A review by ireadlikeaboss
Just One Night by Lauren Layne
3.0
Lauren Layne's Sex, Love, and Stilettos series continues in this fun, sexy romance. Like its two predecessors, JUST ONE NIGHT helps Stiletto's popular columnists find love. But unlike Julie and Grace, who met their guys through their assignments, there's only ever been one guy for Riley.
Sam Compton has starred in Riley's dreams since her teenage years. Riley is sent into a frenzy when her new assignment is write something more personal, which sounds easy. But it's not so easy when what you've been writing in Stiletto has been a lie.
I liked seeing Riley slowly reveal the real Riley, especially through her interactions with Sam. Everyone has a certain perception of Riley as this uninhibited sex kitten. I was quite surprised to find out what deep dark secret Riley was hiding from everyone in her life! It definitely added an interesting and unexpected twist to this love story.
Riley's brother is Sam's best friend, and years ago he made a promise not to go near his little sister. He's been able to keep that promise, but Riley's proposition to be featured in her latest article just may force him to break that promise. I was certainly the devil on his shoulder shouting, "Break the promise! Break the promise!" The whole "I can't touch her because she's my friend's sister" thing is a little overdone and I wish there had been something more keeping them apart all these years.
This book certainly fit the "fun and light" vibe that I've been reading for most of the year. What I liked the most was watching Sam and Riley fall for each other while trying to deny what they were feeling. But this one didn't elicit a strong emotional reaction that I was hoping. It felt slow in several parts and the ending was anti-climactic.
* I borrowed this book from my local library.

Sam Compton already knew what would kill him one day: Riley McKenna.
Or more precisely, it was keeping his hands off Riley McKenna that would kill him.
Because a heterosexual man didn’t spend a decade in the company of a woman who looked like Riley without touching her.
Not unless he wanted to die a slow, torturous death by sexual frustration.
