Liam Wade is facing the biggest change in his life since marrying his best friend, Janelle, and adopting her daughter. Janelle has long since passed on, losing the battle to live a few days after her daughter is born, leaving Liam a father, in need of finding a mother for his daughter Emma.
He's rich, successful, and Leigh is the perfect, approved, wife for him. Before he settles down to give his daughter the best family he can, he wants one week away, to think. Just to make sure that he can leave half of himself hidden and marry without love, because Liam has one big problem in all of this -- he's gay.
Micah Adamson is the owner of a vineyard in Rochester NY, and has yet to find the partner he knows is out there for him. he believes in love and wants forever, and one day he knows he will find his 'forever' man. He attends a wine festival in Santa Monica, seven nights in a beautiful hotel on the beach.
Micah wants to show that love between two men includes affection, understanding, and can be forever. Will he make Liam see sense?

Did I miss the point where the MC`s fell in love with each other?
I don`t think so - there was none.The story even lacked feelings like lust or passion - or a storyline that made any sense.Why should Micah fall in love with a whiny man with irrational behaviour like Liam? Hard to believe.
...just my thoughts.

As always RJ’s writing was great and engaging, but even with the great writing I couldn’t get into this story. It started off a little slow for me and once the guys started to get to know each other I thought I would get into but I never did.
I never warmed up to Liam his inner thoughts were wordy and annoying for me. I like Micah a lot but his POV wasn’t shown as much. When I thought I might warm up to Liam he just let Micah walk away hurt and thinking the worst. At this point I was hoping they wouldn’t get back together. The he stalks Micah buys the land next door and never tells Micah he is there but has his Lawyer go and check up on him and stuff.
Then it is still Micah who initiates contact and resolves something. Not sure since they knew each other three days and Liam betrayed Micah then months later a few spoken sentences and everything is good?

This was a enjoyable story: well-to-do corporate lawyer, single dad, winemaker, vineyards, meddling (in a good way) siblings, cute kid, finding life's true purpose, happy ending!
Liam and Micah meet at a conference and there is instant attraction. They spend some time, a meal and one night together. I didn't particularly like Liam's response to Micah sexually and he is obviously very uncomfortable with his own sexuality.
"All Liam knew at the very end of it, sated and finally sleepy again, he wanted more, even though with Micah's clear need for gentleness and affection, the other man's gay was clearly as broken and inappropriate as his".
Micah doesn't want casual and short term. He has a secure home, life as a winemaker and a loving family. Liam is looking to build a family for his daughter. Liam doesn't believe that a real relationship is possible with a man.
"Could it be possible that it didn't have to be just sex between two men, that there was a man out there for him that could give him what he craved? Love, affection, and a family?"
I enjoyed the gentle approach that Micah takes with Liam and the eventual sacrifice (maybe not quite the right word but he is giving up a lot of his past life) that Liam makes to follow his heart.

This is a book that should never have needed to be written. I applaud Ms Scott for breaking away from her usual style and writing a story that looks at the internalized homophobia forced on many gay men by society today. Liam Wade is definitely a conflicted character and flawed by the intolerance of today's society. I also found him to be a man of integrity and class. He married his best friend even though she knew Liam was gay to give her and her daughter his name. Emma became his main focus after Jan died. Liam was forced into the closet by a family of high social standing and by a desire to do what he saw as the right thing. Many gay
men who are out now once took what they were taught was the right thing and married. The character of Micah Adamson was the foil to not Liam but to the Wade family's standards of what is acceptable. Micah was the strong influence that helped Liam to realize that two men could actually have a tender, healthy and loving relationship. I found the character of Leigh tragic in that she was allowing her family to force her into a loveless marriage with a man she knew would never be able to meet her needs but who was socially a perfect husband. Even Micah's family who loved and accepted him as a gay man had him fitted into the social stereotype of the bed hopping gay. It is time for intolerant people in today's world to pull their heads out of the sand and see that the old stereotypes are wrong and that two men or two women can live a happy, loving life as a couple without corrupting or threatening what is called marriage today. If you are looking for passion in this book, take a good look at Liam Wade. Kudos for a great story Ms Scott and shame on anyone narrow minded enough to complain on a good social commentary.

This is not a story about falling in love but about the potential of it. It is about a man who needs to find himself, stand up for himself and the way he wants to live and the man who, just by showing him how it can be, gave him the final push. RJ, writes a story that is interesting, about the way that some gay men have the need (or the necessity) of being in the closet and the internal struggle that goes on before they come out.
If you are looking for a lovey dovey romance, this isn't the book. If you are looking for erotica then this isn't for you, but if you are looking for a real story with flawed characters, that struggle to redeem themselves and/or find themselves then jump right in.

Even an author I enjoy reading can sometimes write a book that I don't like. It can happen, and this book is one of them. Please check my friend, Bubbles's review since he pretty much writes EVERYTHING I want to say about this one. His feeling resonates mine.
I never feel connected with the characters. Truth be told, I just skim the book to finish. And the one big let down in the end, I feel that Liam is supposed to grovel a LOT, to ask for Micah's forgiveness and to explain things, but he sends his lawyer first to "check" things out. Well, that is just unsatisfying.
Not going to stop reading RJ Scott's book, but I will classify this as one in the *shrugs* shelf.

I've read a lot of RJ Scott lately, and I have to say that even though I know the quality of her stories goes from 2-4 stars for me, this story disappointed me.
I almost didn't finish it. I almost skimmed through it, but made myself read it because I thought there must've been some redeeming qualities. After all I do like most of Scott's work so why not this?
Well... Liam was annoying as hell, most of the time. Micah was better, but still not exactly what I like in a character either. The story... I don't know. I don't have words. Read it and make your own judgement, all of us don't like the same things, obviously.
I was very disappointed and felt a bit cheated. I'm not sure I've given one star to a book before, but this one I just didn't like.
July 13, 2011
2.5-ish stars. I liked the idea of this story, and I usually love whatever I read from her, but I didn't really connect with either of the characters at all. Maybe it was the length of the book that hurt the reading experience for me, I'm not too sure.
July 9, 2011
3.5 stars. Good m/m romance about a deeply closeted guy who's convinced that two men can't have a loving relationship, only a sexual one, so he's engaged to be married to a woman so his adopted daughter will have a stable home.
July 14, 2011
This was a really cute story. I would love a sequel to see how the relationship between Micah and Liam evolves.

It seems that a follow up to this book is mandatory...don't you think?
Read
August 22, 2011Liam and Micah are not your ordinary guys, they are living the life of the beautiful and rich, and their trouble is not how to arrive at the end of the month; but even if they have not material issue, feelings are all another matter. Micah is comfortable with him being gay, so much that is own relatives, two beloved sisters and a brother-in-law, are able to joke with him about that, but deep down Micah is lonely, he would like a very normal, very ordinary family like his parents had, like his sister has. Like in an old fashioned movie, Micah, the owner of a vineyard, would like to pass his land to his own heirs, but to do that he needs a family.
Liam is the very wealthy, very sad second son of an old money stock; I didn’t actually understand if his best girlfriend was aware or not Liam was gay, or if she was aware or not that she was dying, in a way or the other, Liam married Janelle, Janelle had a daughter and she died, leaving Liam a single father of a wonderful baby; maybe since the first marriage of convenience was not a total loss, Liam is now willing to marry a second time, this time with the future wife well aware she is embarking in a chaste marriage since Liam is gay. Few weeks to the event, Liam has cold feet, and asks for a week of freedom, a week he will use to re-evaluate his life.
While Micah is in the posh hotel with the full intent to find a guy and spend one week of debauchery, Liam maybe had not that idea at first, but as soon as he meets Micah, he changes plans. True Micah is not for one night stand, he goes more for romance and courtship and that is the end for their plans: Micah wants more from Liam, and Liam is not sure he is able to give him that.
There is a trend in romance for novels that make you dream; sure you are of the working class, you will never have the change to spend time in the hotels you read about in these stories, but nevertheless, you don’t want to read about how difficult is to pay the next bill, or the difficulties you will face if you fall in love for someone who lives on the other side of the country… you want to read of Micah and Liam’s trouble, trouble that will be solved in an heartbeat, as soon as Liam will find the courage to finally be the man he wants to be. Micah and Liam will not be touched by the ugliness of the world, and the happily every after will be there, waiting for them.

Hmm - this book was very lackluster for me. The potential was there because Micah was a very interesting character and his desire for a gentle relationship vs. the rough one night stand Liam was looking for endeared me to him. However, this book felt extremely rushed and I just didn't feel any relationship building at all. I don't want to give anything away but Liam's actions following their tryst just seemed like they weren't driven by emotion at all. It seems like his hand was a bit forced and his decisions weren't based on any deep connection with Micah. I just didn't feel anything strong between them. I think there could've been but it goes back to my opinion that everything was rushed. This is my second book by RJ Scott, my first being Christmas Throwaway. And again, my review is similar. Lots of potential - likable characters, but where's the story? It went from hello to HEA in 0 to 60. I actually couldn't believe I reached the end of the book. Unsatisfying. This may be my second and last attempt to read this author.

I only read this because both Goodreads and the description said it takes place partially in Rochester, New York and I'm a sucker for local books. Actually, it's set on the shores of Seneca Lake (judging by the name of Michah's winery), which is about 60 miles away from Rochester. *changes GR setting field* I could have forgiven this geographical error if only the writing wasn't so rushed and mediocre and Liam wasn't so uncomfortably coercive. ( Yikes.)

I purchased this novel on the strength of other novels by the same author. R J Scott writes romantic fiction in the M/M genre, and although I was initially suprised to discover RJ is a woman, a love story is a love story right? Regardless of the protagonists' sex.
This novel did not disappoint. I usually end up disappointed by the mojority of Gay fiction. Too much gratuitous sex, weak characters, poor story-line/plot. RJ never disappoints. Go for it girl! I'm popping into the Kindle store right now to buy another one of your novels.

So I think the thing that bummed me out the most about this book is the fact that it could have been pretty good if it had been longer - more complete. Not that it really left me hanging just unsatisfied. The way the story ended made the whole thing feel really beyond unrealistic. Maybe 100 more pages could have stretched it out and made it more heartfelt and real.
I liked both of the characters well enough - although Liam was annoying - I could imagine with some more time and story he could become quite loveable. There was so much potential and it just fell short of working for me.

I adored this book, I love plenty of angst, and RJ provides that especially in Liam, so conflicted and unhappy with whom he is, I really just wanted to wrap him up and tell him it could all be okay, the same with Micah.
I found this book a very satisfying read, it drew me in and wouldn't let go. I highly recommend it, well worth 5 stars

I love RJ Scott's books, nothing like a good HEA to start the day.
Two men meet, one in the closet and his inexperince he doesn't realize that 2 men can love and live HEA. The other man is out but has not found the love he so desires.
They meet on the beach......and you have to read to find out the rest.

2.5 This one was just ... unsatisfying. Parts of it were touching, but much of it involves being in one characters head or the other while they ruminate on their lives, and after a while it's a bit dull. The tentative beginnings of a relationship are sweet, but there's just not enough of it.

Why, at the very peak of orgasm, did Micah intrude with gentle kisses and his words of need?
All Liam knew was at the very end of it, sated and finally sleepy again, he wanted more, even though with Micah’s clear need for gentleness and affection, the other man’s gay was clearly as broken and inappropriate as his own
One Night by RJ Scott is a rewritten 2nd Edition release. It’s a beautiful story of two men walking different paths, coming together to find love.
Liam Wade is a wealthy widower with a three year old daughter, Emma. He’s deeply in the closet and can’t imagine any other way to live, can’t imagine a time when he could come out to his family. Liam’s life is split between Emma, his job as a corporate lawyer working for the family business, and his finance Leigh. Leigh knows Liam is gay but their marriage is like the dynastic marriages of old, a marriage of convenience, Leigh is everything his father thinks a successful businessman needs, beautiful, sophisticated, poised, a society wife, and she would be a mother to his Emma. Love has nothing to do with it. Liam thinks he can live like, this but he needs to be sure before he meets Leigh at the altar, so he takes himself away for a week to a beach front hotel to think, and decide. There he meets Micah Adamson, a wine grower attending the annual wine festival which is being held at the same hotel.
Micah Adamson runs a successful vineyard, he is mostly happy and content with his family and his grapes, but he longs to find that one special person, a lover who will complete him. Packed off to the annual wine festival by his meddling, but well-meaning sisters, Micah meets Liam. The two men are poles apart, everything they are, and everything they think is possible, is dramatically different. Micah believes in love, Liam doesn’t.
Can a one night stand lead to anything more? Can Micah risk giving his heart to Liam, and if he does will Liam crush it, or cherish it? Can a few days really change two people’s lives?
I adored Liam, he was lost, so unsure of what he wanted, and what he could have, believing that being gay only meant impersonal one night stands, just getting off, with no affection and intimacy. He was constantly at odds with himself, hiding behind family and duty, determined to ensure his daughter has everything she could want and desire, putting himself last as if his happiness was unimportant.
And Micah, so open, sweet and gentle, a total opposite to Liam. Micah is determined to show Liam that that two men can have it all, not just sex with love and affection, but a relationship too.
Together they just slotted in, like they were made for each other, two lost souls joining, initial lust and hard sex developing into so much more. The way their relationship started over the few days they had together was lovely to behold, I really felt I got to know and understand them, and then when misunderstandings and confusion threaten what they could have, I really wanted to weep for them both. The ending is almost a beginning, a new start, a chance to build a future, it was just perfect.
One Night is a beautiful retelling of the oldest romance story in the world, the meeting by chance of two people, from totally different walks of life, and how that meeting turns their lives upside down. Highly recommended if you love tortured souls coming out and believe love can triumph over everything else.

Micah is a workaholic who is bullied into taking a vacation/conference by his well-meaning family. Liam is taking a week for himself to be himself and to find himself away from the influence of his family.
Liam is positive that the only type of relationship that can happen between two men is hot, hard sex. He really does believe that he will never get the type of relationship that he craves and the security and family that his daughter needs with a man. Micah is tired of men who either want his money or think monogamy is over-rated.
I thought this story was incredibly touching as a father tries to do what is best for his daughter. You can feel his need to do right by his daughter; to give her the best upbringing that he can, even if it means that he sacrifices his own happiness. You feel incredibly sad for both these men as all they want is to be loved for themselves, not what they have or their name. The confrontation between Liam and his dad was good, very good and I was impressed that it was realistic without screaming matches or punches being thrown. I loved the ending because it’s not, ‘they throw their arms around each other and declare undying love for each other’, It’s a we’ll see how this goes but I hope it lasts forever.
It’s not a happy ever after… but it’s a beginning.

This was a good read but not one that will stick with me as much as RJ's other books. I felt a little ripped out emotionally because Micah and Liam didn't really have that "OMG I love you" moment and I wanted a little more of Micah's POV in general. Maybe I just needed it to be longer because I did really like both the MCs and the sweet little girl - the situation and plot was good, too - just needed more.

Micah owns his own vineyard and heads off to the convention for his week alone. Liam is loaded but he is escaping. Micah is drawn to Liam but he's not ready to just jump into anything either. Just as it seems to come together it really falls all apart. I like the fact that the story doesn't just make things easy. Liam really has shit he needs to deal with and isn't in a position to give Micah what he needs. It was interesting to see Liam stretch and grow.

2.5 stars.
I've liked some of her other works a lot more. I disliked Liam very very much, he was so, so... I don't know how to say it, but I couldn't relate at all.
Bubbles says pretty much what I think about it.

One Night by RJ Scott is a delightful story about self discovery. It is also the beginning of a promising new relationship between Micah Adamson and Liam Wade. To read this review in its entirety, please visit http://www.blackravensreviews.com/?p=...

I won this book... and I'm so proud to have an autograph and a dedication from an author.
