Blurb:
From USA Today bestselling author, A.M. Hargrove, comes One Indecent Night (A West Sisters Novel #1) a new stand alone, friends to lovers, contemporary romance. This is the first in a spin-off series from The West Brothers Novels. You do not have to read any of The West Brothers Novels to enjoy this book.
The day I saw Sylvie West standing next to the bride,
something moved in me I was certain had died.
I’d known her since she was a pain-in-the-ass kid, but she was my best friend’s cousin,
and off limits.
He also told me he’d strangle me if I ever laid a hand on her.
When she downed tequila like water at the reception, and then danced on the table, all bets were off.
She was my kind of woman, and forbidden or not, I was going to make her mine.
Only when morning broke, I woke up to a different Sylvie—one who didn’t remember a single thing about the passion-filled night we’d shared.
Now, I had to prove I was the one who was meant for her.
After she put up one obstacle after another, the time had come to pull every trick out of my hat.
And Sylvie had no idea I was one tricky bastard.
But the last thing I ever expected was for her to turn the tables and play the final trick on me.

I've read all the stories about the West Brothers and I couldn't wait to see what life (and love) had in store for their sister. Considering the prologue I expected a lot of fun and there was a lot of that too but on the whole, it was a bit different than I expected. There were a lot of things happening in this book and sometimes I even felt a bit overwhelmed by it. At every turn, there was something else happening, very often something potentially life-altering and intense and I tried to keep up with it.
Evan and Sylvie had their issues and their personal histories to overcome and sometimes that backfired. A lot. Add some meddling siblings and cousins, a whole string of unexpected events and twists and turns and sometimes I felt as if I had loved to get to know our hero and our heroine a bit better instead of rushing with them from place to place.
Don't get me wrong, Evan was sweet and kind and I loved how he cared for Sylvie but it was a bit hard to learn more about him, especially as it was not really palpable what changed him and made him give up his womanizing ways. Sylvie on the other hand, well, she kept him on his toes and made him work for it. She wasn't someone who simply fell for him just because he decided that he wanted to spend his life with her even though she felt a lot for him either.
While everything that is happening and keeping them running around makes it a bit hard to really connect, to feel with the characters (you will still need tissues, trust me), you just have to envy them their family and the way those people stick together and are there for each other - even if their meddling can drive you crazy. Or result in a trip to the hospital...
