4.5 stars
WHAT? A Cliffhanger!! 😫
This is a prequel novella to the full-length book, “The Reunion” coming out February 22, 2022.


  Cooper
 is single after a divorce and his parents decide to take him out to find a new girl to get into cohorts with. Isn't that just fun having your parents be your wingman and try to set you up with a date out on the town? HAHA


  Nora
 is a bakery shop owner—she took the shop over from her parents who were able to keep the business afloat with their companionship, and they believe it is time she found a companion for herself (to only help the business of course *wink wink*).

GUESS WHAT?! Both Nora and Cooper end up going to the same bar. Nora to simply get some alone time to decompress from bridezillas at her bakery shop and Cooper sadly tagging along with his parents on their efforts of embarrassment—eh hem, I mean efforts to be matchmakers. Well, they truly are because they go right up to Nora, which OH! How surprising, they know Nora as she is a longtime family friend but also the best friend to Cooper's ex-wife! How do you think this will go?

This was incredibly cute and funny. I myself kept getting secondhand embarrassment and annoyance over the parents of both parties because well, they reminded me of my own in a way. The attraction between Cooper and Nora was impeccable and I couldn't help but root for them. And based on its ending, I'm soooo eager to see how their story will unfold in the next book.

This was a fun glimpse into Cooper’s “one night” with Nora, one year before The Reunion took place. I really enjoyed getting the inside scoop on how exactly Cooper’s parents became his wingman and their chance encounter with Nora, a woman Coop has known most of his life, who is also his ex-wife’s best friend. Cooper and Nora’s storyline was one of my favorites from The Reunion, the “grumpy-sunshine” couple, so this was a great follow up after finishing The Reunion.

Thank-you NetGalley and Montlake for the chance to read this ahead of publication in exchange for an honest review.
I've been not so patiently waiting for the release of The Reunion seriously I can't wait!
So having a little tease like this is wonderful! But also I need The Reunion NOW!

The One Night is cute a short read that takes place before The Reunion it has us getting to know our two leads, it's great and I loved it! It gives us a little more info going into the story.
I loved Cooper's parents they were hilarious! Talk about match makers!

I really liked Cooper, he has the makings of a great Husbandoo but I can't be sure just yet.
Specially because of that ending. I'm sure he will redeem himself.

Nora was fun and likable. I liked that she didn't overthink as much as a lot of other characters would have. I can't wait to learn more about her!
I was going to post my review today since it was the date of release and later do the audiobook but since it was only 2hr an narrated by Teddy Hamilton. I knew I had to listen to it right away!

Narration:
The narration for this was so spot on!
You can't wrong with Teddy Hamilton he's always so fun to listen to!
He was a really great Cooper. & his work as his parents was just so great!

This is my first time listening to Laurie West and I was really happy with her portrayal of Nora!
She hit all the right emotional beats and her tone when she voiced Cooper in her chapters was great.

Overall this novella was cute and fun you can always count on Meghan Quinn to bring on the laughs and the steam even in a novella! I cant wait to see what happens to these two in The Reunion!
