ONE NIGHT WITH THE CEO is Book 2 in Mia Sosa's "Suits Undone" series. Although this story features a wealthy businessman, this is a perfect story for readers who might not be drawn to stories about rich guys. For me, Mark Lansing's wealth is incidental to this love story. ONE NIGHT WITH THE CEO is more about who the characters are than what they are.
Karen Ramirez's sister is about to marry Mark Lansing's business co-worker and best friend. Before they are made aware of the connection, they fall in lust at first sight at a chance meeting. Karen and Mark are soon unable to fight the attraction and conduct an affair behind the backs of their friends and family. At first glance, it's Karen who is the least likely to commit to a long-term romantic relationship but, as the story progresses, Mark proves slower to take a risk. Mia Sosa does a great of detailing the motivations of the main characters and making them real. Mark's initial reservations about taking a risk on a real relationship with Karen are centered around their ten year age difference and Karen's exclusive focus on her studies. Eventually Mark realizes how much the scarring from his parents' dysfunctional relationship plays a role in his present relationship.
ONE NIGHT WITH THE CEO is about figuring out what you really want in life, and finding balance. Karen and Mark are both good people yet flawed and easy to relate to. The internal struggle that Karen and Mark both experience create an emotional pull for readers. There are steamy scenes in ONE NIGHT WITH THE CEO, but I found the relationship drama slightly more compelling. The happy ending is more satisfying after all the ways Karen and Mark tied themselves in knots throughout ONE NIGHT WITH THE CEO.
ONE NIGHT WITH THE CEO is a great book to have a fling with. Supporting characters like Mimi, Daniel, Symone, and Baxter really captured my interest and make ONE WITH THE CEO a more textured story. I look forward to reading the next book in Mia Sosa's "Suits Undone" series.
