Customer Reviews

I really enjoyed this one

This was a great addition to the O'Connell's and Sean doesn't disappoint. Savannah was taken off the streets of New Orleans as a teenager along with her autistic sister by a man named Beaumont who then taught her to be a professional gambler and dressed her up to make men focus on her not gambling. When Beaumont loses some money to Sean, he gets Savannah to scam him and embarress him to get even but the tables turn when Sean wins the game and gets Savannah as a prize. He thinks she's Beaumont's mistress but she's really a virgin. Beaumont uses her sisters care in a nice facility to blackmail her into doing what he wants. To make the story short, Sean develops feelings for Savannah and asks her to pose as his wife to please his mom then really marries her. Savannah falls for Sean but is still being blackmailed by Beaumont. The only problem with this book is why Savannah wasn't honest with Sean from the beginning. He gives her so many opportunities to tell him what's going on with her sister and Beaumont that it doesn't make since why she doesn't tell. Still the chemistry is great and its never boring.

Wonderful adding to the series!

The One-Night Wife is the fifth book on The O'Conells series. I was expecting this book because in the past ones Sean seemed like the forever bachelor, and I was wondering who would finally get his heart. The wait was worth it, beautiful Savannah won his heart. She made him think of marriage, settling down, and giving up gambling. However, it was not an easy ride. Savannah had a painful past and present. Her protector is a devious man who kept blackmailing her with her sister's wellfare. Sean was a victim, and the something that came near the end was almost to jaw dropping to read it. I loved it! The suspense was great, the love scenes were fabuluous, and the qarrels, Oh my God. I truly recommend it!

Is it worth the gamble? You BET and more!

Sean's story set in the casino world only added to the storyline as the O'Connell's come from a casino background. Sean, handsome, strong and powerful was also sensitive and extremely passionate and wanted to win the lovely Savannah. Savannah's story moved me to tears and was full of action and suspense. Another wonderful Sandra Marton book and a real keeper!
