About this listen

A BRAND NEW chilling psychological thriller from the BESTSELLING author of The Fake Date, L. H. Stacey

One night. One secret. One choice she can never take back.

Daisy Bailey has it all: the perfect home, the perfect husband, the perfect life. Or so it seems.

When she runs into Tom Burgess—her first love—old feelings spark back to life. But what begins as a nostalgic reunion soon twists into obsession, temptation, and a dangerous game Daisy can’t seem to walk away from.

Her sister Sarah thinks she’s reckless, ready to throw away her marriage to Cole for a man she barely remembers. But Cole has secrets of his own. And Sarah knows far more than she’s admitting…

As desire tangles with deception, Daisy finds herself spiralling into a web of secrets and lies. One mistake leads to another… until tragedy strikes, and Daisy is forced to make a devastating choice.

How far will she go for the man she can’t forget - and what will her one night stand cost her to finally know the truth?

L.H. Stacey - The One Night Stand

Audio book review.

Would you take a chance on a one night stand with an old flame who still lights your fire?
Daisy did just that. But if she thought she could go back to her safe life with her rich and handsome husband, she is in for a rude awakening. Secrets have teeth, and this one is ready to bite Daisy right where it hurts.

I finished The One Night Stand a few days ago, but I’ve taken some time to process it in my head. It’s one of those books that doesn’t leave quietly when you finish the last page. It steps back, but continues to whisper to you and questions your every thought about what you’ve just read.

I had mixed emotions about the characters in this book.
Overall I liked Daisy. She was maybe a little selfish, but also hugely manipulated by the men who claimed to love her.
Both of the main male characters sent shivers down my spine, and not in a good way.

The story is told from the pov of Daisy, her sister Sarah and Tom - Daisy’s ex.
The tension kicks in from page one. When I thought we were going one way, LH Stacey throws in a curve ball and drags the reader off down another dark alley.

The One Night Stand is dark and atmospheric. It’s chilling, disturbing and completely gripping. There is sadness in this story, and it did make me quite tearful. But it’s fair to say that once your in, you won’t want to put it down.

L H Stacey doesn't sit her books squarely in one genre. She takes her stories and makes them uniquely her own. The One Night Stand is no exception, and it’s a compelling book to read.

The audio book is narrated by Claire Storey. She does a great job and really captures the tension and mood of the book.

I thoroughly lost myself in this book and I can only give it five shiny ‘read me now’ gold stars.
