Mary’s Monet Moments in Reviewing... ONE NAUGHTY NIGHT by Laurel McKee

In ONE NAUGHTY NIGHT by Laurel McKee the theme that did keep to ripple through was that love conquers all.  Love protects you when it can, warms you when you are cold, and provides a sense of peace among the chaos of life.

Well the romantic believer that I am I truly believed that Aiden and Lily are a couple that despite everything working against them, love was on their side.  It was not a story book romance as the bumps in the road were mighty hefty to overcome, but I truly felt from the magnificent way Laurel McKee wrote this book that it was going to happen someway, somehow.  Deep sigh right here.

As a fan of Claude Monet’s I am always moved by how he took the negatives in his life to make them positives.  No one liked his paintings, they criticized his innovative style, and what he thought was okay he went with.  Life may knock you around but look for the one shining moment in the day and celebrate a Little Victory. 

ONE NAUGHTY NIGHT by Laurel McKee

Are you really that mysterious or is that just an act to get my attention?

Lily St. Claire was literally plucked off the street and raised up from poverty by the generosity of her adopted family.  The long seeded grudge that they held against the Huntington family was as deeply embedded in her as if she were a true member of the family.  What surprise was she to behold when the one bane of her existence turns out to the joy of her life, Lord Aiden Huntington.

Aiden has always kept his emotions and interests in check, never sharing his secrets.  Being the second son he was able to carry on with the life he wanted as opposed to the one destined to be his older brother’s.  Aiden did indeed carry on until his eyes met Lily’s and time literally stood still.  Never having experienced these emotions before Aiden is not sure what has come over him.  It can’t be anything more than infatuation but the moment he touches her hand the rest he will write down to destiny.

The St. Claire family had many ventures in London both in the theatre and gaming hall.  Lily is an integral part of whatever the family did so her loyalties are tested when Aiden pushes her toward a fall from which she will not recover.  He is handsome and ever so charming but Lily sees beneath this façade to the genuine soul of a poet that is beating just for her.  Having overcome so much in her lifetime, some of which keeps coming back to haunt her can she have both Aiden and her family at the same time?

Laurel McKee starts this new series with sensational characters and a moving story line that will entertain and delight ever reader.
