Review

Belle Aurora is one of my absolute favorite authors because she easily weaves wit, sass, steam, and angst together in her storylines, creating entertaining and enticing reads, and her newest release, About Last Night… continues to showcase her talented writing.

I loved Mia/Maya from the start. She’s a heroine a lot of readers will be able to identify with…she’s quirky and innocent. She’s shy and doesn’t really know how to talk to guys. But she’s also intelligent and independent; she wants to be able to stand on her own without her brother’s help because it will prove to her and him that she’s stronger than he gives her credit for. She’s had her eye on her brother’s best friend, Matt Quinn, for awhile now; he’s the perfect guy for what Mia needs, and she’s determined to have him.

For five years, Quinn has worked for DFT as an escort, and he loves his life. He knows how to please women, and he prides himself on satisfying every client. He’s sexy, smooth talking, and he knows his way around a female body. But what he didn’t expect is starting a friendship with a client before he even meets her – a relationship that is simply an exchange of words, but through those discussions, Maya and Quinn get to know each other and find themselves anticipating one another’s texts and phone calls. But when they finally have their night together and then Quinn realizes who he’s fallen for, can they go back to being just friends or is Quinn’s pull towards Mia enough for him to give up his profession and maybe even his best friend to have a real chance at a relationship with her?

I love how Belle writes the progression of Maya and Quinn’s relationship, keeping in mind the shy person that Maya is. She’s not going to be one to jump into a face to face meeting right off the bat, so Belle starts their interactions off slowly, which fits Maya’s character perfectly. Getting both Mia and Quinn’s perspectives easily conveys the mixed feelings they both have as their friendship turns to more; their internal musings show the confusion they both feel and what’s at stake for both of them if/when they continue to see where this is going between the two of them.

I absolutely loved About Last Night… The secondary characters are just as amazing as Mia and Quinn, and Harry definitely needs to get his own book because he deserves his happy ending. Mia and Quinn grow individually and as a couple throughout the book, and I love the power that Mia has over Quinn, especially since she doesn’t believe someone like her could get someone like him when she’s exactly the person he needs.

Mia and Quinn’s story is sweet, sexy, and must read!
