3 stars.

This book was short, quick to read, and I felt good about it. I liked both main characters and the story was also nice. However, I wasn't particularly attached to the characters. Anyway, the book was a nice light read!

This was the first book by Christy McKellen that I read, and I could very well read her books in the future.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
* Forced proximity
* Hea
* Miscommunication
* Mistaken identity
* Workplace romance
* One night stand turned more
* Open doors
* Second chance
* Steamy

I already read this arc before and I really love this book! Had to get this arc again to send to my kindle so I can re listen to this arc again.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for this book, I really enjoyed this book the first time, and I need my physical copy book to annotate my book 📖 😊💕

This book definitely made me feel all the romance and laughing out loud literally when I read this the first time. I will re read.

Thank you for the ARC! This was a lovely little fluffy romance! It was steamy when it needed to be, the chemistry was great, however, it wasn't my favourite read.

A light and enjoyable read with charming moments. Perfect for a cozy afternoon when you're in the mood for a sweet romance! Emily is who I'd most like to meet.

Spice: 🌶️🌶️


This was a fun quick read, and I enjoyed Lula and Tristan's banter and chemistry. I appreciated the tiny arc and character development we see from Tristan in putting his heart out there. There is a hint of trauma related to her parents, but each back story for both Lula/Tristan is probably not more than 2 paragraphs in the whole book combined. They don't dive too deeply in the heavy topics.

If you're wanting something fun, spicy, sweet this is a good choice. Plus, it looks like the best friend of Lula has her own book too, so very fun to treat as standalone or a sequel.

3.25/5 stars!

i was scared to read a romance book after reading so many fantasy books but this book actually surprised me a lot!

it was such a fun, fast read with some spicy and cute moments! i really liked lula and tristan together, they bring the best out of each other. I was worried their relationship would be kind of an insta-love because it’s a short read, but it didn’t feel that way at all!

this was very short and sweet, i didn’t find it cringey and i was very invested in reading this at any moment of the day. I would definitely recommend if you want a fast paced romance book!

thank you NetGalley for this ARC in exchange of my honest opinion!

About Last Night by Christy McKellen was such a blast to read! Thanks to NetGalley, Christy McKellen, and Boldwood Books for the ARC—I'm seriously so thrilled I got to dive into this spicy, fun romance!

✨ Tropes & Themes ✨
✧ Boss/Employee Romance 💕
✧ One Night Stand 💖
✧ Forced Proximity 💗
✧ Workplace Romance 💋
✧ Instant Attraction 😍
✧ Miscommunication 😬
✧ Second Chances 💕
✧ Enemies to Lovers (kinda) 💥

Lula and Tristan’s chemistry? Off. The. Charts. 💥 A one-night stand that turns into a workplace disaster? Oh yes, count me in! 😂 Lula's absolute horror when she discovers that her recent hookup is now her new boss, and to top it off, his first order of business is to fire her! I was glued to every page from that wild start. 📚

Lula is such a relatable queen—balancing her career while trying to dodge her undeniable feelings for Tristan. She’s funny, strong, and unapologetically bold, making her a blast to follow throughout the story. Tristan, meanwhile, is dealing with his own baggage—messy breakup vibes—but just can’t resist Lula’s charm. 😍 The office banter? Hilarious and spicy, with that classic will-they-won't-they tension simmering all the way. And don’t even get me started on that groveling moment… SO satisfying. 🙌

The pacing? Chef's kiss. It’s fast without feeling rushed, keeping things light but still giving all the heart. The miscommunication and personal baggage don’t drag on endlessly either—thank goodness for that! The rom-com clichés? Totally fitting the vibe of the story, and honestly, I didn’t mind them one bit. 🥰

In the end, About Last Night is the perfect fun, flirty read for when you need a quick romance pick-me-up! It’s sexy, laugh-out-loud funny, and just the right dose of heartfelt moments. Definitely recommend! 💕

About Last Night was a super quick read, based on a DJ and a businessman who accidentally becomes her boss after they hook up.

While this book had potential, it felt super rushed to me, so I didn’t feel like I got to know the characters, and it was very insta-lovey. I think with some more pages and time with this (and maybe more of a slow burn by keeping them enemies for longer), this could’ve been a really good book!

this was good; very easy quick read that you wanted to keep reading, but it was too fast paced for me and I would've def punched Tristan irl

Funny, poignant, endearing characters, a good spattering of relatable everyday truths, a few unexpected plot twists . . . everything a good book should be! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“For the first time in a long time she felt empowered and sexy and alive. She needed this right now. So badly”

Did I get exactly what I wanted in this spicy and funny and romantic romcom story? Absolutely!!! Boss romance, one night stand, forced proximity, workplace romance and an undeniable pull these characters are feeling. Exactly my cup of tea. I had so much fun getting through Lulu and Tristan’s story and honestly their dynamic was hilarious. The book is short enough to make the narrative interesting without sounding boring. I could read about them and have the best time, without feeling like the pages were too many or the story repetitive. It was a good combination of short time, fun time. Plus, there is something about Lulu that draws you in. I don’t know if it is the fact that she is an introverted woman trying and pretending to be outdoorsy and a partygoers when in truth, she is made for cozy movies and a night in. Or simply the fact that, as many others, she was attracted by guys that would have eventually have a path that felt incompatible to hers. And when Tristan comes in the picture … oh boy, did she have a great time!!! I enjoyed their dynamic and some of the banter that was there and the possibility of another story like this is … really exciting!!!

“In a shocking moment of clarity, she realised that this was always going to happen. She’d been kidding herself this whole time”

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author of the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I liked the writing style. It was so straightforward, no fluff or unnecessary descriptions just to bulk up the pages which, after my last read, was ''such'' a breath of fresh air!. The pacing was perfect, and the balance of intimate moments was spot on. It’s a short, easy read that I finished in a few hours.

Tristan meet Lu in a London pub while preparing to fire a DJ, Tallulah, at his dad's radio station that the boss there has sexually harassed. Lu has a career deciding meeting in the morning but wants to blow off steam and happens to find Tristan more than willing.
Turns out Lu is Tallulah and that meeting doesn't end very well for either of them the night after...

Unfortunately this romance didn't work for me. I didn't like the characters at all, or the writing style or the 'sense of humour' the author tries to achieve here.
I believe more experienced romance readers might enjoy this book a lot more than I did.

I loved this so much!
The characters were loveable and relatable. The banter between the two was perfect and made me laugh out loud at some points (see slamming door in face post job offer)
This was a joy to read.

"About Last Night" by Christy McKellen left me feeling a bit underwhelmed. The story had potential with its London setting and radio DJ protagonist, Lula, but it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The plot felt disjointed, jumping between chick-lit vibes and heavier topics like difficult childhoods, without really connecting them smoothly.

Tristan, the male lead, didn't win me over, especially with how he handled Lula's situation at work. His rash decisions and poor treatment of her early on made it hard to root for their romance. Though I appreciated his creative apology towards the end, it wasn’t enough to redeem him in my eyes.

Lula, on the other hand, had some great qualities. She’s brave, determined, and knows what she wants. However, the rushed nature of the story didn’t give her character, or their relationship, much room to grow. There was plenty of chemistry, but not much emotional depth to back it up.

In the end, this book is more about the short and spicy rather than a deeper romance. If you’re looking for a quick, light office romance, it might be worth a read. However, for me, it was just okay—entertaining but forgettable. Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the ARC.

McKellen's writing style is top-notch, and I found myself completely engrossed in the story. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a heartwarming and engaging romance novel.

If you’re looking for a quick steamy read, this is it! It’s got romance, banter, relatable characters, and a little bit of spice. Thanks to netgalley, the author, and publisher for providing me with.a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Thanks to netgalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for a voluntary review.

I liked this book. It was a quick and predictable read with likeable main characters. If you want something to read by the pool that’s quick and easy to indulge in, then this is the book. I feel like it had a lot of potential and just missed the grit.

Radio DJ Lula Lazenby is usually very quite and laid back and never lets out her wild side, however after having enough of being cautious she decides to pretend to be Louise for the night whilst our with her friends, and do everything she wouldn't normally do. After spending the night with the hunky Tristan Bamfield she is mortified to realise that he is actually her bosses son and has only come to the station to fire her.

I read this book whilst on holiday and it was the perfect rom-com for lazing around in the sun. The book is very funny and the characters really relatable and likeable. This is the first book I have read by the author but I will definitely be looking out for her in the future. This book ticked every box for me on what I like in a romance.

Thank you to Netgalley and Boldwood Books for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
