Within days of wishing she could change her life, Fran Cooper is acting assistant to a celebrity, on a yacht in the Mediterranean, and en route to a tiny Italian island and the glittering Crystal Ball, along with the world’s rich and famous.
When she – quite literally – bumps into a handsome American called Evan, a man able to keep his cool in the face of chaos, the magic really begins.
Evan makes her a promise: no last names, no life stories, just one unforgettable night. Yet Evan belongs at the Crystal Ball and Fran is a gatecrasher. They may be soulmates, but their homes are an ocean apart, and their lives a world apart. They’ll never meet again – unless, on a night like this, everything can change forever…

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 January 2025What a wonderful read! All too often a book that’s labelled as a rom com isn’t really funny at all. This one completely lived up to the label. I really did laugh out loud on so many occasions- Fran’s adventures were totally unbelievable yet she was such an engaging and relatable character that it was impossible to not be swept up in what was happening to her. Yes, the main plot was fairly predictable but that didn’t matter- it was the perfect antidote for post Christmas blues. Thank you, Lindsey Kelk. I’m already looking forward to reading another of your fab books.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 January 2022I only gave this farcical story four stars because it was so uplifting! There were some grammatical howlers, which should have been picked up by the editorial team, but I was swept along on a ludicrous tide of the heroine's hair-raising ducking and diving antics between triumphs and disasters. Of course it's chick lit, but it's good fun and will raise the most jaded post-Christmas spirits.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 July 2023This is a modern fairytale where the heroine lives in Sheffield, wears jogging bottoms and makes a great cup of tea. But even ordinary people deserve an extraordinary night of magic.
Fran is stuck in a dead end relationship with her miserable fiancé Stew. Until she takes a job in London that whisks her into a lavish world of luxury yachts, haute couture, and dreamy looking billionaires.
So many crazy things happen to Fran, many of them laugh out loud funny, but she deals with them in a practical, down to earth way which makes her a very relatable heroine.
This was such a fun, whimsical and witty story and the Italian setting is just the best. This was my first Lindsey Kelk book and I loved it! 5 crystal stars!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 May 2024Lindsey Kelk does it again another fantastic novel that once you start to read you can’t stop. Thoroughly recommend this book
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 November 2021This is my read of the year so far. Thank you #netgalley!!!
Frans journey of self discovery and emancipation is funny, heartfelt, encouraging and engaging. Along the way we meet Stew her fiancée, Jess her best friend, Juliette, the to die for Evan and a host of other characters who are either loveable, frustrating or annoyingly well placed to tell the story of grey mouse meets world of glitz and glamour.
Amazing how 5 days away from your regular life can lead to drastic realisations and changes.
Its so easy to fall into habit, so much harder to fall back out of it.
Gorgeous story, well written and put together.

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2022Easy read but I feel like I was expecting too much. I thought I’d be transported away on a magical romantics night along with the character but I really wasn’t. The night in question, wasn’t described all that magically. I only remember two scenes that could be considered as such. It just didn’t quite hit the spot
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2022It took me a while to engage with the characters but once I had I enjoyed their story. Some elements are a little unbelievable but worth reading. The central concepts of guilt and the effect of other peoples perceptions was handled very well.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 January 2022On a Night Like This is a true Cinderella story, the ugly step sisters and clock countdown take other forms but the path to self discovery, the urgency and most importantly the romance are all present and pure! I loved this book and it was the perfect way to kick of 2022 because even if Fran’s journey was too delicious to ever be real it left me filled with joy and hope that the world isn’t so bad after all with authors like Lindsey Kelk there to give us a dose of feel good, soul hugging story telling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Romance, Adult Fiction
Oh my goodness when I tell you I absolutely love this book! This has become one of my new favorite books!
I had no idea what to expect when I began reading this book, it started out with Francesca, Fran for short stuck in a rut and trapped in her life with her fiancé who was holding her back.
Fran goes from sitting in a cafe with her friend Jess to being whisked away onto a luxurious yacht to be an assistant to a famous singer. They bond and they chat as if they were old friends but before Fran knows it she’s stuck on an island she’s never been to with no way home until the next morning.
Firstly I just want to saw that while there is romance it’s not the center of this novel and that is what I think I love the most about this book. It is about a woman who learns that she deserves better, she needs to put herself first for once and stop letting other people get in the way of her happiness.
Fran has always been the type to listen and do what’s best for other people but through this journey to a small island in Italy in a place she isn’t supposed to be she learns from a special someone, Evan that life is like a jigsaw puzzle and her jigsaw puzzle has been in a box in the furthest part of the attic for much too long. The end of this book was bittersweet and left me wanting more of Fran and Evan, crossing my fingers we meet them again in the future.
I finished this book in one sitting and I have to say that I will definitely be buying a physical copy so that I can read this many more times in the future!!
Thank you so much to HarperCollins, Edelweiss+, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this novel! I also want to thank Lindsey Kelk for writing this incredible novel!

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended! Very entertaining
Oh I loved this one and I'm sure you will too. I found the story quite original, I didn't want the book to end. It's a romantic book but also quite hilarious, which is always what I look for in a fiction story, some laugh out loud moments. Highly recommended, it was very entertaining.
