Just One Day | Book Review



Just One Day
by


Description from Goodreads:
She has nothing but time . . .
Twenty-four hours. That’s how long Andie Fremont has to say yes—or no. At forty-four with a daughter in college, she’s no young kitten with starry-eyed ideas of what love is. Still, when the man who is everything she should want pops the question with a ring he knows isn’t her style, during a party she didn’t want to have, Andie balks. Something tells her that it isn’t right.
Looking to clear her head, Andie hits the Texas highway in search of an answer. And when she stumbles upon an old roadside diner she decides waffles might be it, at least for now. What she didn’t expect to find was Jesse Montgomery. The man who stole her heart and broke it all in one day, two decades earlier.
As a Texas-size storm takes shape outside, the electricity between Andie and Jesse builds inside. Suddenly Andie is faced with more than just yes or no. As the storm clears there are two men who will want answers  

My Thoughts:
Just One Day is a novella. I was needing something that would be a fast and easy read. This was it! I main character, Andie, is a woman. What makes this different from what I usually read is that she is not a twenty something looking for love. She is a forty something with a past and a life and real problems. She is totally believable and even thought the story is shorter than a novel, you really get to know her since it is packed with information and still has little to no "fluff". The descriptions of the party on the yacht and the storm were amazing.  You could feel like you were there with her.  The twists and turns in the book were unexpected and wonderful. I think that the story of a woman having to make tough choices about her relationships is pretty common in a romance novel and we think we know what is going to happen.  This book really surprised me and kept me wanting to know more. This is the first Sharla Lovelace that I have read and I look forward to reading more from her.  Overall - I think that it is well written, a nice story, and perfect when you are looking for something quick and attention grabbing.  
Happy Reading!

It is important to note that I received this book from NetGalley in return for a book review. That being said, the feelings expressed in this review are my own and were not influenced by an outside source.
