Today I have a review stop on the One Night by Aleatha Romig blog tour. One Night is a standalone adult contemporary romance that I adored.
Synopsis
One night to remember
Is that too much to desire?
One night for fun, passion, and a chance to remember what it’s
like to be a woman.
I’m not looking for love.
There’s a man in my life who loves me with all his heart. He has beautiful blue
eyes, is three feet tall, and calls me mommy.
He’s my whole world and I’m his. Fate stole his daddy way too soon.
What would happen if I allowed fate another chance, just for one night?
One night to help a friend
Why did I agree to this?
Blind dates are disasters. If I weren't helping the friend of a friend, I
wouldn't go.
I’m not looking for romance, love, or even a one-night stand.
After all, the man my friend knew is gone. I’m no longer the hockey star known
for his "pep" on the ice and in the sack. I have a new life, and a
new career—a new passion. I’m not looking for more.
When the blind date is a bust, could fate change everything?
One night doesn’t end with a kiss—it begins
with one.
Be ready to laugh, cry, and fall head over heels
as you meet Leatha, the lighter side of Aleatha in this new sweet and sexy
stand-alone romance, ONE NIGHT.
"I really enjoyed One Night, it left me with a smile on my face and my heart happy!"
One Night is told in duel POV between widower & single mum Amanda and former hockey player turned teacher Malcolm. Amanda and Malcolm meet and have one night together but is that all it will be.
First I loved the writing of One Night there where some beautiful lines and the writing just made the story more beautiful. The story is very character driven than plot driven and I enjoyed that. Even though it's told in two POV 's I felt this was Amanda's story of growing and taking a chance and making one night last forever. I loved seeing Amanda's supportive family and friends it was great to see she had the support and I adored her son Jace.
A few little things is it is was quite predictable in some aspects however it didn't take away from the story for me personally. Also I felt it dragged a little during the middle but in the end picked up and ended on a beautiful high note.
Overall I really enjoyed One Night it was sweet but had a serious side. It has some sexy scenes thrown in but it didn't take away from the story and journey of Amanda and Malcolm and their realtionship. This was set over the fall period and it will make a perfect, fall read curled up with a blanket and a cup of warm tea. 3.5 stars to One Night.
