I love when anthologies all revolve around interlocking characters or some central theme. For this contemporary romance anthology, all 5 of the stories take place in the same night at the same Irish Pub in Boston. There is this mysterious old man that shows up in each story and the characters interlock with each other in some way. One story is about the cook of the Irish Pub, one is about a waitress and a singer that they have performing regularly for them, two are about brothers from the family that own the pub, and two have regular customers in them. It was really nice to see bits and pieces from the other stories as you were reading each of the new ones. As I got to some of the later stories, I was looking out for the scenes where the earlier stories took place. It was fun.
One lucky night is a great book for when you are looking for a quick and happy pick me up. I started out reading the first three stories one at a time, each in between a full length novel that I had read. I thought it would be nice to insert some quick sexy fun between each of my longer books. But by the third one, I had gotten impatient and I was having much too much fun seeing how all the stories fit together to stick to my self imposed rule of reading the stories one at a time. I gobbled up the rest of the book in one reading.
I don't even know which of the stories I like the best. They are all really great. I enjoyed Charlotte's story, as well as Holly's. Oh, but I can't forget about the brothers Sean and Killian. They were great as well. Plus Killian's story came last and by the end of the book, I was dying to see why he was in a kilt the whole night. All of the earlier stories alluded to some sort of bet, and I couldn't wait to see what it was.
If you are looking for quick, Sexy fun, One Lucky Night does not disappoint. This is my second or third book that I have read by some of these authors and I love their anthologies. They always do the same overlapping story lines, and that is my favorite way to read an anthology. It reminds me of that movie, Love, Actually. Where all of the story lines intertwine. And these authors have it down to an art. One Lucky Night is tons of fun.
