One Summer Night

By: Gerri Hill

Narrated by: Abby Craden

College professor Johanna Marshall swore she would never fall in love again. She especially did not want to become involved with someone who has a reputation as an extreme womanizer...someone like Kelly Sambino.

But on a hot summer night, Jo finds herself unable to resist Kelly. What follows is something Jo would like very much to quickly forget. Embarrassed after their night of passion, Jo hopes she will never have to see Kelly again. Then, when Fall classes begin, Jo finds herself face to face with the college's new Literature Professor - Kelly Sambino.

Will Kelly's charms win Jo over? Will Jo listen to her friends or will she, in a moment of need, follow the stirrings in her heart?

Loved it

You can't go wrong with Gerri Hill and Abby Craden. My favorite duo. I love anything by Gerri.

Sweet romance

I love Gerri Hill books and Abby Craden does an excellent narration. I enjoyed this book and waited for Jo to figure herself out.

Separating lies from truth has never been sweeter!

OR spicier! Chemistry is a funny thing- it’s hard to see, understand or fully appreciate as a “concept” and it never lives up to the hype until it is fully experienced- both in and out of the bedroom! And then, it knocks you down, lifts you up, shoots you into heaven and brings you back to earth! It’s more that an “A-ha” moment, it’s an Oh my God, didn't know what I was missing, SPARK that ignites a fire across time and space, AND these characters have it! It’s experienced in tiny and big moments and realized with time and trust! Great supporting cast of characters and wonderful narration flesh out the story line. It’s so very tempting to make a joke about the lesbian with her finger in the… lets just say the dam, and when the “dam” breaks, it all comes pouring out in a great HEA! No, not saying another word- you have to read it to get the full story!

Falling in love can be scary

I loved everything about this story. I have listened to it numerous times and it never gets old. It is a story about being scared to love again after being hurt and having someone willing to be there despite their own feelings because their love for the other person is just that deep. Also it narrated by Abby Craden so how can it really go wrong?

So Close to a Great reas

ended to swiftly. Their just needed to be a few more pages. After all they had been through, a little more reward would have been grand

Originally published in 2000

I enjoyed this book a lot but could tell it was older based on the lack of mobile phones and texting and social media. I thought putting this out there would let someone listen without wondering if they missed the setting.

Can’t push love away forever

Gerri Hill expertly reveals the fears and insecurities of college professor Johanna Marshall who refuses to fall for athletic, sexy, womanizer Kelly Sambino,

What’s worse, fall semester begins and Kelly is announced as a new member of the college faculty. Kelly and Jo are drawn to one another like a moth to a flame. But Jo won’t let herself get close enough to Kelly to explore a deeper relationship.

Are Kelly’s feelings for Jo real or is it just a physical thing pulling them together? Will Jo abandon Kelly to avoid being vulnerable? Let the dance begin…

This was a sweet, steamy and challenging HEA. And you can’t go wrong when Abby Craden brings the story to life!

Absolutely Beautiful!

Nothing left to be said! But since there is a word requirement, I loved it!

A Main Character That….

A main character that is weak and undecided, can only be redeemed by the woman who loves her.
Joanna (Jo) has been burnt by love, and therefore decides she will never fall in love again.
Along comes Kelly, a new instructor at the same college Jo teaches at, and a star softball player on Jo’s friends’ team.
Kelly is gorgeous with a bad girl reputation.
She falls deeply in love with Jo, who pulls her close, then pushes her away. Strong, lovely Kelly always honors whatever way Jo’s mood is taking her. It’s okay to be in love one day, but the next, Jo is telling Kelly she “can’t do this”
I lost count of how many times this push/pull happens. It’s
enough that the character of
Jo becomes extremely unlikeable.
One thing that is a reoccurrence in almost all of Hill’s work,is that the MC’s always have sex immediately after a traumatic event ie: death, assault etc. The sex scenes are almost the same reading every.single. time.
Abby Crayden’s performance and the character of Kelly, kept me plowing through this. If not for them, I wouldn’t have finished.
If repetitive sex scenes, and a whiny, exasperating MC is your jam, then you’ve just found your next great read!

One Summer Night 🔥❤️

This one was angsty! Johanna was a mess, but insecurity can really mess with a person. Bless Kelly's heart for being so patient. She took care of Jo, no matter what. They were really hot together... it was spicier than usual🌶🥵🔥

Even with Johanna dealing with her roller coaster of emotions, this was still a good book. I enjoyed it ☺️
