One Night Only: A Shifter Romance Novella by Elle Kayson, Elle Kayson
5.0

What a read… and I do mean whew!

Madame Cupid invites you to step behind the velvet curtain and experience all the secret pleasures of the Red Key Club on the night of February 14th. One night. One key. One unforgettable love story.

Now hold up—before we even get into the plot… where do I get a key?! Because baby, I’m tryna RSVP immediately. The vibes, the heat, the mystery? Yeah, go ‘head and sign me up.

Let’s get into it though: Imagine meeting your soulmate at 18. I’m talkin’ real-deal love. The kind that wakes up your soul. But then imagine having to walk away… not because you wanted to, but because loving her out loud meant putting her in danger. That’s Malachi’s side. Now imagine being Zuri—left behind, heart shattered, no real answers, and trying to pick up the pieces for ten long years. Love hasn’t hit the same since, and every relationship feels like a watered-down version of something you used to know.

That kind of pain don’t fade. That kind of connection don’t break. And Malachi? His inner beast is fed up. He’s tired of fighting what’s his. Zuri might not know what’s living under Malachi’s skin, but trust—she’s about to find out. That man is on GO. And his only goal? Take. Claim. Keep.

Shoutout to the real MVPs—Tante Eloise, Deidre, and of course, Madame Cupid. They knew exactly what they were doing setting that night up. The stars aligned, and what was once broken finally had a shot at being whole again.

This story was short, spicy, and had me hooked from start to finish. It gave second-chance romance with a paranormal twist and just the right amount of heat. Elle Kayson did what needed to be done. Again. This was more than a story—it was an experience. Go grab it. Trust me, you’ll be looking for your own Red Key after this.
