REVIEW: JUST ONE FLING is the ninth instalment in Carly Phillips’ contemporary, adult KINGSTON FAMILY erotic, romance series- a series interconnected with the author’s Dirty Dare /Dare Nation series. This is actor Harrison Dare, and twenty-four year old journalist Winter Capwell’s story line. JUST ONE FLING can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Harrison and Winter) JUST ONE FLING follows in the aftermath of a summer fling between Harrison and Winter, and the revelation that Winter is the half-sister to Nicolette Bettencourt (Asher Dare’s wife). Winter Capwell grew up never knowing who her father was, and the discovery that her father is a US State Senator meant Winter had a number of half-siblings that she knew nothing about. Befriending Nikki Bettencourt came with secrets and lies, lies that are about to reveal the truth about Winter’s independent past but a summer ‘fling’ with Nikki’s brother in law Harrison ended, and several weeks later, Winter would discover she is pregnant with Harrison’s baby. Struggling to understand what happened and why, Harrison leaves a heart broken Winter to question where everything went wrong but once the announcement hit the papers, Winter would find herself a target of an unknown stalker. What ensues is the second chance romance and relationship between Harrison and Winter, and the potential fall-out as the threats against Winter become personal and deadly, revealing a connection to everyone she knows.
The relationship between Harrison and Winter began as a summer fling following an interview with our leading hero. As a journalist Winter wanted to report about the success of Harrison Dare but Harrison held back many secrets just as Winter held back many more. Together, Harrison and Winter would raise their child together but someone else is hoping to destroying our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.
Once again, there is are large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including many of the previous story line couples. We are reintroduced to Asher and Nikki; Asher and Harrison’s parents Serenity and Michael Dare, and their brother Zach, and Zach’s friend Raven, as well as Nikki’s brother Derek, and their parents Senator Corbin and Collette Bettencourt. Zach’s story line is next.
JUST ONE FLING is a story of secrets and lies, family and relationship, betrayal and vengeance, obsession and madness, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is heart warming and engaging; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are charismatic and charming.
