Just One Time – K.S. Hunter
Desire can have dire consequences
Two years ago, David Madden made a mistake that almost cost him his marriage. His wife, Alison, gave him another chance, but she has not forgotten, nor has she forgiven.
She is irresistible
Then David meets the alluring Nina at a theatre in London. When he loses his phone in the dark, she helps him find it, and by giving her his number he unwittingly invites her into his life.
What David initially views as an innocent flirt turns into a dangerous game of deception. His increasingly suspicious wife thinks something is up, and each lie he tells pushes them further apart.
She is insatiable
Nina pursues David relentlessly, following him to New York where she gives him an ultimatum: sleep with her, just one time, and then she’ll get out of his life forever; or she’ll ruin everything he holds dear.
She is unstoppable
Of course, once won’t be enough for Nina, and what David hoped would be the end is merely the beginning.
A modern-day Fatal Attraction, Just One Time is a steamy psychological thriller that will have you hooked from the first page and holding your breath until its shocking conclusion.
If you liked Gone Girl and Maestra, you’ll love Just One Time.

I am glad the book’s blurb mentioned Fatal Attraction – I have not seen many films made after 1995 and I was worried that stating Just One Time had reminded me of Fatal Attraction would make me seem a bit out of touch!!!
But it did. Remind me of a film with an obsessive female and a man totally out of his depth.
Just One Time opens with David getting drunk and intimate (graphically) on a one night stand. His wife finds out about his dalliance. We spin forward two years and David’s marriage is just holding together, his wife has not forgiven him but for the sake of their young daughter she has not kicked him out. David is very much aware that he is on his last chance but his “moment of weakness” had been Just One Time.
But on a night at the theatre David meets Nina. She gets his phone number and she wants him. Obsessively and Nina is not going to give up until she gets her man. So will begin David’s torment. Shunned by his wife and desired by a gorgeous woman will David give in to his temptations?
Well there are spoilers in answering that so you will need to read to find out more. However, I can share that Nina will stop at nothing to get what she wants and David will find it increasingly hard to escape her advances.
Just One Time was a quick read – Amazon showing 180 pages in length so I zipped through it. But it held my attention well and it gave more than one instance of uncomfortable reading. I appreciate why the description used Gone Girl and Maestra, it did merge the more notorious elements of each book.
A wee change of page from my normal books and I did enjoy it, some nice wee twists along the way too.
