Hannah Ryder is an actress who is looking for any evidence that her current director, Antonio Ventura, is sexually harassing anyone on set after her sister, Hope, was victimized by him.
Brock McNeill is a cowboy whose family owns Creek Spill Ranch where the movie is being filmed. He is going through his own issues with his family right now as they are being blackmailed due to some unknown secrets of his step-mom.
When Hannah and Brock meet sparks fly but Hannah is holding back secrets from Brock and what will happen when he finds out the truth? When an accident happens on set and Brock is injured will he remember Hannah and that someone is out to hurt his family?
This was a good read and I really enjoyed it. This is the first book I have read by the author and I didn’t feel lost with the story but I could tell that certain characters have already had their story told.
I liked Hannah and how determined she was to take down Antonio Ventura but I hated how she was so reluctant to trust others, especially Brock. She was very standoffish once she learned what Brock’s last name was and I hated that she almost judged him before getting to know him.
Brock was such a great character and you could tell how much he cared about his family. I thought he was very genuine with Hannah and he was concerned for sure when she took a step back from him once she learned who he was.
It was obvious how much chemistry the two had but both had certain goals in mind and it was seeing how they were going to be able to handle everything! The accident definitely threw a twist into the story and I was super curious when and if everything was going to come back to him.
I really liked the character of Scarlett McNeill and how she did her own investigation into what was happening with her mom.
I loved when everything was revealed and how Brock’s step mom was able to figure out that something serious had happened with Hannah.
The end was great and I look forward to more in this series. – By Rebecca
This book was wonderful I wasn’t sure at first only cuz im not a fan no of actor/singer stories but this was great. I loved the ending just wish there was a bit more,but I love the hints for there future it was nice being able to guess at the things to come for there future. Good story thanks for the book.
Brock and Hannah find themselves leary of each other with her trying to help her sister and he trying to find who wants to hurt his family but the chemistry between them is explosive. Loved reading how they work thru all of the obstacles to find the greatest love
This is another excellent addition to this series. With great writing, an engaging plot and likable characters, this book is a very good read. Along with the romance you get some mystery, that only adds to your reading pleasure.
Joanne Rock’s One Night Scandal brings the McNeill Magnate series to a close. I have loved this series from the beginning. Rock always weaves serious elements into her stories and it makes them all the richer for it. Family drama abounds in this final book in the series and everything comes to a satisfying resolution. I wish there were more McNeill’s waiting in the wings.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this novel.
I happen to have read a couple lately by this author with this one being one I really enjoyed. The story line for some reason really caught my attention with as soon as I turned the first page I was following Brock and Hannah. When he goes to the set your curiosity is already in gear but impressions will not be all that it appears. When misfortune strikes you will be so drawn into their world you might find holding your breath a time or two will occur.
Intrigue and drama are not shy in this making for a page turner that is swimming with romance too. It also tempts you to catch up if you were like me and not having read all of the ones proceeding this. If this is the example of the heat that rolls off the pages it is to be considered to squeeze them in.
What a great ending to The McNeill Magnates series. Book is well written, great characters. Loved Hannah and Brock. Awesome book. Thinking about reading it, don’t think, just do it.
Secrets exposed! With the final book in The McNeill Magnates saga, we get to find out what the big secret has been and tie up some loose ends of the series as well as get a glimpse into what’s been going on with some of our favorite characters from previous books. The amnesia twist in this story didn’t really do it for me, it felt a little forced and convenient rather than an integral part of the plot, however, the groundwork for the story was filled with intrigue. Overall this has been a great series with many arms of the family coming together to bring us a rich story line. Really enjoyed the McNeills!
Actress Hannah Ryder took this job on the set of Winning the West in order to spy and get revenge on the man who hurt one of her own. She can’t let herself be sidetracked by her hatred … but when a sexy cowboy walks into her scene, well, she can only withstand so much distraction before she buckles!
Hannah isn’t the only one keeping secrets when she meets and shares a night of passion with the sexy cowboy she only knows as Brock, but when she finds out her guy is none other than Brock McNeill, she isn’t sure how to proceed because he just might be protecting the man she’s out to bring down. A convenient case of amnesia just might be her saving grace!
“One Night Scandal” is the ninth and final book of The McNeill Magnates miniseries by Joanne Rock and features horse breeder, Brock McNeill, and actress, Hannah Ryder.
Hannah comes to Wyoming to star in a movie being filmed on McNeill land and to avenge her sister, Hope. Brock is mesmerized the first time he sets eyes on Hannah. They give in to their off-the-charts chemistry that very first night.
When Brock is injured and suffers amnesia, Hannah decides it’s best to focus on the reason she’s in Wyoming and not on Brock. Yet, the more time they spend together, the more Hannah regrets not telling Brock the truth.
Having to deal with amnesia and his attraction to Hannah, Brock is also dealing with a blackmailer threatening his family.
While the plot of “One Night Scandal” is ripped from recent headlines and is written with authenticity, this story also has the passion and sexiness we come to expect from a Harlequin Desire.
This reader is sad to say goodbye to the McNeill family, but excited to read what Ms. Rock comes up with next.
This story ties up loose ends from previous books in the series . We finally get to know who has been blackmailing the McNeill’s and why. As well as the real identity of Paige McNeill, the once nanny who later became step-mother to the McNeill brothers and mom to three strong women.
Add to this Brock McNeill’s attraction to the leading actress of the movie being filmed in McNeill property, Hannah Ryder, her secrets and his amnesia, and you have a book filled with intrigue, family , and romance.
All in all , another entertaining story by this talented author.

One Night Scandal By Joanne Rock.
Hannah and Brock are the love story, the blackmail is the other storyline.
Hannah is a actress and Brock is a horse trainer. There is so much going on in this book that makes it a great read. I like the fact that the family came together to support each other. Hannah and Brock fell in love fast but was fighting it because of the blackmail storyline and the fact they live in different states. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a good book.
