We Own Tonight by Corinne Michaels | REVIEW!
I'm not a one-night stand kind of woman. I'm especially not the woman who has a few drinks at a concert and ends up in bed with my childhood celebrity crush, Eli Walsh.
However, that's exactly where I find myself.
What's a girl to do after a drunken mistake? Run. I grab my clothes and get away from the powerful, irresistible, and best-sex-of-my-life superstar as fast as I can. His gorgeous green eyes, rock-hard body, and cocky smile have no place in my world. My life is complicated enough.
Someone forgot to tell him that.
Eli is relentless. Pushing his way into my heart, wearing me down, proving he's nothing like I assumed, and everything I need. But when my world shatters to pieces, he holds the broken bits together. Unwillingly, I fall desperately in love with him.
He made me think we'd have forever... I should've listened when he said we could only own tonight.

My Review:
"My chest tightens as I wonder what alternate universe I'm living in. How does one of the sexiest men alive think that I'm in any way special? I'm average on a good day. He's extraordinary on a bad day. This is crazy."
So, I feel this book started out really strong. I loved the first couple of chapters, but I have to admit, it fell a little short for me. Even though I am rating it four stars, the ending all wrapped up really nicely, the middle fell flat.
I hated the mixed signals Heather would send. She was a good character, but she just couldn't make up her mind on what she wanted and in way it became a cat and mouse thing. Even though it didn't last long, it drove me nuts.
"'I know.' I put my hand to his lips. 'I'm telling you that I need you. I need you to make me feel alive. I want you to make love to me because I want to make love to you.'"
There are some sad parts, so be prepared to cry. The middle will cause many water works. Eli is very swoon worthy. He is perfect for Heather and gets under her skin enough to make her see whats right in front of her.
I love how it all wrapped up. Corinne is great at making all the stars align just right. It was a perfect ending. I did really enjoy these characters and would totally read more from them. I am interested in Randy, Eli's brother and Savannah, his wife. We will see what the future holds.
"'I told you, we're heading to the bus!' he yells as he spins around to face the party. 'We'll be done in a few hours. I'm going to make my girlfriend scream for a bit."'
4 Stars.
