Francesca finds herself as a temporary PA for a mega pop star and on her way to Italy. Surely she can keep the music diva on schedule for five days, right? Not so fast. This has some Cinderella elements and I loved the way Kelk told this lovely tale with so much humor while modelling some excellent coping skills. You might find this to be a self-help title as well. And get ready for some tall, dark, and handsome. . . This is the romance you need in your 2022. Trust me. You will love it!

What a feel good book! I adored Lindsey Kelk's "I heart" series and this book was just as wonderful: equal parts funny to feel good. The protagonist Fran finds herself in a bit of a rut: her 12 year relationship with Stew has gone stagnant, he wants he to give up on assistant work that she adores and become a teacher, settling for the life they have. He refused to discuss it further. Fran finds herself out of work before Christmas and offered a 5 day PA role to a celebrity. With no opportunity to speak to Stew, an NDA signed, and she is whisked on a flight to Naples and launched onto a billionaire's yacht with the star of the moment Juliette. Of course, it is not plain sailing and she finds herself stranded in Panarea and hijacking the exclusive Crystal Ball in a stunning gown and trainers, Cinderella-esque. Throw in a dashing handsome male and the workings are there for a beautiful rom-com. However, the real focus is on Fran finding her own path- giving up the continuous self sacrifice of her own life to meet the needs of those around her and finally following her own path; and of course in forging strong female friendships that help raise you up. The handsome billionaire is a great bonus though! #OnANightLikeThis #LindseyKelk #Netgalley

A lovely rich man, poor girl romance with a famous singer and an exclusive ball thrown in for good measure, that’s without mentioning a mishap involving a cat. This novel is not very deep reading but does give some layers to people. I found the characters very easy to empathise with and it’s in true Lesley Kelk style.

Lindsey Kelk is honestly just the gift that keeps on giving. I absolutely devoured this book and read it at every opportunity I could get! I loved how this book captured so many different stories- The character development of Fran of course, but also of Juliette and Sarah. The tale of friendship, and of course the romance! As always; I loved Kelk’s humour and it had me chuckling at several points in the book. I wish there was a bit more of Evan and I really do hope there is an opportunity for a sequel of this book! 😍

A Cinderella retelling and romantic comedy at full blast, with a make up artist that just does her magic and transforms our heroine in the main character of any play, and so many laugh out loud moments that my face hurt and had to take a break from it.
It’s a slower start as we get to know a bit more about these characters and their life but it’s so worth it to keep reading because in no time I was drawn into this beautiful story.
I loved other books by the author and I’m looking forward to more in the future. She’s becoming one of my must read authors.

I adored this book and it was just what I needed right now. I just love Lindsey Kelk’s books and this is definitely up there with my favourites. I absolutely love the cover aswell it’s so beautiful.

On a Night Like This is such a warm hearted read and it definitely had me in stitches in parts😅 I loved Fran as a character, everyone needs a friend like Jess and of course I loved Evan.

I’d love if this was a start of a new series as I know I would 100% read a follow up book for sure. I can’t wait for Lindsey Kelk’s next book that is being released just before Christmas, I may have sneakily preordered it

An easy read which had me snorting with laughter at points but at other points was really quite thought provoking. I raced through this in one sitting.

My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book in return for an honest review.

3.5 stars

A fun and frivolous read that whisks you from away reality to a romantic and hilarious night at the ball.

And between all the laughs is a lovely main character who is great at assisting other people with their problems while ignoring the mess her own life has become.

Until a new job forces her to re-examine everything.

I always enjoy Lindsey Kelk books, this was no exception. Recommended if you want a light-hearted and fairy-tale like read.

Lindsey Kelk solidifies herself as one of my favorite authors with On A Night Like This!

This book radiates humor, romance, friendship, and, best of all, cheese. I adored every part of this book, from Fran’s drunken Truth or Dare game with Juliette to the soda run in with dreamy Evan, the equally dreamy ball and everything in between. I especially loved when Rachel did Fran’s makeup and snuck her into the Crystal Ball- girl power to the max! The author easily weaves a story that had me hooting with laughter and feeling chills as I fell love with the story as Fran and Evan fell in love with one another.

One other note- so true that most “grand gestures” hide the fact that it’s too bloody expensive to afford a grand gesture and no one shows you scrolling through the cheapest flights. Ha! Well done, Lindsey Kelk!

I loved this modern and fresh Cinderella style story! What a fantastic book just to escape away into. A really lovely romantic read. It wasn't too unpredictable which some romance books can verge into.

Fun, entertaining read. From the streets of Sheffield to super yachts to exclusive parties! Fabulous settings and hilarious story telling. Really enjoyable and a breath of fresh air to meet some new sparkly characters. A proper lose yourself in the pages book. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Thank you Netgalley

Pour a glass of your favourite drink, grab a blanket and get cosy because you’ll be in it for the duration once you start this book! This book SPARKLES from the first pages right up until the last. But not too much. Although can you ever have too many sparkles? Anyway… it really does! It was warm, hilarious, heart-breaking, emotional, real and… just everything that Lindsey Kelk is becoming so widely loved for.

It’s a modern day Cinderella but that doesn’t fairly summarise everything that this book is about. You really have to dive in to find out more but it has a little of everything and is truly magical.

This is truly a modern-day Cinderella story.

Fran finds herself falling into a job quite unexpectedly, she had not planned on travelling for work anymore, but the offer was too good to refuse and she finds herself in the middle of a celebrity lifestyle she doesn’t belong in.

Whilst trying to tame the diva she is tasked with assisting; Fran finds herself inadvertently going to the ball and stepping into a life that isn’t quite her own where she stumbles across Evan (although not for the first time) and they spend the evening enjoying each other’s company, but they are from completely different worlds and life cannot be that easy, can it?

A pleasant and magical Cinderella themed tale - I felt it was a bit different from Lindsey's usual style.

Lindsey Kelk can literally do no wrong with her books, can she? This was a magical and gorgeous fairy-tale, with a dose of reality and all the swoon-worthy moments. I am a sucker for a Cinderella re-telling, so had the absolute time of my life reading this one.
