I would like to thank Valentine PR & Literary Management and Net Galley for the free ARC, I am leaving my honest review in return.

This book had all the spice! I give it 🌶 🌶 🌶 🌶 🌶
Ella has been $3x deprived since her uptight roommate is always around with his judgmental eyes. Little did she know he’s been holding himself back because how bad he wants her.
When naughty & depraved circus rolls into town, this is her one chance to let lose. She’s had these desires of giving up complete control. Being at the mercy of someone else. Living & breathing just for them. She is a natural sub and doesn’t know what to do.
Hunter the owner of the circus/Master is bewitched by Ella. He’s ready to give her everything she needs. But then Nicholas, the roommate shows up and he is NOT having it. His jealous/possessive side shows up and he does not like the fact that another man is touching Ella.
I loved the struggle with the roommates. But I also fell hard for Hunter, he was as easy as breathing. Nicholas just upset me at every turn, I was not his fan and kind of wanted him to be kicked to the curb.

Pepper Winters' "One Dirty Night" ignites with sensuality as Ella's birthday celebration takes an alluring twist within the confines of a circus. When she agrees to a night with the enigmatic owner, a tantalizing proposition from her flatmate, Nicholas, sparks her curiosity. As Ella embraces the idea, the stage is set for a night of profound lessons and shared intimacy, delving unabashedly into themes of dominance and submission.

Easily the most passionate read I've encountered this year, "One Dirty Night" by Pepper Winters had me captivated. The magnetic interplay between Ella and Nick, particularly Ella's skillful manipulation of his jealousy, kept me enthralled. The dynamic of a hero realizing his inability to live without the heroine, fueled by a touch of jealousy, has become a craving of mine.

The book's exploration of kink was precisely balanced, even for someone like me, not accustomed to the genre. Pepper Winters' mastery in crafting characters shines through. I find myself yearning for the enchanting world of Hunter's "Spectacle of Secrets" circus, and I can't help but demand an entire book dedicated to the enigmatic Hunter himself, curious to discover which woman will ultimately capture his heart

One Dirty Night by Pepper Winters is a provocative and intense standalone romance that defies expectations. The story centers around Ella, a microbiologist living with her unfriendly flatmate Nicholas, who's consumed by his work on a cancer cure. Ella's pent-up frustration leads her to a traveling circus with a provocative secret. Hunter, the circus owner, offers her a night of uninhibited passion. Nicholas, who secretly desires Ella, intervenes, leading to an unexpected arrangement where Ella explores her desires with both men. Pepper Winters weaves together emotion, angst, and sensuality, creating a captivating love story between Ella and Nick. The characters are well-developed, and Hunter Dixon is a delightful surprise, deserving his own story. Ella's fight for Nick's love adds depth to the narrative, ultimately revealing that their connection was always meant to be. While the steamy scenes are a highlight, the book also offers Pepper Winters' signature emotional depth. One Dirty Night is a must-read for fans of dark romance, delivering an erotic and beautiful love story between two destined soulmates.

The title says it all. If you are looking for extremely high spice with D/s dynamics, this story will hit all your buttons. There is a love story woven in there somewhere. I love a great Pepper Winters story generally and this one was hot for sure but just okay. 3.5 stars

4.5 🤩🤩🤩🤩
“Hangry Love”

Ella is on a mission to Free Ella. Home girl is repressed and ready to get her freak on. But it’s not just sex for her. She flourishes in submission, a product of a tragic past involving the loss of her parents. For someone so smart though, she’s a little slow on the uptake. 

Nick is narcisstic and immature. But he too is a creation of a tragic past that he never overcame. He is motivated by fear which makes him vulnerable, something he is not a fan of. It also decides his every interaction with Ella. During that One Dirty Night, you witness his uncontrollable desperation for her. It’s really criminal some of things he confesses to her. 
These characters’ behaviors will likely piss you off but the explosive chemistry and the reasoning behind their issues could soften that blow. 
Another reason: they are starving! Literally. I’d be mad and frustrated as hell too if I was hungry all the time. All that pent up emotion needs to go somewhere!
Let’s talk about the third main character: Hunter. If you don’t read this book for anything else, let it be Hunter! The ringleader of the hottest sex circus on Earth is incomparable. He is intense and unapologetically hedonistic—I’m so here for it! And the mouth on him…grab a towel, peeps. Grab a towel. 

There is a triple whammy of chapter endings from 8-10. I felt like a goddamn fish caught by a humane fisherman but it was such a wild catch and release – thrilling, unexpected, yet oddly satisfying.

Great narrative timing and pacing. The dialogue, especially involving multiple characters is unmatched. I love the humor dispersed with the intensity of their passion. The tense dynamic between the male leads is palpable and really jumps off the page. 
Top moments: EVERYTHING HUNTER. (Please Ms. Winters, tell me he is getting his own book!)

Nick’s “I want her” speech and his vow to her are also epic. 

Great filthy book for your weekend. Pick this one up, it’s worth the read!

Sweet jeezus could be two most apt words spoken in this latest from Pepper Winters to describe what I just read from this talented author. One Dirty Night is beyond deliciously filthy as we are treated to a true fantasy come to life in the form of a traveling circus for adults. Talk about a brilliant premise, Winters allows Ella Fitzgerald to explore her sexuality in a way that is decadent and wildly fulfilling as she embarks on a night beyond her wildest dreams. As Ella decides to step inside the mysterious Spectacle of Secrets, her ongoing frustrations with both her roommate Nick Davis and her repressed feelings are soothed in the most erotic of ways, changing both lives forever.

I mean seriously, someone hand me a cigarette already! I read this baby on a train ride home from Philly and to say I was a squirming, heated mess is the understatement of the year. The way the story unfolds and how Hunter Dixon, as the gorgeous head 'ring master' so to speak of his naughty circus, takes Ella into his world to show her how to be a submissive while allowing Nick to tag along and try and uncover his dominant tendencies, is one fierce good time. I have to admit that after reading several BDSM books over the years, I finally fully understood the whys of both Ella's and Nick's needs as our guide in Hunter explains all of their cravings in a thoughtful and gentle way. Not that his commands are necessarily kind but his experience is paramount in showing our couple just what the lifestyle could do for both of these hard-working and extremely focused scientists, finally letting go for perhaps the very first time.

A truly eye-opening experience for Nick and Ella, the night they have with Hunter is debauchery of the very best kind, full of harsh realizations, encouraged introspection and a new way of expression they never could of imagined needing as much as they do. The way Nick, in particular, struggles with his inner dom after eight months of long-held feelings for Ella explode in the six hours both he and Hunter explore their new sub and it leaves him beyond raw and unsure. But I was thoroughly delighted for Ella that she found a fresh kind of power in submitting to these two men, unleashing within her the chance to feel free. And it's that freedom she not only wants more of but the full surrender from Nick to become hers in body, mind and soul.

This book is full of the kind of fire only Pepper Winters can create. But what sets it apart from so many other similar kinds of storylines is that within all the kink are true feelings, touching moments, a bit of sharp humor to lighten things up a bit and the respect that can only come from when trust is given completely. Although Ella definitely comes to her own realizations as to what her needs will be going forward, her determination to force Nick to have his own lightbulb moment was not an easy task. But I really loved how she continued to ask Hunter for advice and put into action the ultimate plan to make Nick hers.

When looking for the kind of book that will have you fanning yourself and often, grab One Dirty Night. It's a page-turner like no other and features great characters and an awakening that is both painful in more ways than one yet truly beautiful to witness. Ella has one incredibly passionate and eye-opening evening that changes everything she's ever thought she knew about herself and offers up the opportunity to simply want more. It's a rougher road for Nick to find his kinky footing but I loved how Winters didn't allow Ella to give up on him even when she might have had to nonetheless.

Pepper Winters asks at the end of the book if we readers want more from Hunter and his Spectacle of Secrets. This girl is answering with a resounding YES since both he and his manager Giselle are fab characters and I so want more with them and their merry escapades. One Dirty Night is the very best kind of guilty pleasure and I happily give this wicked great ride a huge 5+ stars!

This book needs to come with a Warning to proceed with caution if reading this book in public!
This author never disappoints in creating original sensuous stories flawlessly articulated and executed.
This devilishly dirty story is for anyone needing an escape for the most and sinfully decadent filthy fantasies!
It is the hottest book with a complex that left me hanging to every word❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
We meet Ella driving home thinking about how disillusioned and bored she is with her life. It’s her 24 birthday and she has no plans and no one to celebrate with.
Driving home she passes the big top of a circus who just arrived into town. Daydreaming of past memories she passes a half dressed man whacking a sledgehammer into a a peg for post for said big top to the new circus in town!

That opening scene alone is the introduction into a fast paced and deliciously decadent story of mysterious men and fantasies fulfilled!
Let’s just say this is not a family friendly circus!

This circus is aptly named Spectacle of Secrets The Spectacle of Secrets and for its opening night it invites you to One Dirty Night.

Entrance to this particular circus has certain requirements that abound with promises of unabridged pleasure.
The type of circus that is Strictly R18 and entry must include a recent medical health certificate and proof of age. A place where you can watch or participate!

I was hooked to this story! I hung to every word. Every scene was better than the last!

Oh my goodness s fasten your seatbelts and hold on for a wild ride!!

What happens to Ella was more than she EVER imagined not only because of the secrets fantasies but the discoveries she makes…
This author masterfully wove an intricate story that is equal parts kink and something more complex!
Enter this read and discover all of its deliciousness…I can assure you you won’t be disappointed!

It’s Ella’s birthday and she has a big night filled with … nothing of extreme excitement … until she locks eyes with a man who is assembling what appears to be a circus. however, she quickly realizes this circus is meant for adult activities she decides to bite the bullet and attend. once she gets home, her cold roommate lies saying he’s going to work when she knows it’s unlikely; assuming it’s just Nick being well … Nick she puts it out of her mind and continues to get ready for her night. Once she gets close to the big top, she sees the man Hunter, the mastermind behind this whole thing, and she’s entranced, scared but excited but those feelings don’t last long because Nick finds her there, and looks disapproving. After some back and forth, Ella convinces Nick to join her and Hunter for a night of fun and while Nick agrees, he is firm on it being just that — one night. But throughout the night, many lines blur, feelings are exposed and Ella realizes those feelings she had for Nick might not be one sided. With some advice from Hunter, Ella has to make Nick also realize his feelings before they’re out of each others lives forever.

this was such a fun read. i was sooo into it from the first couple of pages. the writing was perfect. i really liked ella and hunter, nick was kind of whatever but i see how his character worked. pepper winters is going to have a lot of women messaging her that babies were made because of this book😉

Dirty, filthy night. One single night of debauchery. Two men. One ever after.

Pepper Winters spent 10 years sitting on this story. I don't know whether it was a form of torture or edging but I'm glad she finally "released." One Dirty Night is both a fever dream and an erotic whirlwind that will have you panting, squirming, and possibly ever attacking your significant other or BOB.

A magical place where fantasies are reality. Dark hidden corners teeming with desire. Shadows are unlocked passions. Carnal and explicit. One Dirty night is all they needed for infinity!

Lots of spice!

“One Dirty Night” is the new book by Pepper Winters and tells a sinful and really spicy story that is only suitable for readers aged 18 and over.

Holy Moly! I already knew from a few books that Pepper Winters could write really spicy stories, but with “One Dirty Night” she definitely topped everything before!

We accompany Ella to a very special circus on her 24th birthday. There she meets Hunter, who seems to see all her fantasies and longings. Just once she wants to be brave and not let her fear crowd out her needs.

Hunter not only exudes sex appeal, but is an alpha through and through. All that matters to him is giving Ella an unforgettable night and concentrating entirely on her needs.

I really liked Nicholas at the beginning and I have to say that he surprised me a lot as Dom. However, he also made me quite angry at times and I felt very sorry for Ella.

This story is very focused on the sexual aspects and the plot takes a back seat. I'm not a fan of Dom/SuB and BDSM, but I was very excited about the idea of ​​the circus. Unfortunately, we didn't really notice much about this sinful circus and I really hope that Pepper Winter will change that with Hunter's book.

Thank to Valentine Pr and Pepper Winters for providing me with an ARC.

Having read quite a few of Pepper Winters books, I knew when she wrote a warning that this book would rival many of her others in the heat department. This was a fast paced book with excellent characters. Emma seemed a very conservative person, Nick withdrawn with one purpose in mind, finding a cure for cancer and Hunter, I really don't know what category to put him into except to say that he was very Hot. Put them all together for one dirty night and they were explosive.

Pepper Winters writes books that definitely keeps you engaged and this is one of those books.

Thanks to Netgalley and Pepper Winters for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Just wow! Once I started reading I could not stop! It held my attention the whole time! I flew through this book!

One Dirty Night
by Pepper Winters

THOUGHTS:

I want to thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for giving me the opportunity to read an e-arc in exchange for my honest review.

This book had me on my knees. I love a good kinky MFM book with DOM/SUB aspects. The spice in the book surprised me because I absolutely went into this blindfolded and unknowing. Where has Pepper Winters been my entire life—I need more of her writing. This book had me wanting more more more even by the very end. I loved following Ella and Nick through this book and watching them go from enemies to lovers…Hunter…oh my! I don’t want to say much about this book and I recommend you just go into this book blind and you will not be disappointed.

It’s Ella’s 24th birthday. She’s headed home to do a whole lot of nothing when she drives past the bogeys man she’s ever seen in front of a circus setting up. Only, it’s not actual a circus like you would think of a circus. It’s actually for adults only. She’s going to live out her greatest fantasies with this man AND her roommate she’s secretly attracted to.
HOT!

This book, where do I start. If you are looking for spice with a side of love, you’ve found it! I’m not sure that this book was my cup of tea. I prefer a little more storyline/character development. Hunter’s role seemed a little forced and unnecessary. The H has issues with death that seemed really strange. The h was meh and was written like she was a strong female, but ultimately she was a sub, so I had a hard time accepting that juxtaposition.

Absolutely loved this book! This book was absolute fire and I devoured it in one sitting. Thank you so much for the ARC!

I love this story honestly. I think its coming across to me at a time where I needed a distraction and it definitely provided a delicious one.

Ella has been living with her flatmate Nick for a few months now and he has always acted like he does not like her. That is until they run into each other at a sexy circus. The kind of circus that is most definitely not meant for children but for adults to live out there wildest, dirtiest fantasies. Ella has already decided to spend the night with the super sexy circus owner but when Nick shows up offering himself as well, she gets to spend the night being owned by both men.
This book is super spicy and I absolutely devoured it! If you enjoy MMF scenes and Sub/Dom relations then this one is definitely for you!

A boring drive home gets interesting when Ella sees flyers indicating a big top is setting up. This isn't your average circus, though....this one is strictly for adults with big fantasies. Ella decides to go for it, but things get even more interesting when her hot roommate shows up, too.

The little tag line for this book said 'Rated F for filthy' and I've never read a more accurate book description. The entire first third of this book is 100% sex that will make grown women blush. It's an MFM situation with a regular MF storyline developing after the first third.

This book was definitely steamy. Like you will blush to hard to read this while anyone else is present in the house steamy; it's definitely not for beginners. If you're into erotica, however, pick this one ASAP! My only even vaguely critical note was that the phrase 'not crossing swords' got thrown around all over the place but I understood after the first time, they both think they're big manly men, I didn't need it reiterated that much. :)
