One Night Standard

4/5

Coral is a performer who dresses as a mermaid, who got her own show in a hotel. MMC, a real estate developer is in trouble because of an interview. He's smitten with her since the moment they've met at the airport.

I enjoyed the book. The writing was a little corny at times, but it wasn't horrible. I liked the relationship between Coral and Jamie, even if the insta-love/insta-lust made my eyes roll. But I liked their banter. And the fact that the main character is a mermaid-performer? My inner child was screeching with excitement.

Honestly I was afraid this would have an open ending, since they didn't start to fake date until 52%, but I'm glad they figured their shit out and this book has a happy ending.

Thank you, NetGalley and Sugar Beaver Books for providing me the ARC for an honest review.
