Julie James writes a nice romance but really doesn't quite get the sex scene part of the gig. She used to shy away and now she goes for it and kind of misses the mark. I skim past the sexy bits because I like her sassy heroines. :)

ABOUT THAT NIGHT has long been a favorite of mine and reading it again reminded me of why I love Julie James's writing so much! We first met Kyle in the previous book and I couldn't wait for his story because I already loved him. Kyle was smart, witty, and just the right amount of cocky. He knows he made a mistake, he owned up to it, and now he's working to fix his life. Kyle's not interested in a relationship considering what happened with his last girlfriend but Rylann turns all his emotions and plans on their head. I adored watching Kyle fall in love because he's both conflicted and on board with it. I also really enjoyed seeing Kyle's twin sister Jordan again because I love their relationship and how they're always joking with each other.
Rylann was the perfect match for Kyle and I absolutely loved her and wanted to be her best friend! She's sarcastic, feisty, and always has a smart comeback. Rylann takes her job very seriously and while she's attracted to Kyle she's worried dating him will ruin her reputation as an AUSA. Deviating from her life's plan is a scary prospect for Rylann but something about Kyle just makes her want to take a chance on doing something "crazy." The banter between Kyle and Rylann is cute and sexy and everything I want in a book. All their quips and sarcasm was like prolonged flirting and they had such great chemistry together.
ABOUT THAT NIGHT is definitely on my list of top reads and Rylann and Kyle really make this story because they're so perfect for each other and I love them to pieces as a couple and as individual people.

Favorite Quotes:
I don't mind hot and spicy. Actually find that appealing in a girl.” He cocked his head, thinking this over. “And chicken wings.”
Rylann turned her head and stared at him. “Did you really just compare me to chicken wings?”
“You say that like it’s a bad thing. Chicken wings are the bomb.”

“I didn't think good-girl prosecutors knew about the types of things that happen in Vegas.”
“There are probably a lot of things bad-boy ex-cons don't know about good-girl prosecutors.”

“Because nine years ago, I walked up to the most beautiful girl in the bar, and tonight she’s still the only person I want to talk to.”

About That Night is about Kyle Rhodes. He's a computer genius and the son of a billionaire. He's just gotten out of prison after he hacked into twitter and shut it down for two days after his girlfriend dumped in the worst way, on twitter. He got a longer sentence than he deserved because the US Attroney, at the time, was a opportunist asshole. Now that he's out, he wants to get his life back on track. And that does not include helping someone from the same office that called him a terrorist.
But a blast from the past — the 'one that got away', you could say — changes his mind. He met Rylann almost a decade ago. They were both interested but, due of reasons, nothing happened. Now, after many years, even with him as an ex-con and her as an attorney, he can't help but wonder if maybe they could finally act on their attraction.
Rylann isn't on board with his flirtation. Not at first. Yes, she finds him attractive and he's a likable guy, but she can't see things working between them. Not with his status as the infamous "twitter terrorist" and her being new at the office. But they still give things a (casual) shot and I gotta say, they had a lot of chemistry. A lot of things have changed over the years for them, but not that. They still get along and their relationship, filled with plenty of flirting and banter, is so sweet. I was definitely rooting for them. For me, Kyle and Rylann are tied with Jack and Cameron (from Something About You).
Other than the romance, the case Rylann was working on played a small-but-crucial part. There were many small sub-plots, when I think about it. There was Rylann dealing with her own breakup, lots of fun time with Kyle's sister, Kyle getting his life back together after being in prison for four months, and other seemingly small things that really fleshed out the novel. Seeing both Kyle and Rylann's life outside of one another was great for getting to know them.
Both the protagonists were great. The book was funny and cute and I really liked it. I think it's my favourite, so far, by Julie James (though Something About You kinda has a special place, maybe because it was the first in the series). So if you're looking for a good, lighthearted read, this is definitely one I recommend.

3⭐️ Not my favorite of this series. This series is like fast food. It doesn’t have a lick of nutritional value but is good in a pinch. This to me was the Taco Bell of this series hahahaha

This was a lot of fun!
I really enjoy reading Julie James - the characters and the banter between them is always fabulous. I laugh out loud constantly.
The only minor quibble I had with this is that it was SUPER straightforward. There was no drama, no danger (I kept waiting for the legal situation to rear it's head, in a its-not-over way), no other plotline, really. It was just two people going about their lives, that hook up. Which wasn't bad, just wasn't what I expected after the first two books in the series.
But I loved Kyle and Rylann, so I really don't have any complaints. Fun stuff!
