What are the odds of finding a kindred spirit from your home
town in Paris France? Melanie Shaw has been in Paris two
hours and plans on enjoying all Paris has to offer. She is
suppose to be on this trip with her two best friends, but
life happens and she is here by herself. She is enjoying
the view of Norte Dame when she is pushed to the ground and
her backpack is ripped from her arm. As she tries to get up
and see who mugged her, she sees a man in a brown leather
take chase after her muggers. She hopes he catches them,
everything was in there except her clothes and her
passport. When her knight in shinning armor returns empty
handed, she is a little disappointed.
Drew Eldridge was taken by the woman before he ever talked
to her. He can tell she is a tourist by her clothes and
white gym shoes. Watching her get mugged just makes him
mad. He gave a good chase, but after losing them, and
having to go back empty handed, he is not happy. Once the
introductions are over and he learns she is also from Dallas
and they have a friend in common, he is happier. He gives
her a ride to her hotel and decides that she will not be
staying in the bed bug infested hotel. He can tell how
independent she is and knows that he will have to be
careful how he approaches the subject of her staying with
him in his town home. Drew finally gets her to agree to
stay with him. On the way to his town house she falls
asleep in the car and does not wake up once they arrive, he
carries her in and up to a guest room. After removing one
shoe and working on the other she wakes up and is surprised
to find herself in a beautiful blue bedroom with Drew
taking her shoes off. After he leaves her alone so she can
clean up, he heads to his study. Melanie finds him there
and borrows his phone so she can call Astrid to let her
know what happened, and to let her other BFF Val know what
happened. Astrid confirms that Drew is one of the good
guys. After talking to Astrid, Melanie returns his phone
to him and they talk about what she wants to do while in
Paris. Drew already had a plan in his head of how he wanted
to show Paris to her, but he knew she would want to pay him
back, she has already told as much. After Drew pleads his
case and she makes him understand she is not after his
money, she gives into his way of seeing Paris. It is the
best four days of life. The mugging could have ruined her
trip to Paris, but it turned out to be about the best thing
that ever happened to her.
I very much enjoyed ONE NIGHT WITH A BILLIONAIR. The
chemistry between Melanie and Drew is off the charts right
from the start. I have always enjoyed Ms. Thompson's
writing and story telling and this is one of her best. How
she tells the story of two strangers meeting and over
coming obstacles and finding their happily ever after is
great.
Melanie, Astrid, and Valerie may be best friends, but
they have very different ideas of what kind of man is more
fun—one with a pocket full of cash or a guy with spurs
on his boots?
Growing up on a ranch, Melanie Shaw always assumed
she'd end up with a strong, protective cowboy someday.
Before she settles down, though, she decides to take a
romantic adventure in Paris, a city she longs to explore.
But on the first day of her getaway, Melanie winds up
in trouble and is rescued by an unlikely stranger—the
handsomest Texan she's ever seen. He may not be a cowboy,
but what girl can resist a billionaire who wants to take her
on a whirlwind tour of the City of Lights? And when the
romance between them heats up, Melanie realizes that she may
have found her perfect man where she least expected...
