Basic
Summary
He had planned a
perfect weekend for her…
Gabriel “Force”
Banner has been unable to get a certain sexy accountant out of his head. Sole Regret’s inventive drummer has created
big plans to keep sweet Melanie entertained all weekend long. Unfortunately, Melanie arrives for their rendezvous
with a bit of baggage that just might ruin their fun.
She didn't mean to make things difficult…
Melanie wouldn't blame Gabe if he left her at the airport with her bit of baggage, but he’s
determined to make their limited time together work. When they leave behind the bustle of New
Orleans and the rock’n’roll scene to visit his serene oasis outside of Austin,
Texas, their romantic weekend seems to be back on track. But life has a way of butting in at the worst
possible times.
Can they learn
how to support each other in the face of adversity or will reality destroy
their budding relationship before it even takes flight?
What I
Love About This Novella
Well first of all if
Gabe can invent all these awesome sex toys then why I can’t buy these suckers
online or in a sex toy store? Someone
needs to start putting his invention to the test because they sound super
fun! Who wouldn't love a totally hot
scientist that just so happens to be rock star with a killer Mohawk and soft heart? Other than Shade, Gabe Banner is
my favorite band member in Sole Regret.
He’s freaking awesome and there isn't anything I don’t love about
him. He has that great soul that is
totally deep, and it’s so cute how he still sees himself as that nerdy band
geek he was in high school, even if he has millions of fans.
I like Melanie
a lot because she’s like the normal girl that just so happens to meet a rock
star and then they fall for each other.
Like that’s just my dream come true right there in one sentence. Why doesn’t this kind of stuff happen in real
life? I like Melanie a lot and I love
that she is such a great girlfriend but even at the end of the book Nikki, her
best friend, really got on my nerves. If
Olivia Cunning wrote Nikki to be this annoying presence in Melanie’s life than
she succeeded! What Nikki does do though
is bring out the best qualities of Melanie in a lot of ways, showing how
amazing a character she is. There were
times when I felt Melanie was just a sucker for Nikki’s manipulation but I get
it, and I appreciate Nikki being Melanie’s foil in this series.
Cons
Like I said before
Nikki is really freaking annoying, I wanted to slap her across the face at
certain points in this story. If one of
my friends tried to ruin my romantic weekend with a new boyfriend she might
still be my friend after it, but she would have a hand print on her face for
quite some time! I hope that if their
story continues into another novella either Nikki will not be present or she
will be less annoying, because truly a person can only take so much.
Also I just
love Gabe Banner he’s freaking perfect.
But here’s the thing, he’s too perfect.
I had to keep reminding myself that they have only know each other a
week and this is only the second time they have seen each other because Gabe
and Melanie were just laying it a little too think. I get these are novellas and the whole point
of One Night of Sole Regret means you get just one night in the beginning but
damn, Gabe was so sweet at times my teeth hurt!
I like more jaded characters and Gabe doesn't deliver that for me, but that’s okay I have Adam to give me more of a dramatic past. I can’t wait to get to his story next!
Overall
I absolutely love
this series, I love that Olivia Cunning has mixed it up a bit giving each band
member more than one novella and in turn giving us more than one night. It’s a new take on series and the greatest
part about novellas is that you can revisit characters without making the
series seem too long and stretched out.
I see at the end of the book that the More Than One night revolves
around this weekend, so we get to see what all the other band members were
doing while Gabe and Melanie were cuddling together in his log cabin.
The pace of
the book was really good, not too fast which can happen some times in novellas
because there is so much story to tell in a smaller length. I didn't have that impression at all while
reading this so that was awesome. The
character development was great, I felt like even if you hadn't read Try Me
(One Night of Sole Regret, #1) which was the beginning of their story you wouldn't be lost and still understood their personalities. Great background details as well, it makes
me want to discover an A frame log cabin hidden in the wood somewhere with a
hot man on some weekend. There was a
lot of action in this story that definitely had me on edge a couple of times,
and I was scared at a certain point I wouldn't get the closure I was looking
for at the end. But Gabe and Melanie
pulled it together for me at the very end and I thank them that. Can’t wait to dive into Adam and Madison’s
story next!
