Fifteen Nights
Zoe Lee
Publication Date: January 26, 2017
Genre: Contemporary Romance
The deeper they look, the harder they fall.
Jamie Houston was supposed to just be Leda Riveau’s Thursday night (and maybe Friday morning) fun.
Leda has awesome brothers, friends who are as allergic to emotions as she is, and a great job. She’s back in her hometown, Maybelle County, after a romantic and professional disaster three years ago in Nashville. It might not be what she planned when she was a teenager, but it’s perfect.
Or, well, it’s almost perfect. Because Leda is still angry and bitter about Nashville, and everyone knows it. She hates romance and doesn’t do relationships, and her younger brother’s trying to get her to be nicer. But she’s not nice. She even has her own hashtag: #ledagoesnuclear.
Then she sees Jamie again, when he’s between serious girlfriends, and discovers that the chemistry she’s always suspected is right there, ready to explode if she lets it.
Jamie is a serial monogamist who’s always liked Leda, but the timing’s never been right. After he sees her while they’re both single for the first time since high school, he knows he wants to be with her. Everybody knows she doesn’t date and doesn’t get serious, but he’s always serious, especially because he has a three-year-old son and a three-hour commute to get from work to Leda.
What starts out as a casual Thursday night arrangement gets messy when Leda and Jamie also have interfering friends, sad brothers, a pushy mom, an amazing son, and chemistry so intense it’s scary.
How does a man who needs forever win a woman who hates romance?

I love that this story is a light push back against the genre. Nothing too crazy, but it is about a woman who hates romance, who falls right into the stuff romance is made of and in love without even seeing it coming, opening up to a man who waits and quietly pursues her in a sweet and passionate way… Fifteen Nights is a story that takes a woman with big city dreams living in a small town world and gives her a new dream she never saw coming. Leda put her hopes and dreams after college on the line and they were ripped away in a sad and sobering way. To say she is jaded by love and life would be putting it mildly. A woman who has been through her adventure into adulthood would have every right to be vigilant and wary. When Jamie comes bursting onto the scene, the reader can tell things are about to be so good!
These two have some insane chemistry. They are brilliant together and the constant push and pull gives this story a sassy feel. I loved that Leda and Jamie are two very different people who click. They have history and when a high school crush turns into something even hotter, the plot thickens. Jamie’s quiet pursuit of Leda is endearing and perfect. He is such a brilliant book boyfriend. Add into the drama a protective older brother, an angry ex, and friends who like to meddle, and you have a book brimming with humor, comradery, eye rolls, and fun.
Zoe Lee has given readers a fun story of love and romance that takes a bite out of the genre and leaves you with something to chew on. Fifteen Nights is laugh out loud funny story with moments of passion and heart. You will not want to miss Jamie and Leda’s book!
