 The One is truly an erotic thriller. Searching for the truth behind the death of her parents, equestrian Adelia Lindstrom is thrown in to the path of investor Miles Bremen. As soon as Miles meets Adelia, he is convinced that she is the one woman for him, and as a man who is used to getting what he sets his mind to, he seeks to prove to Adelia that she was meant to be his. With a whirlwind courtship taking place from the valleys of California, to the horse farms of rural Pennsylvania, to the panoramic coast of Italy, their romance is intense and...odd. Why is his sister on their honeymoon with them??? 
 I have to say that I'm not entirely sure that I liked Miles. From the beginning, his actions seemed suspect to me, and the attraction between him and Adelia did not appear to be genuine; it seemed rushed and forced. As the story progressed, I did grow to appreciate both Miles and Adelia and their feelings for one another, but I'm a sucker for an HEA, so I suppose I wanted them to immediately be giving off vibes that each other was indeed "the one". 
 My feelings for the main characters aside, The One was truly a page-turner. The story was well written and suspenseful. The scenes between Miles and Adelia were sexy and erotic, and as their relationship grew, you could feel the passion between the two of them escalating. 
 The only complaint I have about the story itself is that I thought this would be a complete novel rather than just "part one". However, it was substantial enough of a read in length that I didn't feel as if I just bought one chapter of a larger book. Instead, it was merely the first act and now I have reached intermission. I enjoyed this book immensely and I am actively waiting for the next installment to be released so I can find out the truth behind the murder of Adelia's parents, and what the future holds for Miles and Adelia.
