One Fine Night: A Special Ops Scots Prequel

By: Kait Nolan

Narrated by: Amy McFadden, John Lane

As a Royal Marine, I've taken on countless missions, but navigating life as a civilian might be the biggest challenge of all. I need to stay focused and figure out what the hell I'm doing with this early retirement. Then she crosses my path. A stranger on a train, she instantly captures my imagination. A beautiful, vibrant distraction I didn't know I needed. And maybe something more...When my charming companion faces unwanted advances, I step in, pretending to be her boyfriend. But the connection between us is too real to be an act.

What might have been only a brief encounter turns into an unforgettable night as we both find far more than we were looking for, if only we both have the courage to hold on.

Great story and narration

This is the prequel to Kait Nolan’s latest series and I cannot wait to see what she has in store.

This is Alex Conroy an ex Royal Marine and student Ciara’s story who fate puts together.

This was a well written story that drew me in and kept me invested from the first chapter to the last.

Although a novella Ms. Nolan manages to give us a well developed story with characters you cannot help but fall for.

The narration by John Lane and Amy Mc Fadden was great. Their accents were spot on and they brought the characters to life with their performances.

Ciara and Alex

The prequel to Special Ops Scots and if this is what the main book will be like I will be reading or listening to it. Ciara and Alex meet on a train and hit it off really well, in this steamy short story. He is in for a surprise when he goes with a friend to his friend's parents and sees her picture on the wall. The story ends right there. I enjoyed listening to Amy McFadden, John Lane narrate this story.

Not a fan of the heavy fake accent

Somehow, the accent doesn’t match the writing. Somehow, this doesn’t seem to be written by somebody who has a grasp on British or Scottish culture. As for the narration, I understand the performers’ need to be authentic but it is too much and requires too much concentration to be enjoyable. I listened to books narrated by Scotts and they can be very enjoyable, authentic, without being so heavily accented. The female narrator sounds terribly fake.

The story is probably only interesting if you already read the follow up. On its own it is not that good.
