My Review:
It's no secret that I'm a big fan of Julia London! I devour everything she writes. She has a way of telling a story that just grabs your attention. In fact the very first review I ever did on this blog was of the second story in this anthology, The Bridesmaid!
Julia London puts these couples in crazy situations and somehow they turn out to be magical!
In One Mad Night, Chelsea and Ian fight there way to a beautiful romance! Two very successful advertising execs competing for one account and for the promotion to partner, they get snowed in at the office the night before the big presentation.
Chelsea is slightly uptight and very career focused. She's been promised accounts before and been let down but she's been guaranteed by her boss that this one is hers, but little does she know, so has Ian. Ian is a laid-back, chill kind of guy. They are both excellent at their jobs, but their ideas are the complete opposite of each others. As the heat turns up and they get trapped in the empty office by a "snowpocalypse", they spend the night getting to know each other. What will win out? The job or an chance at a love?
For a novella, the characters have a surprising amount of depth. Flirty, fun and sensual this book was impossible to put down. I would highly reccomend this to anyone looking for a fun novella. Be sure to check out my review of The Bridesmaid!
