Publisher's summary

Though Rylann Pierce tried to fight the sparks she felt for billionaire heir Kyle Rhodes the night they met, their sizzling chemistry was undeniable. But after being stood up on their first date, Rylann never expected to see him again. So when she finds herself face to face with Kyle in a courthouse nine years later, she's stunned. More troubling to the beautiful Assistant U.S. Attorney is that she's still wildly attracted to him.

Just released from prison, Kyle Rhodes isn't thrilled to be the star witness in a high-profile criminal case - but when Rylann comes knocking at his door, he finds she may be the one lawyer he can't say no to. Still as gorgeous and sharp-tongued as ever, she lays down the law: she doesn't mix business with pleasure. But Kyle won't give up on something he wants - and what he wants is the one woman he's never forgotten....

Great listen..

Any additional comments?

This wasn't as good as the other two books but I still enjoyed it. I really liked Kyle and Rylann but there was no suspense in the story, like there was in the others. It was nice to see Rae again, as well as Jack, Cameron, Nick and Jordan. I've really enjoyed this series and I'm off to read the next one now.

As to the narrator: Ms. White keeps surprising me with her narration. She did a wonderful job with the voices in this book.

Entertaining & Non Violent

Julie James has a wonderful talent for creating strong female characters who have interesting lives, rather than boring wimps who are waiting for a man to fulfill them.

Kyle was smart, funny, caring and nonviolent, the perfect male romantic hero. His relationship with an assertive & talented US Attorney was entertaining & engrossing.

Hot sexy fun

They barely met when he disappears completely from her life. Many years later they meet again. These FBI series stories are a lot of fun. Each story introduces new characters while retaining a few from other books in the series. Loved these. Yes, they are fluff!! So much wealth. In all these stories, the characters are high achieving and well heeled. Where are the stories of the girl next store with two babies and unable to make rent?

Love this series

Where does About that Night rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Right up there with my favorite, The Bride Quartet by Nora Roberts

Any additional comments?

Can't wait until April for the fourth book in the series

A bit Anti-Climactic

I have thoroughly enjoyed the two previous books in this series, and am fond of Karen White's narration. But I found this one to be lacking a bit compared to the others. I suppose I liked the suspense of the other two and this one was more of just your standard romance novel feel.

Still very enjoyable though! I will continue with this series.

FBI and AUSAs with loose lips

For as much confidential and under cover work these characters do books 1-3, I can’t get past how much they openly reveal information. Secret undercover mission? Just tell the girl you are sleeping with. Meeting someone for the first time in a personal setting? Introduce yourself with your professional title, because you are super important.

As for this story, it’s not bad. I almost DNF when she emailed her ex in return to his baiting with the “hi” email. C‘Mon woman, he is simply seeing if that door is still open and you walked right in. It gets worse from there. Side note, not everyone deserves closure. In fact, as you get older, you realize you may never get closure and just need to move on with your life like a big boy and girl.

Kyle also comes across as an @$$hole in the first few chapters. How are you going to me mad at the people doing their job when you effed up big time?

This one is ok. But I wanted to talk some sense into the FMC multiple times.

ABOUT THAT NIGHT

This is the third book in this series. I like this series. This book is about Rylann and Kyle Rhodes. Kyle is rich and Rylann is a lawyer, there attracted to each other. Kyle gets in trouble for deleting alot of things on Twitter. While he's in jail he over hears some things that Rylann want him to testify in court what he heard. There banter back and forth is good.

Another good one!

A fun series of standalone books. This featured Kyle, the brother of Jordan from book 2 and Ryland, a new character to the series.

Kyle is fresh out of prison for hacking twitter and shutting it down for 24 hours. The previous DA pushed for maximum sentence due to his father's billionaire status. In book 2, he was released early after his sister made a deal with the new DA if she helped the FBI get into an exclusive wine party to plant bugs in the owners office.

Kyle and Ryland met for only one night, 9 years ago when they were still in college. They were supposed to go on a date the next night but Kyle found out his mother was in an accident and he had to go home. The attraction they felt is still there after 9 years but now Ryland is an ADA in the office where Kyle was convicted.

I liked Ryland but she was a bit too by the book at times. Kyle was ok for me. I think I just couldn't get past the younger brother version of him we saw in Jordan's book. I still very, much enjoyed the writing and was entertained by this audiobook. I borrowed this on the Audio Romance Package and love the narrator. She does a fantastic job.

Cute and fun, great banter

Audiobook: Narrator – Karen White
I enjoyed this narration. Ms. White did a great job of both male/female voices and I never struggled to discern who was speaking with the various characters. I would gladly listen to more audiobooks narrated by her.

I’ve heard nothing but good things about this series so of course instead of starting at the beginning I jumped into the middle.

Nine years ago, Rylann Pierce met Kyle Rhodes and they shared instant chemistry along with their fun barbs and quips. Now they are both living their lives, although each is dealing with their own issues.

Rylann from a broken relationship and Kyle an ex-con with the moniker of the Twitter Terrorist. From the moment they reunite the chemistry flares to life again but her position as an Assistant US Attorney and his as an ex-convict stand between them.

I loved these characters! Rylann was smart and sharp but never hard or rude. She knew how to get her job done but she was always had a softer side to her. Kyle was trying to put his past mistake behind him and start his own business. He had a quirky sense of humor that complimented Rylann’s. Together they were so freaking cute.

I thought there was going to be some suspense and mystery to this story but while Rylann is working on a case and we do have some of the legalities of that situation, there was nothing here to cause a huge showdown between the characters and a bad guy. It was actually kinda nice as it was unexpected.

This has a good pace to it and is relatively low angst with the exception of them figuring out how to make their relationship work due to her job and his past incarceration. I loved watching them both as they transitioned from who they were coming into this relationship into individuals who were willing to do whatever it took to make it work. I’m looking forward to listening to the rest of the series as soon as possible.
