The Night

Love in O'Leary, Book 5

De: May Archer

Narrado por: Michael Pauley

One night, in Vegas, I gave him my heart. One day later, he broke it.

Look, I’ve never claimed to be a nice guy. I don’t do pretty words, I don’t give polite smiles, and I refuse to be sucked into the sappy bucket of sentimentality that is Christmas in small-town O’Leary. Smiling neighbors, overly decorated trees, a town parade, a Santa contest? Ho ho no. I do shifts as a firefighter, and I go home alone.

I fell into the trap once - that stupid night in Vegas - of believing there was more out there for me. I took a chance on a guy with magical green eyes and a gorgeous smile. The next day, Liam McKnight was gone. He took my heart with him, and left his wedding ring behind.

Except, now, my once-upon-a-time husband has reappeared with a kid in tow, and there are carols, lights, and cookies everywhere I turn. And worst of all, the spark between us burns brighter than ever because whatever happened in Vegas definitely didn’t stay there.

Liam came to town looking for an ending, but what’s building between us feels an awful lot like a beginning. Too bad it’s going to take more than a dozen interfering O’Learians to convince me to take a second chance on heartache, on love...and on us.

Please note: While The Night is very much Liam and Gideon's story, characters from past books do make an appearance, and you'll enjoy the book exponentially more if this isn't your first trip to O'Leary.

Fabulous book!

There is a secondary issue, the arguments between the two main characters, and the third person. There is a different argument going on, between the third person and a friend of his. Until they enter the bakery and all heck breaks loose between the men in question.

Think Hallmark original with a R rating

“The Night” is a adorable delight! If you’re looking for a low angst, but just enough to wet your appetite; happily ever after this is the romcom for you. Firstly, the townsfolk sold me on this book! I mean who doesn’t love a town full of screamers just trying to help a friend find love. They are a genuinely hilarious bunch, and the main characters were both interesting enough that I was invested in them. The voice acting is varied enough to distinguish everyone. I loved it

Magic of a small town

Great narration by Michael Pauley. Sexy times, funny and no angst second chance romance. Perfect for those that love Hallmark Christmas movies.

All the swoons and the heat from Gideon and Liam

I just loved Gideon and Liam’s fa la la-ing second chance story. It’s one of those books that you dive in head first and stay completely absorbed in until the very last word. And oh the feels. Phew - this book has all of them- laughing, crying, sighing, groaning, teeth gritting, and swooning. Gideon is a grumpy firefighter in quirky small town O’Leary. Liam is a professional photographer and single father to Hazel. Five years ago, after a magical intense two day fling in Vegas, Liam and Gideon got married. Liam disappeared without explanation the next morning. Now Liam, with Hazel in tow, has tracked down Gideon in O’Leary to get divorce papers signed. Thus begins the adorable, hilarious and swoon worthy journey to their HEA. The story included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters who grow, and an engaging storyline. It was filled with all the sweet moments, painful pasts, steamy scenes, quirky townsfolk, supportive family and friends, small town goodness, character growth and missteps, fun, hilarity, healing, and love. Plus, Hazel was such a wonderful and integral addition to the story rather than a flimsy story prop, I loved her character and her interactions with everyone else. I cannot wait to read who’s next in O’Leary.

Michael Pauley did a phenomenal job narrating the story and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly.

A Hallmark worthy Holiday Romance!✨

This was an amazing addition to the series.
It is the fifth book in the Love in O'Leary series and I recommend listening to this in the series order for maximum enjoyment since characters from previous book make a special appearance as well.

This was a sweet, second chance, soulful Christmas romance.

The romance was Hallmarkish perfect!
I loved Gideon in the previous books and was excited when he got his own story.

Overall a cute magical Holiday romance with fun, cheer and heart.

Michael Pauley's narration and audio was so soothing and brilliant.
