HE’S PLAYING GAMES
Though Rylann Pierce tried to fight the sparks she felt for billionaire heir Kyle Rhodes the night they met, their sizzling chemistry was undeniable. But after being stood up on their first date, Rylann never expected to see him again. So when she finds herself face to face with Kyle in a courthouse nine years later, she’s stunned. More troubling to the beautiful Assistant U.S. Attorney is that she’s still wildly attracted to him.
BUT SHE’S MAKING THE RULES
Just released from prison, Kyle Rhodes isn’t thrilled to be the star witness in a high-profile criminal case—but when Rylann comes knocking at his door, he finds she may be the one lawyer he can’t say no to. Still as gorgeous and sharp-tongued as ever, she lays down the law: she doesn’t mix business with pleasure. But Kyle won’t give up on something he wants—and what he wants is the one woman he’s never forgotten. . .

It was a nice read but It seemed rushed at the end.

This series was phenomenal; an excellent read and even in my world where I try to get reading done, but often my life and/or my own writing interferes, I just couldn't put this series down, especially this book.
I do think About That Night is the best of the series so far. To see Kyle finally get his HEA was a nice ride and the quirks that happen between him and Rylann were so funny, they had me laughing so hard I was in tears.
I would definitely recommend this series to anyone looking for a bit of suspense, a lot of comedy and a whole lot of sexy scenes. A great read, once again.
5 out of 5 stars.

A- spicy
One of my most anticipated books to read this year. I have been dying for Kyle (aka: The Twitter Terrorist) story. What I didn't expect about this book was the history between these two, which occurred way before Kyle became the infamous Twitter Terrorist. I love how Julie wrote their story so it wasn't all about the present tense of their lives. There is a long history there for both of them and it really enriched this story.
These two had a chemistry instantly when they met nine years before although Kyle was way too full of himself and cocky for Rylann's tastes. She immediately shut him down, but Kyle didn't give up and then neither one could refute their chemistry and they agreed to a date. A date that Kyle never showed for when his life shattered to pieces, but he never forgot Rylann.
As with all of Julie's books, this book is made by these two wonderful characters. Kyle is extremely intelligent and savvy, but he's also human. That very human side lost control when his Victoria Secret model girlfriend dumped him very publicly on Twitter. In a drunken rage, he shut down the very popular social site for two days. Nope, the FBI didn't take very kindly to that so they and the Chicago Attorney General's office went after him and flambe'ed him in court. The results....Kyle was sent to prison as a felon. Luckily, Kyle has managed to maintain his incredible personality even though he's spent 4 months in prison. He knows that he screwed up in one of the stupidest ways possible and has kept his sense of humor about it. He is also very aware that a girl ultimately caused his downfall, so he is not looking to get involved with another one anytime soon. And that's where Julie nails him by making "the one that got away" show up in his final day in court.
Like all of Julie's heroines, Rylann is smart, independent, with a snarky streak a mile wide. I LOVE her heroines! They are always so much fun to read and they always have the perfect comeback to any situation. In my dreams, I would like to be able to channel one of Julie James' heroines into my personality.
The main conflict in this story is that Rylann just started as an Assistant US Attorney in the Chicago office and Kyle is a felon. The two do not mix especially since Rylann is still trying to make a positive impression in her office. An office which has a long, antagonistic relationship with Kyle.
Filled with TONS of humor and witty dialogue, Julie James proves once again why she is one of my favorite contemporary authors. Another great installment.

Julie James is such a great author. I love how her books are intelligent, witty and sexy all at the same time. Plus she uses strong, independent women that all have unisex names. This book was just as great as her others. I highly recommend it!

I love all of her books. They are all unique with their storyline and characters. .I liked how Kyle maintained his sense of humor throughout this book. A definite laugh out loud.
Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.I am slightly disappointed with this book. I loved the 1st and 2nd book in the series but this book fell flat for me. When I reached the halfway mark I realized this was not going to have the action like the others. Rylann and Kyle were plain and nothing really happened. If this would have been the first book I might not have continued to read the series.

Love theses books. So funny, witty. I laughed out loud, often. Good fun stories too.
I decided to read this book because it was #1 in the 2012 best romantic reads (todate). It just didn't do it for me.... it took too long to get to the point and I felt myself waiting for it to get better. I think there are better books out there. The description of what took place in the past was dragged out with too many words. I think more time should have been focused on the present and the building between them now.

## Julie james is brilliant. Another amazing read! Sexy, fun and exciting. The two leads were fabulous. I loved the way she writes her heroines. They are absolutely incredible. Strong and beautiful with a ton of sass. The story was superb and the dialogue was tremendously witty. My favorite book by julie remains 'a lot like love' and i would highly recommend reading it before this one because it continues the story and makes it so much more satisfying. Note to author: MORE PLEASE!

This is the first of Julie James books that I read and then read the others before it. I absolutely loved this story. I loved the history of the characters. Their chemistry was obvious right from the beginning. I loved the story because it spanned time and told a great story of getting through tough obstacles for both Kyle and Rylann. Both knew what it meant to be hurt and both recognized there total attraction to each other. The dialogue was great. The story had a lot of personality and emotion along with great humor. Its a definite read.
