adored this story, and I am disappointed for not picking it up sooner! A heartwarming feel-good read filled with life dilemmas without being heavy or draining. In true Lindsey Kelk style, the characters are likeable and relatable, even those you don't particularly want to like, with their flaws and uniqueness. The plot flows quickly and is full of the push-pull element for which this genre is famous.

There's not much I can say about this storyline without giving too much away and adding spoilers, so I will keep this review short but sweet - if you a fan of this author's or are a rom-com fan, this is a must-read for you. Be sure that you have a few hours spare as you will lose time once you start reading; this book will draw you in and is hard to put down!

On A Night Like This by Lindsey Kelk

I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK and I am leaving this review voluntarily

When Fran Cooper accepts a mysterious temporary job as a PA to a celebrity, she is swept off her feet overnight. Working with internationally famous singer Juliette, Fran is the person charged with getting Juliette to the Crystal Ball, the glittering event when the world’s rich and famous gather on Panarea, a beautiful Mediterranean island, for a night like no other.

What Fran doesn’t know is that on this one night, everything will change for her too – that instead of standing on the sidelines, she’ll be putting on the most beautiful dress she’s ever seen and having the most unforgettable night of her life…

This is a delightful, easy read. Fran is invited to attend a job interview in London for a job that she cannot be given any information about until she has signed an NDA - would you accept? A feel-good book perfect for when you need a quick escape from reality.

Rating 4/5

Lindsey Kelk is one of my favourite authors and just like her previous books Ona Night Like This didn’t disappoint. A laugh out loud story that left me wanting more ( please, please write more) there were many likeable characters and every girl needs a friend like Jess. Highly recommended.

Perfect chick lit, I loved ‘On a night like this.’ I loved Fran’s character and was immediately invested in her story and adventures. Laugh out loud in places, this was an easy enjoyable read for 5 stars.
Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC.

I am a huge Lindsey Kelk fan and always think her books are a brilliant mix of general fiction / romance and laugh out loud moments.
This one for me took a while to get into and almost halfway through I found I didn’t really get where the story was going. I think it took a long time to get to the ‘Ball’ but from there to the end was really good.
It didn’t have me laughing as much as her other books have but it was an enjoyable, easy read.

Great book by Lindsey Kelk.

Modern day fairytale that makes you laugh out
and also shed a tear.

One of Kelk’s best recent books, this was slow to get started but the pay off of this Cinderella inspired romcom has her signature daffy but loveable leads, oodles of glamour and great chemistry between romantic leads. Fran ends up being one of the best lead characters as she is relatable and likeable, and I was rooting for her to find a happy ending.

A light-hearted and warm romantic comedy with a modern Cinderella vibe. A beautiful book to be enjoyed as a holiday read with a glass of something bubbly.

Francesca finds herself as a temporary PA for a mega pop star and on her way to Italy. Surely she can keep the music diva on schedule for five days, right? Not so fast. This has some Cinderella elements and I loved the way Kelk told this lovely tale with so much humor while modelling some excellent coping skills. You might find this to be a self-help title as well. And get ready for some tall, dark, and handsome. . . This is the romance you need in your 2022. Trust me. You will love it!

What a feel good book! I adored Lindsey Kelk's "I heart" series and this book was just as wonderful: equal parts funny to feel good. The protagonist Fran finds herself in a bit of a rut: her 12 year relationship with Stew has gone stagnant, he wants he to give up on assistant work that she adores and become a teacher, settling for the life they have. He refused to discuss it further. Fran finds herself out of work before Christmas and offered a 5 day PA role to a celebrity. With no opportunity to speak to Stew, an NDA signed, and she is whisked on a flight to Naples and launched onto a billionaire's yacht with the star of the moment Juliette. Of course, it is not plain sailing and she finds herself stranded in Panarea and hijacking the exclusive Crystal Ball in a stunning gown and trainers, Cinderella-esque. Throw in a dashing handsome male and the workings are there for a beautiful rom-com. However, the real focus is on Fran finding her own path- giving up the continuous self sacrifice of her own life to meet the needs of those around her and finally following her own path; and of course in forging strong female friendships that help raise you up. The handsome billionaire is a great bonus though! #OnANightLikeThis #LindseyKelk #Netgalley

A lovely rich man, poor girl romance with a famous singer and an exclusive ball thrown in for good measure, that’s without mentioning a mishap involving a cat. This novel is not very deep reading but does give some layers to people. I found the characters very easy to empathise with and it’s in true Lesley Kelk style.
