This was a fun, cute, humorous, short contemporary romance about second chances and first love. Ashley and Ethan were bestfriends in high school. A small misunderstanding and an unrequited love left them estrange for the last 9 years. Now they meet again and this time both decided to have a one night stand as closure on New Year's Eve. Kiss Me at Midnight was surprisingly an engaging and funny read. Where one would expect some angst filled moments we got refreshing characters that just went for the momentary lust filled moments rather than agonize about should we or not? I like Ashley's character. She knew what she wanted, she didn't expect anything except getting what she lost back in High school which was Ethan and she knew he was the type not to stay but still went for it. Ethan was a character that was traumatized in high school, an object of bullying and so coming back to their hometown was so much an ordeal he would prefer to stay away. There is character consistency in these two, their actions and emotions, their life situations were all plausible, giving it that edge of reality. Again, the thing I liked about it is the way that it was tackled, full of humor, wit and of course sizzling and sexy interactions between the two. The epilogue gives it that little bit of traditional romance but again this was definitely worth the read.
