More Than Just One Night is the 1st book in the Selwood Sisters series by Claire Baxter.  This was a nice little, quick read.  Although, the book wasn't flawless it was a nice little escape from reality for a couple of hours.Cora is the oldest of the Selwood sisters and the head of the family business ever since her husband died 6 years before.  She's done everything she can to keep the business going strong until her son could take over the helm.  Rarely doing anything for herself ever, Cora had one wild one night stand after 6 years of celibacy and it rocked her world.  She snuck out the next morning and returned to her martyred life.Alex can not get Cora out of his mind after his amazing night with her.  Unfortunately, he woke to her gone and no last name or any clue as to how find her.  Now, their paths crossed unexpectedly and he's not letting her go a second time.Cora was a strong woman in the instance that she took over the family business and worked her butt off to keep it going strong, all the while dealing with the death of the man she loved and 2 kids at home that needed their mother.  Yet, as strong as she is she just lets people walk all over her.  First, her 20 year old daughter just runs her life and takes complete advantage of Cora.  It takes a lot for Cora to finally stand up to a lifetime of being bullied by her daughter.  Then there was the weird situation with her deceased husband's best friend.  He was there for her in the beginning to offer advice when she was getting to know the business, but then she continued to allow him to judge her and bully her when she made a decision that he didn't agree with.  She was so afraid of being judged or talked about by anyone that she refused to do anything that was for herself.  She was even willing to throw away her chance of a future with Alex until her daughter offered her blessing and acceptance.I had several annoyances with this book, but Alex was not one of the.  He was sweet and patient, yet when he said I can't play your games anymore he meant it and stuck to his word.  It took a ton of strength to walk away from what he knew would be a great match, but he wasn't one to let others dictate his life and I loved that about him.Even though I was not a big fan of the heroine of this book I liked the book overall.  The storyline was decent and the writing was well done.  You can't blame the book and the writer when you personally don't like a character.I would like to thank BookRooster.com for the loan of this book in exchange for my honest review.You can find this review and others at [...] and [...]
