I really loved this book so much and read in within 16 hours. It is such a quick read and this is in part to both the writing style and also the characters who made it. I loved the cast of characters who Laura Henry has introduced me to and want to have more of this story and see what happens further on in their love story. I love that this is a queer romance which is the first one that I have read where the whole cast of characters are LGBTQ and it has been refreshing to read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!

This was a sweet, addictive lgbtq+ romance. The characters also definitely come with some baggage so be ready for a bit of drama! The tension was just right in this story, and I’d say the spice is about 3/5 peppers. There are a couple tropes that are spoilerish but if forbidden love (ish) is your jam this may be a pleasant surprise for you. 3.75 stars rounded to 4.

Wonderfully spicy right from the start, and there's even a bit of Christmas thrown in there too! I did get a bit confused between the two POVs at times as they didn't feel hugely distinct, but that's probably a "me" problem lol. Overall I'd definitely recommend this LGBT romance and I'm looking forward to more books from this author.

A bit of a slow burn for me. Had high hopes but DNF around half way.
It could hit home for some people though!

This book was so much fun, it was spicy, it had me laughing out loud , not just a loud nose exhale, it had miscommunication, but also really good communication, wonderful sisterly bonds, takes place in the amazing Colorado, and it was WLW. AMAZING

Audrey-a put together, business consultant, BAMF, amazing singer, wine connoisseur

Toni- a fucking hot granola gay, who has an amazing business venture for their family company, and jumps off cliffs

Willa- Audrey's twin, comedian, plant mom, baby bi

Greta Toni's older sister, possible baby bi, ice queen, prankster

Greta and Toni hire a business team to help grow their families multi-million dollar business. Of course they chose Audrey who unknowingly hooked up with Toni and had a God honest religious moment (get it lol) two days before. How will they survive the next 6 months? Idk (well I mean I do know, but you should find out)

Honestly a really great way to start off my holiday reading (I didn't even realize it was going to be Christmas centric, but I sure am glad for it)

Audrey is just getting out of an abusive relationship when she sleeps with Toni-- what's meant to be a hot one night stand turns into something else when it turns out the company she is starting a contracting position with is Toni's family's business.

I quite enjoyed this! I always love a one night stand turns into workplace romance plot book. It was a fun, steamy, and relatively light read. The characters were well-written with great chemistry. I was concerned about the element of the plot where Audrey was just getting out of a relationship, but the book addressed this fairly decently (although I still thought they could have taken things a bit slower!)

The miscommunication trope is in dire need of retirement. Authors, let it go! I don't care how realistic it is, it makes me cringe every time. This was okay, nothing special.

This was an incredibly enjoyable experience with a unique and easy readible writing style. The dual POV helps get into the minds of our main characters, which is always a bonus in this genre.
Highly recommend for a cozy read.

this book sounded good & i’m sure it is a fun read that i would enjoy i just cant get past the writing style. i’ve found it very difficult for me to pick up the book.

I really enjoyed this book! I devoured it in one day and barely put it down, it was such a fast and easy read. It has a dual POV of the main characters, Audrey and Toni which I liked because I was able to see what the other was thinking. I liked Toni more than Audrey but loved their connection and thought it was a great read with some humour and drama. I also loved Willa and Greta and wish that I got more of them.
I don't usually mind the typical '3rd act breakup trope' if it is done well but this one all came down to their lack of communication skills which annoyed me a little bit.
Overall this is a really good and fun sapphic romance and I would love to read more of the author's work.

As soon as I started reading, I realised I'd already listened to the story, which was released in 2021, in audiobook, under the title Hold Me Closer, Toni Danzig. I wish this have been mentioned somewhere, as I wouldn't have requested this book. But since I did, here's the review I wrote in 2021:
3.5⭐️ – I had things to do around the house and needed a short audiobook to keep me company, and I remembered someone recommending this one on Facebook (I don’t remember who it was but thank you). It’s included in the Audible Plus subscription.

Most grand gestures aim at getting the girl, but who said you can’t break up with one too? Toni is DJ-ing karaoke at her friend’s bar when Audrey asks for the greatest break-up song of all time. Audrey is usually reserved when she comes to the bar, and Toni has always thought she was intriguing but never talked to her. When Audrey slays her performance then runs away, Toni follows to make sure she’s okay. Coffee turns into a wild night of sex (you’ll have to trust the author on that, it’s all fade to black). When they meet again unexpectedly in a professional setting, Audrey can’t help but reconsider her decision to only have a one-night stand with Toni, while Toni’s sister reminds her over and over she needs to keep it professional for the sake of the family business.

Okay, this novella was extremely sweet and funny (I love both sisters). I don’t often enjoy dual narration, and I’m still not sure why authors/publishers choose it, but I liked both narrators, Lori Prince as usual and Suehyla El-Attar who is a new narrator for me, despite the foreign accents being a tad forced. An enjoyable listen before Christmas.

A lesbian short romcom with Hallmark movie vibes. Nothing deep, nothing super posh or literary, just good old cringe, sexual tension and unrealistic scenarios. It's just fun!

This was a bit too insta love for me. However, I did enjoy the dual POV. Overall, I wasn’t very invested in the characters relationship or the outcome of the story.

Thanks kindly to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was one of a series of romcom books I was reviewing so in that context, About Last Night was an okay read. I liked that it featured a queer romance but felt the spicy language felt more forced than authentic. Overall it felt a little meh - certainly wasn't one I devoured quickly - just kept going hoping it would get better.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and it definitely won’t be my last. I thought it's was a cute and endearing queer romcom with both spice and plot. It gave me what I'm after in a romance, I would happily read more by this author.

I loved the beginning of this book. It started off strong with the one night stand and like 3 chapters of spice. I even loved when the next day she finds her one night stand at her new job. The writing was great and the story was interesting but it lost me in the last 30%.

things I didn't like:
- the miscommunication trope
- the lack of spice until the very end
- how we never get a conclusion with Audrey's crazy ex

Yall I wanted to love this one. I really did. But after the first 20% it just dragged. I picked it up and put it down no less than five times. Unfortunately this one just wasn't for me.

🌟🌟/5

I received an advanced copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture, and Laura Henry. ❤️

This novel tells the story of Audrey, a girl who, from the very beginning, we see is going to leave her current partner because she is in a toxic relationship. While her sister is emptying the apartment where she lived with her ex, Audrey goes to the bar they used to visit and sees her ex enter with another girl in a romantic way. Upon seeing this, she gets on stage and sings a breakup song. As she leaves, the DJ follows her, and they go out for dinner, later ending up at her place. But the last thing Audrey wants right now is a relationship, and she makes it clear to Toni: it was just a one-night thing, and it's over.

But when Monday comes, and Audrey and her sister arrive at the new company that has hired them, she can't believe the first thing she does is run into the person she least expected to see... and everything that follows.

This is a book with strong and well-developed characters. However, one of our protagonists exhibits some very "red flag" behaviors, and while the book addresses these, I think it's important to mention, as every relationship resolves differently, but it’s also crucial to know how to manage these situations.

An entertaining book that reads quite quickly, where we get to know two completely different families. I really liked how it portrays these two perspectives on life, their family, and personal situations. We get Audrey's point of view, as I mentioned, she has just come out of a toxic relationship, and then there's Toni, a girl who has always been with people for just one night and not in relationships.

I really enjoyed this sapphic romance. The characters were interesting and unique and the storyline was interesting. The sexy scenes were hot!! I can’t wait to read the next one in the series.

Cute romance! Characters are fun, side characters as well! I also enjoyed the storyline. I did feel it was all moving really fast, and that there were not a lot of cutesy fluff moments. This is however a personal preference.

Thank you to netgalley and the author for sending me the book in exchange for an honest review
