JUST ONE NIGHT by Kyra Davis

Just One Night, Part 1: The Stranger by Kyra Davis
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

NetGalley free read...

First let me say that I love Kyra's Sophie Katz character. Those books are hilarious to me and I love reading them.

I understand Kasie's one night stand. I even understand her hesitance in causing her family pain, as it seems her sister did. What I don't understand in letting Dave dictate her life. It's no life living it with no passion and wonder. It may not turn out the way you think it should but I thoroughly believe in going for it. The fact that she and see even a little bit of the wonder of life, love and happiness with Robert Dade, should give her the courage to move forward with her own life.

The only smart thing Kasie seemed to have right was when she didn't want to jump out of a relationship with Dave and right into a relationship with Robert. Robert haven't eve indicated that what they would have would be more than the sex they were having, but the way she was growing should be enough for her to want to not have the boring existence she had before.

I didn't love this story. It seemed to familiar to the others of this genre. I recently read another NetGalley Read, entitled Three Stages of Lust and the book ended on a similar type of cliffhanger. Where the two have broken it off due to the woman, her tether to societal norms and expectations, only to have you wondering if the man will fight for her, she will somehow get the courage to be honest and tell him what's going on.

I'm not sure this is something that I like. I like s certain amount of the unknown and the need, but I hate the fact that each of these women lets outside factors influence what they chose to do. Their own happiness doesn't matter or they don't believe they deserve it. It just bugs me.

Just One Night, in and of itself was a very quick read. It lacked a full arch for me. i.e. Why does Dave want to get married all of a sudden? I mean six years is a long time to all of sudden decide he has to to get married. And what is he hiding that Kasie is just now picking up on? Also, why didn't she tell Robert what was going on instead of just walking away?

Just as Dave could tell his godfather what was going on and Kasie lose her career, she could also lose the account from walking out on Robert and still lose her career. There was just too much unanswered for me about her motivations, Robert's motivations, as I never got from reading this story that he even wanted more from her, and then there are Dave's motivations that i've mentioned earlier.

Just not enough in this story for me.
