Review: One Winter's Night

One Winter's Night by Brenda Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Alpha Blake a Veterinarian turned Event planner, left sunny Florida to move to Denver to escape her past. As an event planner, she meets with Riley Westmoreland to organize an event for the family company. Immediate attraction between the two, but both have this stimulation of getting involved with anyone. Riley has this rule that he only dates women for no more than six weeks and he is done. Talk about hit it and quit it; sex with no commitment. With his attraction to Alpha, he decides to make the proposition of a six-week affair. Alpha is all good with it, because she didn’t want a serious relationship. But during this affair, things become intense and heated and now Riley wants more, he wants Alpha and although Alpha feels the same, she won’t admit it, knowing this relationship is only going to last six weeks and they are done; Riley made that clear.

Alpha was very private about her family and found no need in discussing her past with Riley considering there was nothing serious about their relationship and if it was ending in six weeks, then why bother. Judgmental thinking of her sister Omega from her family and previous relationships were the root cause of her issues. Alpha loved her sister dearly and she wasn’t going to allow anyone or anything to come in between them. But, when Alpha thinks that old issues was about to repeat themselves, she decided to exit stage left which cause trust issues between Riley and Alpha. However, the love between the two couldn’t keep them apart. I enjoyed this book; it was a quick and enjoyable read. I give this book a 4 out of 5-star rating.
