Thank you Net Galley for this amazing ARC!

I truly enjoyed this little sapphic read. So much so, in fact, that I finished it in a day…

This a fun, fast paced, sweet, and dare I say, sexy, story. I highly, highly recommend.

I’m so happy to have been approved for this ARC and just in time for pride month!

Audrey Adams, fresh from a dramatic breakup, unexpectedly encounters Toni, the woman she had a memorable night with, at her new job, only to find out Toni is the head of a different department within the company. Despite Audrey’s resolve to avoid romance, the undeniable chemistry between them and Toni’s irresistible charm make her question her no-dating-at-work rule.

So, full disclaimer here: about two years ago, I listened to this awesome Audible exclusive short story called Hold Me Closer, Toni Danzig by (you guessed it) Laura Henry. I loved it so much, I recommended it to my wife, who also loved it, though we both agreed that there were certain areas in which the book needed to be fleshed out. For two years, I have been wishing there was an ebook edition of that Audible exclusive. So imagine my excitement when a book with the same premise by the same author pops up on my feed. I went in to this with high expectations and it did not disappoint.

This book has all the charm, the snark, the with and humor of the original audiobook. (I don’t understand the title change, because Hold Me Closer, Toni Danzig is perfection in a title and ‘About Last Night’ is so blah.) But this edition adds so much needed growth to both characters, and so much more depth to the story. I think this ending is better than the Audible version ending. This is really at its heart, a story about four people becoming close friends, about sisters changing and growing together, and about two totally opposite people falling in love. It’s such a fun, wonderful read. This is everything I wanted from this story and more.

Thanks to NetGallry and Bookouture for a copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review.

Read it in a day! I really enjoyed getting to know the characters of this book, both the main ones (Toni and Audrey) as well as the side characters (Greta and Willa). The characters were relatable, although I wish there was more character development with Greta and Willa (perhaps a sequel is in the future?!?!). I am a big fan of dual POV as it helps build the story and give it depth and in this book it was no exception. At times I got a little annoyed with Audrey and her indecisiveness and toying with Toni's feelings but the ending while kind of fast and abrupt was cute and rounded out the book nicely.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC

I don’t know where to start, this book was by far one of the best romcoms I’ve read!
I couldn’t stop reading, I literally devoured the whole story!!
There were some really really spicy scenes (tho in the end one scene was skipped, sadly) and I totally fell in love with Toni, oh my 😮‍💨😮‍💨

“But if Toni offered to take me into the backcountry and build me a cabin and live off the grid, I might just throw everything away and go.”

The book actually starts with smut, like I expected after reading the blurb, and I just loved the communication and consent in this scene! They even talk about safety.

“I have dams, too. If you’d like to use them.”

The dynamic between the main characters was so intense, I could literally feel the electricity while reading the book! The whole damn time I waited for them to have their happy end and it wasn’t easy getting there but eventually they did ❤️

“So, she’s not a post-sex snuggler. I guess she can’t be perfect.”

What I really loved about this book were the dialogues between the characters, I’ve laughed out loud and that quite a lot; it felt like real conversation between friends and sisters, always teasing each other.
This made the drama easier to stand, cuz my heart was really broken for a few chapters.
There’s almost nothing I could criticise, I really loved the whole book - but the drama was maybe a little bit too much & maaaybe there could’ve been at least one chapter more, for example with the next Christmas and the now happy couple..
The ending just felt so sudden and I wished there would’ve been a look into their future together and maybe into the future of their sisters as well 🫢
So pleaaase let there be a sequel soon 🥺

All in all this book is totally worth reading it, it’s the perfekt romcom! ❤️

Gosh, I adored this book and Toni Danzig (gem of a name) melted me. Usually out on the trails, Toni is now working closer with her sister at the family-owned outdoors store headquarters. After a steamy one-night stand with Audrey Adams, Toni learns Audrey and her sister have recently been hired as contractors to help guide the strategy of their company. Audrey’s coming out of an emotionally abusive relationship and not looking for anything serious, but the connection she and Toni have from just one night is undeniable.

The heart, chemistry, 🌶️, dual POV, Colorado settings, and sisterhood were all perfect for me. Hallmark, if you’re listening, this is the perfect setup for you and the queer story I want to see this holiday season.

While I would have loved more pages for Toni & Audrey to work through their conflict, I came away with such warm fuzzies, I’ll just let it slide.

Can’t wait for the story to pick back up with their sisters in hopefully the very near future!

Thanks to NetGalley & Bookouture for the opportunity to read the advance edition.

Good, light fun. The early (enjoyable!) spicy scene of the girls’ expected one-night stand leads to a sweet story of what it means to be in the right place at the right time… or not.

Audrey knows, on a subconscious level at least, she really likes Toni. But after just (that very day) getting out of a serious relationship and the betrayal by her partner, Audrey knows she doesn’t want Toni as a rebound. Cue *intense* chemistry and desperately trying to control themselves as both girls battle to respect the choice and the timing!

This is a cute rom-com that constantly asks will they or won’t they, or later on more a case of when will they! But Laura Henry is clever here as she teases the reader but making us really want each scene to develop the intensity all while we understand the right idea behind the decision to be professional and wait.

The prose rolls along nicely and you feel invested all the way through to the end. Add to that there is a very nice seeding and budding of a subplot involving both girls’… um, straight sisters. Enjoy that as they’re going to appear in a sequel story, I understand.

This isn’t perfect. Don’t be fooled by the subtitle. This is more cute and fun than laugh out loud, although there are some good lines. And as we enter the final act, one character’s actions might frustrate you a little, before we head for home.

About Last Night is wonderfully titled and has an absolutely nailed-on cover, which all adds to Laura Henry’s impressive debut. As long as you don’t expect to much more than it says on the tin (this is pitched correctly as light and fun), and you’ll likely fully enjoy this tale of forced proximity, lovers-to-friends-to-lovers fun tale.

I was unsure after reading other reviews! However! I adored this book! I found some of the wording a little cringeworthy but ultimately I found myself finishing this book in three and a half hours! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I I found the FMC Audrey’s initial relationship breakup very relatable, however I did not enjoy the third act breakup with the second FMC Toni but when when the story ended, I found myself needing more closure on the two side characters Greta and Willa. But overall I enjoyed the story, found that the spicy scenes were not too much and it navigated a decent storyline while exploring other plots and avenues, I feel there are unanswered relationships and questions throughout the book with the author leaving it open for a sequel, which I am here for (and secretly hoping for).



Thankyou for the opportunity to review.

This book starts with an epic break up and a night of steamy sex.
Now if that doesn’t hook you into wanting to read it you should stay for the humour. I laughed out loud a couple of times. That’s not to say this book is perfect, what or who is? I didn’t like our mains lusting so much, I get it, but it got to be rather repetitive. And the reasons why they couldn’t? I mean…
Anyway, the worst of it? The I-love-yous. I wish authors wouldn’t do it like this. I know I’m being by a little vague, but it’s by design.
I definitely think this book is worth a read and I am not willing to spoil :)

Really thought this was a good read! It started off super spicy and I wish that had fully continued, but the chemistry was off the charts and fully palpable to the reader. Loved the sister dynamics and hope this author makes a second book to finish some unfinished story lines with certain characters, purposefully being vague to avoid spoilers! I’ll read anything this author writes, love how flirty and fun this book was! 4/5 stars easily!

A sweet and spicy sapphic romance perfect for Pride Month!
About Last Night really starts off with a bang and then shows its sweeter side as the book goes on. I loved the set-up for this book with the break-up karaoke, well-executed one night stand, and realization at Audrey's new job. I was concerned when reading the description about power dynamics given Toni being Audrey's boss but loved the workaround where they are technically in different departments and the fact that their previous relationship is not secret.
I'm a big fan of dual POVs, which I think served this story well. I connected with both leads and enjoyed seeing each of their insecurities, hopes, and feelings about the other. I appreciated the emotional maturity and interactions re: consent and safety especially during the steamier scenes, though the wording occasionally felt clunky. There were also several continuity questions raised, especially regarding character appearances, that I hope get a second look prior to the publishing date.
I wish this story had been extended a bit as the ending felt abrupt. That said, while I am rarely a fan of a grand gesture, I think it worked in this instance - just wanted it to be more fully fleshed out! Hopeful that we'll see the aftermath of both Audrey and Toni's relationship and that of their sisters in a future book.

I have to admit, I learned a few things while reading this book. Maybe I’m a bit of a late bloomer as a lesbian. The story is definitely spicy, but it offers much more than just that. Laura Henry has created a captivating dynamic between Audrey and Toni, with undeniable chemistry.

The emotional depth in this story is palpable, making my stomach drop a few times. Audrey could be kinder, but she’s dealing with the aftermath of an emotionally abusive relationship. Toni, on the other hand, is perfect and kind, seemingly an unlikely match for Audrey’s intensity, but don’t underestimate her.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and found it genuinely easy and pleasurable to read.

This book really started very steamy in a really good way. Then we got to know the main characters and realized that we for sure would see issues and a lot of fun interactions. Toni is fantastic and a real catch but it takes quite a while for Audrey to get there after a bad breakup. I really enjoyed my read.

Thanks for the free copy I received from NetGalley.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookoture for the ARC

Loved it! Just adorable and hilarious. Honestly the perfect sapphic novel for pride month

4.5⭐️

I really enjoyed this book! There was so much chemistry between Toni and Audrey and their flirtatious relationship kept me reading more! This book wastes no time getting into the spicy stuff! I loved the way the story flowed and how the characters all interacted. Queer books for me can be hit or miss because sometimes there can be a lack of chemistry written and they just feel like friends, but that was definitely it the case here! Every page oozed with togetherness.

The only thing I did not like was some of the writing came across as a little cringy, just wording here and there. I also really liked Audrey’s character at first but her indecisiveness and toying of Toni’s feelings towards the end of the book was really awful and made me think less of her. I’m glad she got it together by the very end but I almost wish there was more pushback from Toni and the heartbreak she had to go through.

Oh my heart i absolutely loved this!
It was such. Fun sweet happy love story till you broke my heart!
But rest assured it was repaired and I’m over the moon for them
I’m really keeping for willa’s story next
Read it in one sitting I couldnt put it down was walking into doors I was that engrossed

A cute wholesome Queer Romance perfect for pride month!

This was a lovely story that I wish I could read more of. Dual POVS are already appreciated here!
The MCS are amazing characters that have been brilliantly written (nothing worse than a dull character)

This book had me both laughing and crying at times in equal measure which was great. It definitely takes a lot to make me laugh and cry

A nice easy read that I feel many will enjoy and the spice within was definitely spicing 🔥

4 stars overall from me x

I would like to thank NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

2.5 - 3 ⭐️ I found this one super adorable! I loved all the spicy scenes which made me giggleee. I would of wanted more of development from the 2 mains because the ending kind of just ended in one shot and I wanted more tbh😭😭

I CAN’T EVEN, explain how much I loved this novel. Whatever you take away from this review, add several more points. This was (nearly) perfect! It was a quick read; I read the entire novel in one sitting, and in this instance, I mean it literally and not just “over the course of one day”. This was both because the novel is relatively short and because it was such a page turner that I couldn’t put it down. I laughed out loud (like actually) and it genuinely warmed my heart.

This novel did it all. Point form in an attempt to stop this from being an essay:
-Spicy! And how. At the beginning I was “worried” that it was actually just spice and there wouldn’t be a plot, but thankfully I was WRONG, and the spice was just front-loaded. Everyone has different tastes when it comes to spicy scenes, and it turns out that this is a textbook example of mine. Who knew, because I didn’t.
-Sweet and heartwarming! There were a lot of different character dynamics that the author explored and played around with. There were twin dynamics with fun near-telepathic communication. Family dynamics that were sweet and supportive, or more detached and subtle yet STILL also heartwarming. The romance had some SERIOUS chemistry! There was sibling support, and sibling rivalry. Long-held-under-the-surface-pride was uncovered and basked in. Don’t even get me started about the best-friend GOALS!
-The characters themselves were simply amazing. There were a good number of notable characters and they all felt very real, detailed, and the author brought them to life. The dialogue felt like real people talking and no one was a 2d stand-in for the sake of filling in a scene.
-Unexpected side romance <spoiler> between the heterosexual sisters? WTF? Amazing! I love it! I am here for it! </spoiler> <spoiler> AND IT BETTER HAPPEN SOON you evil author, or I’m coming back and taking a star off this rating! </spoiler>
-Sequel bait. I’m talking heavy-handed sequel bait. The type that I would usually be raging against except that somehow this author got me to walk away feeling happy about it? This is truly a first; normally I hate unresolved details or “to be continued” plotlines but they managed to make it work! I WILL be devouring the sequel as quickly as is humanly possible.
-Did I mention it was awesomely spicy? Not just by volume, but by QUALITY.
-There were more serious and heavy elements woven into the story too. Its not all fluff and spice! We got some serious and heavy emotions to help round out the emotional range of experience. Audrey’s past relationship was noteworthy in this category, as was the root of Toni’s insecurities.
-The writing did a great job of hinting at a larger and more lived in world. I had so many questions about certain characters backstories or relationships. Somehow the author made this a good thing, where the world felt very real, instead of an annoying thing, where I could have felt like I was missing something. They are set up for about a dozen potential sequels or prequels. It was the perfect balance where, for the most part, I am satisfied if I never see more yet I’m craving these answers at the same time. Example: <spoiler> I want to see more of the relationship between Toni and Max. The degree of affection makes me wonder if they are just best friends or if there is/was more? Regardless they are great together. </spoiler>.
-For the most part, the characters acted realistically like actual people. Nothing felt forced for the sake of plot. Nothing was pushed until it was a caricature of what is reasonable.
-All of this taken together, and more, means that this novel felt very full. In the best way! This might be what made it such a compelling page-turner because there was so much content packed in. There was never a slow part, a lull, or any section that I had to push through. It could have been another 100 pages without adding any content, just detail, and the novel would have still worked and been great.


Ok complaints! Not much, but for the sake of completeness here we go.
-The ending was too abrupt. It was the standard endpoint for a rom-com but I like to see more past this point and I know I’m not alone. I’m not holding it against the author too much though as they are promising we will see more of these characters in the sequel. If this is done as well as some other companion novels out there, then it should be plenty satisfying.
-There were a few plotlines/subplots where I didn’t get the resolution I wanted. In some cases this was deliberate and once again, we are promised that we will get what we are looking for in the sequel (<spoiler>Looking at you sisters!</spoiler>). So I can’t be too angry about that as long as the following novel delivers on that promise. There was also Audrey’s ex and the impact that relationship had on her. I feel like this wasn’t given enough time or attention for the issue to simply disappear.

I received an ARC from NegGalley of this book. I did not finish it. It is not really my sort of story.

If you are looking for an amazing queer romance book, here you go! This was the cutest love story and I honestly wish there was more to read!



The book is dual POVs between Audrey, and Toni. I LOVE a dual POV book! Audrey and Toni have an amazing one night stand, but agree to leave it at that. Audrey and her twin sister Willa work together as a consulting business, and a few days after the one night stand, they happen to be helping out a company ran by Toni’s older sister Greta, and Toni! Audrey and Toni must find a way to work together, but casually.



I absolutely loved the story from start to finish! The way that Audrey and Toni meet is so fun, and their dynamic continues to just have this fun, and playful vibe happening (for the most part). I know they have to keep it professional, but goodness they are adorable! Of course, these things are easier said than done. Part of the book takes place at Christmas time and I really enjoyed that part in the book. Not only because I love Christmas, but WOW their Christmas in this book is something! The back and forth between Toni and Audrey really drew me in. I was flying through the pages to see what in the world was going to happen!



Audrey and Toni both have different, but sweet relationships with their sisters. I loved Audrey and Willa’s relationship from the start. They have this amazing bond you can really feel. Toni and Greta’s relationship really transforms during the book and it’s so sweet to see. And Willa, and Greta’s relationship transforms into something very interesting as well.



There were many funny parts to this book, parts that had me smiling, parts that almost had me in tears, and so many surprises. It’s a wonderful romance book! With every good romance book, there is spice in this one! In my opinion, it’s just enough! When things are spicy, wheewwww they are spicy. But there is SO much more to this book than that. If you are a fan of romance, I really think you’d like this book.
