One cottage. Two strangers.
Every great love story starts somewhere…
Cleo writes about love stories every day. She just isn’t living one of her own.
When the editor of her dating column asks her to marry herself on a remote Irish island – a sensational piece to mark Cleo’s thirtieth birthday – Cleo agrees. She’s alone but not lonely, right? She can handle a solo adventure.
Cleo arrives at her luxury cabin to find a tall, dark, stubborn American who insists it’s actually his. Mack refuses to leave, and Cleo won’t budge either. With a storm fast approaching, they reluctantly hunker down together. It’s just one night, after all . . .
But what if one night on the island is just the beginning?
Following Cleo and Mack through heartbreak, self growth and friendship, One Night on the Island is an uplifting and immensely moving love story for fans of The Holiday, Lucy Diamond and Jojo Moyes.

We begin by following Cleo to a remote island on a self-devotion work assignment, which quickly becomes a disaster when it’s not quite secluded enough. After that, Cleo continues her journey of self-discovery and self-love, which is heart-warming in itself – especially the ‘wedding’ scenes. Still, there is a lot about relationships, love, micro love (which I love), sisterhood and fatherhood as well.
This is a natural feel-good island, welcoming al full of love with an incredible community, you’ll want to visit yourself before the end of the book!
The two main characters, Cleo and Mack, are both perfectly flawed. Both can be a little grumpy (can’t we all and especially in their situation) but also sweet and loveable. The whole book is full of loveable, kind, caring characters, though, aside from Mack’s ex-wife, whom I didn’t warm to at all.
I loved the ending; it wasn’t quite what I was expecting and didn’t happen as I thought it would or when I thought it would, but it was brilliant.
Overall, I loved this book. Josie Silver has an excellent talent for romance, which is another example of that. It’s an uplifting story full of emotion that feels like a big, warm hug on a cold day.
Heart-warming, this speaks to everyone in a relationship or not; romance is for everyone.
