A sweet, fun, and sexy stand-alone romance from New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig.
One night to remember
Is that too much to desire?
One night for fun, passion, and a chance to remember what it’s like to be a woman.
I’m not looking for love.
There’s a man in my life who loves me with all his heart. He has beautiful blue eyes, is three feet tall, and calls me mommy.
He’s my whole world and I’m his. Fate stole his daddy way too soon.
What would happen if I allowed fate another chance, just for one night?
One night to help a friend
Why did I agree to this?
Blind dates are disasters. If I weren't helping the friend of a friend, I wouldn't go.
I’m not looking for romance, love, or even a one-night stand.
After all, the man my friend knew is gone. I’m no longer the hockey star known for his "pep" on the ice and in the sack. I have a new life, and a new career—a new passion. I’m not looking for more.
When the blind date is a bust, could fate change everything?
One night doesn’t end with a kiss—it begins with one.
Be ready to laugh, cry, and fall head over heels as you meet Leatha, the lighter side of Aleatha in this new sweet and sexy stand-alone romance, ONE NIGHT.

Review
4.5 Stars
I love my romances dark, suspenseful, and filled with angst. Sometimes though, I just want a book that makes my stomach have butterflies and has me believing that easy, breezy sort of love does exist. One Night is exactly that; Aleatha Romig had me believing that chance meetings with the perfect man are possible, that love is only a cancelled blind date away. Mandy is a widow who has been out of the dating game for years, her world revolves around her son, but she knows it would be nice to enjoy life with someone more her age by her side. She's head-strong, protective, caring, and unaware of her natural beauty. Like most moms, her focus has been on anyone but herself. Malcolm "Pep" is a handsome hockey wonder with a sweet side. His player games are behind him, he's like a whole new person, and the girl he wants to share that with is Mandy. Too bad all that is between them is one night, a lot of smutty chemistry, and secrets.
I really enjoyed Aleatha Romig's take on a one night stand. Their connection isn't forced, beyond lust, and while it seems like it might be insta-love, it doesn't read that way. Mandy and Malcolm take the time to develop a true connection between them. Of course, it's a lot easier than most relationships thanks to a man so amazing and without the added drama of the past. Things between them are surface level, but as they build their trust they introduce the important things. I thought it was fun to read about their rendezvous' and their sneaking around, it was cute and lighthearted. I ultimately cheered them on, to see them develop into something more, and I wasn't let down.
"This is dangerous.
This is sexy.
This is stupid.
This is erotic.
I will admit that Malcolm being that perfect is a bit of a stretch. The plausibility that One Night would happen in real life just seems impossible, but that's what sweet romance is for. We want the romance with the hockey star who does everything just right, we want our role as a single mother to be respected, and we want our friends and family to help make everything work out just so. It doesn't usually work that way, real life has bumps, but we all can dream.
"For only a moment, I allow myself the small fantasy of expectancy."
If you're looking for a sweet and smutty read, One Night by Aleatha's lighter side, Leatha Romig, is perfect for you. It's an easy read with fantastic characters and Aleatha's writing is excellent.
