I couldn't contain my excitement when I learned we were getting Claire and Kingston's story. We met the pair in Carrie Ann Ryan's 'His Second Chance'. In that story, Clarie and Kingston were the friends of the main characters, Phoebe and Kane, all of whom met when encountering a bear while out on a hiking trip. At the end of that book, Claire and Phoebe had been brutally attacked. As co-owners of a security agency, Kane and Kingston had felt incredible guilt over the fact that they hadn't been able to prevent the girl's serious injury.
Claire Harlow had been stabbed numerous times. She no longer felt safe. She believed she was unable to live a normal life. Because of this, she began pushing away her close friend Kingston Montgomery. Kingston believes that Claire is pushing him away because he failed to save her, but, he refuses to let her walk away. Unbeknownst to each one another, the pair have harbored secret feelings since the day they had met. Neither wanted to act on those feelings and potentionally ruin a wonderful friendship. When the Montgomery cousins planned a weekend get away, Claire and Kingston are the only two to make it to the cabin before a snowstorm hits the pass and forces the others to turn away. With the help of lots of alcohol, the duo lose their inhibitions, and things evolve with their relationship.
Having grown up in a family with two dads and a mom, Kingston truly understands what it takes to make a relationship work through the good times and the bad. It is one of the reasons I think he fought so hard and never gave up on Claire. Claire is such a highly motivated individual. With her business she is constantly on the go; just reading about her daily schedule was exhausting to me but her perseverance is why she never gives up. The chemistry between this couple was off the charts and the scenes at the cabin were beyond steamy. I loved this perfect story for this perfect couple.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
'One Night With You releases November 18, 2024.
