Fiction. Literature. Romance. Though Rylann Pierce tried to fight the sparks she felt for billionaire heir Kyle Rhodes the night they met, their sizzling chemistry was undeniable. But after being stood up on their first date, Rylann never expected to see him again. So when she finds herself face to face with Kyle in a courthouse nine years later, she's stunned. More troubling to the beautiful Assistant U.S. Attorney is that she's still wildly attracted to him.Just released from prison, Kyle Rhodes isn't thrilled to be the star witness in a high-profile criminal case-but when Rylann comes knocking at his door, he finds she may be the one lawyer he can't say no to. Still as gorgeous and sharp-tongued as ever, she lays down the law: she doesn't mix business with pleasure. But Kyle won't give up on something he wants-and what he wants is the one woman he's never forgotten . . .… (mer)

This will be fairly short. I didn't like this one. Seriously. The plot was ridiculous and I am sorry I could not really get over a woman with an important job like Rylann's would be okay with her dating a former criminal. Then again it's a new day in the world and white collar crimes seem to just be getting ignored right now. That said, I didn't really like the male lead Kyle at all. I thought the two of them didn't really fit and thought the book focused too much on Nick and Jordan from book #2 for my taste.

"About That Night" has Rylann Pierce coming face to face with the guy she hasn't seen in 9 years after having an epic meet-cute, billionaire heir, Kyle Rhodes. Now that Rylann is working for the U.S. Attorney's office, she is in charge of wrapping up Kyle's criminal case. Initially brushing him off, she ends up having to seek him out again when another case comes up that needs Kyle's help.

I thought the whole Kyle is a witness that needs to help out the U.S. Attorney's could have been done better. I thought that James just rushed to wrap up that plot-line. The rest of the book was just Kyle and Rylann being together and they were not a big enough draw for me after a while. I think that James included so much from Jordan and Nick since there was not enough to hang a whole book on with these two.

The sex scenes were meh. Ultimately this book is mostly about Rylann having to decide between her job and Kyle, and I was all for her dumping Kyle. ( )

It's not exactly that I don't like this book. It's that I don't care. I think, despite having two of this author's books left on my Kobo, is time to admit she doesn't do it for me. Heavily plot-driven, yet unrealistic situations aren't the romance I favor.

I'd be really surprised if an ethical lawyer didn't immediately, whether new or not, disclose history with a defendant anf/or a witness. I have a job where I have to disclose stuff. I do so unreservedly. What a dumb risk.

Anyway, that's not really the point. The point is I don't know how many more times I can read about what a legal mind she is, or how she works as a AUSA. IT'S every paragraph. ( )

The book was ok but I'm preferential to books with more mystery in them. ( )

About That Night
2 Stars

The night they first met, Kyle Rhodes and Rylann Pierce made sparks fly. Now, he is an ex-con and potential witness in a high profile case that Rylann, a US Attorney, is assigned to. Neither can allow their past to cloud the present but passion has way of overcoming all obstacles.

Was expecting a romantic suspense plot and got a disappointing contemporary romance instead. Why deviate from the series style, especially since the potential for an excellent suspense story involving conspiracy in the prison system is definitely there?

Rylann and Kyle's romance is cute and steamy but their characters are too stereotypical and superficial - Rylann tries to be a tough as nails/play with the boys prosecutor and Kyle is the sensitive bad boy trying to make amends after a stupid mistake. Unfortunately, even their sarcastic banter, which is not up to the same standards as the previous books, cannot rescue the mundane plot.

The pacing is too slow and the long flashback toward the end is completely superfluous. The conflict revolves around keeping Rylann and Kyle's relationship secret to avoid embarrassment, which is both poorly executed and irritating.

There is another book coming out soon and I only hope that James returns to the tried and true romantic suspense plots of books 1 and 2. ( )
