~Review~
One Wild Night is the first episode in a six
part serial novel and I really enjoyed it. Valerie is Melanie’s sister and we
meet her in The Only One. I really liked her a lot so I was excited that she was
getting her own story. This first episode really gives us an idea of who
Valerie is and I liked getting to know her more.
Valerie is super self-conscious and has some self-esteem
issues. She is a curvier girl and this has always made her feel like she wasn’t
good enough. She feels like the woman that men just want to sleep with but don’t
want to be seen with. Because of this, she has never really had a serious
relationship. I think she just doesn’t give herself enough credit and she
allows men to use her for the physical stuff because she doesn’t feel worthy of
anymore. I think Valerie is funny, smart and deserves so much more.
Wes is sex incarnate and when Valerie meets him
at a “hottest abs” contest, the sparks fly. Mix alcohol, insane sexual
chemistry and bad ideas and what happens? You end up married in Vegas. I was
dying laughing when Valerie woke up and realized Wes was her husband. I wasn’t
sold on Wes, though, and I’m still not sure about him. He’s a musician on his
way to LA to make it big and he’s working as a stripper in Vegas and getting
married was his idea. It seems like he thought Valerie was a big marketing exec
in Chicago and he seemed a bit disappointed when he found out she’s just a
low-level worker starting out. This gave me the gold digger vibe and I kind of
wanted to punch him in the face. However, he grew on me towards the end because
he definitely seemed to genuinely have affection for Valerie.
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas right?
Not when you can’t get a divorce in Vegas. It would seem that Valerie has run
out of luck and this just seems to fit perfectly with how her life is going.
However, I think it may turn out to be a good thing for her. The sexual
chemistry between these two is HAWT and there is definitely some steam there. I
really like Magan’s writing and she doesn’t disappoint in this one. There is
still a lot of development left to this story by since this is a serial novel,
I don’t feel like I can really judge that yet since obviously full development
isn’t complete yet. However, this episode was a really good start and I was
left wanting more by the end.
