One Night Denied by: Jodi Ellen Malpas

 The passion that burned between Livy and Miller in One Night: Promised may end up destroying them both in this new novel of overwhelming desire and shocking discoveries...

He's amazingly wealthy, sinfully gorgeous, and can bring her to heights of pleasure she's never before known. For Livy, there's no turning back. She's determined to be the light in Miller Hart's dark world. Yet this new life comes with a steep price...

Miller knows that the power he possesses hasn't come without sacrifices-but he won't let Livy be one of them. Though he wants nothing more than to have her in every way, his first duty is to protect her at all costs...from his sins, his enemies, and especially himself.

But as their insatiable affair intensifies, the two attract the attention of an obsessive-and dangerous-third party. Discovering new revelations about Miller that rock her to the core, Livy will have to decide whether he's ruined beyond repair. And he must face his fear that in order to save her, he may have to lose her after all...

Wow!!! I am not sure how to tell you about One Night Denied by Jodi Ellen Malpas. As the follow-up novel to One Night Promised, One Night Denied picked up about two weeks after the infamous hotel lobby cliffhanger. Livy has tried to no avail to get her life back to the way it was before wrecking ball Miller slammed into her normal life. However, her judgment could be called into question because of some of her decision making skills or lack thereof. From finding herself in a compromising situation with someone who was even more unavailable than Miller to partying it up at Club Ice which owned by you know who and then is surprised when all hell break loose.  

This read was nonstop. There was so much going on here as the story unfolded that extended way beyond Miller and Livy. There were back stories to back stories that answered some of the questions I had after book one, but presented new questions. One Night Denied had so much drama within its front and back cover that was both necessary and unnecessary. However, as I continued to read, there was a point when the songs playing on my Pandora station were reflective of all the drama unfolding as Miller and Livy fought against the world. From Mr. Know-it All by Kelly Clarkston to Complicated by Rihanna each song told parts of their story in this book of the One Night series.

I digress. This was a difficult book to review. I enjoyed reading it mainly because I have grown fun of Miller and Livy and consider myself a fan of JEM. However, as I said before there was a whole lot happening in this novel and it is hard to articulate my exact vantage point without giving away any spoilers. Nevertheless I am definitely going to recommend that you jog on over and read this one, because I am convinced that the final book, One Night Unveiled, will definitely make this trilogy your thing.
