One Wild Night

This is the third book in the One and Only Texas series but can easily be read standalone. I must say these is definitely my least favorite of the series so far. Gentry and Skye just didn't click for me the way the other couples have. I know the whole opposites attract thing and usually I can see how the couple can compromise and make it work. These two are just too different. He's a big time country singer. She's happily a small town girl looking for a guy to settle down with. What was suppose to be "One Wild Night" turns into much more which neither character seems to handle well. Unfortunately this one never rings true for me.

I really enjoyed seeing Gentry find his way. He's lost himself over the years as he's fallen into being the bad boy of country music, but it's just not him anymore (if it every really was all that much). While struggling to find himself in his music again he's roped into playing at a wedding where he meets Skye. And things just click ... in all sorts of ways! Skye is also struggling between being the girl she thinks she should be and the freedom that her heart craves. It's not easy for her and a sexy man in boots is temptation she isn't looking for. While I liked Skye OK and I understood where her conflicts came from, it really was Gentry that held me. And it definitely was entertaining seeing him convince Skye to walk on the wild side :) Oh, I should warn everyone that they do put the wild in One Wild Night so those who like their love stories a little tamer might want to skip this one. But if you are up for some spice then come join Skye and Gentry as they find themselves, each other, and a HEA that works for all their miscellaneous sides. (While this is part of a series, it can easily stand on its own. It's my first full length book by Cutler and I had no problem keeping up.) *** I voluntarily read a Review Copy of this book.

Skye Martinez longed for the days of her early 20's where she was wild and carefree. Now approaching 30 she is trying to settle down, take over the family's cleaning business, find a good Catholic man to marry and start a family. When Skye becomes overwhelmed at work at the Briscoe Ranch Resort, she decides she needs a break and wants to go for a horse ride in the dark the think. What she doesn't expect is to find a gorgeous, sexy man in the horse barn. Gentry Wells is a big time country star who is staying at the ranch for his music producers daughter's wedding where he is to perform. Gentry's last album tanked and he has one last chance to make a great album. Wanting to escape from the crowds, Gentry heads to barn...a place he always feels at peace. When Skye and Gentry first see each other it's fireworks! They are both attracted to each other. Skye loves his bad boy vibes and he loves that she doesn't know who he is. Skye convinces Gentry to go out for a late night horse ride and that's when the magic starts. The next day when Skye and Gentry are stealing some moments together they find Natalie and her fiance, Toby all upset. It seems the couple didn't want this big production wedding that their parents forcing on them. Together with Skye and Gentry they hatch a plan for the couple to elope off to Nashville. Skye's having a great time being fun and carefree with Gentry, especially when he convinces her to come to Nashville with Natalie and Toby for one last fun and wild weekend before she has to be serious and settle down. I just loved the wedding at the Dolly Parton chapel! Too funny! After the wedding, Gentry shows Skye a great time in Nashville. It was a blast all what they did. These two really were combustible! But, all good things must come to end and they both needed to get back to their real lives. What neither of them expected was that they just couldn't get the other too far removed from their every thought. After some great soul searching, and even some craziness from her mom's love spell, these two finally find their way back to each other. Of course just when things are going great....BAM!...disaster strikes. It was a long road for these two to finally get to their happy ending but it was really worth the trip. I just adored these two characters. They both had a fun, wild side that needed to be found every now and then and then together they found the life that they both really wanted.
