Wow, this is a powerful book not only because of the subject matter but the emotions.
We meet Hayden in the last book and you already feel for the guy he lost his sister in a tragic way. His best friend and him were just not good for each other they feed off each other’s misery.
So when we meet Hayden in this book he is healing from his suicide attempt. And that in and of itself is amazing, esp how far he has come in only a year.
We meet Vi Harris a short snip in the last book as well, but this book we really get to meet her and see what she is all about. I love that she is like the “mom” to her 4 burly brothers. She doesn’t take no poop from any of them! I flove this!
But she is insecure in her own life; she needs just as much love and reassurance as Hayden.
Watching or listening or reading however you want to put it these two come together and see how they heal each other is pretty great. One of my favorite book listens of the year.
And can we just take a moment and with these narrators.. OMG swoon accents!! Yes I said it your all thinking it. :-p
Also can I just say I want to move into Vi’s flat! It sounds amazing!!

Awe I knew i'd love Vi & Hayden's story. I loved seeing Hayden heal and Vi get him there. I can totally see why the Harris brothers needed a series after this book. I loved Garreth in this book so much too. This group of friends was so fun and close it just made my heart happy. I'm sad my Amy Daws binge is over and I'll be patiently waiting for more.
The narration was perfect, these two duet like no other!

Amy Daws is another author that I pretty much am going to almost always give a 5 star rating to. All of her books have so much romance and emotion, and again, the humor that I love so much in a romance, or any story to be honest. This one totally got me because Hayden had his niece to help him whenever he felt suicidal, she was his reason to live at times, and there have been times when I've thought that way about my own niece when I get to where I feel like things are not worth going on for. And then, well, I kind of read out of order, because I read and loved the books about all the Harris brothers, Challenge, Endurance, and Keeper, and wanted to know Vi's story, but didn't realize this was her book, and that I needed to read it. It was fun to read after I'd read the others though, because I really could enjoy her brothers this way as they appeared in Vi's story. And of course I'd been eager for Hayden's story too, after I'd read the book before this, Not the One, where he'd had his suicide attempt. I wanted to see him get his HEA. If you haven't tried an Amy Daws book yet, you need to!

It's always been my dream to go to England since I can remember...
I love everything about that place: the food, the music, the slang, the hot guys, the accents, the hot guys with accents.
When I heard about this book that took place in England with British characters I HAD to read it. If I didn't know beforehand I would've actually guessed that the author was British herself based on her writing.
I loved broken Hayden and always there for him Vilma. Watching Hayden move past his demons with the help of Vilma go through it all was amazing. I loved Hayden's brother and future sister-in-law along with their ADORABLE baby. Hayden had a magical touch when the little one was around to instantly soothe her. Total swoon worthy! Vilma's brothers were a hoot! I loved whenever they were in a scene. I would've loved to have seen more of them. I'm so happy to know that they will be getting their own stories. I am looking forward to that! Despite those great characters I unfortunately didn't connect with Hayden's friends. Maybe because I haven't read any of the previous book with them in it to know more of their stories. I am going to try to read those as well.
This book was told in first person through the hero and heroine's POV.

I was lucky enough to get an ARC.
Where do I even begin? Well, I was crying at 12% into the book. This is one of the most emotionally charged books I have read in a long time. Hayden's personal struggles are so real and so deep, you feel yourself being drawn into his world. And Vi, sweet Vi, love this girl. This book has left me speechless. The way Amy Daws handled this subject matter astounds me. This book is truly truly amazing.

ARC received for an honest review
^^ That there was me pretty much from the beginning of The One Moment. What we got of Hayden's story in Not The One hurt my heart, but now that we have his whole story, well I was an emotional wreck.
There are so many things in That One Moment that I can relate to. I have had those thoughts. I have done those things. I have felt the helplessness that Hayden feels in his journey.
Yes, there were plenty of tears. But they were not all sad tears. There were sad tears, heartbreaking tears, but happy years, and tears of hope. Hope is a big emotion that I felt whilst reading.
I loved Hayden and Vi together. The one who thinks they are unlovable and the one who thinks they can't give love. They are each others hope, their salvation. That one in a million that we all search for.
Their story is not just 'that one moment' - it is full of little moments that can seem insignificant, but make them whole.
I loved the banter with Vi's brothers. I don't know how she put up with their interference, it would drive me batty. But I could feel the love they all have for each other.
So while for most of the story Ms Daws made me feel like this
she made my heart lift, made me smile, made everything I felt in my times when I was going through issues like Hayden's feel more normal.
Thank you Ms Daws for tackling such a taboo kind of subject with such empathy.
This is by far Ms Daws best book in this series (and that is saying a lot as I have LOVED each and every one of them so far!)
I can't wait to see what she brings us next.

I finally, finally got to Vi and Haydens book! As I started reading Amy with the Harris Brothers series when Challenge was first released, I have continuously been hearing about Vi and Haydens book and how I need to go back and read the London Lovers series. If you have been following my posts, you will already know that over the last week or so, I have been on a London Lovers binge, finally getting around to reading all these books.
Vi and Hayden are probably one of my favourite couples in this series, because their book was so easy for me to devour. I think a lot of that stems from the fact that I already loved them from the Harris Brothers series.
Whilst I know a lot of readers love Hayden so, and yes I did too, I think for me, Vi was my more anchoring and favourite character in this book. I don't want to take away from Hayden or his serious and intense journey, because lets face it, thats what it is, and his struggles are real. And I don't look at that lightly, not at all.
But for me, getting to know Vi more, and getting the boys in this story a fair bit as well, well, it honestly just feels like coming home to me. And that probably stems from the fact that I started with the boys series rather than this one. Vi is fierce and strong and her brothers are damn adorable as we already know, but at the same time she has her own hang ups, which for me were quite easy to relate to.
I loved everything about this story, getting to know Hayden and Vi both, and understand Hayden a lot more. This book certainly transformed my opinion of him, because I was not a fan after the last couple of books. I loved how he and Vi just work together, and the little details they share with each other. And who can forget our glimpses of the rest of the LL cast? Especially Lezbo, Theo and Marisa. Oh, and the end of the book? Perfect! Loved it. Another great one from Amy.

I listened to the audiobook and the narrators did an awesome job. I LOVE the duet narration style. I read Ms. Daws Harris brothers series first so I'm going backwards but I was very interested to read the story between Vi and Hayden. I really enjoyed the H/h and the secondary characters, the story was good and kept me interested. I will be reading more from Ms. Daws.

Oh.my.gosh! This book made me a blubbering mess but also made me smile bigger than I ever have before!
Vi and Hayden’s story is one enveloped in darkness, vulnerability, loss, and so much love. To see two halves of a whole come together. To see two halves make each other complete, to be each other’s twin flames is such a beautiful sight to behold.
This is the type of story that reminds you that life isn’t perfect, that there are things that will try and maybe even succeed in bringing you down and drape you in darkness. But there is also always a light somewhere that can rise you up and remind you that life is worth living. That without the bad there is no good. That without darkness there is no light. That no matter how much you feel like giving up there is always something that will keep you living and whole.
This story was outstandingly beautiful and raw. The vulnerability, the emotion, the heart-aching loss and love was an epic sight to behold.
And outstanding 5 stars to Amy Daws. If I could give infinite stars I would.

That One Moment by Amy Daws is about Hayden and Vi. Hayden is recovering from an attempted suicide and the everlasting effects of depression from life events. Vi is just trying to get a life without her over protective, and famous, brothers ruining everything.
Many things have happened to Hayden that have brought him to his knees. The death of a beloved sister and his feelings about that death cause him to spin out of control. He doesn’t know what to do with his feelings. After bumping into each other, Hayden and Vi have an instant attraction but both decide to let it go. Hayden believes he is no in a place for a relationship and Vi just got out of a relationship with a cheating boyfriend. Her brothers didn’t help her guy situation while she was living at home so Vi made a choice for herself and moved out on her own. She is happy in her own place while still being able to see her father and brothers.
Hayden and Vi spend the two weeks after their first “meeting” dreaming about the other. They soon discover that they have a mutual friend in Leslie and Theo. At a charity function, Vi and Hayden acknowledge their attraction and begin talking.
Hayden is a deep feeling person, who has yet to control those feelings and emotions. He soon discovers that “Being angry or sad or upset doesn’t feel like the end when you have that one person in your life who wants to love you through it.”
Vi is a strong woman, especially when it comes to standing up to her brothers. She is a loving caring person. She really is a great friend to have.
“This is your journey and I can’t walk it for you…but I hope you know you don’t have to fight alone.”
Learning to love is the common theme in this book and the self discovery of the characters make this book one I will recommend. While this is book 2 in the series, it is able to be read as a standalone. I did not read book one (yet) and also hope that Vi’s brothers, all four of them, get their own stories!! What fun that would be! 4 stars for this awesome story!
