Just One Moment by Stacey LynnMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
3.5 Stars to Stacey Lynn’s Just One Moment.
This is a story of pain, suffering, forgiveness, and ultimately love. The journey the main characters go on in this story is intense. Both Sarah and Lynx carry heavy weights on their shoulders, both clearly suffer from PTSD but try to keep it under wraps. Their relationship begins as a one-night stand because both are afraid to let anyone too close because they are under the belief that they will only bring pain to others. It takes sometime but the reader will find out the root of their issues.
I loved Lynx’s character, he was so steadfast against falling for anyone and yet when he meets Sarah even though he is scared he can’t keep himself away and he makes it his mission to make her fall for him.
I have mixed feelings about Sarah. She messed up big time when she was younger and it really impacted her life leaving lasting effects on her. I think that she didn’t have enough punishment for her actions and others were able to forgive her too easily but yet at the same time I think now that it is years later she beats up on herself way too much throughout the book but I guess that’s all in the grieving process and everyone grieves differently.
I enjoyed the ending of this book because I feel that Lynx and Sarah were deserving of one another. They complemented one another well and they were able to heal one another’s demons.
This book carries a heavy load of emotions with it. It’s a quick read but it’s not necessarily an easy one. The storyline is original and it’s well written but if you are someone who enjoys light fluffy romances this may not be the book for you.

EXCERPT:
“I was watching you, Saige. I enjoy watching you.” Maybe that was bold of me, but I don’t care.
She audibly gasps, her chest rising and falling with each quick breath she takes.
I fix my eyes on hers and continue. “And I saw you watching me.”
Her upper lip twitches as she thinks of a sarcastic comeback. I can see the vein in her neck throbbing, along with the beat of her pulse before she finally whispers, “We shouldn’t do this.” She pulls a green olive off the toothpick floating in her martini, then she pops it into her mouth. The green olive matches her eyes perfectly.
I watch her shift uncomfortably in her chair for a few seconds before I respond. “Why not?”
“Because you’re my boss.” So naïve, sweet little Saige is.
“I’m actually not,” I tell her.
She frowns. “You own the company I work for, same thing.”
I clarify, “I’m part owner of the company you work for.”
She sighs. “Holt, this is just drinks. That’s all.” But her eyes tell me she wants more.
I lean closer to her. “It’s never just drinks, Saige.”
