What do you get when you put an unhappy woman on a long trip alone, toss in an ultra hot hitch hiker with plenty of emotional carry-ons, and toss in one hotel room?  This book!I keep picturing that old Heart video All I Want to Do Is Make Love to You....I enjoyed this book a great deal.  Rose is in a negative relationship with Aaron, clearly walking a tightrope of dumping him cold when a diversion in the name of Heath pops into view on her drive north from Florida for a getaway.  I loved the running commentary in Rose's head about her brilliant idea to pick up a hitch hiker.  And I especially loved Heath's blunt sex talk as their personal lives unfolded.Normally I loathe romance novels where the heroine does something so stupid that it flies in the face of logic, purposely makes a bad choice so that the story can swing away in anguish for a moment so that the hero can save the day.  Ms. Kevay doesn't do that in this book which is a refreshing change in my opinion.  The main characters stay true to what we know about them, the decisions are perfect for the scenarios presented, and when I finished the book it was a with a happy smile and a desire to know what happens next in the lives of the characters.  I think Ms. Kevay has a real knack for writing novellas that are perfect for what they are (short stories), end well but leave you wanting to know the next chapter in the lives of the people you've enjoyed getting to know for what always seems like far too short with her books.Best Night Ever is still my favorite for this author, but I enjoyed the steamy hotel scene and the sweet romance that bloomed fast without feeling rushed.  Another kudos to Ms. Kevay from a true fan.
