A little too perfect...
While I liked One Night, it was just a wee bit too predictable, eye-roll worthy, and the hero was just a little too perfect. Don't get me wrong, I like it when a hero is a good man, but in this case, he said and did EVERYTHING right. He was good looking, patient, kind, sensitive, thoughtful, and sexy. While all of that is sweet and very appealing, it's hardly realistic. I should know as I have a near perfect husband but even he bugs the bejeesus out of me sometimes. I couldn't find one fault in Malcolm... oh wait, there was one problem...
Malcolm has a ... DUH DUH DUH ... Rod of Steel
Please, please, PLEASE... never make me read that cringeworthy description again in this lifetime. It does not turn me on or make me feel anything but horror and a little concern for the heroine's safety.
The sexy times were plentiful and there seemed to be a lot of screaming satisfaction. Unfortunately, between the descriptions (bring in the *steel rod*), unrealistic first date 'playtime', and her screaming *O's*, the sexy times were eye-roll worthy. I just thought that their chemistry, trust, and connection a little too insta.
The storyline was cute and while I understood Mandy's hesitation in bringing a man into her life, she held out a little too long to share her reality. Mandy showed Malcolm very little respect by wanting to keep herself and her son separate from what they were sharing. It was obvious that Malcolm was far from running away from commitment, and every barrier was of her making. I even (for about 2.5 seconds) thought he'd be better off without her and her commitment issues.
It ended perfectly and everyone was happy... just as I expected. Sure, most romances tend to end close to the same way, but I still wanted a little bump to make things interesting. I even had to stop at one chapter because I knew exactly what was coming and I wasn't in the mood to see it play out. Not even a stumble... (shaking my head in disappointment).
Please don't judge by my review alone because maybe I'm just too jaded to believe in a perfect hero... even for One Night.

Your review is too good and hilarious though *steel rod* certainly sounds concerning.

I'm not sure I'd want a steel rod waved at me. 😉🙄
