Review One Night Only
"One Night Only," by Miss Jenesequa, is a captivating little whirlwind of a romance. It's the kind of book you devour in a single sitting, leaving you with a warm, fuzzy feeling and a craving for more. The premise – a woman escaping heartbreak in Cabo, only to stumble into a passionate encounter with a captivating stranger – is classic romance, but the execution is fresh and engaging.
What truly sets this novella apart is Rubi's journey. Her betrayal by her husband and sister is heartbreaking and raw, and Jenesequa beautifully portrays the emotional turmoil Rubi experiences. You feel her pain, her anger, her desperation for escape. This isn't just a surface-level portrayal of heartbreak; it's visceral and relatable, making Rubi an instantly sympathetic character. The author doesn't shy away from showing the messy, less glamorous side of emotional upheaval – the late-night tequila shots, the tears, the overwhelming sense of betrayal – and it makes Rubi's eventual healing all the more satisfying.
Then comes Camden. He’s the perfect antidote to Rubi's pain; a kind, attentive, and undeniably attractive presence who understands that sometimes, all you need is someone to listen without judgment. Their connection is immediate and intensely believable. The chemistry sizzles off the pages, building a palpable tension that keeps you glued to the story. It’s not just the physical attraction, though that's definitely present and powerfully depicted; it’s the unspoken understanding, the mutual respect, and the effortless ease they find in each other's company that truly captivates.
While the story is short, it packs an emotional punch. The pacing is perfect; the plot unfolds organically, leaving you wanting to know more about Rubi and Camden's future. It’s a testament to Jenesequa's skill that such a short story can evoke such strong feelings and leave such a lasting impression. The 70-page length is a definite plus; it’s the ideal read for a busy day or a relaxing evening when you don't want to commit to a longer novel. It's a perfect palette cleanser between heavier reads or a satisfying quick escape when you need a dose of romance and emotional release.
Many readers, like myself, found themselves longing for a sequel or a longer exploration of Rubi and Camden's relationship. That's the ultimate compliment to the author, isn't it? The story ends on a hopeful note, but it leaves you wanting more, and that lingering desire for more speaks volumes about the impact of "One Night Only." If you're looking for a short, steamy, emotionally resonant romance that will leave you feeling satisfied yet wanting more, this is definitely worth your time. Highly recommended.
