Diving into the Montgomery world was an entirely new experience for me. Picking up this book felt like embarking on an exciting adventure. Although it’s the seventh installment in the series, it stands strong on its own. “One Night With You” tells the poignant love story of Claire Harlow and Kingston Montgomery. They share a friendship, yet a harrowing incident that nearly claimed Claire’s life has caused her to withdraw from him. Her resolve to maintain this gap, despite her deep-seated feelings, intensifies Kingston’s remorse over not being there in time to prevent her ordeal. However, the dynamic between them shifted when a planned group weekend retreat turned into an intimate weekend for two, courtesy of a snowstorm.
Readers planning to read “One Night With You” should prepare for an enthralling tale filled with passion and emotion, set against the backdrop of the Montgomery family’s intriguing world.
Kingston’s selflessness endeared him to the reader, making it easy for one to adore him. He was the type of person who would give endlessly, expecting nothing in return. Claire, equally generous, complemented him perfectly, making them an ideal pair. Despite her battle with PTSD, which often led her to distance herself and push Kingston away, Claire’s love remained strong. Upon hearing of Kingston’s recovery from a bone marrow donation, she couldn’t stay away any longer.
The progression of Claire and Kingston’s relationship from friendship to romance made for a passionate and heartfelt read. It wasn’t just Claire who secretly nurtured a crush; Kingston also harbored deep feelings for her. Despite his attempts to escape them, it all came to a head on one unforgettable night. The night he finally faced the truth. Together, they had many challenges to overcome and in the end they did.
