I wish that One Night Stand-In had lived up to my extremely high expectations. Unfortunately, Lola was a little lacklustre. She's so sassy, opinionated and sensual in the previous instalments, that I just expected her to carry it through to her own. While there was initially a little sass, it soon led to a much more vulnerable and I would even go so far as to say, timid, Lola. Sure, she could strip off her clothes like the sexiest woman around, but in the end, she didn't 'own it' enough to demand what she really wanted.
I know, I'm harsh. It's just that I expected her confidence, originality and ambition to jump off the pages. It just didn't.
I liked Lucas and thought he was a pretty great bloke.
I didn't like that Lucas and Lola enabled their siblings. By the age of 25, those two should have been completely self-sufficient and they just weren't.
It was a Lauren Blakely so it was still pretty damn good, just not what I was expecting. I will definitely be reading/listening to more of this authors work in the future. It's just so easy to do.
