Eileen Aberman-Wells
One Night Expectations by LaQuette, book three in the Devereaux series has it share of family drama, and two very strong-minded characters. Amara Devereaux-Rodriguez loves her grandfather but believes he fails to recognize her abilities in the family company. After a difficult day at work and needing a drink, she doesn’t expect to run into mayoral candidate Lennox Carlisle, the one person her grandfather wants her to stay away from. Unfortunately, a one-night stand turns into the kind of trouble she was not anticipating; trouble that changes the lives of both Amara and Lennox. This led to a mix of drama, putting on a ring on Amara’s finger, getting married, and angst between these two. Amara and Lennox might be faking a relationship while married but being together just might lead to growing stronger feelings for each other. This is a smart, steamy, emotional romance. I enjoyed seeing these powerful characters face off and force each other to confront their vulnerabilities. Amara's relationship with her family added depth to the story. This enjoyable story kept my attention from beginning to end. I highly recommend One Night Expectations to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Lennox can't afford a scandal this close to election day. Is marriage the solution? This is a smart, steamy, emotional romance. I enjoyed seeing these powerful characters face off and force each other to confront their vulnerabilities. Amara's relationship with her family added depth to the story.
