One Stormy Night
Alexis Joplin, popular host of the travel show, Overnight Stays, is embarking on her final scouting expedition with her partner and best friend, Shane Fowler. Over the course of the last two years, the duo has grown closer not only at work, but outside of the job. While their friends and co-workers may whisper that something more than friendship is the source of their mutual admiration, they deny it even as their personal feelings are reaching a critical apex.
Shrouded in the dark beauty of a hundred year old inn, while lightning flashes and thunder rumbles, neither Alexis nor Shane can hold on to the pretense any longer. They give in to one night of passion with the promise that in the morning, they’ll awake as friends.
But is it a promise they both can keep?

This is a sweet and heart-warming story of two people who are in love with each other yet don’t seem to admit it.
The story is a breath of fresh air and just the right length to read as a break in between longer novels or as a refresher and change of taste from hardcore to more serious novels.
The only problem is not with the story itself and not with poor writing but with the editing. The editing is poorly done and I had to reread certain pages and areas over again; it is difficult to ignore obvious errors that are blatantly overlooked.
For a publishing house editorial person to disrespect an author by not giving them 100% of their editorial attention even though the book is a novella is sad.
Even though the editing botch is annoying, the storyline isn’t and I would read this again as my refresher novella.

3.5 Stars!
One Stormy Night is a short, fun friends-to-lovers story. Shane and Alexis co-host Overnight Stays, a tv show showcasing bed & breakfasts and other inns. After two years of success, they are doing their last location shoot as Shane has accepted a job in another city. Best friends at a very romantic inn, with the thought of losing each other, leads to a fun, sexy, revealing stay.
I enjoyed this story and highly recommend for fans of the friends-to-lovers troupe.
