My One and Only Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
From the award-winning author of The Feral Detective and Motherless Brooklyn comes an utterly original post-collapse yarn about two siblings, the man that came between them, and a nuclear-powered super car.The Arrest isn’t post-apocalypse. It isn’t a dystopia. It isn’t a utopia. It’s just what happens when much of what we take for granted—cars, guns, computers, and airplanes, for starters—quits working. . . . Before the Arrest, Sandy Duplessis had a reasonably good life as a screenwriter in L.A. An old college friend and writing partner, the charismatic and malicious Peter Todbaum, had become one of the most powerful men in Hollywood. That didn’t hurt. Now, post-Arrest, nothing is what it was. Sandy, who calls himself Journeyman, has landed in rural Maine. There he assists the butcher and delivers the food grown by his sister, Maddy, at her organic farm. But then Todbaum shows up in an extraordinary vehicle: a retrofitted tunnel-digger powered by a nuclear reactor. Todbaum has spent the Arrest smashing his way across a fragmented and phantasmagorical United States, trailing enmities all the way. Plopping back into the siblings’ life with his usual odious panache, his motives are entirely unclear. Can it be that Todbaum wants to produce one more extravaganza? Whatever he’s up to, it may fall to Journeyman to stop him. Written with unrepentant joy and shot through with just the right amount of contemporary dread, The Arrest is speculative fiction at its absolute finest.

From the Back Cover

Abigail Lee, the beautiful assistant to Harrison Montgomery, walks into Ethan Maddux's law office. With obvious attraction, Ethan wonders what she could possibly be doing in here. But when Abigail tells him that Harrison is in trouble, and needs his help, what is Ethan suppose to do? Ethan hasn't talked to his father in years nor does he want to, and so he definitely doesn't want to help him save his business. Will this woman convince Ethan to help his father, salvage their relationship, and maybe create a new one of her own?

    5.0 out of 5 stars My One and Only
    Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2013
    Just wanted to inform the readership that the 1 star rated review is from another book with the same title by Kathleen O'Neal. The 1 star rated review has thrown off the percentage and I thought that wasn't fair. I haven't had a chance to read this title yet. But I did read the 2nd book that Mackenzie Taylor wrote "The Way You Look Tonight" which was great.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Seduction
    Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    A successful young man meets a beautiful young woman who is employed by the young man's estranged father. The young man is impressed and immediately begins an intensive wooing of the lady. A long and elaborate seduction takes place but in his investigation of the lady's past the young man turns up some interesting and worrying events. All appears to turn out nicelyand each becomes the "one and only" for the other. A warm and plausible love story and a good read.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Decently written but not a comedy & not very romantic
    Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2002
    I wish the publishers would stop giving cartoon covers to books which, like this one, aren't really comedies! As a light drama, however, this book is fairly satisfying. The hero is sexy and strong, the heroine appealing and strong, too. However, there is little sexuality. They hardly kiss until about the middle of the book, and when they have their first love scene, it isn't all that hot. The "mystery" isn't all that compelling, either, unfortunately. I think this book is good, but with some more work to turn up the intensity levels, it could have been great.

    4.0 out of 5 stars good light read
    Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2010
    The first 50 or so pages I thought this book reminded me of the earlier Jayne Ann Krentz books I love so much. Not quite there but I enjoy books that are a lighter read. The hero starts off as a ruthless businessman then the business part seems to fall to the side about halfway through the book. The woman isn't stupid or ditzy which I liked. there's a mystery of sorts going on but nothing too deep. just a decent light read.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Sex! Bondage! Feathers! Loins!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2004
    "Liquid heat flooded her loins."
    Do I have your attention? Valentine's Day might have passed, but it's not too early to harden your resolve to find romance by next year. And why not turn to the people who create the steamy affairs that have kept lonely people turning moist pages for years?
    That's right - romance novels.
    Katherine O'Neil's **My One and Only** is a typical romance novel, complete with the not-so-hot guy on the cover. What other literature genre could inspire "lust in the loins" of the main characters by page 21?
    Lust, apparently, is not the only thing to pop up early in the book. Observe:
    "As his fingers toyed with her, lust rendered her insensible. Her breath scorched her throat, sounding tumultuous in her ears. Sweet longing gripped her, making her burn with a fever she'd never known."
    And doesn't everyone burn with a fever when meeting someone for the first time?
    The plot of this book, as with most romance novels, does not need to be summarized. Why bother? O'Neal writes about her characters' affair in the early 1900s. The two have reunited after being kidnapped as children. Now, by some fluke, both are cat burglars. Who cares? The sex is good. The sex is so unbelievably good that the rest of the 325-page book scarcely matters.
    Sex is the main theme of My One and Only. It's also the best part.
    The first real sex scene occurs about a third of the way through the book. Lead heroine Kitty Fontaine (a virgin, of course) finds herself alone in a plane hangar with primary stud Max Aveli. And before you have a chance to turn the page, "Her scream ripped through the hangar."
    You guessed it: Fontaine's not a virgin anymore. And thank goodness, because without that sex, Fontaine never would have found herself in a "misty expanse of some higher consciousness."
    My One and Only has a few tips about how to excite the lover you already have:
    1. Dancing always works, and it does not matter if you don't know how. ("She felt a simmering in her loins that made her body move of its own accord").
    2. People like to be tied up - it's kinky. ("Pinning her to the carpet at the foot of the bed, he snatched up the discarded veil, using it to secure her ankle to the bedpost with swift tugs").
    3. Feathers might tickle, but they can also make you VERY happy. "The velvety tip of the feather teased her inner thigh until ripples of longing caused her legs to tremble").
    You'd be hard pressed to find any real educational value in My One and Only, but be reassured of one thing (again): The sex is good. Now go get it (some).

    4.0 out of 5 stars Exciting contemporary
    Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2002
    Over a decade ago Harrison Montgomery saved Abigail Lee's life when he provided her employment following the murders of her parents. Harrison's kindness enabled Abigail to keep her younger sister Rachel with her and she would do anything for her mentor and his family.

    However, the company is in trouble so Abigail turns to an international expert on saving failing businesses for help. She turns to Harrison's alienated illegitimate son Ethan Maddux just prior to the man flying to Prague for a conference. Neither father nor son look upon Abigail's request with favor as they have not spoken in two decades, but she continues her pursuit of saving the business and even more important: a reconciliation between the two. As Ethan and Abigail fall in love, he wonders if she really is his father's paramour, but his doubts don't stop him from needing to keep her safe when her life is threatened.

    This is a strong cast especially the dynamic secondary characters. The lead couple is a charming duo as Abigail is an intrepid individual while Ethan occasionally overplays the angst-laden family victim remains a viable delightful protagonist. The story line is fast-paced especially when the suspense of the who-done-it and doing-it kicks into full gear. Fans will enjoy MacKenzie Taylor's debut novel and want a sequel a few years into the future starring the heroine's sister (and a couple of nieces/nephews).
