Oh why, oh why, oh why did I bother?
I skimmed more than I actually read. It was uninspiring and lacked that something something to immerse me in this family rivalry type of romance. It was all too instant and too dull and boring for my liking. I'll probably forget I even read this by the end of the day.

What an interesting book loved the hero and heroine, Awesome friendships family drama, sizzling relationship, sparkled with a little intrigue
"For years, she had dreamed of Ajax Rawson telling her she was beautiful, making her blush. But that night he'd done so much more than that."
Veda Darnel, the one woman Ajax could not have. A long and bitter family feud between his father and Veda's ensured that the two of them had no business being together. But, when he kissed her, when he made love to her, the feud seemed irrelevant, stupid even.
Ajax Rawson was all kinds of wrong. He was renowned for his beautiful women, and it was well-known ...more
An addictive sizzler with a feisty and intelligent heroine and a drop dead gorgeous cowboy who will make readers swoon, Robyn Grady’s One Night with His Rival is a sensuous, poignant and emotional page-turner I devoured in a single decadent sitting.
The Rawson and Darnel families have been bitter rivals for years. Veda Darnel had grown up listening to her father’s frequent diatribes about the family that had ruined his life and although Veda and the Rawsons had moved in the same circles, she had ...more

Mixed feelings here. While I read this book in one sitting and enjoyed many aspects of the story, I do have some negative comments to mention.
The book faces Ajax Rawson and Veda Darnel, whose families have an old dispute, related to items of the heart. Always love gets in the way of a good relationship between friends. I won’t say more. A night of passion brings our main characters together and even if Ajax is willing to try the “relationship route” with Veda, she is not in a hurry to believe hi ...more

This is Book 1 in the About That Night Series and my first read by this author, and I must say that I am pleasantly surprised. The storyline, the characters, and the author's writing style are quite good. It is a steamy, emotional romance between children of rival families, Ajax and Veda. These characters are likeable, the connection strong, the chemistry combustible, and the unconventional plot makes for an intriguing read. It is a romantic adventure with drama, humor, and love, plus engaging s

The h plays hot and cold more than the H. The H and h's dads are rivals in the same horse racing business. H is a playboy nicknamed 'The Stud' and h is a life coach which is actually a misnomer as she is mostly about lifestyle blogger and gives advise, presentations and speeches rather than actually 'coaching' but that's not my pet peeve. From out of the left field there is allegations about doping, there is talk of h being responsible for her mom's death, relationship issues with dad and hints

There is nothing worse than rivalry to put a wedge between people especially when it's to do with stubborn old fathers, unfortunately for Veda and Ajax their fathers do hate each other. I really liked how at first we didn't really know why Veda and Ajax's fathers hated each other and then it all started to come out and you got a little torn over who to feel bad for but also frustrated about how stubborn old men can be as it put so much pressure on them. This is not only a story about falling in

I enjoyed this new "About That Night" story! This is Ajax and Veda's story. It's an intriguing romance with family drama and good twists and turns. The story is nicely developed with a good and interesting plot. The chemistry and connection between the characters is amazing. One night of passion leads to so much but all that transpired in the past and what happens on their path can they find happiness or will it be destroyed?

I do not know what this author had done but I can not seem to keep away from her characters and words which normal I do not read too many of contemporary with rich etc. But I do like a good one that carries a challenge to see where it goes. In this we will watch a match between Ajax and Veda with chemistry and rumors heading the way. The threads of intrigue adds the spice I delight in a romance with the characters keeping my attention also. We get the whole ball of wax with this one so I guess t
