The Grayson Family saga continues with this latest release
from Francis Ray. Cattle rancher Duncan McBride, brother to
Cameron and Faith, was burned by his ex-wife who cared
nothing for the life he loves. Archaeologist and professor
Raven Le Blanc, seeking the security that will come from
tenure, agrees to document the primitive drawings found in a
cave on McBride's property. Except, the beautiful Raven is
not what Duncan expected when he gave matchmaking Ruth
Grayson his agreement for her to stay and work at the ranch
for the summer.
I haven't read a Francis Ray book that I didn't like. ONE
NIGHT WITH YOU is no exception. Of her books, though, this
latest release wasn't my favorite, and that almost feels
like blasphemy, because it's common knowledge that each of
Ms. Ray's books will be better than the last.
Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed this story as much as any of
the Grayson stories I've previously read. In fact, I stayed
up late, hunkered down in my bathroom so as not to disturb
my sleeping husband, to finish this page-turning read. The
problem is that Francis Ray consistently develops such great
characters— intelligent and desirable hunks paired with
savvy, smart sisters— in such a sizzling yet tender romance
that I've come to expect nothing less. I always learn
something about a slice of life that is uncommon to romance
and unfamiliar to me. I always feel transported into a
setting so well described that I can almost touch and see
it. I always come away believing in love, specifically
Black love, on a level too often unseen or trivialized in
the media. Those are high expectations for any author to
live up to, and thankfully, Ms. Ray always delivers, as she
has once again in ONE NIGHT WITH YOU.
ONE NIGHT WITH YOU is a fantastic read. Run, don't walk, to
get your copy.
Cougars, brush fires, snow storms—rancher Duncan McBride
tackles it all without a flinch. But the archeologist who’s
come to authenticate cave drawings found on his property is
the kind of trouble he’d sworn to avoid. Far from the aging
academic he was expecting, Raven La Blanc is a stunning
woman…and definitely not sticking around this small Montana
town once her job is done.
The primitive drawings at Duncan’s ranch are Raven’s ticket
to the tenured position she’s worked so hard for back in
Santa Fe. But there’s no denying the attraction between her
and Duncan. Maybe, just this once, she can put her work
aside and explore the depths of her own heart and soul? One
night may be all it takes for Raven to really find
what she’s looking for…
