One night 4 years ago made a difference in their lives.
For Lucien that night was unreal. For Eva it made a difference between life and death.
Just one night changed their lives…
When Spanish émigré Eva Galante meets French aristocrat Lucien Capet, it’s love at first sight. But their meeting isn’t by chance, and Eva isn’t who Lucien believed her to be. After a whirlwind romance and a flight to Gretna Green, Lucien learns the truth about what loving Eva could cost him.
A single betrayal tore them apart…
Four years later, Eva is London’s most sought-after modiste and Lucien is now Marquis de Touraine, about to become engaged to Eva’s best client—as long as he’s not still married to Eva! Confronting their past means a journey across England to the Scottish border. With each mile memories are raised, and passions reignited, sparking one last night together. Or so they think...
Can a second chance reunite them forever?
But the past isn’t ready to give up its secrets just yet. As Lucien and Eva confront an old foe, new truths are revealed… and a deeper understanding of each other that love-at-first-sight never gave them. Despite the betrayals of the past, feelings are rekindled that were never quite extinguished. Will one last secret pull them apart—or bind them together forever?
This book by Sophie Darling is a poignant and great story!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley. This in no way affects my opinion of this book which I read and reviewed voluntarily.

I am always excited to read a new Sofie Darling book, so I jumped @ the chance to read an advance copy of One Night His Lady. I was once again introduced to characters I’d met earlier in the Shadows & Silk series. If you haven’t had the chance to read the other books in the series, don’t worry. This holds up as a stand alone, but it will likely leave you wanting to read the others when you finish!
This is a story of love @ first sight that happens @ the most inopportune time. Both characters are caught up in circumstances that make staying together next to impossible. When Eva & Lucien meet again years later, they not only don’t trust, but incorrectly blame each other for their separation. I don’t want to give up a word of the missing puzzle pieces they discover along the way to forgiveness, but suffice to say there’s plenty of mystery, love, & angst along the way. This is definitely a page turner with intriguing secrets revealed, & interesting characters I found easy to root for from the very beginning.
I received an advance copy of this book via NetGalley & am happy to leave this voluntary review.

I was hooked from the first page, well actually not true from the first time I saw the cover. It didn't let me down or I should say Sofie Darling did not disappoint in her story telling so beautifully written. I loved everything about it from the plot to the characters and the emotion filled story. It was passion and angst driven, a love at first sight that is ruined by betrayal. Four years later, Lucien and Eva weave their way back to each other in a complicated, searing and passionate way that left me savouring every moment. This was a glorious happily ever after, one of the best I've read in a long while.

When Spanish émigré Eva Galante first meets French aristocrat Lucien Capet, it is love at first sight. However, their romance and marriage is short lived, when Lucien discovers that Eva may not be all that he once believed. Four years later and now a popular modiste, Eva discovers that her husband Lucien, is soon to be engaged to one of her clients. When they meet again, they realise that they must track down their marriage papers if they are to have a future apart. However, as they travel across England, they realise that their feelings have not faded, but can their secrets ever allow them to have a future together.
This is a book full of passion, with two very headstrong characters. Neither would budge from their initial beliefs of the other but as the story progressed, it was fascinating to see that their feelings could finally help them overcome past hurts. Whilst Eva was determined to not relent, Lucien was persistent in his pursuit – thank goodness!
Whilst this is part of a series, having not read any of the previous books, it is definitely a stand alone book. However, I will definitely be looking out for previous and future books.

Wow! One Night His Lady is a spectacular historical romance by Sofie Darling. Ms. Darling has provided readers with a well-written book. The characters only add to the quality of this story. Eva made the mistake of eloping with a man she only knew a few days, and abandoned the day after the vows. Lucien believes Eva was working with his enemy and left the marriage bed and her in it. They meet again 4 years later and the fire is still there, but so many secrets. Lucien and Eva's story is packed with drama, intrigue, sexy bits, humor, action and suspense. I loved this book and look forward to reading more from Sofie Darling soon. One Night His Lady is book 6 of the Shadows and Silk Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliffhanger.

This book was fun, but also very frustrating for me. My biggest issue when it comes to romances is when entire plots are based around one person not telling the other person something - it's a common trope, and when executed well, it works, but other times, it just becomes repetitive. Unfortunately, a lot of One Night His Lady revolves around three secrets that could make the characters' lives easier (and the book shorter) if they simply told each other the truth.

I enjoyed the back and forth between the hero and heroine in this story, I especially loved that neither was English, but I would have loved more backstory and how their respective pasts influence them. You get a decent amount from the hero but the heroine comes from Spain, had a very complex backstory, and is Jewish, but these hardly get much attention. Instead, a good portion of time is spent on tertiary characters who I assume are part of future books or past books in this series, but don't really have any bearing on this novel.
