From New York Times bestselling author, J. Daniels, comes a sexy new STANDALONE novel.

Riley Tennyson has made a huge mistake.

At least, that’s what she keeps telling herself.

Showing up to her brother’s wedding pissed off and newly single, Riley seeks comfort in solitude and an open bar, until the gorgeous and irresistibly charming CJ Tully makes her a better offer―a wild night with the master of smooth-talking where nothing is off limits.

Riley does what any single woman would do, and a connection is made. One neither one of them can ignore. But when she comes home to the boyfriend she no longer thought she had, Riley buries her secret and begs CJ to do the same.

Forget about each other. It was a mistake. That’s all it was… right?

Desires are hidden. Distance is kept. Until one night CJ makes the ultimate sacrifice, and Riley can no longer avoid the man she can’t stop thinking about.

Not with him sleeping down the hall…

MY FAVORITE BAMA BOY EVER!! I think I’ve said that when I read Reed but hot damn, CJ changed my mind. What I Need was a brilliant play of flirting, romance, a tinge of drama, and a whole lot of fun! 

"I got a taste of something I want more of and a taste like that, babe, there’s no forgetting.”

Riley just wanted to be enough, and she would do anything to be just that. This sweet, sweet girl was an absolute treat in this story. Riley was definitely a sunshine momentarily covered by clouds but once she was able to shine, you just can’t help but love her. She was selfless and thoughtful but contained a passion that only CJ Tully could unleash. 

Between the rough and the dirty he gives me sweet as if he really cares and this really matters, and my little naive heart believes it.

CJ Tully was surrounded with love birds. But he never quite craved falling as much as he did when he saw Riley Tennyson… at her own brother’s wedding. Oh my gah! CJ IS SOMETHING ELSE!!! I'm sure Tully is his own category of hero. Sweet, hot, naughty, perceptive, and persistent. AND a cop! What more can you ask for? He is THE ultimate book boyfriend material. I loved how he was hot but was quirky, too. How he was courageous but was sweet as hell. How dirty and consideate he could get. He was a confident man who knew what he wanted and deserved and he wasn’t shy on showing and saying how he feels about it. And man, does this man have a way with words. Seriously, I dare you not to fall for the #TullyCharm

Do you have any idea how good you look being mine?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the push and pull between CJ and Riley. The moment they surrendered to each other was off-the-charts hot but also so sensual and romantic. Miss J. Daniels definitely knows how to answer every Bama loving reader’s whims. Every possible fantasy, wish, emotion, and desire was met so brilliantly. It was funny yet also sentimental. It was sexy but oh-so sweet. It was bone-deep romantic but fell within reason. The plot was just continually engaging and interesting. What I loved, too, was how the other characters of the series were so intact, present and felt; feeding my Bama obsession so well. Clearly, Miss J knows what the readers wants and she gives it to us only to make us want more. 

What I Need was just jampacked with every single thing you want and need in a romance. Maybe even more. It certainly surpassed my expectations! J. Daniels continue to outdo herself. I can't wait for more Bama!!
