3.5 starsBRIEF SUMMARYXavier and Toni are going through a rough time with dealing with their past relationships. They first meet and decided it was not the right time until their paths cross again at a masquerade ball. At the masquerade ball, they decided to have one night with each other and walk away. However, as their feelings grow stronger, they find it harder to walk away.THOUGHTSI really enjoyed this quick story as I found it likeable. The storyline had a simplicity to it that wasn't bad and it wasn't great. I felt the pace from the beginning towards the middle had the same tempo throughout that was ok for me when Xavier met Toni. Within the middle, and towards the end, it spiced up, as well as the pace evolved more for me. Xavier was a regular guy who worked as a teacher. I liked that he wanted love even though he wasn't looking for it. He wanted the wife, kids and a house; it made him seem more attractive to me and vulnerable as well. Toni was a singer and not looking for love since her last relationship that has left her scared. When two vulnerable people are coming together and trying to take that step, it was interesting. The night at the masquerade ball change everything for both Xavier and Toni and I enjoyed them coming full circle towards the end, as their lives change.Storyline: GOODIntimacy: VERY SPICYEnjoyment: FAIRLY GOODRomance Novel JunkiesLady Raven Rave
