One Dirty Night was gooooooood.

Haven't heard of a travelling sex circus before but I am definitely on board with the idea after reading this.

This book is a great balance of spice and story, and I definitely would love to see future books set within the same travelling circus setting from Pepper Winters.

My only downside was the amount of internal dialogue inbetween the spicy scene descriptions, I would've liked a little less of it.

Thank you Pepper Winters and NetGalley for me to read One Dirty Night. Ummmm WOW 🌶️. It was not at all what i was expecting and i was very pleasantly surprised. If you re into BDSM, MFM, Enemies to lovers, praise kink, forced proximity and explosive chemistry than this is the book for you!!!!!

One Dirty Night is a dark, high spice, angsty romance. Ella discovers a deviant circus where people can fulfill their darkest fantasies on her way home one night. When she finally convinces herself to check it out, she meets Hunter, the gorgeous owner of Spectacle of Secrets. Hunter offers to help her indulge in her dark fantasies. Her antagonistic flatmate Nicholas sees her there and wants to give into his desires he has about her. Desperate to have her, he begrudgingly offers to share her with Hunter. Ella sees this as an opportunity to make him suffer and payback for his disdain towards her. As the night progresses, secrets are revealed that will change both of them forever. No cliffhanger and HEA ending.

What to expect: 
- Intense, smoking hot BDSM scenes
- Secrets revealed during scenes
- A lot of angst
- MFM & MF
- Off the charts chemistry
- Self discovery
- Soooo many emotions throughout the book

I was not expecting so much from this book. It was a lot of emotion to experience with all three characters. Ella fought so hard for love I thought it would break her in the end. And the sex scenes...oh my lawd they were HOT!!!!! This is my first book from Pepper Winters and she did not disappoint. I plan on reading her other books. If you can handle menage with BDSM and emotional turmoil, you need to read this book! Thank you NetGalley and Valentine PR & Literary Management for providing an advanced copy for review.

Such a fun read! Perfect 4 star book for me.
It is exactly what it's meant to be. Perfect spice to plot ratio for the mood I was in, Pepper Winters gave depth to the characters and I liked seeing the background to it. I might have liked to see more of the circus but I also liked the mysterious aspect of it.
I loved Hunter and I really liked seeing Ella grow into herself and her desires. Kind of got annoyed with Nicholas several times. I feel like his reasons for not being with Ella were trying to be noble but just didn't hit the mark for me.
In saying this, I really enjoyed how Winters wrote the angsty longing of will he won't he. The shock of seeing Nicholas at the circus, then the offer that he gave of a night with both him and Hunter then his jealousy and possessiveness in having to share AND THEN whether or not there could/would be more for them had me so excited and completely hooked throughout the book. All in all, such a fun read.
Thank you to Valentine PR & Literary Management and NetGalley for an ARC of this book, in exchange for my honest opinion.

Did not want this book to end. I couldn’t put it down!

This is my first book from Pepper Winters and now I’m down the rabbit hole of her previous work.

I am obsessed with Hunter and had truly hoped he would pay Ella a visit. His life’s work, The Spectacle of Secrets, needs a series of its own. I would drop everything to read more about this man. Makes me want to drive around in the ran, praying for a circus tent to appear….

I truly enjoyed Ella’s story and her desire to break free and truly live delve into her fantasies. Nick is a complicated man who needs a hard nudge…. So much spice,

Ella Fitzgerald shares a house with her colleague Nicholas Davis. She secretly lusts after him. She wants him to own her, but he hardly even speaks to her.

When Ella sees the naughty Spectacle of Secrets she thinks it could be just the ticket to meet her darkest desires.

It was ok but I didn’t love it. The writing style wasn’t for me. Loved the kink. I do love a threesome, just didn’t like some of the ridiculous phrasing and thoughts put into italics annoys me.

A bit spicy at times. There is more to it than just the erotic part. The story is a little thin, using the spice to make up for it. Let's face it, it's just erotica, but with a somewhat decent story mixed in.
Not bad overall.

Well, well Pepper Winters....you naughty girl. How did this story basically sit in "time out" on your computer for so many years? I'm not sure how it happened, but I'm glad you finally decided to bring it out to share with us....

The title, One Dirty Night couldn't be more fitting since it's one dirty night that changes the trajectory of the main character, Ella's life. She's living a predictable life. She goes to work, comes home and has an ordinary schedule with nothing exciting to break it up. Then the Sensual Circus comes to town....along with Hunter who is a dominant that Ella finds herself drawn to. But it's not quite that. cut and dry because Ella is harboring a secret crush on her roommate and work associate, Nick. But he treats her like a pariah. Or at least he did until he sees her at the Circus and figures out she is going to have "experiences" with Hunter. Then suddenly he's protective and concerned. Not just that, he's obsessed with her and animalistic in his demands. But also insistent that anything that happens will end after that one night. But how do you truly tuck emotions like that back in a box after one night? Can you erase an awakening like that and pretend it never happened? Would you want to?

This book definitely doesn't shy away from dirty talk, descriptive sex, some BDSM and dom/sub discussions. So, if any of that bothers you, steer clear. If you find any of that intriguing, this book will pull you in and you'll be hooked until you wring every last word from it.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. I voluntarily chose to read and review it and the opinions contained within are my own.

I almost DNFed this book. But I pushed through. This was an okay read for me. It's a bit darker than I'm used to. Lots of smut and low on the storyline and character development. Overall, if you like a dark and heavy book, this will be the book for you.

Thank you to NetGalley and Valentine PR & Literary Management for the E-ARC.

All thoughts and opinions are honest and my own.

HOLY SMOLY, that one scene lasted for half the book lol. Decent read, I kinda wish she ended up with the other dude...

This was the first Pepper Winters book I've read and in short order, let me tell you, I'll be reading more. Spicy doesn't even begin to describe this book wherein the first half is basically all one scene. The author does a great job explaining subspace, consent and the power dynamic of the sub being in control. At no point was I ready for this book, or the scenes, to be over. Quite possibly the most well written, spiciest erotica I've read. Every character was their own, there wasn't sex for the sake of sex; it was always an indication of release, letting go, learning about yourself and all the sex positivity one could want in someone exploring their dark desires.

I am a sucker for all things circus, so when I saw that Pepper Winters was releasing a new book centered around a sexy circus, I couldn’t wait to read it! It was everything I was hoping for! One Dirty Night centers around the Spectacle of Secrets and a sexy set of roommates, looking to spend one night fulfilling fantasies they’ve kept under wraps. When the circus sets up in their town for one night, the last thing they expect is to run into each other. But what starts out as a night to scratch an itch for each of them, soon turns to more when a sexy stranger helps them uncover secret desires neither of them had ever embraced.

If you are a fan of Pepper Winters, you know that she writes in several genres. This one is on the super sexy side, and what I would classify on the erotica edge. This book features high spice, with BDSM scenes, and a MFM scene (MF after). If that isn’t your thing, this one might not be for you. I absolutely loved seeing this from Pepper and couldn’t put this book down! This one started with the heat right away, and I loved seeing how Ella and Nick explored their sexuality and the connection between them. I also really loved Hunter and his role in helping these two out.

This book was exactly what I was looking for. It contained so much heat and chemistry and was one of the spicier books I have read in quite some time! It also had a genuine connection between the characters that I loved seeing grow and change as truths and desires were discovered and embraced. I truly hope that Pepper Winters continues to write books in this world as I would love to get stories for some of the characters we met here! Giselle and Hunter would be amazing to get more of, but I also believe that this world holds so much potential and who wouldn’t fall in love with a traveling sex circus? If you like your books on the dirtier side and aren’t afraid of a little kink and heat, I highly recommend this one!

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review and wow! What a read! This was my first time reading something so spicy and it did not disappoint! It really managed to keep my hooked in from start to finish. I don't wish to share any spoilers as I feel its best to discover for yourselves so all I will mention is - travelling sex circus and BDSM. One Dirty Night, just as the title goes and from there the main character Ella is awakened to a whole new world. If you are after some spice then please, go read this book! Thanks again to NetGalley for this one!

3 ⭐️ 4 🌶️ Thanks to the publisher & NetGalley for the ARC!
This book was a fun read. I was definitely questioning it from the first chapter, but the second picked up fast and HOT. The carnival scenes from the beginning of the book were amazing. I did feel like some parts dragged out as the author was trying to explain/describe too much but overall I really enjoyed reading this book! The dynamic between the FMC and MMC was very confusing at times, but I loved the forced proximity considering they worked and roomed together.

Holy crap! This book was sooooo gooooood. I’m not a big fan of erotic romances. When Pepper decided to release a book she wrote years ago I was very intrigued to read and apply for an ARC on NetGalley and with the author. The author and the publicity company sent me an ARC and I was very grateful because this is an extraordinary book.
I loved everything in this story.
Hunter Dixon has something I loved the most. His sexiness and mysterious side makes your blood pressure high. He has a presence in a room that makes want you to be there with him.
I like the dominant Nicholas and how crazy he was for Ella. The way he wants to dominate her is hot.
Ella loves to be a submissive and Nicholas was the man she wanted with that side of him she always desired.

I really loved this erotic romance and I hope someday Pepper Winters decides to give Hunter a story. Until then I hope readers like me love this book and enjoy it like I did.

I've read Winters' works before and they were always seductive, enticing, and still had a bit of plot behind them. One Dirty Night is sexy and stimulating, it's dark and erotic, but unlike other words by Winters' I didn't get that loose plot that I like. However, this doesn't diminish the writing, the story taking place... it just makes it different. The characters were hot, if a little filthy, so if you're looking for a smutty read, this is one I would suggest. It isn't Pulitzer winning writing or storytelling but it is entertaining enough.

One Dirty Night was definitely a spicy MFM and MF experience Ella was just coming into her submissive side and was open to learning what her limits were while allowing someone else to hold control. Hunter definitely brings the hottest spice to the story with his dirty talk and Ella and Nick are experiencing around their feelings for one another.

🔥 Holy hell, I need a cold shower! 🔥

One Dirty Night…. Ella finds herself entranced when a circus comes to town, a tantalizing s3x circus. Little does she know it will open her up and change her life forever.
Her flat mate, Nick, is also there. After 8 months of living together, things come to a head. 😉
Circus master Hunter gives them the freedoms to explore all their needs and more in the hot, fast, erotic book from Pepper Winters.
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Highly recommend. Now excuse me while I go change my panties…. 🥵😜

Thank you to NetGalley and Valentine PR & Literary Management for this ARC in return for my honest review.

This book was very well written, and a very quick read. I loved the FMC, she was feisty, smart, and went after what she wanted. The MMC on the other hand, could be very annoying. Everyone dies eventually, and I understand he went through trauma losing some of his family, but dude if you like the girl then tell her, because just coming and claiming her when it's convenient to you was not a good look. But Hunter, OMG!! I would have taken him up on his offer the first time and said screw nick. Hunter told her straight up what he wanted and didn't drag her along until it suited him. Overall it was a very good book, and I loved the HEA. I would definitely recommend it to my friends.
