One Night Only

Zoe went to Chicago for college to escape a controlling father and 4 older brothers. When she returns after breaking her engagement, she goes to work at the family law firm. When she lets loose one night and has a one night stand with a handsome stranger, she finds out he's the new attorney at the family firm, Mitch. Even though he plans on moving on after some world experience, he can't deny the attraction between him and Zoe. These characters are well written, compelling, the book is full of sizzle, steam, drama, and more. I received an ARC from Booksprout and this is my honest review.

When Zoe Albright left Wichita to go to college in Chicago, she was running from her overly controlling family. She did not see her parents and siblings until she left Chicago after breaking her engagement. Now back in her parent's home, she gets a job as a receptionist at he father's law firm. Her father and brothers stage an intervention and tell her she is enrolling in paralegal school. Zoe decides she needs a night where she is in control and goes to a local bar looking to hook up. Mitchum Caldwell interned in the same law firm as her brother Heath. After graduation he moves to Wichita to take a position in the Albrights law firm. On his first night in town he goes to a bar for a drink and ends up picking up Zoe. Neither is interested in anything but hooking up. The next day he discovers her father is his boss and she becomes his secretary. They agree to hooking up outside of work but no emotions. They become friends and end up catching feelings for each other. They have a lot of personal baggage to work through but get their HEA in the end.

4.25 ⭐ Zoe & Mitch meet at a bar one night. They agree to have one night only with "no emotions, no attachments" and to never see each other again. Flash forward to the next day and guess who now works together. Also, guess who can't stop thinking about each other. Zoe has recently returned to Wichita after leaving home 4 years prior. As the only daughter and youngest child of Christian Albright, Zoe has never been able to live her life the way she wants. She's always been under her controlling fathers thumb ~ which infuriates me. Her father and 4 brothers really bugged me until the very end ~ they were quite maddening. Mitch has recently moved to Wichita for a new job as a lawyer at the Albright law firm. He doesn't plan on sticking around for too long, or letting anyone in his life. He has a little bit of a sad secret that takes us a long time to find out what it is. Chapter 19 actually gave me some chills. I really liked Zoe and Mitch ~ they were both well written characters and really had a fun time together. Although I didn't care for the 4 brothers for most of the book, I wouldn't mind if this was turned into a series following their love lives. And I'll, also, need Z & M to make cameos to see how they're doing. Hint, hint ~ Lynn Stevens Side note ~ How come Zoe just answers the phone without looking at the caller id? She did it multiple times. That’s just crazy talk. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
