A review by sarahsbooklife
One Night of Temptation by Darcy Burke

4.0

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own.

This book started off with a bang. With Lady Penelope about to go through with her plan of running away for a night and pretending to be kidnapped. Which I didn’t really expect but I thought it was a great introduction to this character. It said so much about Penelope and I was instantly curious as to why.

I loved that a big part of the book was just Penelope and Hugh talking in an inn, and hiding Penelope away from anyone that might tell her family where she was, getting to know each other. I really loved this because as they both got know each other I also got to know them which I thought was great.

The short amount of time that this story is set over made it feel very much like a whirlwind romance. They develop feelings for each other over night. They end up having to share a room and a bed, and developed into a steamy moment in the morning (until they were interrupted ☹). Their relationship I really enjoyed reading about and I felt like the two of them got to know each other pretty well. I also loved the mutual pinning.

I thought that this was a great end to the series and I really loved that it involved more of other characters from other books in the series. Such as Eastliegh and Colehaven helping Hugh. I felt like it tied up the series very nicely and also showed what happened with main characters of the past 5 books.
