This easily could have been just a mediocre love story, but I felt it pulled away slightly from the average bunch due to its unusual twists to a standard plot and a very likable main couple. Cristo and Eleanor had depth; they suffered and persevered through difficult choices and became stronger and wiser individuals for it while still maintaining a level of vulnerability. There was passion here, more in keeping with Harlequin historical; you know, more tender rather than hard core. The fact that I like my romances on the hot and spicy side is the only reason why One Illicit Night gets a slightly lower rating. 3.8 stars.

excellent book to read and I will be willing to read it again
This author stuns me with her beautiful and evocative phrasing. Her writing style is very intellectual and eloquent. I wonder if that has anything to do with her living in New Zealand?
I've read several of her books and have decided this one will be my last. She puts her characters through so much that it wears me out just reading. Recommended if you like better-than-average literature style writing with your romance. Not recommended if you read to relax. This one required a lot of concentration.
