It was an absolute joy to listen to this audiobook. Charlotte Beaumont and Arthur McBain were a perfect choice to voice Ruby and Nic.

Ruby meets Nic after selling her sofa to him. Who'd have thought that by this simple act, would lead to a one night stand on Ruby's final evening in London. She's moving to Manchester to run away from her ex and to start Uni. That is just the start!

I didn't want this to end, I've always enjoyed Laura Jane Williams' writing and I think this is her best yet.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC audiobook.

I did like the narrator, I will look out for her in the future.
The story was good, just felt like it was too long and dragged out.
Ruby wasn’t my favourite character at all.
Nick was ok, but I think in the real world he would have told her where to go!
All in all an okay romance.

I was excited to read this as I've enjoyed other Laura Jane Williams books and I did enjoy it but it's not my favourite.

The chemistry between Ruby and Nic was great and I was rooting for them to get together but I didn't enjoy some parts in the middle, there seemed to be too many subplots happening all at once, but I did enjoy how it all came together at the end.

The side characters were fantastic and I loved the dynamic between them all, especially JP, and I was very invested in his story as well as the main plot.

It's his first night in London. And her last...
Ruby's leaving London after being offered an exciting opportunity in a new city at just the perfect time – away from her ex. Nic is moving to London after a bad break up – he is excited to see where the big city life could take him. When a chance meeting throws the pair of them together for just one night, it's clear that this could be the start of something special. But there's one problem: she's leaving, and he's just arriving. So, after tonight, they'll never see each other again... will they?

I was thrilled when netgalley offered me a chance to read an ARC for One Night With You. Laura Jane Williams is a romantic comedy guru and I really enjoyed ‘The Lucky Escape’ and ‘The Love Square’.
I found this one to be a very contemporary romance- more emotional. It was funny, heart-breaking and genuine. I enjoyed the chapter split between the perspectives of Nic and Ruby. Nic was great, a totally unique character and I valued his quirkiness.

This isn't a typical romance, more contemporary but overall a wonderful story of two strangers and one night that changes everything!

**Listened to audio book as well as reading the e-book**

I have loved Laura Jane William's books in the past, but unfortunately this book just didn't do it for me. It was lacking in the chemistry between characters that her other books have had. The book was also lacking in any real drama too. It just felt a bit ploddy. Nothing much happens.
It felt believable - but because of this, it also was very slow paced.

I liked the narrator, and she was easy to listen to.

I feel really disappointed with this one, I hope William's next one goes back to her usual form.

One Night With You by Laura Jane Williams

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

Ruby’s leaving London. She’s not running away from her ex per se, but an exciting opportunity in a new city has landed at the perfect time.

Nic is moving to London. After a bad break-up, he’s excited to see where big-city life could take him.

When a chance meeting throws the pair of them together for just one night, it’s clear that this could be the start of something special. But there’s one problem: she’s leaving, and he’s just arriving. So, after tonight, they’ll never see each other again . . . will they?

I have previously enjoyed a novella by Laura so I was interested in seeing if I would also enjoy a full length novel - this lived up to my expectations. The night before she leaves London, Ruby meets Nic on his first night in the city - you may guess what happens next. There are multiple plots running in parallel through this book with Nic and Ruby going their separate ways - will their paths ever meet again?

A good representation of right person, wrong time. A beautifully written book that focuses on the main characters as individuals. I enjoyed the ending and I am sure you will too.

Thank you Netgalley and HarperCollins UK Audio for the opportunity to listen to this arc audiobook.

Ruby is leaving London and Nick is moving to London. An epic one night stand and the rest is history.

The start of the story was great, a bit too much insight in unnecessary topics, but overall an enjoyable read.

Thank you to NetGalley, sharper Collins Audio, Avon Books and Laura Jane Williams for an audio ARC in return for an honest review.

Ruby is leaving London, she needs to focus on her ambitions. Nic is moving to London after a nasty break up. Nic buys Rubys sofa and the chemistry is instant but it’s the wrong time for both of them.

Oh my goodness, I adore this book. ‘One Night With You’ is just outstanding from start to finish. It’s romantic, funny and sad in places. You end up so invested in all the characters and the plot is brilliant. I can’t hype this book enough. It will be a bestseller.

The narrators; Charlotte Beaumont and Arthur McBain add extra warmth and romance to this already outstanding book. Their voices are perfect for Nic and Ruby and suited them beautifully.

This is perfect for fans of Beth O’Leary.

I have mixed feelings about this book couse I was lost in the middle but it comed all together and the end so I was glade and sattisfied. I love the steam between the mc but then suddeny was all dark and I was sad but it is all part of a plan and belivable somehow. Many difficult themes like abortions and death .

Many thanks to Harper Collins Audio and Netgalley for this audio copy.
