But when Jenesis steps into Kelan Masters' gym, she gets more than she anticipated. Kelan, a man who’s never had to chase a woman, is instantly captivated by Jenesis. She’s different—unimpressed by his charm and unaffected by his reputation. Despite the magnetic pull between them, Jenesis is determined to keep things strictly platonic, knowing that getting involved with Kelan could complicate her already fragile life. But Kelan isn’t the type to take no for an answer, especially when his heart is on the line.
A chance encounter in Miami changes everything. What starts as a night of carefree celebration spirals into an unexpected, passion-fueled connection that neither of them saw coming. "One Drunk Night in Miami" will alter their lives forever.
Meanwhile, Dior, resolute in her decision to prioritize her happiness, has sworn off men until the right one comes along. Then she meets Kane Masters—wealthy, irresistible, and determined to be more than just a weekend fling. Kane, much like his brother, finds himself entangled in a complex game of desire and pursuit, as he tries to win over a woman who’s not easily swayed.
In this tangled web of love and loyalty, two brothers and two best friends must navigate the murky waters of desire, temptation, and the consequences that come with following their hearts.
One Drunk Night In Miami by Alecia J is an unputdownable African American romance that delivers single women on the hunt for love, unhinged and wealthy Alpha men who don’t take no for an answer, and the irresistible allure of second chances. If this sounds like your kind of story, then this book is for you.

I stuck around for the ride but if you dislike the cheating “trope” then don’t even pick this up. Everyone is in a relationship except for Jensis and Dior our FMCs. They’re single as a Pringle.
Some scenes were so off putting that I had to sit with myself and think, is this for real?
Kelan and Kane (MMCs) gave me the creeps. Kelan continued to make moves on Jenesis although the author made a point to reiterate that she was very intoxicated, needed assistance to stand and did not remember the interactions later. Keep this in mind when it’s mentioned that he then RECORDED their whole hookup as proof that she was begging to be intimate with him. And the second time she was in bed sleeping and he pulled her gown up to ~admire~ her naked body.
Now Kane has pulled a gun on Dior when she declined a threesome and offered her a large sum of money after making her stay. Weird! Also all of the other random men interested in the FMCs happen to be married or in a relationship as well… just odd.
Jenesis automatically wanting to act as a mother figure for Kelans child, odd. -
I really couldn't rock with Kelan and Kane. Cheating even though you're mentally no longer in the relationship is stupid to me. He should've just broken up with Melani before pursuing Jenesis. The simple fact that he pursued her and acted like his girl didn't exist turned me off, and I just couldn't get over that. He seemed like he'd be an awesome boyfriend, but I couldn't look past him being a cheater, so I didn't enjoy the book like I wanted. It's personal but not the book itself. The book itself is a good read but would've been an awesome read if I was rooting for the characters; however, I wasn't. Jenesis doing the complete opposite of what she said was a no for me. The fact that she eventually looked past Kelan being in a relationship was a no. Her bestie Dior was blah to me. The fact that money motivated her to have a threesome with a complete stranger was a no. Again, personal preference made me not connect with the characters. Also, the book ends on a cliffhanger. I doubt I'll read the next book, though. It was a good read, just not my cup of tea. All I felt between Jenesis and Kelan was lust, not love 🤷🏽♀️ Kane is a red flag, so he's a hell no for me.

The way this book does not need a part 2…
-
This book is toxic and messy af and for the most part, I enjoyed it. Now there were two parts that I find HIGHLY problematic, but I’ll mention them later.
This book is told in seven POVs — Kelan, Jenesis, Dior, Kane, Melani, Bryson, and Bonnie. Look. Everybody didn’t need a POV chapter. Like I understand why the author did it but let’s be real. Anything mentioned in Melani, Bryson, or Bonnie’s POV can be revealed in someone else’s POV.
Aside from that, the storytelling is really good. I was really engaged and it kept me guessing. And like I said before, it’s hella messy. The characters are also very contradictory. For instance, I really like Dior but sis is a walking contradiction. How you gon be upset with Meishia for sleeping with Tavaris when he was in a relationship with you but you encouraging Jenesis to do the same thing? Girl make it make sense.
However (!) I really liked the friendship between Jenesis and Dior. You can tell it’s a real friendship and that they really care for each other. They are also hilarious.
Now, the problematic stuff…
I was really feeling Kelan and Jenesis in the beginning, but the drunk night in Miami put me off Kelan a bit. Based on the title, I assumed both parties would’ve been drunk and crossed the line. I didn’t like that Jenesis was drunk but Kelan wasn’t. Yeah we can say he turned her down in the beginning and all that but he still gave in. A drunk yes isn’t a yes my 🥷🏾 and the fact that she didn’t even remember it made it even worse. THENNN this 🥷🏾 had the nerve to record them. JAIL!
Also why was this 🥷🏾 still with Melani so far into the book? We already established that he didn’t want to be with her. So why are you sneaking around with Jenesis? Just break up with Melani. Tf?
The more I’m thinking about it, the more I’m realizing I don’t really like Kelan. He was playing in Jenesis’ face far too much for me, and I don’t like the fact that he assaulted her (because let’s be real. That’s what it was).
I don’t like Kane’s toxic, problematic ass either. This 🥷🏾 pulled a damn gun out on Dior because she didn’t want to have a threesome with him. 🥷🏾 she just met you! No means no. Tf. THEN Kane has the nerve to blow Dior’s phone up like he’s her man or some sh*t. His ass can go to jail again too.
Maybe Kelan and Kane will be redeemed for me in part two, but I doubt it. I’m only reading part two to find out how tf Dior is fed and who actually snitched on Sincere. -

Baffled.
Let me be clear the actual writing/ storytelling was good. But the story, the characters, events within the story was HORRIBLE! This may not make sense to most, but it does to me.
Despite the decent writing, I do not recommend this story. It was grossly irresponsible and the lack of trigger warning really emphasizes my disgust.
I can’t wrap my head around a world where, sexual assault is involved in a happily ever after. And this story featured, not one but two couples who assault the FMCs. And one recorded the act and sent it to the victim. And the author treated these acts like normal romantic gestures.
There’s unhinged and there’s abusers. It may be blurred, but the line exists. This is dangerous to dress up nonconsensual acts and describe them, but frame as someone being too into you. Nope. That is disturbing and disgusting.
Dior was a horrible friend and both women were birds. Jenesis’ had no backbone or self respect.
Kelan was a horrible MMC, who courted and formed a relationship with Jenesis; despite being in a long term relationship. Who also continued to have sex with, but threatened Jenesis from entertaining anyone. The entire story he kept going on and on about leaving Melani, but never did. And the way she was treated at the end was uncalled for. The audacity of Jenesis to accuse the woman of being on drugs and talk ish about her; threatening to beat the woman. And she’s sleeping with this girl’s man and building bonds with her child. Like sweetie?! What are you talking about? You have no room to say ish about Melani.
This was a mess and I still haven’t addressed Kane, who is as trash as his brother.
Throw the whole story away. Despite the ending. I can’t hate read any further. -
1⭐️Let it be known that this is probably the worst thing I’ve read… and that includes Morning Glory Milking Farm.
This was recommended as a stay up all night kind of book but it was deeeefintely not. It should have been a DNF for me with how poorly written it was and all the motherfuckas, bitches, n*ggas, and hell nah’s… but it was a train wreck I couldn’t look away from.
Expect lots of cheating, the side chick pov, and the main couple not being actually good people, especially the man 🙄🙄
**Warning: prison, cheating, drug dealing, torture, gore, assault, sexual assault*
Worth the read?: NO
Reread?: NO

I have so many mixed reviews after reading this. There were so many moments when I had to put my kindle down and shake my head. Let's just start with, I didn't like any of the people in this book and how they were portrayed but I couldn't put the book down. Kelan and Jenesis really got on my nerves!! I thought Jenesis had more sense than she did but her actions showed me she isn't as wise and I thought. Now I have to read Part2 because I need to see what Melani is about to do now that Kelan has finally stopped cheating and ready to be faithful to his Jenesis smh.
-
OMFG!! Melani is bat shit crazy. She has no redeeming qualities to me…at all. Jenesis…I really love her and what she represents. Kelan should have been ripped the bandage off when it was concerning Melani. Please read it and review it. Patiently waiting on part 2!

🤯🤯
This was a crazy ride! Like, I don’t know how I kept up with everything that was going on but I did and I enjoyed it. The last 4-5 chapters had me very stressed and I am eager to see what happens in part two. -
Okay. I finished.

This was a two star read through and through. The author didn’t build up Miss girl and Sincere relationship enough for the heartache and pain she wanted to convey. Jenesis had me hype I love a FMC with a different job, about her bag or whatever. She lost me soon as she got me, if you gonna make the character a BAD ONE and a real no nonsense girl then STAND ON IT. Jenisis talked a good game and was fake tough for all of 3 chapters when it came to Kalen, she folded like a futon EVERYTIME. While I get she isn’t a mother I think as a woman she should’ve had the sense to ease into that little girls life. As a father Kalen should’ve never had his child around Jenesis so early on. Kalen gave coochie hungry attention starved slime ball. We spent hella chapters listen to him cry and complain about Melani but never leave, he knew she was gonna bring drama but ain’t get no paperwork drafted ain’t dismiss that girl until dang near the end of the story. He continuously crossed Jen’s boundaries and was constantly sexualizing her (like immediately too).Jen says let’s be friends even though she knew lol she wanted to try, what does he do go for a hug and feel on her booty like PACK HIM UP. None of his thoughts or the stuff he said was romantic or sweet. Nor did it ever give he saw Jen as more than a hole to fill. He asked his baby to keep a secret ?!? Like yeahhhh get this baby away from him cus huh. All he had to do was LEAVE THAT GIRL! Like you hear miss girl say she wanna be friends why you posted up with her and ya baby like y'all partners or something. Very nasty very slimey all the way through. Then the author decided to pick and choose when he was gonna be a man of morals. He turned down sex with her initially cus she’s drunk BUT ITS APPROPRIATE TO LOOK AT HER NAKED BODY WHILE SHES SLEEP ? Had the nerve to say “im not on no weird stuff” LIKE ACTUALLY BROTHER YOU ARE. Now Kane was even worse cus how you brag about three ways but BULLYING someone into one like huhhh? What is you on as an author to write something like that. Like Dior had the right to have her gun out cus she didn’t know what she was walking into, Kane wanted to flex back and prove a point… Like wasn’t a single thing sexy or erotic about Kane and Dior, author should’ve kept that interaction in the drafts. Next up how is Dior and escort, an agent and a bartender like the pieces is not falling into place appropriately. I feel like the author had a decent plot idea but it became way too jumbled and messy but the situations all lacked depth and nuance. None of the drama felt well crafted, it felt like let me toss this trope in her and this one too oh and a lil of this for good measure. The story wasn’t long enough for what all she tried to make happen. I will not be reading the second part at all because I hate a love triangle(unnecessarily) sneaky friend circle/ deadbeat mom / side piece story and that’s really all this was.

If I could give 0 stars I would.
Every character in this book did the opposite of what they said they WOULD NOT do.
Jenesis: " I'm too pretty to become somebody's side chick. "
Dior: " I don't do threesomes, and I've never been paid to have sex. "
Kelan: " I'm not a cheater. "
A woman who willingly has sex with a man who's in a relationship has no morals or self-respect. A man who sees that a woman is willing to do that to herself and still ignores it will continue that pattern.
The phrase: " The same way you get them, is the same way you lose them." Comes to mind with these characters.
Kelan cheated on his girl because Jenesis was beautiful with a big booty. Whose to say he wouldn't do the same thing to Jenesis?!
The only reason why I wanted to keep reading this book was to see if Imani left Kane. I didn't care about the other characters because they are all for the streets.
I tried to get to the end, but the more the side chicks kept justifying what they were doing, the more disgusted I became.
Cheating tropes is not for me. DNF!! -
Her Man is My Man and My Man is Her Man
The DRAMA never stopped in this book and I was here for all of it!!!…This book kept me thoroughly entertained and laughing because Dior is the friend you definitely keep around!!!…
Melani knows she fumbled a good man and I can see the messiness coming for sure because she is not going to just let it go!!!…I bet she is really hurt learning the woman whose man she was messing with is now messing with the man she just lost!!!…Now that’s Karma knocking for real!!!…
I truly hope Sincere has not taken Dior because things are really going to start shifting because I think he knows that Jenesis loved his cheating tail way too much to turn on him!!!…
Now Bonnie has herself in a dilemma and I’m sure her and Kane both will walk away from this better off because someone else has her heart!!!…
Jewel running around play big boss, but she still has not had that convo with Kane about his bio mom!!!… -
😲😲😲WOW!!!
I must truly say Alecia J, did her thing with this one. I don't understand women sometimes because I your mom or granny may have told you that what ever you do to capture that man's heart to must continue and then some and that's for both sides, so for Melanie to encourage Kelan into starting his business only to becoming a lazy at home baby momma that was neglecting her duties as a.potential wife and mother; she became the total opposite which was sad.
Jenesis bouncing back after her ex went away was a good thing but she was not living just existing that was until her best friend Dior convinced her to join her at the gym and that's where she seen her future. As you read this story it will have you laughing as well as gasping at some events but each page will hold you captive til the end wanting more. I just hope whoever broke into Dior place doesn't hurt her because Jenesis and Kane would not be able to cope. -
Small World
Now what are the odds of them messing with the same men twice. So that means Melani been cheating on Kelan and Jenesis ' ex Sincere done got out of jail. What's blowing me the most is the situation that Dior is in. How she working with the Feds? Who she done snitched on? Who the fk done snatched her up? I really want her and Kane together but if she working with the law Kane is the last person she needs cause that nicca crazy. I love Jen and Kelan together but I got a feeling Melani and Sincere ain't gonna let them be great. Oh let's not forget about Mommy Dearest, ion think Kane gonna take her confession to well. I'm gonna patiently wait on part two tho.💖💖 -
Omg omg the way this book ended, It got my nerves on the edge. I can't wait for pt2. As always, my sister always comes through with that heat🔥🔥! Them damn brothers is a whole mess they got some issues, especially kane's ssa he is a whole fool lol at least Kelan got some sense lol and Bryson he definitely doesn't got it all. Jenesis and Dior them my girls that got these 🥷 tripping over their ass 🤣. That B!tch Melani gonna be a problem. I can see it now. I hope in pt2 she gets the ssa whipping she deserves. Great way to start the series. I love it here. I can't wait for pt2! As also, Alecia J, ur pen game never ceased to amaze me another great book to add to my collection.

Now wait a minute!
Aleciaaaaaaa. How are you going to end part 1 like that? I am so bored at the reveal And what part 2 holds! I thoroughly enjoy A good storytelling ability and Alicia never disappoints! Kelan The gym owner and trainer It was definitely a different story line from your typical rich drug dealer. I love when authors can switch it up and show us something different But still relevant to our culture. Islam definitely But I But I am more curious aboutam Kane and Dior ! It's a sickness of mind to always be intrigued by the supporting charactersI cannot wait till all of the secrets and lies unfold in part 2! -
Babbbyyy, I am shook 😅 The revelations honestly threw me for a loop but have me anticipating the next book!
I loveeee Kelan! He really was an amazing man. I enjoyed seeing the way he cared for Jenesis & didn’t let up. Now if I was him, it wouldn’t have taken that long to cut Melani off because she was terrible. Kane was absolutely insane but I loved every minute of it. Dior, girlll idk what she got going on but I need an explanation asap!! Kane & maybe even Kelan are definitely gonna come in guns blazin as soon as they catch wind of what happened to her. You definitely won’t be disappointed with this book! -
This was an awesome read! That ending, wow!
First let me say them Masters brothers ain't no joke! They see who they want and go after it! Jenesis was framed by whom, not sure yet but Sincere was wrong for accusing her without hard proof! Dior's undercover work, I truly want to know what's going on with her! After what happened at her house, we are left hanging! Kelan is truly fed up with Melani and that ending, wow! Kane and Bonnie, they are are truly mismatched so I wonder what will happen with them and Dior! I can't wait for the next book! Mama Masters don't play either. Great read Alecia J!!!! -
Jumbled Up
Its so many things that needs to be addressed in this story.
1. Two non-cheaters, cheat with each other. It was a wrap when they got emotional attached to each other and to add alcohol it was definitely a wrap.
2. Threesome that leads to a Twosome. Make me understand why you stay in a relationship where there nothing worth saving.
3. Past hurt in a relationship cam cause to lose out in the future.
4. I need a friend like Dior,, she didn't play about her best friend. She said she would even fight a man about her best friend.
5. Secrets are always going to be exposed.
6. I think I love me some crazy alpha men.
Magnificent!!!! -
oooooo
I’m ready for part 2 now. The sex You in this book is hott. The author made sure you weren’t getting a predictable book or characters. All of these characters got some mess with them. Even Emmy she snitching on her Gigi to you lol. The sneakiness in this book is unbelievable sheesh. Jenesis will make you look at her crazy for moments but it makes you wonder in part 2 where the author will go with this tad bit of tea . Dior is the friend you be like how they friends but they love each other. That cliffhanger was something else. Good job -
Ohhhhhhh…… I knew it
My good sis never lets me down 🔥🔥. I have never wanted two people together so bad. Jen esos is such such a beautiful soul and a baddie about her business. Dior is the bestie everyone should have and I know her and Kane are made for each other. Melani needs her a beat down that will turn her every which way but loose. I had a feeling about her possibly cheating and with who and chileeeee that ending proved me right. I can’t wait for part 2 because things are about to get real interesting
