline Frost is a great character. I really liked getting to know her. She has been in a pity party ever since she found her boyfriend in bed with a work colleague six weeks before. In an effort to get her out of it, her best friends' Mel and Sarah organise an intervention, and Operation One Night Stand is born.

I started to read this book not really sure if I would like it. However, as I got further into the tale, I found myself giggling at the antics of these three women. In a way, this has a slight Sex In The City feel to it. I love the witty banter between the friends, as well as the other characters, especially Ryan and Brian. In a way, I found the plot a little predictable, but there were a few surprising twists that I didn't foresee. I love the bar scene where Brian (the bartender) and Caroline flirt for the first time, as well as the bathroom scene later. Talk about hot! *Fan's myself*

I enjoyed meeting Melody and Sarah, who are just as strong and feisty as Caroline. Sarah is Caroline's room mate and Melody is an old school friend. Ryan and Brian are gorgeous and sexy as sin. I liked both guys, though I thought Ryan wasn't quite right for Caroline. Subconsciously, I think Caroline knew it too.

This story had me smiling, then chuckling if not out right laughing at some of the situations some of the characters have gotten themselves into (the gym scene comes to mind). The sexual situations were explicit though not too erotic. However, they were all hot.

This book doesn't end with a HEA, but neither does it end in disaster. It fades out, so it is left to the reader to decide how they want the story to end. I would hope for a HEA, but life is not necessarily like that.

Christine Hughes has written a wonderful contemporary romantic comedy. This is the third book I have read by this author. I love her ability to bring the characters to life on the page. I eagerly look forward to reading more books by her in the future.

Due to scenes of an explicit nature, as well as bad language and excessive consumption of alcohol, I do not recommend this book to readers under the age of 18. However, I highly recommend this book if you love romantic comedies or contemporary romances. - Lynn Worton

Caroline Frost meets Brian and Ryan at a bar.  She flirts with Ryan at first.  Thinking she will send him a drink, she starts talking to the amazing bartender, Brian.  Hence the love triangle begins.

She has already gotten rid of a fiance whom she caught cheating - in her own bed!  She is gun shy and afraid to trust anyone again.  Especially a good looking man.  

Ryan takes real good care of her.  He does not want anything permanent and is good with just sleeping with her on the fly.  However, she continues to run into both Ryan and Brian and the one night stand feels like it never ends.

Brian, on the other hand, is actual friends with Ryan, as well as roommates.  It feels weird to Caroline - being attracted to Brian.  She has more in common with him, could see a future with him.  How does she go about facing that, much less asking him out after what has gone on?

Then there friends start getting to know one another and going out with one another.  It actually starts to feel awkward.  What is a single girl to do?  She wants now to get rid of Ryan and start something with Brian.  If it is even possible.

Wow!  The author actually handled all this very well.  The banter is amazing!  The laughs and the tears and oh the sexy parts.... Well, needless to say it is a book worth recommending!  I give this story a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

"Operation One Night Stand" by Christine Hughes is a hugely entertaining, yet often thoughtful and always absoutely honest story about love and relationships. Caroline finds her fiance in bed with the intern and with the help of her friends gets 'back in the game'.
With great fun and an upbeat feel the story reminded me of the best parts of Sex and The City, where often seemingly shallow chick-lit material was looked at closer with a wider understanding of the human psyche and made you stop and think.
There's much character depth and development in this coming of age story. The book is explicit, refreshingly honest and hard to put down. Enjoy it for the great one-liners, the hilarious situations, the coming of age and the smooth writing style. Highly recommended.
