"You brought me here with impure motives?" The idea gave her a stupid thrill.He shook his head. "No. I developed them after you arrived."About Last Night is the story about a proper and successful aristocratic British banker, Nev Chamberlain, aka City and a spirited American wild child, Cath Talarico on the run from her shady past.  After taking the same train and exercising in the same park for months a too inebriated Cath finds herself rescued by Nev and waking up in his guestroom, but soon ends up in his bed.  What follows is Cath leading Nev on a merry chase with Nev relentless in his pursuit.  Everything speaks against them yet they can't seem to keep away from each other.  This is their story about new beginnings, learning to let go, taking risks and daring it all for love.Hero: Neville Chamberlain aka Nev/British/28 years/banker- artist/$$$/blond hair/hazel eyes/6' tallHeroine: Mary Catherine Talarico, aka Cath/American/26 years/assistant to curator-co-author to exhibit catalog/dark hair/brown eyes/5' tallNev/City is considerate, witty and loyal.  Cath is complicated, determined and observant."Nev was the man in the parlor and the painter in his studio, the banker and the rugby player. The boyfriend who bought her prawn crisps and rubbed her back when she cried. The tender lover. The caged beast who came out to play when they got naked together. He could be any of them.""Cath called all the shots. She seemed more comfortable that way, so Nev had decided not to press. Much. Instead, he looked for the loopholes and exploited them."About Last Night is Nev's journey of sticking up for himself, following his passion and thinking outside the box.  Cath on the other hand is already impulsive and not afraid to be different. She instead needs to work on her guilt and fears. So many people have let her down in her life she doesn't want to depend on anyone.  Cath needs to open up and be willing to take a chance on love."Cath didn't feel like a mistake to him. She felt like a beginning. A clean canvas, ready to be painted. A gorgeous new idea."Witty bantering, excellent character development, a bit of a mystery and life lessons to be learned.  Romantic, sexy and emotional! For me a sweet, feel good read.
