About That Night

I might've give it another extra star but About That Night disappoints me at one level.

Witty dialogues, check. Gorgeous main characters, check. Steamy sex, dirty words and multiple orgasms, check and check and check. Funny moments, check. Sooo... why does this novel disappoints me so? Alas, it has become one of those chick lits/contemporary romances that is cliched.

Yes, it does tell the story of the main characters, Kyle - the Twitter Terrorist and Rylann - Meth Lab Rylann/Prosecutrix Pierce. But that's all. He met her, got caught in her smile, kissed her one night and stood her up on their very first date nine years ago. Of course, as fate would have it, they meet again, under different circumstance. He's the con, she's the prosecutor. How convenient.

And how very predictable.

If you're familiar with James' works, you'll get it. It predictable from the very first chapter.

A fun, light read, if that is what you're looking for.
