I love Penny Jordan’s stories and always enjoy her books. I was given One Night in His Arms by a friend, one of the few books I don’t have in my collection. This is a sweet story with some really racy and steamy sex scenes….and hey written in the 90’s!!!
Sylvie Bennett, a gorgeous house restorer from a rich and privilege English family has been in love with Ranulf Carrington, who works as the estate manager in her stepbrother’s country estate, since she can remember. After being rejected by Ran when she had tried to seduce him at 17, she decided that she would carry on with her life without him.
Ten years later they meet again but this time she is not the teenager but a professional woman who is determined for him to meet her on equal terms.
Lots of misunderstandings…..he thinks she had an affair with some ruffian, she is now having an affair with her much older boss….she thinks he hates her, he’s having an affair with another woman….on and on the pages flow with all …..she is…he is…..until finally they discover that they have always loved each other and hurrah…she waited for him to be the first man to make love to her…sweet…….something he never thought would happen. I have to admit I engaged more with Ran than I did with Sylvie….he’s stunning, gorgeous and with a sense of humour…well at times…sometimes I wanted to clobber him…and say…just get the girl…you are what she really wants ….and she is the woman of your dreams…..FIGHT FOR HER….
Everything is cleared up in the end and they fly off into the sunset to have their HEA.
I love the English countryside settings with all those gorgeous homes, fields with sheep and cows, green rolling hills.
So, yes I enjoyed this book.
