Chalice's Reviews > Grant: One Night with a Billionaire

2.5 stars

The couple: Grant and Eliza

Romance trope: second chance
Series: One Night
Length: 48 pages

Plot: Grant and Eliza were a sure thing back in high school, but he left her without a word, feeling the need to seek a life beyond his small hometown. For twelve years she's been pining for him, never getting over him and the love they shared. Now he's back to visit his family, and she's determined to get the answers she needs.

Commentary: I feel like there was never really a good explanation for why Grant left and not a good grovel either. Eliza deserved more than she got in both respects.

Twelve long years of wondering what I’d done wrong faded into the background. The whole time I thought I’d chased his demons away, he’d been battling them in secret.

His "demons" were pretty much normal everyday fears and insecurities - problems that almost every single person ever suffers from. There was nothing, in my opinion, that necessitated him ditching Eliza the way he did.

Next book in the series: Owen: One night with a Cowboy
