    About this ebook

    Anything can happen after dark …

    Tired of being treated like a servant by her own family, Lady Jane Guthrie finally has a chance to escape … at least for one night. Attired in a daring gown, she arrives at a scandalous courtesans' masquerade ball looking forward to her few hours of freedom. But when she sees Seth Rutledge, her skin begins to tingle with anticipation. Many years ago, Seth broke her heart by falling for her beautiful, title-hungry sister. But now here he is, right in front of her, offering her his lips …

    Embittered by war, Seth returns home to inherit the title that would have once won him the woman of his dreams. Though duty demands he wed, he's convinced passion no longer has a place in his life … until a masked siren sets his heart aflame. Desperate to find her again, he has no idea it's his childhood friend Jane—and that after one night together their lives will never be the same.

      I can't believe it took me seven years to circle back around to this book. There is so much great angst! I adore "unrequited" love storylines. While not quite significant enough to land on the abused heroine shelf, I appreciate threads in the plot - her cruel family, and the way her inlaws treated her set her up to be one of my favorite kinds of heroine. And while she is not plain, I appreciated her insecurity in the shadow of her beautiful sister. My only complaint is that the resolution was too abrupt. The angst is deliciously teased out but when it's time for him to grovel, it takes two pages, and then the epilogue. But seriously, sooooo much good angst, from the first page, to the last!

      Emotionally colorful book. I enjoyed reading it. The one thing I didn't like was rushed ending.
    • 4/5
      Great book, but it took so long for the hero to REALIZE how much he loves her.
    • 4/5
      Lady Jane's life has changed, ever since her husband died a year previously and she became a widow. Now she is living with her in laws, practically a servant to every whim and need. When a opportunity arises to leave for one evening, and attend a ball...she jumps at the chance. So dressed in a beautiful gown with jewelry to match, she goes to enjoy one night for herself. She then comes across a man, whom she has loved most of her life, who broke her heart, and now doesn't even recognize who she is. Seth has been damaged by war and battles, and has come home with scars both on the outside and on the inner core of himself. He knows he will need to marry so he can have a heir, but when he comes across a seductress at a masked ball one evening, he will do all to find her. After sharing a passionate night together, Jane goes back to her unoriginal life, but when Seth keeps crossing her path, not knowing she is the mysterious "Aurora" with who he has shared sensual nights with, she knows it can never last. But when something unexpected happens, and they are forced together, and when the truth comes out, there will be some walls this couple will have to climb, in order to find the happiness they are both aching for in each other....One Night With You is a single title by Sophie Jordan. I have fallen in love with this author, and each time I read her I am amazed on her storytelling capabilities and how they completely draw me in. This story is a fairy tale based romance. It definitely has a Cinderella theme quite strongly in the story. Jane is Cinderella, and Seth is the prince. Jane is living a life that a servant normally lives, without being paid only with her husbands relations being "gracious" enough to provide a roof over her head. There is one man she loves and craves even after all of these years, Seth Rutledge. Seth once loved her sister, but she broke his heart, and he has never been the same. But when Jane enters his life, his world comes crumbling when he finds himself in love with two women, not knowing they are the same person. One Night With You is the perfect title for this story. We see how these two keep coming together for one night, not knowing if they would see each other after the night was over. The only major conflict really is this huge secret that Jane is keeping from Seth, not revealing who she truly is. There is also a sub plot romance with Seth's sister. It was fun seeing these two come together and I couldn't have pictured Seth learning the truth any better. Quite the creative genius is Sophie Jordan.There is quite a bit to enjoy in One Night With You. Jordan has created a beautifully crafted romance of a couple that need each other more than neither see. A fairy tale romance that is guaranteed to steal your heart, and keep you enraptured all the way through. Get ready for a romance that will make you cry and bring out various emotional responses from the reader! TOTALLY STUNNING!!!
    • 2/5
      One Night with You had a pretty good premise. We have Jane, our heroine, who's a widow living under the thumb of her awful in-laws but manages to have a steamy encounter with the hero at a ball. This hero, Seth, happens to be the one man she's loved since her childhood even though he was infatuated with and soon discarded by her younger sister. Complications arise from that encounter that compel the two to marry, even though the hero refuses to fall under the power of another woman such as the heroine.

      A good premise can go a long way; without it, I might have abandoned this book early on. Although the story isn't bad, I found the execution of the great setup disappointing. I kept waiting for the story to kick in, but readers are forced to suffer too long in witnessing page after page of Jane's unbearable living situation. Even when we finally get to move on, the story continues to feel as if it is just treading water, so to speak; and the likely reason for this feeling can be blamed on how the novel keeps strumming the same one note. There's no emotional growth arc, no deeper character development beyond Janes loves Seth, Seth refuses to love Jane; rinse and repeat. And then suddenly Seth decides that he can't lie to himself and declares that he loves Jane--such an artificial, unconvincing change given that we never saw any growth in the characters.

      I was so taken in by this story that I read it in one day and forgot to watch my favorite HBO show Game of Thrones! This is a sweet historical romance that has you pulling for the main characters all the way. In true romance fashion, there is the push and pull of attraction, some sort of obstacle that gets in their way, someone doesn't want to admit feelings, but in the end, it turns out pretty awesome.What I liked about this book was pretty much everything as a historical romance fan. The characters are all their own individual people, well rounded, and add to the story. The friends are true supporters, the villain is a nasty one that you will love to see get his comeuppance, the love interests are based on more than just attraction, and the piece that brings the two together is a welcome and realistic possibility that I've wondered why hasn't happened more in a historical romance. The pacing was flawless, the love scenes well done, not crass, and I felt the emotions of Jane and Seth as they battled their way to each other. I invested in these characters and truly wanted to know how things would end.Previous to this book, I was only familiar with Sophie Jordan's YA book, Firelight. I am glad that someone brought my attention to her historical romance books as well.
