On a Night Like This by Lindsey Kelk: Book Review

Happy Publication Day to On a Night Like This!  In one of my favourite reads of 2021, Lindsey Kelk takes us on a highly entertaining adventure to a Mediterranean island.  This author is one of my favourites and On a Night Like This is one of her best.

From The Publisher:

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…

Book Review:

I loved this book!  Fran is a lovely, highly likeable and funny protagonist who decides to take a chance and create her destiny. During this temporary job (which lasts only five days) she gains insight into the choices she’s made and what she truly wants out of life.

I enjoyed the setting on a yacht and the island of Panarea.  The author writes as though the reader is seeing through the eyes of Fran.  There is plenty of opulence, a bit of snobbery, and lots of laughter. The antics that Fran gets herself into during these five days had me laughing out loud and shaking my head.  This story is Lindsey Kelk at her best.

The night of the Crystal Ball is enchanting and reminiscent of Cinderella.  The romance that develops is simply magical and a perfect escape.  Fran is transformed into a “princess” for the night and pulls this off with her personal touch (including a very funny scene).

The story is one of letting go of the things that hold us back and taking chances. It is a sweet, charming and memorable read and one I recommend highly.  If you’re looking for a 5 star read to escape into, you won’t regret reading On A Night Like This.

What I Liked:

• The strength and willingness of Fran to re-examine her life and create opportunities for herself
• The opulent setting of the yacht and island of Panarea.
• The enchanting evening of the Crystal Ball, full of romance and hilarious antics.

I Recommend On a Night Like This To:

Those readers who enjoy a romantic comedy with stories of personal growth.

My Rating:
