Review: One Last Night – Melanie Milburne
July 12, 2011 in Harlequin Presents, June 2011, Melanie Milburne, Reviews, USA by juliemt
Maya had been unable to stop herself from falling madly in love with Italian billionaire Giorgio Sabbatini. Although they came from different worlds and moved in completely different circles, Maya had been unable to resist Giorgio, and when he had proposed to her, she had thought that all of her dreams had come true. Yet, Maya’s hopes and dreams for a fairy tale life, spent by her husband’s side, were dashed when she realized that she couldn’t give Giorgio the one thing which he wanted more than anything else in the world: a baby! Determined not to spend the rest of her life married to a man who would grow to resent her, Maya had decided to pack her bags and to walk out on her marriage. But little did she realize that forgetting a man like Giorgio Sabbatini was no picnic! Constantly assailed by memories of the man who had captured her heart, Maya decided to throw herself into her work and to try and move on with her life. However, Giorgio is never far away from her thoughts…
When a chance encounter pushes the two of them together, old feelings resurface and temperatures begin to soar. A night of sizzling passion quickly ensues – only this time Maya cannot simply pack her bags and walk out on her husband because she is now carrying Giorgio’s baby!
Marriage had never been on Giorgio Sabbatini’s list of things to do. He had only decided to marry Maya as a means to an end, yet the feisty teacher had got under his skin and managed to breach some of the defenses which he had built around his heart. When she had walked out on him, Giorgio had been absolutely furious. Nobody made a fool out of Giorgio Sabbatini and lived to tell the tale. The sexy Italian playboy is determined to make Maya pay for her defection – and what better way is there to make his errant wife pay than by forcing her into pretending to being his lover?
Maya knows that she should refuse to have anything to do with this mad plan of Giorgio’s. But now that she is carrying his child, she is well aware that she’s got no other option but to pretend that they’ve patched things up. However, when pretend passion gives way to the real deal, Maya wonders whether she can run the risk of falling in love with her husband again – or whether he will break her heart one more time?
Will it be second time lucky for Maya and Giorgio? Or are the two lovers destined to remain apart?
Melanie Milburne continues her captivating Sabbatini brothers mini-series with One Last Night, a poignant, passionate and highly engaging contemporary romance that is sure to hold readers spellbound. A story of second chances, powerful secrets and forbidden passion, One Last Night is a mesmerizing read that is sure to strike a chord with readers everywhere. Maya was a spirited and believable heroine we can all relate to and it’s impossible not to fall for Giorgio, who was a kind, caring and compassionate hero.
An enjoyable romance from a writer who never disappoints, One Last Night is another unmissable treat from Melanie Milburne’s talented pen!
