Cath Talarico's life has been one huge train-wreck, damaged and twisted. She's made mistake after mistake, and they've all cost her, emotionally and physically. She decides to turn her life around and start anew, never again to make such mistakes.Until she met Nev.Nev Chamberlain has lived the life expected of him. A respectable--and well-paying--job in the family business, the proper wardrobe, the right friends. But he doesn't want to live like this, never has. He's been trying to break out of the mold his family has placed him in for years. This point is driven home once he meets Cath. He realizes that he needs to find himself, change his ways, live his own life. But will Catch allow him to live out his new life with her?About Last Night is one of the most emotionally charged books I have read in a while! I am not one to cry while reading, but watching Cath open up to Nev, and learn to put her past behind her--well, my eyes were a bit misty, I'll admit. And I loved every minute of it!Cath makes for a great heroine, tortured, scarred (emotionally and physically), but strong, much stronger than she thinks. She's been through hell, but she's turned things around. And after Nev enters her life, she finally realizes that, yes, her past helped to make her who she is today, but it isn't who she is. I really enjoyed Catch, and I wouldn't turn down having her as a friend if given the chance. :)And Nev...oh Nev! I never thought I'd fall for a stuffy, wealthy banker, English accent or not. But I fell for Nev--hard, just like Cath did. Not because of the character we were first introduced to (the stuffy, wealthy banker). Nope. It was the man he became for Cath that made my heart flutter and my pulse race. His creativity, his talent, his devotion and love for Cath--all these things and more made me love him. And his sexy, passionate side didn't hurt, either. :) Not to mention that accent... *sigh*5 STARS! I really enjoyed Knox's writing style in her debut novel earlier this year. But I absolutely loved her second novel, About Last Night! Sexy, romantic, witty--this contemporary had it all! And the heart-wrenching emotional roller-coaster that made up Cath and Nev's story had me crying like a babe, sighing like a romantic, and cheering for their HEA until the very end. A terrific and extremely steamy romance, About Last Night is a must read for any fan of the genre! I will definitely be putting Ruthie Knox on my auto-buy list, and I cannot wait to see what story she spins for us next.~ * ~ * ~Originally reviewed May 2012!~ * ~ * ~For my full review, including favorite book quotes, please visit my blog, TBQ's Book Palace.TheBookQueen
