2.5 StarsA Night of Misbehaving is one of those books that could have been so much better had it been longer; had we had the time to really get to know the characters and see their relationship blossom and grow. What we got was just a quick look at the beginning of what could probably have been a really nice romance and I felt cheated.When Brent Turner realizes his moronic business partner intends to take out and bed “Super Mom” Georgia Taylor he insists on taking the date himself. He has an ulterior motive; he wants to woo the company she works for into a wellness program he’s developing for his gym. However, he’s quickly enchanted by Georgia and realizes there’s more to life than work and he’d like to spend some one on one time with her.Georgia Taylor can’t believe when Brent Turner aka Sexy Dad walks in and turns out to be her blind date. She’s mortified that her young daughter’s best friend’s dad is her date even more that Brent turned down her good friend when she asked him out. She tries telling herself it won’t work but somehow her body isn’t getting the message.I really loved the set up of this book, the fact that they are both parents of young children who go to the same school. The fact that her best friend has a crush on him and that he’s noticed she’s cold towards him at the school but he has no idea why and that they have this chemistry that can’t be ignored. What I didn’t like is that their time together was rushed and that they seemed to forget about their initial reservations almost immediately. I would have loved way more time with these characters getting to know them better, seeing how they got along with the other’s child, and how they fit their relationship into their very busy lives.I enjoyed the premise of A Night of Misbehaving, but it could have been so much better had the characters and the plot been more fully developed.Review copy provided for an honest review.
