Review: A short, steady read

With a snarky female and her best-friend being forced to share a hotel room together in foreign climes, One Night in Buenos Aires had potential. But, whilst it flowed well and I polished it off in one sitting, I have to be honest and say it didn’t really wow me and the best word I can use to describe it is nice; nice characters, nice setting, nice intimacy and nice epilogue.It has its sexy moments and I appreciate it's a novella so everything is condensed - in some respects though that should heighten the intensity of the feelings - but it just hovered around nice throughout and Drea and Joe seemed to lose some of their likeability when they took the leap. Drea's initial feistiness seemed to be forgotten with her turning a bit too needy and it didn’t sit right that Joe was prepared to beg. Fight for your woman yes, beg, nuh huh, particularly when you’ve done bugger all wrong!I am the first to admit I can sometimes be difficult to please with novellas, particular standalone ones. But if a nice shortish, steady, easy read, is what you seek then this is that. I just struggled to become invested in the characters on this occasion. But it was wrapped up with a nice epilogue which novella’s can lack.Copy received courtesy of Entangled Publishing via NetGalley for an honest and unbiased opinion
