He already knew, but he's about to be reminded: Your whole world can change forever in a split second


A man with a broken heart.


Doug Benton's heart was broken when he misread the cues of a purely sexual threesome. But when he meets Vivian, the sister of his employer's daughter-in-law, he wonders if she's as hungry for a real relationship as he is. There's just one problem: He's a Dominant. And Vivian is possibly the most vanilla woman he's ever met. That knowledge leaves him wondering if they could ever have anything that would last.


A woman scorned.


Vivian Norton has been dumped one too many times - the last time, at the altar. To make matters worse, she's fallen in love with the one man she most certainly shouldn't have. When she meets Doug at a Walters family gathering, her first thought of the good looking security agent is simply, What a heartbreaker! As Vivian gets to know Doug, she begins to wonder if they could have something more than just a fling and, even though she's scared, his calm strength gives her security and hope.


As time passes, it becomes more and more obvious to the strong, passionate young man and the sweet, innocent, curvy redhead that they want a relationship that'll stand the test of time. Everything falls into place, and they discover that each is exactly what the other needs.


But all it takes is one simple mistake to ruin everything.


And when Doug makes that mistake, there's no going back. He doesn't mean to. He tries to fix it, to take it back, to make it all right, but Vivian is having none of that. And when he finally forces her hand, he learns a painful lesson.


There's no coming back from some mistakes.


Revisit the world of the Walters family in Louisville, Kentucky, and two characters you knew but wanted to know better. It's a story of love, loss, and what happens when "I'm sorry" just may not be enough. Is there hope?


In Deanndra Hall's stories? There's always hope.

Review

"Deanndra Hall spins these tales in such a way that you feellike you personally get to know the characters and you feel the emotions as thestory unfolds. This is romantic erotica, where there is loving, committedrelationships with hot sex scenes." (Redrabbit, FiveStars)

"It's great to see the characters fromprevious stories and find out where they ended up. And hey, a secret betweenyou and I? I think each of Hall's books are better than the last... So keep aneye out. It's funny how something can be so interesting and tempting but scaryat the same time. Doug is a trained Dom, Vivian has led a sheltered vanillalifestyle... She's considering trying things Doug's way, but will she have theguts to go through with it? Things are going great, until a stupid mistakeruins everything. Can Doug make up for what he's done? Will he even get thechance? Hall has done it again, I laughed and cried, got mad and fell in love.This is an amazing book and I suggest it to anyone who enjoys strong, sweetlove stories and rough sex. But, you'll enjoy the story more if you've read theLove Under Construction series." (Jai, Five Stars)

"Oh My Hotness! This is my first book by Deanndra Hall but itwon't be my last! I found myself quickly drawn into the complex dynamicsbetween everyone. When an embarassing encounter gives Vivian and Doug a momentto bond, they hope to find what all of their friends have. Along the way, theymust learn to trust each other and themselves. Along the way there are misstepsand mistakes, things to work through and accept. I loved how open Deanndra'scharacters are. They weren't perfect, cookie cutter copies. The story line isunique and stayed floating around in my head and heart for days after readingOne Simple Mistake. I am so thankful I took a chance and opened this book!!!"(jessNboys, Five Stars)

Love gettingto go back with the Walters gang!! I felt like I was going to a family reunion!Doug and Vivian are phenomenal and I couldn't get enough! I was knocked off mychair when the twists and turns started to come! I laughed, I cried and YES Islammed my Kindle down and had to walk away ... I absolutely loved being able tocatch up with everyone from the Walters gang!! Vivian and Doug have to overcometheir past demons and together they begin the road to their happily ever afteruntil ...... One Simple Mistake, and BOY was it a doozy! I didn't see any ofthat coming and was blown away at the intensity of it all! Once again DeanndraHall gives your a story that sucks you in and keeps you yearning for more!!"(Tami C., Elaine and Tami's JB3's Blackbirds, Five Stars)

From the Author

I loved Doug when I really got to know him a little better in Renovating a Heart, and I wanted to go deeper with him. And who better to do that with than the lovely Vivian? Between the two of them, I knew it would be a sweet, sexy ride. I just didn't know how rocky it could actually get!

This book is the first in the Citadel Series, which spins off from the Love Under Construction series. I'm a huge fan of the LUC series and Deanndra Hall is an awesome author. I was pretty sad when LUC was done because this is one of those series that you get so invested in. The people in them become friends and family! When I heard that this series was going to be connected to LUC I was thrilled. I'm also thrilled to say that this new series does not disappoint!! This story gives us Doug and Vivian as they wind their way through a rocky and pain filled journey towards love and happiness. I have to admit that there might have been a time or two, possibly even three, when I thought mean and grumbly thoughts about the author when she took the story to places I didn't want them to go, but she, obviously, had good reasons for where she took them. I'll also admit that it's a better story because she took them there!! Well done!!

Ah, the damage a slip of the tongue can do. Doug and Vivian's story is happy, poignant, and heartbreaking. Both are coming from a place of unrequited love so can they fulfill that need in each other? Once again Deanndra Hall presents with such likeable characters and a moving storyline. I have to admit that I definitely shed a few tears while reading this. But, it was oh so satisfying in the end.

~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads Review Team~
3.5 stars

This is a spin off from the Love Under Construction series. I highly recommend you read that entire series first, not only because it is such a good series but because you will have a lot of back story to help you follow along with this one. Doug is lonely, he doesn't know how lonely until he sees Vivian at a Walter’s family gathering. Vivian sees Doug and thinks there is no way he would ever be interested in her, she thinks she is fat and worthless, plus he is a Dominant and she is as plain as vanilla ice cream. Doug and Viv start off slow, they have both been hurt before and they both have up walls. After a while, things are finally going great, they have both gotten pasted their issues, they have confessed their feelings to each other and they are blissfully happy. That is until one slip of the tongue stops everything. Changes everything.
Characters: The characters were well written and believable. My only issue was sometimes the dialogue between Viv and Doug seemed childish. I know Viv has issues with self-esteem and is very naïve but at times the dialogue actually made her seem like she was a little slow.
Sex: yes
Religious: no
Would I recommend to others: yes
More than one book in the series: yes
Genre: Romance, light BDSM
Would I read more by this author: yes

I never thought Deanndra Hall, could come out with a spinoff from " Love Under Construction," that would be as good. Well she has done it again with "One Simple Mistake." This book made me swoon, cry, laugh, I got mad, scared, I was happy, and I was sad. Every emotion for a great book, I highly recommend it to anyone who like a hot romance.

Another great story in the lives of the Walters family and friends. Altho this is a spin off series it still follows the loves and lives of all t h e characters from the under construction series. Has a real feel good factor abt it Altho heartbreaking in places. A real tear jerker as well. Luv these characters. Can't wait for more. So glad I found these books.

This story had everything I hate. Ménage, polygamy,fat girl reference, older woman & younger guy. The story was helter skelter. No chemistry. No love story. Forced myself to finish because I paid too much for it. Should have mentioned ménage and I never would have purchased it
