Finally a single dad that isn’t a billionaire
…. and a woman who isn’t the nanny!
I thought this was a really cute story. I really liked the Hero and Heroine characters. They felt real and like I could bump into people like that anywhere. Far too often in single dad romance he’s a billionaire and she’s the nanny he wasn’t supposed to fall for. This single dad is just an average man who stepped up when he needed to and did what any loving parent should do and she was just someone who happened into their lives almost by accident. It was very refreshing that it wasn’t full of extravagances or impossibly unrealistic events, actions, & expectations.
Unfortunately, I found several of the plot lines to be completely over the top.
The double standard about full disclosure and honesty between the Hero and Heroine made me more than angry. In fact, there were a couple of times I almost just stopped reading. The way she handled things was so juvenile and yet she’s several years out of college so she has to be mid to late twenties. Come on! Assumptions and double standards are probably the two things that actually irritate me, at least, when they go unacknowledged! If she had even had the thought, “hey who am I to judge I’ve not fully disclosed my past” I could have overlooked it eventually.
The flash of the ex’s involvement in the story were handled so poorly. I mean come on if protecting your child is important then DO SOMETHING about the crazy stalker who has no legal rights! That would have been so easy to shut down, one phone call to police and she would have been dealt with and gone. Her story didn’t do it for me… it was the one unrealistic part of the whole story and it ultimately wasn’t suspenseful – just annoying.
Also, there was a bit of discontinuity in the book. If it hadn’t been brought up during the epilogue it would have been fine but then the heroine thinks back to the “one time” that they weren’t careful…. um the second round for them was also unprotected and the Hero actually has the thought during the event that he felt like he was forgetting something. Basically the ONLY time they were “careful” was the first time. So clearly an addition was coming. Again – no suspense for the reader just stating what should be an obvious outcome.
Okay, 3 Stars for me is average… this was a cute book. If a friend was looking for a fun poolside read I’d recommend it with a brief warning.
It was short and maybe in a full length book these issues wouldn’t have been handled the same way or could have been more developed. I think in that way the roots of this story still have room to grow.
Im in love with amelie and ryan story i recomanded this book
Enjoyed this book. Loved the characters. Would read more books by this author
This book was different from most because Ryan was just an every day single father just trying to do his best and Amelie was not looking for anything either just being out of a bad relationship. It just happened.
I give this book 5 stars. Great story, I really enjoyed the character interactions and the steamy scenes between the adults. Sage Rae is an excellent writer/author, and I love her books.

Not much to the story. Still cute short read. Would have liked to see more of the relationship develop. But an ok book.
This is a great single dD romance. The storyline is arresting and the characters are stimulating and so erotic. I’m so happy they got their he’s. Must read!
Wow! I don’t know how Sage Rae does it! Reading One Night Next Door had me totally enthralled.
The chemistry between Amelie & Ryan was such burning hot! A great story line, the characters had so much depth! I really enjoyed the book!

I got quickly connected with the characters and enjoyed their chemistry, but it hit a plateau and was trying to be plausible but was inconsistent. I ended up getting distracted by typos, wrong words and unclear sentence structure. It ended up becoming painful for me to finish reading. I enjoyed the concept and ideas, and it was overall ok. So if you’re able to overlook errors and want a simple, occasionally implausible read, you’ve found it.

The storyline was well written and the characters were so well detailed that I was hooked from the very first page! The chemistry between Amelie and Ryan was off the charts HOT which kept me glued to my kindle until the turn of the very last page!
This was an interesting look at how two people found each other. The town dog turned father and nice guy who has changed but most of the women in town still thinks he is a ladies man thought he couldn’t find Miss right because he was busy raising a child might just find the woman of his dreams downstairs. And a woman who thought she was in love but found out her man was just using her so she moves across country not even wanting to think about a man until she decides to take her upstairs neighbor up on a drink one night.

Sage Rae knows how to write! This is a great story about second chances, parenthood and that new romance. Amelie just moved to a small town half way across the United States to get a fresh start. She had a bad affair in Chicago with her editor. He used her sexually and wanted to keep their relationship a secret and she was blind to it. So when he broke it off she left. As she’s moving in to her new apartment, the man from upstairs offers to help her. She declined but can’t get him out of her mind. Ryan is a mechanic and father to 8 yr old Dee. Jodie is the birth mother and gave full custody to Ryan when she took off to Europe. This story does have a happy ending with Amelie, Ryan and Dee plus a surprise ending.

This is a great story about new beginnings. Amelie moves to a new city for a new job after running away from her old life. She meets Ryan and she’s uncertain if she should open herself up to another man. The characters have depth and realism making them relatable and loveable. The twists and turns keep you engaged and on the edge of your seat while the ups and downs have your emotions going all over the place and living the moments with them. The storyline, the romance and the electric attraction come together to create a great read.

Quick, cute little read
That was very cute, quick little read. One night stand becomes quickly more. There is no way not to have a little complications and some drama. Hot, sexy scenes but also romantic dialogues. This read is easy and at the end the sweet one.

An enjoyable short sweet love story. This engaging read has little drama and flows smoothly with interesting relateable characters. Their connection is instant and good chemistry but both are not looking for anything because of things in their pasts. I honestly and voluntarily reviewed this ARC
The is a really great book and I highly recommend reading it.
