About Last Night (Loveswept) [Kindle Edition]

Cath moved from the US to London to make a fresh start for herself, she desperately wanted to leave her bad girl past behind and has worked hard to become a new improved version of herself. She doesn't drink, she doesn't date and she has become very focused on her job at a museum. When the only way to convince her friend to let her borrow an item for the museum display she is working on is to agree to a double date she quickly finds herself out of her depth. Waking up in a strange bed, with no memory of how she got there she is horrified to think that she has slipped back into old habits. But Nev didn't take advantage of her, he recognised her from the commuter train they usually share on the journey to work and took her home to make sure she was safe. Cath is determined not to get involved with a man again but Nev is equally determined to make her his. Opposites really do attract but can they have a successful relationship?

OK so I'll admit it - the main reason I was drawn to this book was the cover, I mean come on, just look at it and tell me that isn't one HOT cover!! I was a little worried when I found out the main character was called Neville though - I hate to say it but it's not really the sexiest name out there is it? Anyway, I'm very happy that Nev (or City as Cath calls him through most of the story - hooray for nicknames because I love him much more as City!) more than lives up to the cover image and he completely stole my heart.

Nev may be incredibly sexy to look at (and don't you just love a man in a suit?) but Cath has always thought of him as a straight laced, upper class banker who would have no interest in someone like her. In reality he has the soul of an artist and hates his job working for the family bank, he may come from money but he dreams of making a living with his paintings. The attraction between Cath and Nev is off the charts and the passion between them was enough to melt my kindle. There are definitely some scorching hot scenes between them but Cath is running scared. What starts as an intense affair quickly turns to more but she is terrified by the idea of a relationship. I love how patient Nev is with her and the way he slowly sneaks his way under her defences almost without her realising how hard she is falling for him. He did act like a bit of a twit for a few minutes towards the end of the book but he'd more than made up for it by the end.

About Last Night is a fabulous contemporary romance and one that has definitely added Ruthie Knox to my list of authors to watch out for. I'm looking forward to picking up her previous book Ride with Me very soon. If you're looking for a light hearted but sizzling romance then you can't go far wrong with this one!

Now and then I download a book that I'm not sure about but read the reviews and look at the price and think - give it a go - with this book I am sooooo glad I did.

Ruthie Knox has written a tale that is extraordinary, especially for a lesser price than my teabags!! This story has love, laughter, very hot sex scenes, tragedy, heartache, romance, family issues, mistakes and redemption, hope and survival.

I actually cried! I NEVER cry but our American in London, Cath was such a fabulous character-she had experienced a darker side of life and suffered for it and then after a night of excess, fate decided to take a hand and she woke up very hungover in City's bed. City being the smart banker type she sees every morning on the train to work - Loved how we are introduced to him:

"Tall blond man in an expensive suit, Financial Times under his arm," she said, then added, "possibly a cyborg."

This 'tongue in cheek' element is apparent throughout the book as it's written mainly from Cath's perspective, although as we learn more of her story it's apparent that Cath uses this brash attitude to hide an unbearable amount of pain. I adored this character, Cath is a survivor, she'd had her finger on her self destruct button for a long time and was happily making a new (if not unemotional), life for herself when she hauls City into her story.

Nev (City), is just adorable, completely devoted to Cath and in the time honoured way of all men making a complete hash of things whilst trying to prove his love for Cath. Of course he's a prat for a small part of the story but the ending more than makes up for this. I've just literally put my kindle down and I still have wet eyelashes.

Thank you Ruthie, I absolutely hate crying but I loved this book.

After reading other reviews I decided to buy it and absolutely loved it, could not put it down. I was hooked fairly quickly which is what I like in a book. Loved both charactures and the story, did not want it to end. I have just got back into reading and cannot wait to read more from the author.
