True enemies to lovers

Exes and messes

This story was a hyperfocus on one night in Aggie's life, a really poignant night for her...the closure of her family's restaurant. This last hurrah for a close-knit team and family turned into a comedy of errors starting with the impending storm and becoming wild with the addition of her ex and his awful mother.

This was half comedy with brilliant dialogue and half serious realisation for both Aggie and her nemesis, the chef, Harrison. Sometimes enemies to more seems watered down to me but these two really brought the enemies vibe so well even though Harrison was masking a lot.

The found family in the restaurant in the form of Noah, Scout, Thomas and Willy were both unsavoury in a funny way and the best of champions. Devin (the ex) was a slimy, manipulating piece of garbage as was his mother. I loved how Harrison empowered Aggie.

These characters were so well layered, their past, present and hope for the future had my attention. Harrison felt a subtly complex person with good guy vibes and Aggie just never told anyone how she really felt. They were quite the combo and their chemistry was undeniable.

"This man isn't emotionally unavailable or closed off. He's private. He's intense but he knows how to communicate and listen."

One Last Night was the kind of read you binge through, reading with ease and chuckles. I had a ball.

Thank you Canelo for the eARC.
