One Night: A Novel (Avon Romance)

I loved the way these 2 got together, and then how it went back & forth. Just when you think it's over, another thing pops up. Very enjoyable reading! Made me think about my one night experience, 41 yrs later. Still married to him :)

I've read several of Ms. Macomber's books. Most are romantic with implied sexuality if any at all. Although I'm not a prude by any means, I found the graphic descriptions of sex between Carrie and Kyle to be a bit of a shock because it seems out of character for her writing style. Many of her books have a religious thread in them since they deal with angels or have titles like God's Guest List. No one in this book was remotely angelic. That being said, I found the whole premise of two people who literally hated each other so badly that they were at risk of losing their jobs all of a sudden becoming lovers and planning a life together within a couple of days to be ludicrous. Reminded me of the whole Bachelor/ Bachelorette premise. Life and love just don't happen that way. Ms. Macomber should stick to what she does so very well and leave the graphic sexuality to the Harlequin series that so it quite well. Her attempt seemed like an awkward foray into an unfamiliar territory.

I am trying to get to read all of Debbie Macomber's books and wanted to read this early product. I think her later books show she has found her voice and her fans. This seemed so unlike her that I had to keep checking to see if I had the right one. It is interesting to read it just for the purpose of comparison. It had more the romance outline of today that is really explicit. It had lots of twists that were imaginative and I am glad I read it.

I love Debbie Macombers books and have read nearly all of them . I love her series but found it great just to read a one off that doesnt flow on. It made for a quick and enjoyable quick read. They always have meaning to them and a positive ending thank heavens. I dislike sad endings. It is holidays and on holidays you want nice books to read and this fell into this category for me. I would always recommend her books to anyone who loves getting lost in a book for a while in life and has a feel good to it. Thanks Debbie

One of her best books, love, mystery, a book you can not lay down. Book will having you thinking one way then the other happens.
