Review: One Night Only

One Night Only by Catherine Walsh
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Sarah Anderson is a young architect in New York, after a brutal break up with her ex, Josh, she's become a love 'em and leave 'em one-night stand artist. Imagine her horror when her latest one-night stand turns out to be the best man at her BFF Annie's wedding in Ireland, where Sarah is the maid of honour. What's worse, the groom's mother is trying to set her up with the best man, her son Declan!

I loved the sound of this, who doesn't like the idea of being stuck at a destination wedding with your last one-night stand when you barely know anyone else other than the bride and groom?

Unfortunately, this started to wane around the halfway mark, first it just dragged. Second, Sarah had that irritating habit of not believing what she was told, whether it was Declan or her friends saying he was smitten with her, she just didn't believe it. Third, Declan was a bit of a tool TBH. (view spoiler)[Allegedly he has seen Sarah several times at the bar which he runs and really liked her but he always lets/makes her make the first move and is very quick to detonate the relationship at the first sign of Sarah wavering. (hide spoiler)] Fourth, there were just too many tropes for one book to carry single-handedly.
