Maybe in Fifty: A Novella (Love At All Cost Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 103 ratings

"Night isn’t over until one of us has to leave."

After my latest book release didn’t do as well as I’d hoped, I need a distraction. Flirting with a hot Scot in a hotel bar is the perfect solution.

It certainly beats drowning my sorrows with whiskey sours.

For one night, I’ll forget about my book and allow myself to be charmed by a stranger… one who could ruin me if I dare to ask for more.

Maybe in Fifty is the deliciously spicy prequel novella to Unexpectedly Ruined. It contains mild spoilers for the Love At All Cost series, including A Voice Without Reason and Not Her Villain.

Irene Bahrd is a feisty Capricorn and one of the most avid readers you will ever meet. Her favorite genres to read or write include romantic comedies, political romance, romantasy, and the occasional contemporary or dark romance.

She started her writing journey as a dare from a friend, after recounting dating stories from her early twenties. They inspired her to write spicy romantic comedies and parodies that feature a variety of book boyfriends—though most are cinnamon roll golden retrievers. Many of her stories contain LGBTQIA+, disabled, and neurodivergent characters.

    Short and sweet little nugget to give us readers a taste before Unexpectedly Ruined. It’s cute, steamy and worth the read!

    I read the warnings that it was a prequel - but I’m a little down because I want more and I don’t want to read a whole book to get my happy ending.

    🌟 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄: This is definitely a me issue - I just wanted a novella that had a happy ending and some extra romance.

    But in prequel world… it was supposed to get me excited to read the book and it did just that. Writing was solid and the two characters seemed fun. Might revisit when I have some reading space.

    To live out a fantasy from a book you write. That’s what I felt reading this novella that introduces Amanda and Jack. She’s at the hotel bar wanting a one night stand and not having luck until she meets a hot Scot (Jack). A fun and sexy night turns into a one night stand she wished for only she’s left wanting more. I’m a fan and can’t wait to read more of their story!

    If you’ve read the other two books in the Love At All Cost series, you are familiar with Amanda. She is outspoken, wild BFF of Becca and Layla. They are all writers and this book finds Amanda a little disappointed after her latest book release. She meets a mysterious man in a bar and decide to have a night of adventure with him. They agree to no names and telling the other nothing about themselves.

    This sets off a long night where they are just free of anything. They traipse all over New York City in various adventures, and eventually find themselves wanting more of the other. It’s pretty much instalove for Jack. Amanda is not looking for any attachment. The bookstore scene was my favorite for the sweet and spice.

    These two were definitely hot and I can’t wait to read their full length novel.

    I received an eARC of this book and am willingly leaving this honest review.

    TROPES
    🥯 Age Gap (8 years)
    🥯 One Night Stand
    🥯 Instalust
    🥯 Dual POV

    This is a prequel novella to Unexpectedly Ruined, Irene Bahrd’s new book that comes out January 19. I am so incredibly thankful to be on the ARC team for that one, and they sent us an early copy of the prequel (even if I’m reading it after the release date).

    Maybe in Fifty has perfectly set me up for Unexpectedly Ruined. Jack and Amanda’s chemistry is great, and I can’t wait to see how that grows for them when they (hopefully?) meet again in the next book. Though a quick window into how they met and spent a night together, it is an ideal novella in my eyes.

    The best part is that they don’t even know each other’s names. The mystery adds intrigue but also has my brain flicking through a million different scenarios of what will happen next.

    A very quickly novella that end with a spicy bang and a cliffhanger. This is the prequel to an upcoming book. Two strangers meet and decide to spend the night together. Neither to reveal who they are and keeping it to one night only. But as the night continues they both find themselves wanting to know more. And with that cliffhanger I want to know more!!!

    Absolutely love Amanda and Jack's night together! Irene is a mastermind with her characters! The relationships she create and the chemistry they share in phenomenal. There's so much spice and the perfect blend of plot! You will fall in love with all the characters!
    I love reading Irene's book because I can literally get lost in them. They transfer me to another world where I become completely immersed.
    This is a prequel for Unexpectedly Ruined, but do yourself a favor and read all of Irene's books!

    I received an ARC of this book, and my review is entirely my own.

    What a cute ARC, super grateful that I was able to read and review it! I loved getting a glance at Amanda and Jack in this prequel novella to "Unexpectedly Ruined." This novella was a super cute and quick read, the perfect way to finish any reading goals before next year. Amanda is looking for a fun night with no strings when Jack (AKA Hot Scot) finds her alone at the bar. After an exploration of all the city has to offer, they decide to come back to the hotel and explore each other for one night before they go their separate ways. This novella is part of a series but was a great standalone if you only wanted a short read with lots of spice.
