SYNOPSIS
Within days of wishing she could change her life, Fran Cooper is acting assistant to a celebrity, on a yacht in the Mediterranean, and en route to a tiny Italian island and the glittering Crystal Ball, along with the world’s rich and famous.
When she – quite literally – bumps into a handsome American called Evan, a man able to keep his cool in the face of chaos, the magic really begins.
Evan makes her a promise: no last names, no life stories, just one unforgettable night. Yet Evan belongs at the Crystal Ball and Fran is a gatecrasher. They may be soulmates, but their homes are an ocean apart, and their lives a world apart. They’ll never meet again – unless, on a night like this, everything can change forever.

REVIEW
RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It’s been a while since I enjoyed a rom-com so much! On a night like this was absolutely perfect from start to finish and this contemporary version of Cinderella was a delightful read.
When Francesca accepts a mysterious job as a PA to a celebrity her life will turn upside down in a matter of days, and after a magical night at the Crystal Ball she will be forever changed.
Fran was such a nice character. She was smart, down to earth, funny (I actually laughed out loud with several of her remarks) and way too caring with others that usually don’t deserve it (I hated Stew’s guts!). During her stint as a PA to international singer Juliette, she experienced a journey of self realization and personal growth that was truly relatable. How many times have we all been stucked in a situation/job/relationship just for convenience and fear of taking a leap?
Although Juliette’s character had her moments, I liked her from the start as she was a clear case of someone alone even when surrounded by dozens. I loved how her relationship with Fran evolved.
The Crystal Ball was quite something! And what to say about Evan! OMG! I fell in love with him too. I loved his outlook on life and his jigsaw puzzle theory.
Although it may look this is just a romance story, it is much more. It is a story about relationships, but also about friendships, second chances and taking notice of what you really want from life and going for it. It deals with all these themes in a really uplifting way, helped by a fantastic cast of characters.
Sweet and funny story that will make for the perfect seasonal read. If you’re in the mood for a modern fairy tale, On a night like this is your book.
