One Night Only by Catherine Walsh - ARC REVIEW

                  ONLY ONE NIGHT REVIEW 

     Author: Catherine Walsh  Note: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  Coming July 30th

Who could have predicted this? Being at the same wedding. In Ireland. There’s a reason one-night stands are one-night stands. You’re not supposed to see each other again, especially not when you’re the maid of honor, and he’s the groom’s brother…

Sarah Anderson has never been more excited about anything in her life. She’s going to her best friend’s wedding. And not just any wedding. An Irish wedding. Goodbye New York, hello rolling green hills and men with beautiful accents and twinkling eyes.

But Sarah should have known that not all guests are fairy-tale princes…

There’s the chinless Uncle Trevor, whose idea of small talk is to claim climate change is a conspiracy.

Then there’s Great Aunt Eileen, who doesn’t talk at all (she’s too busy replacing the hotel cutlery with her own set).

Worst of all, there’s Declan Murphy. Best man. Brother of the groom. And the man Sarah last saw naked.

Is there anything more mortifying than bumping into a one-night stand halfway across the world? Especially as Declan seems determined to embarrass Sarah at every turn. At least when the wedding’s over she’ll never have to see him again.

But, back in New York, Sarah finds the more she tries to forget Declan, the more she can’t shake the thought of that infuriatingly charming smile and the way he wears a tux…

Was he really just for one night only, or might Declan Murphy be The One?

Prepare to laugh until you cry with this perfect feel-good romantic comedy about taking a chance on love. Fans of Sophie Ranald, Sophie Kinsella and Marian Keyes won’t be able to put this down!

                          BOOK REVIEW 

After a disillusionment in love Sarah is content with casual sex, which let's face it, is pretty good hahaha. On one of these nights she meets Declan, a very funny man who hides some things, she is used to unique nights of pleasure and he has never experienced it. A reunion at the wedding of her best friend and her brother. This book gripped me from the first page and surprised me more than I imagined from the synopsis, the chapters are not long and consecutively very easy and fast to read, you literally devour the book in hours. Declan won my heart at the first smile and he is one of my favorite literary male characters, funny, high spirited and very captivating and leaves a wonderful air of mystery in the air. Sarah is an independent and fucked up woman, she shows the day to day struggle of women at work with male competition, an amazing friend and narrator, the scene with the boys' mother about sex in the first chapters was hilarious. The book also takes us to the incredible Ireland and we feel like we are in a real trip. This was my first experience with the author and it was wonderful. Very well constructed and captivating secondary characters that bring a joy and feeling to the great story. It is passionate about the friendships and their loving and understandable development during the story. The only thing I missed in the book was the detailed sensual scenes which we have come to expect from this genre but it's not something that affects the story and also depends on the author feeling comfortable. Super recommended. 

ARC received for an honest opinion. Thank you to the author, Nettgaley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read the book in advance.
