I adored One Night for Love from the very beginning. Lily is no lady. She is the sweet and innocent daughter of Neville's late Captain. She was raised in the military and given freedom to be herself. She knows nothing of the ton or etiquette. She can't even read or write. Lily doesn't let this stop her from living life to the fullest though. Even after her time as a hostage with an awful man. She's like a breath of fresh air for those who accept her. Of course, Neville's mother and other family members aren't too happy with her appearance which makes Lily resuming her marriage very difficult.
One Night for Love is a second chance romance, and one that was done very well. There are flashbacks of Neville and Lily's short time together. But the focus is on them getting to know each other again. Neville wants nothing more than for Lily to be his wife as she is, but she's uncomfortable in this world. I loved watching Lily work hard to improve herself for herself! Not for Neville, not for his judgemental mother, and not for his very accepting spinster aunt. Lily knows there are experiences that she missed out on during her unconventional upbringing, and she's eager to have them now. If that makes her a more suitable bride for the love of her life, that's just a bonus.
One Night for Love just made me very happy. Neville and Lily are so in love, even though they are so different. There is also a small, light suspense plot. Someone is very unhappy about Lily's return and is trying to kill her! It's mostly in the background and is solved and dealt with in one page, but it was still enjoyable. Especially since it had a happy ending.
