This is my first Lindsey Kelk book and it did not disappoint.

Francesca "Fran" is in a controlling dead end relationship with her college sweetheart. She works as a temporary personal assistant after her fiancee requested that she take a job where she would not be required to travel. Fran is in-between jobs and calls a temp agency looking for work. She ends up with a 5 day job with a celebrity on a yacht. Fran is tasked with getting to the Crystal Ball, Europe's equivalent to the Met Ball.

Fran's Cinderella like journey kept me hooked from the first page. The adventure of her doing new things, finding her voice and truly becoming confident in her newly found voice is something that is both powerful and uplifting. This book will keep you rapt to the last page.

This was the friendship novel I didn't know I needed. Truly, the romantic plot line isn't the most important aspect of the book, and surprisingly, I didn't care! Women's friendships are so precious, and to spend time with characters who are supportive of one another was such a nice treat. Well done, Lindsey!

Read this if you:
🎤ever watched the show Nashville
🎤own [or want to own] a yacht
🎤would ever sneak into a big event
🎤liked Cinderella

What a fun modern day telling of Cinderella. I flew through this and it was just so cute! If you’re wanting a cute rom-com, definitely pick this one up.

A fun lighthearted rom.com from the master of romance,,Lindsey Kelk! Fran gets the opportunity of a lifetime to leave her noncommittal boyfriend and work for the superstar, Juliette. As she forms a friendship with the star, she meets Evan, a jetsetter himself. Sparks fly and a wonderful romantic story enfold. A fun read.

I love a feel good British rom com and no one does it better than Lindsay kelk. Fran is out of work and in a dead end relationship. A temp job leads to an experience of a lifetime hobnobbing with the rich and famous, befriending the biggest pop icon on the planet, and a new romance. All culminating at Christmas. Just the perfect fairy tale escape from reality we all need right now.

I loved this story about Fran and her journey on finding her perfect life. I love that she was able to turn down opportunities in Love, friendship and career that where not perfect for the life she wants to live. This story is so sweet, funny and smart! I especially love the very last line of the book!

This was super cute and something I wanted to read for a while! I loved everything about it, from the romances that I was indulged in and the absolutely amazing writing. These are characters I’ll surely remember for a very long time into the future!

Another fun @netgalley book completed!

On a Night Like This was a fun modern retelling of Cinderella. I’m stating this right away because I didn’t realize it and I was so confused 40% into the book. 😂 Once I figured that out, I enjoyed it so much more!

I loved Fran. I really connected with her and it was nice to watch her growth offer the course of the book. I also liked Juilette by the end. Their friendship was refreshing to and with. I’m usually not into the live at first sight either, but I thought it was done well with all the topics Evan and Fran went through at the ball.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Have you ever wished that some amazing chance might come along and change your life?

That’s exactly the situation Fran Cooper – the heroine of Lindsey Kelk’s newest romance wishes for, and days later, it’s happening. Suddenly she goes from jobless and stuck, to employed as the assistant to a famous singer – headed off to an exotic location with life-changing results.

I tried so hard to wait on reading this one, until closer to the release date (January 18, 2022 for those of us in the States) – but it kept calling my name. So, needless to say I rushed headlong in to reading it and have no regrets, because once again Lindsey Kelk has delivered a perfect example of warm, escapist romantic comedy. Her books never fail to cheer me up, and always feature characters I can relate to and root for. She has quickly become one of my go to authors, and a great comfort read.

I loved watching Fran’s ‘Cinderella’ story unfold – filled with plenty of all too relatable mishaps along the way. I was laughing and the ending left me with a smile on my face. I also enjoy a happy ending the way this one spun out. I cannot wait to see what Lindsey comes out with next.

In the meantime, if you’re looking to escape or need some lighthearted, hijinksy romcom cheer in your life – look no further. 😊

Review posted to Goodreads 11/2/21 and to be posted on Instagram and Amazon for release week

I really enjoyed this book. It was well paced and the characters were fully formed. I would enjoy reading other work by this author in the future.

3/5 ⭐️’s

Sadly this one just wasn’t for me. I really liked the premise of this book and the cinderella quality to it, but I just had a hard time connecting with it overall.

I really loved Fran and her growth throughout the story was 10/10, but I think everything just moved a little too slowly for me and I had a hard time staying interested. The main plot line revolves around the ball mentioned in the book blurb, but we really don’t even get that until about halfway through the book. When we did get to the main event, it was really well done and had some of my favorite scenes, but everything leading up to it just felt so drawn out.

I think I was also expecting this to be more of a romance read, but it felt more like a self discovery journey instead and that’s probably why I couldn’t quite connect with it.

Although this one didn’t hit the mark for me, I did really enjoy the author’s writing style and I enjoyed how light and sweet it was!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an arc in exchange for an honest review!

A huge thank you to the author and publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!

After Francesca Cooper takes on being a PA for a mysterious celebrity for a week (after signing an NDA and going through an extensive interview and everything), her life changes forever.

Fran is such a strong lead, and I loved her character. And the banter between Fran and Evan… I JUST CANNOT. This book had me bursting out laughing, smiling like a madwoman, and clutching my hands to my heart. Definitely gave off Cinderella vibes, and how could you go wrong with a classic like that?! I think I enjoyed it even more because I’ve been reading so many thrillers back-to-back in honor of Halloween, so this lighthearted read was just perfect for me!

This was my first book from Lindsey Kelk, but it definitely won’t be my last. Will definitely be purchasing this book when it comes out on January 18, 2022!

Favorite quote:
“She probably knew my favourite Disney film, when I lost my virginity, and how many times a day I checked Britney Spears’s Instagram. Not that I was obsessed or anything, I just liked to make sure she was OK.”

Made me laugh so hard for some reason 😂

This book in 3 words: Lovely. Personable. Enchanting.

I went into this one blind and it was such a treat. A friendly-Cinderella-meets-2021 vibe and I'm here for it. The core of this book is about relationships -- romantic, platonic, and the one you have with yourself.

This book is classic escapism...takes you away to a very likeable main character, Fran. I liked watching her navigate a challenging job while realizing what would actually make her happy. I do think this book ventures a little outside of a typical romance trope but it still fits nicely in the genre.

This is my second book by Lindsey Kelk and I find her writing style and characterization to be comforting. Her books feel like a warm blanket you can drape heavily around your shoulders and just sink into.

What a fun read! Fran is in a dead-end engagement and could use a fresh start. Thanks to a mysterious job, she ends up getting exactly that! Loved the setting- especially the Crystal Ball! Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins for the ARC.

On a Night Like This is sort of a Cinderella story for thirtysomethings. I expected more romance but was pleasantly surprised to spend more time with Fran as she grew, developed new friendships and deepened old ones, and started putting herself first. This book is one I looked forward to escaping to, with its positive message and just enough fun celebrity glitz.

Four and a half stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭒

On a Night Like This by Lindsey Kelk is a perfect escapism book. This delightful story will make you laugh, cry and take you on an amazing journey with these characters. In a nod to Cinderella, we get to go to a fabulous ball on an Italian island and a trip on a fabulous yacht.

Fran Cooper works as an administrataive assistant for a temporary agency. She mostly works for CEO’s and corporate clients who need an administrative assistant for short term jobs. She gets a last minute assignment to assist a mysterious person, and when she arrives she finds out it’s superstar, singer Juliette. Also, she has to travel with her on a yacht in the Mederterranean sea and make sure she goes to the Crystal Ball, a very exclusive charity event on the Island a Panera.

On a Night Like This is pure fantasy and escapism. It’s fun, bright, heartwarming and just a delight to read. I really enjoyed the characters, and thought they were very well developed and I truly cared about them. The plot was a bit unrealistic at times, but I didn’t mind it at all. The story pulled me along and I never felt it dragged and I enjoyed the over-the-top storyline very much. This book will sweep you off your feet and give you that Cinderella feeling.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a romantic escape. I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This was a funny one liner read, a Cinderella Rom-com at its finest. This was my first Lindsey Kelk book, and it won't be my last. It was a wonderful love story that also kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. I highly recommend the read.

Thank you NetGalley and Lindsey Kelk for giving me the opportunity to read this book!

This is a great read if you need something light and cute. This is the kind of novel that I could have pictured being a movie during the late 2000s- It has that classic rom-com feel. What this book subverts though is how light on the romance this is and how heavy it is with focusing on the main character. This is more of a self-journey as opposed to purely a romance book, and after reading so many other books in the genre, this was a nice change of pace. I really enjoyed the relatable main character, and the book delivers a great message about self-care and navigating new life changes.

I wish the book would have been slightly longer near the end. It loses a bit of steam near the ending. Although I wasn't too big of a fan of the conflict in the later half of the book, I still think this is a relatively people-pleasing sort of book. I personally liked the friendships Fran held with other characters as opposed to the romance. If you're looking for a book that's main character heavy, give this one a try!

Lindsey Kelk has done it again! On a Night Like This is an enchanting read! Fran is a personal assistant who thrives on making everyone’s lives easier - but does it make hers easier? When she gets the opportunity of a lifetime, to be the PA to the very famous Juliette, she takes it & it sets her on a course to find out more of who she is, what she wants & also adds a little magic back into her life. I adored this book, not only for the swoony Evan, but for her relationship with Juliette & her other friends. If you’re looking for a book that takes you on an adventure & helps you find what you really want in life, pick this one up! You’ll enjoy every funny, charming moment!

Will be reviewing this one as it gets closer to release day on my Instagram at @oh.how.novel

I’ll start by saying I am an absolutely huge Lindsey Kelk fan. I’ve read all of her novels, and On a Night Like This will leave you feeling fairytales are absolutely possible.

OaNLT is the perfect fall read - when you are snuggled in front of a fireplace and you have hours to get lost in a story which will have you laughing, and rooting for Fran who is down on her luck and gets a dream job for 5 days being a PA to a rockstar, nonetheless.

What follows is a tale of friendship, self-discovery, and a bit of romance that will leave readers so happy they opened this book..

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins for an advanced copy, in exchange for my honest opinion. All thoughts are my own.
