Blurb
One night in Vegas I gave him my heart… one day later, he broke it.
Look, I’ve never claimed to be a nice guy. I don’t do pretty words, I don’t give polite smiles, and I refuse to be sucked into the sappy bucket of sentimentality that is Christmas in small-town O’Leary. Smiling neighbors, overly decorated trees, a town parade, a Santa contest? Ho ho no. I do shifts as a firefighter, and I go home alone.
I fell into the trap once — that stupid night in Vegas — of believing there was more out there for me. I took a chance on a guy with magical green eyes and a gorgeous smile. The next day, Liam McKnight was gone. He took my heart with him… and left his wedding ring behind.
Except now my once-upon-a-time husband has reappeared with a kid in tow, and there are carols, lights, and cookies everywhere I turn. And worst of all? The spark between us burns brighter than ever, because whatever happened in Vegas definitely didn’t stay there. Liam came to town looking for an ending, but what’s building between us feels an awful lot like a beginning. Too bad it’s going to take more than a dozen interfering O’Learians to convince me to take a second chance on heartache, on love… on us.
Note: While The Night is very much Liam and Gideon's story, characters from past books do make an appearance, and you'll enjoy the book exponentially more if this isn't your first trip to O'Leary.
Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Wow, I fell hook, line, and sinker into this book. The Night, the fifth book in May Archer's Love in O'Leary series, is one of those special books that leaves a lasting impression.
I adore these two complex characters. Liam and Gideon are two men who had a hot and heavy weekend in Las Vegas that ended up in marriage. Now, it's been five years since they've seen one another, and they have their second chance.
And I love every minute of it.
Gideon's such a curmudgeon, and I loved it. I couldn't get enough of him. His reasons for this aspect of his personality are well developed and pulled at my heartstrings. Despite the angst involved when Liam comes asking for a divorce, the story isn't nearly as heavy on the angst as it could have been. The author wonderfully included enough charm, wit, and love into the story to help tone down the angst factor.
And then there's Hazel who may just be the cutest little girl ever. The author truly created a fantastic and entertaining child. I hope we see more of Hazel in the future.
Despite there being anger in spades, the chemistry is still strong and the attraction is still there. What follows is some great heat and passion, as they are stuck together for a short bit.
My favorite part of this story has to be the meddling townsfolk though. They have the best of intentions and all work together in their efforts. It is spectacular and full of humor.
The Night is the perfect addition to the Love in O'Leary series. Already a fantastic series, this one may be my favorite. O'Leary, omg, I want to live in O'Leary. Everyone is hysterical yet loving. I can't get enough of them!
This is the perfect book (and series) to just curl up under a warm blanket and lose yourself for a while.
