Review: That One Night

 


Title: That One Night

Series: Jacksonville Rays 

Author: Emily Rath

Release Date: January 2023



My name is Rachel Price, and the sky is officially falling. Imagine being at your brother's wedding brunch when you get an email that crushes all your dreams. I didn't win the Barkley Fellowship. My rising career in sports medicine has just come crashing down. So here I sit, alone in this swanky hotel bar, ready to drown my feelings in bitters and bourbon. Then suddenly, in walks...



So, this is the first book I have read by Emily Rath. It's a prequel novella to set up the story in Pucking Around. 

Rachel gets bad news, and just wants to be left alone. That is until a star athlete walks in the bar, saving her from a guy who couldn't take no for an answer. 

They decide, one night, no names before going their seperate ways. But in just the short time they know each other, feelings start to present themselves. Will one night be enough? 

I'm not a huge sports romance fan, but I was intrigued by pucking around, so I figured I'd give this a try. I went in blind- not knowing what to expect, just hoping for something to pull me out of my book funk. I'm all for insta-lust, but insta-love isn't normally my thing. They didn't utter the word, but the feelings were there, so I wouldn't doubt it. 

I just don't think I'm in the mood to currently continue with these books, yet so I will be looking for something new to try & hold my attention but come back to these books later.

If you enjoy sports romances, & insta-love this may just be for you. It's a quick, steamy read & I enjoyed it.

 3.5 ⭐ out of 5⭐. Maybe it's just me & my current mood, but I wasn't emersed in this story like I hoped to be. 

2🌶️ out of 5🌶️. - a couple scenes with some details. 

Tropes: 

→ contemporary romance 

→ sports romance 

→ hockey romance 

→ insta- lust 

→ one - night stand 

→ golden retriever H

→ novella

Weekly Newsletter: February 2

  Hope everyone has a good couple weeks. I know it says weekly Newsletter & I know I have been taking two weeks each time to put out one 😂😂 I *want* it to be every week, but January is just super crazy over here. - but we'll see once things settle down some if it will stay every other week or if I switch to every week or not 😂😂.  This week, I got my preorder of Onyx Storm in (bday present), and we did my daughter's 10th bday party- she did bowling & invited a ton of friends! She also had a field trip to go skiing earlier in the week too which she liked.  Also here are the vibes I bring to the function but truthfully I probably won't go to the function - I am an introvert & don't people very well 😂😂 but it was a fun challenge to do on IG & TT either way. Do we share anything in common?  What I Read This Week:  Title: Onyx Storm  Series: The Empyrean  Author: Rebecca Yarros Review | Goodreads | Purchase Quote: “I am yours and you ...

  So this past weekend my aunt passed away.  But on a more positive note, this was my daughter's last week of school.

We started rewatching Dexter, and watching season two of Perfect Match.  What I Read This Week:  Title: Leather & Lark Series: The Ruinous Love trilogy Author: Brynne Weaver   Release Date: June 04 So I love these characters, but this story had a lot of fluff, and at the end felt a little rushed. 4⭐ out of 5⭐.  See Full Review Here .  Title: Lights Out  Author: Navessa Allen   Rereleases August 06, 2024  I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties.
