Fifteen thousand dollars. That’s all that stands between Maggie Doyle and all her worldly possessions. If she doesn’t figure out a way to find the money, she’ll lose everything. She realizes she’ll have to take drastic measures if she wants to salvage anything. What she doesn’t count on is meeting up with an old love at a social function. When Maggie and Jack begin to dance, it’s as if the years they’ve lost melt away and they begin to recall their past. Maggie has a lot to lose at this point in her life. But with Jack, she may also have much to gain.

I enjoyed One Night In Boston from beginning to end. Granted, this story has some issues but there aren’t any that can’t be overlooked. The heroine seems, at times, to be spineless but given the situation I suppose that could be realistic. I just wish she seemed stronger, less willing to let the chips fall where they may. Still, her character flaws make her more human, and don’t take anything away from the overall story. The flashbacks fill in so much background, and I like that about this book. I felt as if I was right there in the past with Maggie and Jack. I felt Maggie’s swirling emotions as she struggled to decide just how much to reveal to Jack. Also, the relationship between Maggie and her brother is one that anyone could have. It is realistic and understandable.

Without revealing anything more, I’ll just say I very much enjoyed One Night In Boston. It’s a satisfying read. I finished this book with a smile on my face and feeling as if I’d just watched a wonderfully romantic story.
