About this listen

If you wanted only one night, would you take a chance on a man who wanted forever?

Rose O'Brian wants to spice up her love life, and Jack Winston seems like the answer. Sexy, funny, and with a killer smile, Jack is every woman's fantasy. All she wants is one night of passion, nothing more. But Jack has a secret that stops him from taking her up on her offer, stops him from having the one thing he wants more than his next breath - beautiful Rose O'Brian. Rose has her own secrets. Emotionally scared, she's never believed in happily ever afters. But for the first time she's met a man who makes her want to open her heart, to dream of love. When Rose's past rears its ugly head, can she finally let go and overcome the hurt? Can Jack convince her to take a chance and embrace a future with him? Can he show her that love is there if she will only reach out and take it?

The first in the Harper Falls series, the story of Rose O'Brian - multi Grammy winning songwriter, and Jack Winston - former bodyguard and current multi millionaire computer whizz. Both looking for different things. Rose wants one night - Jack wants more; but due to a drunken bet he has to wait anyway...

In this instance I seemed to connect more with the male mc than the female mc. I couldn't warm to Rose, she just seemed a bit...naive on the whole. Jack on the other hand was a true gentleman throughout and I'd have liked a bit more from his POV.

Some of the scenes in the story felt like filler and I don't think added much to it. I really liked the scene setting though, Williams did a great job of putting a picture in my head and helping me imagine Harper Falls as a place I'd love to visit!

This was my first book by Mary J Williams but I would still like to read the rest of the books in this series.

AUDIO
I have to say I struggled quite a bit because it didn't seem like it was edited enough (can you do that with audiobooks?). At points the narrator was repeating herself, sort of like she realised her expression wasn't right so decided to say the sentence again. And there didn't seem to be much pausing between characters/chapters which confused me.
